to be ingesting that as if conditions weren't disturbing enough, police say the two suspects arrested are founders of their own animal rescue organization. >> they ran sbc pet a palooza rescue inc, and police say they were well known in the rescue community. gilroy resident liz garcia said her family adopted kylo in 2022 from the organization. months later, kylo needed extensive surgery to repair a broken pelvis that healed incorrectly, starting to come together as to maybe why this had happened to him. >> and it was just devastating to even think of what all these other poor animals had gone through and what they had experienced. >> julie nguyen also adopted her dog, kubo from pet palooza in 2022. she says she was reassured that cooper was great with other dogs. nguyen quickly found out he wasn't. >> i don't know, i feel almost

catfish from her. >> after nearly a year of training and trying to get kubo out of his shell, nguyen surrendered kubo back to pet a palooza two weeks ago. thinking he would be better there. >> when i found out, i felt so guilty. >> police said shelters and rescue groups from monterey to walnut creek have taken in the animals. nguyen hopes someone will see the story and let her know how seven year old german shepherd kubo is doing. >> i just want to know if he's okay and what we can do to help. he's a loving boy, but he's afraid of the world. and now i know why. >> in the south bay lauren martinez, abc seven news. >> now, we spoke with experts who say that if you're looking to adopt from a shelter or rescue, you should always observe and ask questions about how the animals are transported and cared for. a good question is how many animals they currently have at the facility and how many spaces do they actually have? >> happening now. search efforts are underway for a hiker who

disappeared over the weekend in the angeles national forest. a 59 year old northern california woman disappeared saturday morning while hiking along the san gabriel river near the heaton flats trailhead. la county sheriff's officials say she was with a couple of friends when she attempted to cross the river. the woman lost her footing and was swept away. it has made other hikers extra cautious. >> we came with two people just in case something were to happen, you know, something like that. for us to go missing and we have like a trail thing so that if we were to go missing, we have an actual gps for us to track us back. >> some hikers believe the trail along the river could be washed out because of last week's rain. the woman's identity has not yet been released. >> eight fbi agents raided a federal women's prison today in dublin. it comes after a number of former employees had been convicted of sexual assault on prisoners. the warden was even removed from the facility today. abc seven news reporter joe stone is following the story and has the very latest from the ground. >> fbi agents could be seen

walking into the women's federal prison in dublin monday with boxes from sky seven. they could be seen walking the premises. >> the feds are casting a very wide net here to look into this prison and all of the corruption that occurred there, and i think that's why they want to look at all the records and computers of the individuals at the prison, because they don't want to just rely on information from the inmates. >> that's legal analyst steven clark. he's giving his take on the situation with the troubled dublin prison. the fbi raided the facility monday as prisoners continue to come forward with sexual abuse allegations, including rape against employees and past employees, some of whom have already been convicted and are in jail. >> in the criminal cases, we've seen a pattern of guards intentionally targeting immigrant women. i think presuming that those women would then be deported once they were released from prison, and that would make it harder to hold

them accountable. >> susan beatty is a lawyer who represents victims in some of the cases. she wants outside oversight of the facility going forward. she also believes mental health care support should be available for victims. monday, the warden, associate warden and prison captain were all removed from service at the dublin prison. >> we're also in touch with over a dozen women who have been assaulted by dublin officials and were subsequently deported and so now are permanently separated from their families and communities, clark says he wouldn't be surprised if there were more arrests in this dublin case. >> any time you have what turns out to be a public relations disaster and a national disgrace as to what you saw occurring at the prison, you want to get to the bottom of it to ensure that not just things at dublin are done right, but at prisons throughout the country. they're being handled right. >> the fbi and bureau of prisons have not provided details on the case or monday's search. j.r. stone, abc seven news.

>> we simply cannot allow an app controlled by our nation's foremost adversary and competitor to take over the american media landscape. >> lawmakers from both parties have long expressed concerns that chinese authorities could force bytedance to hand over data from its millions of users. the worries come from a set of chinese national security laws that compel organizations to help with intelligence gathering, a tiktok spokesperson released this statement blasting the legislation, saying, quote, this will damage millions of businesses, deny artists an audience, and destroy the livelihoods of countless creators across the country, three abc news reports tiktok creators are expected to be in washington this week. the ceo of tiktok will be in the capitol. the company insists it's a pre-scheduled trip, although multiple sources confirm lawmakers are getting requests to meet with the ceo. tiktok appears to be focusing much of its lobbying efforts on the senate, a sign the company is aware of the growing bipartisan support for the bill in the
