dwight and then, like full gear riot cops, crossbody rifles jump out and start sprinting into the park. uc berkeley says these shipping containers, as well as the amount of police that night, was necessary because the last time they tried to fence off this park, they were met with heavy protests. in the summer of 2022. >> all of that was made necessary because when we tried to close the park in august of 22, there was an outbreak of violence and vandalism, now questions are being raised over if the university has a developer to build this project. the university says they are the developers of the student housing building, but they're looking for one to build the affordable housing complex. >> we don't have a developer for that yet because we want to settle the legal issues first, and then absolutely, we're going to find a developer. there's a lot of interest out there. >> meanwhile, the students and alumni say they want the university to look elsewhere. >> you have no developer, and that's really not what we want. we've told you like what we want

vote coming tomorrow if a new bill is passed. tiktok's parent company would have to sell the app to a us based company or

else. abc seven news south bay reporter dustin dorsey explains how that would work. >> the clock may be ticking for tiktok. a new bill would force the social media apps, chinese based parent company bytedance, to divest in tiktok or face a us ban. tech expert omid bonoff said this could ultimately cripple the app that has 170 million us users, more than any other country in the world. so it's a critical problem. >> it doesn't mean that they're going to go to the phones of every single user and uninstall it. the government will ask apple and google to remove it from their app stores, so there is no more update. the app itself is going to start becoming outdated, and it's going to start becoming less attractive, and it's going to die out over time. >> this is not the first time the app has faced a ban. in 2020, an executive order from president donald trump was ultimately blocked by the courts. this time, tiktok is fighting back. >> did you wake up with this message on tiktok today? >> the app is calling on its users to reach out to their local congress person to fight the ban. if tiktok is banned, it

would be a huge blow to businesses and content creators like san jose's adam juratovac. it allows you to find people who are also like minded with yourselves, but also allow you to search for different opinions, different locations. >> so though this ban would actually impact a lot of small american businesses, this ban would actually impact a lot of content creators who are building their careers using the tiktok platform. >> juratovac is not only a content creator, but also a lawyer. he understands the concern for congress is exploitation of tiktok user data, including video history, user location, even user estimated income. but he thinks the government needs to worry about constitutional rights. >> they have to follow the us constitution when it comes to restricting the bill of rights, including the first amendment. there are very specific, particular cities that the government has to prove in order to revenge on that speech or to infringe on that right wednesday, the bill will face a house vote. >> next would be the senate. then president biden. he said he will sign it immediately should

it reach his desk. dustin dawsey, abc seven news. >> robert f kennedy junior is apparently zeroing in on a running mate, and it's an interesting list. the new york times reports aaron rodgers and jesse ventura are on his short list. rodgers would be an interesting choice since he's the quarterback of the new york jets and the height of the campaign would coincide with football season. ventura would also bring star power. the former wrestler served as minnesota's governor. kennedy is running as an independent. >> still ahead, growing concerns about quality control at boeing. we're taking a closer look at reports of the company's failed audits by the faa and how it could affect domestic air travel. >> and just a reminder, the tax deadline is quickly approaching. so to help you get ready, seven on your side is teaming up with united way bay area and hosting a tax chat this friday. you can get your questions answered by tax professionals by sending them in. now just go to abc seven news.com and click seven on your side to find the form.
