abc 7 news. thank you, amy. today we expect to hear details about a new lawsuit filed by the state of california against the trump administration. >> it comes down to one question proposed for the census. abc 7 news reporter matt keller live for us in san jose. matt? >> reporter: good morning, natasha and reggie. santa clara county leaders have been concerned about this question being added to the 2020 census. now that it's official state leaders are stepping up and filing a lawsuit against the trump administration to stop it from happening. the commerce department made the announcement last night it was adding the citizenship question to the 2020 census. officials say the data will help the justice department enforce the voting rights act which protects minority voting rights. opponents say the question will discourage immigrants from responding and cause a population under count. california attorney general javier becerra says the citizenship question is unconstitutional and would violate federal statutes.

santa clara county leaders were so concerned about a potential citizenship question they filed the freedom of information act requested in february. for more information how they plan to protect the privacy of the respondents. the census determines several things including political representation in congress and the distribution of federal money. today's press conference on the state's lawsuit is scheduled to start at 11:00 a.m. in sacramento. reporting live, matt keller, abc 7 news. thank you, matt. now uber back in the headlines. it had already pulled its autonomous cars off streets. now the governor is making sure they won't be back anytime soon. he is suspending the testin of driverless cars calling video of this crash that hit and killed a woman disturbing and alarming. he added that it was an unquestionable failure. sf gate reports uber had also disabled volvo's standard collision avoidance technology. an official who supplies volvo's radar and camera wanted to clear

look at these numbers we just got in a new poll by the associated press within public affairs research. he's still pretty unpopular with the majority of americans, 58% disapprove of the job he's doing. 42% now say that they approve of his job in the white house. that is up seven points from a month ago and this poll does suggest the rise is thanks to the good economy and the republican tax overhaul. back to you, reggie. thanks, jessica. planes flying into sfo will take a new flight path when landing. that starts thursday. the faa told "the santa cruz sentinel" the new path lets the pilot make a quieter descent and saves fuel. this will solve millions of noise complaints from bay area residents. a local businessman is accused of dumping thousands of gallons of raw sewage into a north bay community. a new problem for firefighters. how electric cars pose a special problem in a crash. good morning. you're never more than seven minutes away from my accuweather

we got a note from livermore police department that they are investigating a crash on isabel avenue. state route 84. that is a full closure at airway boulevard. so you're not going to be able to take that from 580 and vice ver versa. we'll look at drive times starting to climb in less than ten. alexis, thank you. speculation kim jong-un wrapped up an unprecedented trip to china. >> all because of heavy security surrounding a special train in beijing. north and south korea media have not been able to verify if kim is part of the convoy that accompanied the train. this would be his first trip to china. this is seen as a sign the north is hoping to secure support from china ahead of the meeting with south korea and a potential meeting with president trump. an app developed here in the bay area could be the future of classroom security. plus, we do have breaking news coming in to our live desk. a former supreme court justice now calling for the second amendment to be revealed. details on his argument just ahead. all right. and you're looking live at the big board of the new york stock exchange this morning.

matt? >> reporter: good morning, natasha and reggie. santa clara county leaders expressed their concerns about this potential question last month. now that it's official state leaders are stepping up and filing a lawsuit against the trump administration to stop it from happening. the commerce department made the announcement last night. officials say the data will help the justice department enforce the voting rights act which protects minority voting rights. california attorney general becerra announced the citizenship question is unconstitutional and would violate federal statutes. he says this is an attempt by the trump administration to hijack the census for political purposes. today's press conference on the state's lawsuit is scheduled to start at 11:00 a.m. in sacramento. reporting live in san jose, matt keller, abc 7 news. the future of classroom security could be an app on a teacher's phone. a palo alto-based company created the app called safeguard. it lets teachers send out an alert for emergency response and then it uses triangulation to

let officers track exactly where the emergency is. it guides them with maps. >> they're going to arrive with both hands on their guns. and so getting them this kind of information before they get there is groundbreaking to let them know where to go before they even get there. >> the wireless system can be installed at a school for about $5,000. it can be integrated can systems that lock down classroom doors and windows. the safeguard system has been installed at a san jose school in southern california, the northwest, and also the midwest. and as part of abc 7's take action campaign, a list of local resources on school safety. you can find your ally and connect with local lawmakers by going to abc7news.com/takeaction. breaking news and a bombshell article by "the new york times" released moments ago. a former supreme court justice backing the idea of getting rid

of the second amendment. and i want to zoom in here to the headline coming from -- i have to go back there. this is coming from former justice john paul stevens. the article he says he wants to repeal the second amendment and it was written by stevens himself, the recent march for our lives movement. he says the recent civic engagement by schoolchildren and their supporters demands respect. he says the concern that a national standing army might pose a threat to the security of individual states, that was the reason the second amendment was created and necessary and then he goes on in the article, which i'm having trouble here on my computer, but he says that, quote, today that concern is a relic of the 18th century. so, reggie, basically saying this is an antiquated idea. you can read more in "the new york times" just released. back to you. >> thank you for bringing that to us, jessica. the community of fisher mn's

wharf is hoping to get funding to improve the district. the fisherman's wharf district wants to spend $13 million to widen the sidewalks and add more lighting and railing. half of the money would come from the city, the other half the transit association. the district should find out if it's approved next month. fearly two-thirds of tourists in san francisco say, yeah, they did visit the wharf. now to your morning money report, california's wine industry will take a hit if china follows through on new tariffs. >> they include an extra 15% charge on wine. no word when that would take place. china's tariffs came after president trump announced his plan to impose taxes on $60 billion worth of chinese products. china is the fastest growing wine mark in the world. u.s. wine exports there have increased 450% in the past decade. let's take a live look at the

we'll have sunshine all day, building warmth. still a chill and no rain above average highs through the rest of the forecast. in fact, double trouble if you're looking for more rain and snow. these areas of high pressure will make sunshine the big winner and warmer temperatures from mid to upper 60s along the coast into san francisco. low 70s around the bay to low to mid-70s inland. if you're going to the game dress for 62. 6:05 first pitch and sunshine dropping down to 57 under the stars. we'll be in the mid-40s to about 50 tomorrow. a little bit milder for most of us than this morning. here's a look at my accuweather seven-day forecast. everyone was so excited about the 80s, they put them in for wednesday's forecast inland all the way through friday. mid-70s around the bay. near 70 at the coast wednesday through friday. a little bit cooler but, still, very nice through the weekend. hey, alexis, what are you looking at there? >> live to sky 7 right now, mike, live over the scene where we've had amy hollyfield reporting all morning. we have been able to confirm this is the end of a pursuit
