5:01 pm
investigation. the first she heard of it was when they executed the search warrant at 530 in the morning. our cameras were there yesterday as federal investigators took several boxes and bins out of the mayor's house. her lawyer says he doesn't know what's inside those boxes. the mayor's home is one of four locations we've learned that was searched by the fbi, irs, and the united states postal inspection. several of the other properties are linked to the owners of a recycling company that contracts with the city. but brass says he doesn't believe the mayor is the target of the search. the target of the search warrant was the residence , not her. mayor tao has not been seen in public since the search on her home. we went to her office today to see if she had returned, but found nothing. the mayor's lawyers say she's still in the bay area. when i asked when she would be back to work. it depends on on how distracting the attention this generates for her opponents and things like that. i mean, she wants to get back to oakland and get back to being a visible mayor. meanwhile, the city says

5:06 pm
for many musicians as a tool, as a stream of income. you know, source of revenue, a way of living. george says he filed a police report. friends have opened a gofundme account to buy him a new trumpet. right now, he is using a replacement and hoping someone will do the right thing and return his original no guns for domestic abuse suspects that is the ruling from the conservative supreme court today. the ruling favors gun safety advocates and upholds a law that prevents domestic abusers from having a gun. nbc's drew walder has the story from washington, d.c. in a resounding 8 to 1 decision today, the supreme court's conservative majority could be signaling that some long standing gun laws are likely to survive future tests by upholding a law that prevents people with a domestic violence restraining order from having a gun. today's ruling maintains the status quo on a gun safety law that advocates say saves lives. this is a huge relief for
5:07 pm
women, for kids in this country. it's a big win for common sense, gun safety and the vast majority of americans across party lines agree wholeheartedly. at issue, a case from texas where a woman got a restraining order against her partner after reporting he knocked her to the ground, dragged her into his car and threatened to kill her. the man later sentenced to six years in prison, filed a lawsuit arguing that the federal law stripping away his gun rights was a violation of his second amendment rights. the supreme court disagreed. in his majority opinion, chief justice john roberts said, quote, since the founding, our nation's firearm laws have included provisions preventing individuals who threaten physical harm to others from misusing firearms. in the only dissenting ruling, justice clarence thomas said this ruling is a direct attack on the second amendment by restricting the rights of some people, the story is not really over. steve descano is a progressive prosecutor in northern virginia. he applauds the court's ruling today, but says it's opened the door to potentially change or
5:08 pm
scale back other gun safety laws. there are some things in there that leaves questions as to whether the red flag law that a lot of states have, whether that can survive total scrutiny. while gun safety advocates applaud today's ruling, it does signal deep divisions between justices on gun laws with more high profile gun safety cases anticipated in the next couple of years. the white house issued a statement today, and president biden said that survivors of domestic violence will still be able to count on protections just like they have for the past three decades, reporting in washington drew wilder, nbc news. neighbors don't want them there, so the city cleared them out. but some unhoused in san jose say they don't know where else to go, so they keep coming back. neighbors took their concerns to nbc bay area, and we took those concerns to the mayor. nbc bay area's damian trujillo is on rose avenue in east san jose looking for solutions. neighbors tell me they're beyond frustrated. they tell me they've been complaining to the city for months and feel their complaints have fallen on deaf ears. this was the scene on
5:09 pm
rose avenue a week ago. crews were clearing out a line of cars occupied by the unhoused. this is rose avenue today. they're back. they kicked you out and you came back. see rito flores says he has nowhere else to go after his family left him. but his return, along with the other unhoused people, has angered and frustrated neighbors. they say children are afraid to walk on the sidewalk. some families don't even want their kids playing on their own front yard. this mom didn't want to show her face for fear of retaliation, but says some in these vehicles are outright dangerous. it's just scary, you know, because like, it's one of the people over there. they got pulled over and they pulled out hammers out of the backpack and drugs, and they arrested them. today we took their concerns to the mayor. i'm very concerneabout it. the church and the neighborhood has a prehool attached to it. the neighbors are dealing with encampment s that we abate and that come back. the mayor says abatement
5:10 pm
isn't the cure all, and the city needs to do more in providing decent shelter and services for those living on the streets. but he adds that the unhoused have to do their part as well. by going into those shelters or treatment facilities. if oer beds aren't available, should not be a choice or an option to simply go camp wherever you like. in the city. some in the neighborhood say street sweeping days are also a big issue. very unfair. we get a $60 ticket, me and my neighbor if we don't move our cars, but then these cars have been sitting there for almo a year and nothing. so our policy in dot is to treat all vehicles equally, whether they are lived in or not. so parking violations nd to becitee accountable. after we spoke with the mayo a cypector showed up on rose avenue to document the neighborhood co a everyone hunts for new solutions. these will continue to follow the story in san jose. damian trujillo, nbc, bay area news.till ahead, as we get closer to the start of
