4:13 pm
constitution. your refusal to apprehend and deport those, especially the criminal element effectively rejects all immigration law. it's a rejection of law. >> that was attorney general jeff sessions this morning in sacramento. there was so much rhetoric in the immigration sanctuary debate. we're going to try to cut through all of that right now. our guest is usf law professor bill hain, as well as a member of the police commission, so well qualified on both sides of this issue. let's start with the law here, this sounds like a case that's going to go all the way to the supreme court, but how long might that take? >> reporter: well the process start to finish in filing a lawsuit and going through trial and then going to the court of appeals and then ending up in the supreme court if that, would probably take at least three to four years. >> with appeals all along the way, correct?
4:14 pm
>> absolutely. this is not something that's going to be resolved overnight. >> all right, bill, police in sanctuary cities say they need these laws protecting undocumented immigrants because crime would go up and arrests would go down in those communities if people are fearful, they may get deported for reporting a crime or testifying. based on your experience with the san francisco police commission, do you feel that's a valid case? >> absolutely. san francisco police chief and police chiefs across the country understand that when immigrants are in fear, they don't report being victims of crime or being witnesses of crime. and we saw that actually a year ago when the trump administration first announced that it was going to start conducting sweeps and raids, reporting of crimes actually went down in certain communities and certain zip codes and so pit's a legitimate concern on te part of the police. >> do you see a compromise
4:15 pm
anywhere here where, yes, we detain and deport undocumented immigrants who commit crimes, but we're still able to protect those people who are law abiding citizens with jobs, who are paying their taxes. in some cases, we have seen people who have served in our military, fought for our country and still get deported. how do we get a compromise? >> i think the governor really did try to work out a compromise. he actually was not happy with the original version of what's called s.b. 54, which is what mr. sessions is going to challenge the so-called state sanctuary ordinance. the first version of that did not have carveouts that satisfied the governor. those carveouts somebody's been convicted of very serious violent crimes, those folks actually will be turned over to i.c.e. so that was a very difficult debate that went on, a similar
4:16 pm
kind of debate went on in san francisco when mayor ed lee was alive and two or the sanctuary ordinance was modified. this is not about letting somebody out on the street with a proven track record of being a violent criminal, that's not what's going to happen under these laws. >> short answer because we're up against the clock here, but we're asking our viewers who do you think is going to win this case. you have more expertise than the rest of us. how do you it plays out ultimately? >> ultimately the sanctuary ordinances will be upheld. this is not about regulating immigrants, it's about public safety. >> professor, thanks very much for your time. >> some great perspective there especially from him and his point of view and when we take a look at how everyone is voting at abc7news.com, you can see the
4:17 pm
percentage is staying the same here, just about half of who will win this lawsuit, people saying the federal government, 48%, and people who say the state will win, 52%. >> it's very complicated. >> so much debate. >> but we're going to continue to take your votes and monitor them and show them all the way through our newscast tonight at 6:00 p.m. shifting gears now, it looks like adult film star stormy daniels says she wants to set the record straight about the relationship she had with president trump in 2006. the suit claims the agreement is not binding because mr. trump never actually signed it. daniels attorney says there is no question the president knew about this agreement. >> the idea that an attorney would go off on his own, without his client's knowledge and engage in this type of
4:18 pm
negotiation and enter into this type of agreement quite honestly i think is ludicrous. >> michael cohen paid stormy daniels $130,000. today the white house denied the claim against the president and claimed the case had already been won in ash strags. nancy pelosi donated some items to the smithsonian national museum of history today. she handed over her burgundy dress she wore when she received her gavel as speaker of the house. pelosi says she was humbled that her colleagues had the courage to elect her as speaker. >> we need the voices of all women, we need their courage and their strength, because when women succeed, america succeeds.
4:19 pm

4:21 pm
showers and the best chance of this moisture is really going to be in the north bay and around the coast. minimal if anything would fall in the south bay, if this storm system just fall it apart as it crosses the region. 8:00 later on tonight, showers very light in nature, just beginning to fall around santa rosa. as we advance the clock towards 11: 11:00. you notice the showers still light in the north bay and beginning to approach the coast and parts of san francisco. and then overnight, as that front moves through, it just really falls apart. you see the moisture just evaporate, the cloud cover stays in place, and we will have a dry commute tomorrow morning. in terms of total rain with this storm system, very light in nature. future track of rainfall shows the highest amount will be in the north bay, generally less than a quarter-inch. but you look inland, likely ending up with nothing out of this system. so your 12-hour planner, a lot of cloud cover early on, you're dry in the morning and more sunshine by the afternoon, and
4:22 pm
once again, temperatures will be on the mild side with most spots in the 60s. 68 in concord, going for a high of 70 in san jose, 64 the high in santa rosa. the accuweather 7-day forecast, we'll show you morning clouds will sweep out to sunshine tomorrow afternoon. friday will be mainly dry, there is a chance at night there could be a shower in the south bay. but the best chance for everybody will come on saturday night, a system that's a 1 on the storm impact scale. those mild temperatures hang around until early next week and then another chance of rain. the man accused of francis mcdermocdermott's oscar statue.
