unhoused people off the streets. >> abc seven news reporter luz pena learned more about the operation, and she has our top story tonight, luis. >> yes. almost a week ago, mayor breed announced the city would begin to adjust its practices for encampment resolutions and offer services to people on the streets. but as we continue to cover this, we have learned that there are actually two types of operations happening at the same time, and one of them doesn't include social services on site. july 31st, 2024 our crews captured the moment public works employees cleared out several items from homeless individuals across from pier 39 on the side, one sfpd officer overseeing the operation. people here told us they have felt harassed by police officers for weeks. >> nobody called you. nobody called you. you just. you just know what our stuff looks like. so you come over here and you harass us. just. it's sad. >> turns out that aside from the city's emergency management encampment, resolutions that include giving people a 72 hour notice. sfpd has been doing

their own operations and public works, is following orders, working with them in tandem on those smaller encampments in some of the neighborhoods. this all goes in line with what the mayor announced last week, announcing police officers will be going out to address smaller encampments, saying in part, the goal of the engagements is to prevent encampments for areas recently cleared and adding sfpd will be able to offer connections and information about shelters or services and public works staff will follow all bag and tag policies. >> going to the afternoons. now early evenings places where there are smaller encampments and where there have been encampments before, this man, who did not want to be identified, said public works took his belongings several weeks ago and did not bag and tag accurately. >> when i went to dpw to retrieve all my property, they only said i had five items. and then on the police report, it shows that i had way more than five items. so clearly the dude was lying. >> public works confirmed they can store everything.

>> a lot of times we come across items that are really contaminated with human waste of some sort or with needles or with fetid food. >> the big difference between the city's emergency management team and sfpd's operations is one uses social service workers, the other doesn't. the vice chair of the city's homelessness oversight commission wants police to also use social service workers, so it's a very concerning to not have leading with a social service response. >> this is a public health crisis. a lot of people that are experiencing homelessness also suffer from substance use disorder. >> we contacted sfpd. they responded with a list of their policies. the mayor did say that the sfpd strategy will be evaluated and modified for effectiveness based on outcomes. luz pena, abc seven news. >> all right, louis, thanks very much for all of our reporting around the issue of homelessness and the crisis in the city and around the bay area, including expert analysis and how we got here. just head to our website,

musk announced that he planned to move the company to austin, texas. we reached out to x for comment, but we have not heard back. >> nearly a year ago we told you about federal workers near san francisco's federal building working from home because they were worried for their safety. >> well, it turns out that they may not be the only ones. a major san francisco based corporation appears to be taking it really a step further, asking that you move out of their way so they can go to work. >> abc seven news reporter liam melendez found out about this security policy and what's behind it. leanne. >> yeah, well, this corporation says that this is a nationwide policy, and we're talking about wells fargo bank, a bank that has called san francisco home since 1852. now they claim these extreme security measures are designed to keep employees safe. but we are asking safe from exactly what? now, statistics show that despite its previous reputation as a dangerous place,

san francisco is actually one of the safest major cities in the united states. now, when you see where and how this is being applied, you have to wonder, is this a policy rooted in fact or just more fear? the time is 8:40 a.m, 20 minutes before this wells fargo branch in the financial district is set to open to the public. the way employees enter the branch resembles something out of a spy movie. each worker is positioned a distance away from the entrance. they constantly check their surroundings and wait until they are given some kind of permission to enter. otherwise they are not allowed to proceed. this wells fargo employee starts walking towards the bank, but then retreats and waits behind this column. a few seconds later, she makes her move. this other employee circles the entire building before he enters from the right side of the building several

minutes later. bizarre? somewhat. but what happened next took us by surprise. customers are not allowed to stand or wait within a few feet of the door, while employees are entering. even though this is a public space. the man sitting near the entrance, an abc seven staffer, was asked to move away because the employee you see on the right of your screen is about to enter the bank. good morning sir. >> how are you, we're letting some members in and we were just for a brief period of time, and you said delcastillo, right? just for a brief point of time. so we can get all our team in. >> why do i have to move? it's like a public plaza. >> we then approached the wells fargo employee to ask why the unusual policy? >> excuse me, excuse me. >> i'm with abc seven news. my name is lyanne melendez. we'd like to know why you have this security policy. is is this wells fargo in general? throughout the country at a

different san francisco wells fargo branch. a young man standing next to the entrance was asked to move away and to also stand clear of the atm. but this time, the wells fargo employee explained the company's security policy as employees enter. are you with the bank? >> yeah. wells fargo correct. is it a policy that people have to step away from the door? yeah. and who instituted that policy? >> our security for our safety. for the safety of our team members. we can't have anybody standing by the door or by the atm in case there's an ambush and try to get in. we can't have anybody in this area. so due to the safety of our team. >> okay. is this a national policy or is it applied just to san francisco? why, just because we're curious. >> she then told us to call corporate headquarters. wells fargo said the policy applies nationwide but would not answer our specific questions about this unusual procedure of moving

