11:06 pm
trying to become permanent residents or citizens. now officers are going from application reviewers to enforceers under the new directive. this updated policy equips uscis officers with clear guidance they need and deserve to support the enforcement priorities established by the president. >> instead of welcoming people, it is -- it's putting up the wall. i think the message is you're not welcome. >> reporter: immigration attorney amy miller worries about due process violations and immigrants being sent to deportation hearings for subjective infractions and noticed to appear for a deportation hearing did now be given in cases of fraud. criminal offenses, unlawfully living in the u.s. or if the person received public benefits. >> it creates more fear. community members might not be able to apply to fix their status. now there is that added layer of fear whether they can a fly for it or not. >> reporter: and if one of the officers decides to issue a notice to appear in court, the immigrant will get one pretty
11:07 pm
fast. maybe even by the end of their meeting. this directive is already in place. live in the newsroom lisa, abc7 news. >> lisa, thank you. the associated press has learned the u.s. army has started discharging immigrant recruits, cutting off their path to citizenship. immigration attorneys say at least 40 service members have been discharged or their status has become questionable. they need an honorable service designation to become u.s. citizens. >> a judge today rejected a request by the trump administration to block two california laws that protect illegal immigrants. the first requires the state to review detention facilities where immigrants are held. the second prevents local law enforcement from providing release dates and personal information on jail inmates. but the judge did put a third law on hold. he ruled california cannot prohibit employers from allowing immigration officials onto their premises without a warrant. >> travis air force base had this big july 4th drone show
11:08 pm
postponed because of heavy winds, but families didn't have to wait too long for a chance to see a dazzling spectacle tonight although there was a slight hiccough. abc7 news reporter carlos sal said owe live at travis air force base with how the show turned out. carlos. >> reporter: that's right, larry, there was a slight glitch. things didn't go exactly as planned. the drones hit the air, but then they had to come back down and be reset before they were relaunched 30 minutes after that. but once they were, it was a show to see. check out these images, 500 intel drones hit the night sky over travis air force base as hundreds of service members and their families watched. each drone equipped with its own bright light that can create 4 billion color combinations. and that's where we saw here tonight for this independence day theme. the drones formed many images like the american flag as well as firewors. the show was postponed or supposed to happen on july 4th, but because of the heavy winds, organizers had to delay the
11:09 pm
show. and tonight the weather was much more cooperative, but there was a slight glitch that required the drones to be reset. once they were relaunched, though, families enjoyed every second of it. >> oh, my god, it was so amazing. like, just the -- i mean, better than fireworks. it's so much better than fireworks because you have all the symbols, everything they showed. evoked feels, i was screaming out loud it was so great. >> reporter: and check it out. the drones are made of plastic and foam and each weigh only three quarters of a pound so super lightweight. this is the first time the base opened its gates for independence day event. having fireworks was not an option during these dry conditions. now, the show was a quick one, only lasted about five minutes. but a lot of families, a lot of the spectators here enjoyed every minute of it. they say it was like a fireworks show, just without the loud noise. so a lot more peaceful.

11:15 pm
his tail, he didn't quite make the runway. >> and more than two hours from a camera attached to san francisco fire battalion chief mark johnson's helmet, it captured the moment fire crews made a terrible mistake. >> my god. >> two of the massive aircraft rescue and fire fighting trucks rolled over 16-year-old passenger. >> she was already lying there. >> you could see -- you can see the tire tracks right there, too. >> [ bleep ] happens, you know? >> the san mateo coroner said she was alive before they ran her over. a time line of mistakes confirmed by ntsb documents. 11:28 a.m., the aircraft comes to a stop, chutes deploy, 11:36 she is in a fetal position. they assume she's dead without ever touching her or taking vital signs. they don't move her to safety or put up warning markers.
11:16 pm
they direct rescue time around her. they begin the flame and forget she's there. at 11:50 he drives the truck over her. 12:001, rescue 37 sprays the plane and departs, also rolling over her, crushing her head. it takes battalion chief mark johnson nearly two hours to tell the command staff what happened. >> somebody got run over. one of the passengers from the airplane, clearly one somebody from the fire department ran over her, without a doubt. >> next chief white. >> somebody was run over. >> is it one of the riggs now? >> no, this happened earlier. >> hayes white said she wants to see the body. >> is she crushed? >> her head, like someone dropped a pumpkin. >> hayes white orders the riggs to remain in place so the investigation can begin. >> a lot of the plane was on fire. >> yet at news conferences that same day? >> our crews made valiant efforts, were on the plane. >> and the next day she doesn't
11:17 pm
mention the terrible accident. >> it was a well coordinated effort. training totally pays off. >> in fact, hayes white takes it a step further. >> everything worked as best as it possibly could yesterday. >> everything worked as best as it possibly could have? was that accurate from what you knew? >> from what i knew, yes, it was. >> i questioned chief hayes white before a fire commission meeting last week and she defended not telling the public the whole story. >> so a fire truck running over a passenger is the best you could do? >> that was not confirmed at that time. it was -- >> your own men told you she was run over. >> it was reported and it is all part of an investigation at that time. >> only after those news conferences and repeated questions from reporters did the chief confirm the unthinkable. an airplane passenger run over by a fire truck. stanford political professor taught ethics. it is his opinion hayes white's actions were irresponsible. >> she was trying to cover up what was going on, trying to make a situation seem rosier
11:18 pm
than it really was. >> he tells me that could undermine people's faith in government. >> what she should have done at the very least is say there was an incident. we are investigating why it happened, and what our responsibility for this person's death was. >> i've talked to both current and former public officials and ethics professors who say this is a clear-cut case that you should have been up front with the public. >> and it's easy for them to stand there and say that when, again, everything was under investigation. >> the chief tells me she wanted to wait until the investigation confirmed what happened, even though she saw the victim's remains and the tire tracks. i reached out to that battalion chief who wore that camera on his helmet through the lawyer. he still works for the department but he did not return my phone calls. >> this raises a lot of questions. >> yeah, it does. five years later, you know. you wouldn't think you'd have more questions, but -- >> all parents, it's so sad.
11:19 pm
the girl who was run over was one of three chinese students, right? >> exactly right. >> and they were trying to study here. so sad. >> the video tells the story. great reporting. thank you. >> great job. >> all right. >> well, we transition to the weather now, little bit lighter topic. >> it's going to get hot and there are dangers associated with that as well. >> that's true, temperatures will be rising. here's a look at live doppler 7. high clouds moving sbolt bay area tonight, but despite that temperatures will be on the rise tomorrow. here's a live view from sutro tower looking out over san francisco. 61 degrees here in the city and across the bay in oakland. san jose and gilroy, 57 at half moon bay. here's a view from emeryville. we have clear skies, no fog. 57 now, santa rosa 59, napa. 60s novato, fairfield, concord, livermore. still mild this hour of the night. across the embarcadero from the rooftop, forecast futures, passing high clouds tonight and tomorrow. early next week it will be mild at the coast and hot inland this