people from public places for their employees, but sent this statement, quote, the safety of our employees and customers is our top priority to keep our employees and customers safe, the branches surrounding areas must be clear before employees can enter the branch. we apologize for the inconvenience. this may cause our valued customers. according to san francisco police incident data, there have been only eight bank robberies this year in the city. in random places, police told us. most robbers don't carry a weapon and end up giving tellers a note. we asked other banks if they followed the same procedure. only bank of america responded to what wells fargo was doing by stating, quote, this sounds like an industry security procedure and advised us to contact the california bankers association. they wrote, quote, specific opening procedures can vary depending on the branch location. we send

someone to monitor a wells fargo bank in new york city. this is the branch on east 14th street near union square. it's 843 in the morning, and the bank has not opened to the public and employees are arriving. >> i will be seeing if the same policies exist in san francisco as they do in new york. at wells fargo, i will be standing outside near the door and see if they kick me out before opening. >> the person stands next to the door and engages with another customer, who is also waiting in front of the entrance. meanwhile, wells fargo employees wait for the branch manager to open the door. the customers standing outside in the path of the employees are never asked to move. when the bank opens to the public at 9:00, they are greete. >> they can't actually usher people off of our sidewalks in front of their business anyway, the president of the board of supervisors told us he is

concerned with wells fargo's security policy and the negative image it might portray. >> they do it in san francisco. they're headquartered here. yeah. what does that say about wells fargo? what does it say about the city? >> it says it's time for me to pick up the phone and call the head of wells fargo, because the reality is, the streets of san francisco are safe. they're as safe as any city in this country. they're safer than our conditions, are safer than most of the cities in this country. >> now, supervisor peskin said if wells fargo employees feel frightened or concerned about their safety, he wants to know why. now, you heard the word ambush in that report. wells fargo would not say if any of their employees have ever been attacked or ambushed. now, police told us also to their knowledge, they do not have any reports of a wells fargo employee being ambushed. and that might change the dynamic here. that's right. absolutely >> we haven't heard. >> kind of puzzling because the bank opens at nine from 9 to 5. anybody could go in and rob the

bank. >> sure. so what's the magic happening? >> puzzling that they're right. >> doing it. start of the day at eight from 830 to 9. >> weird. all right. >> thanks for looking into it. thanks, liane. >> up next, vice president kamala harris nears a decision on a running mate. what we know about the timing and who's on the short list. and ahead of the new election, a new scam targeting voters. >> people are getting unsolicited text messages that say you're not registered to vote or you're inactive. >> what you need to watch out for so your information doesn't end up in the wrong hands. it happens all the time.

this week, when biden announced harris as his own running mate. the democratic party's delegate roll call ends tonight. last week, harris earned enough delegate support to officially earn her party's nomination and we heard from california senator laphonza butler this afternoon on what she thinks about those top two running mate choices. >> the vice president thinks about the people of this country first and foremost. and so she's looking for governing partner who's going to share that priority, who she can deploy around the world to help to achieve global peace, and someone who is going to be there in the situation room at tough times and help her to make tough decisions in the best interest of our nation. >> butler says she's excited to see how the next three months of the campaign play out. she hopes the campaign will proceed without all the hate and division we've seen recently, so voters can get a better sense of the vision, the candidates have for america. >> as you work to make sure your vote counts this november and warning about scams, texts are

first preseason game this weekend in nashville. whether aiyuk is actually in red and gold at that time is very much in question. matt barrows of the athletic is reporting that multiple teams have contacted the 40 niners about a trade for aiyuk, including the browns, patriots and steelers. the issue with any of these potential deals is that the 40 niners, they don't want draft picks. they want to win a super bowl this year. they need good players. so any trade would have to include getting back somebody's top receiver. hello davante adams raiders or amari cooper. so stay tuned on this one. the impasse continues since the giants were last at 500 on may 31st. they've had five different chances to even their record since then. and they lost all five times. okay hard to say you're a real contender for a playoff spot until you can at least get to 500. then maybe a little bit over over over. today there's six chances to get to 500 in dc facing the floundering nationals, a team they obviously should beat. honest abe lincoln telling the fans right there, you know, i didn't chop down the cherry tree. that's an old wives

tie the modern record of 23 straight defeats. steph curry, steve kerr and team usa will face brazil in the olympic quarterfinals tomorrow. 1230 start california time. curry hasn't had a really a patented curry flurry. he's not shooting the ball all that well, but team usa is undefeated so far and their heavy gold medal favorites. so steph doesn't care that he hasn't had a big moment because gold is what really matters. >> you don't know from quarter to quarter, from game to game who is going to be. and yeah so it's a fun way to play if you're bought into like let's just win the basketball game after that, who cares what it looks like? it's easier said than done because we're all not used to that. >> the beauty of our team and the talent, the depth of our talent is that from one game to the next, we got lots of guys who have the ability to get rolling over land of the free
