>> building a better bay area, moving forward, finding solutions. this is abc7news. ♪ >> up until this point, we've had a world without consequences. ama: fentanyl. dan: governor newsom deployed the chp to crack down on drug sales and trafficking. >> they have no shortage of buyers and they will sell every day until they run out. ama: look at results showing what the chp has done in its in the number of amounts made. dan: thank you for joining us.

what they found was enough to kill the entire population of san francisco nearly three times over. ama: liz kreutz is here with this tv news exclusive. you got a firsthand look at what the chp and national guard are doing. reporter: we are the first tv news team to see the chp in action as they patrol the tenderloin. while sfpd is focused on the hand-to-hand drug sales happening on sidewalks, chp is focused on cars and traffic on the street. they say drugs are being driven into san francisco from outside the city. from the numbers they've shown us, we are learning chp is seizing a lot. six weeks ago, the california highway patrol and national guard began their operation to crack down on fentanyl use in san francisco. abc7news is the first television news crew to ride along with chp as officers patrol the tenderloin. we went out with them on monday afternoon.

we are at the intersection of turk and polk street's. officers have pulled over a man suspected of drunk driving. they arrest him and pat down the two other passengers in the car, check the vehicle, and let the men go. this stop is part of the chp's enhanced presence in the tenderloin. accidental drug overdose deaths in san francisco have been going up. almost every week, there's more than the week before. a majority of those deaths are caused by fentanyl. roughly a third happened here in the tenderloin. that's why governor gavin newsom has deployed chp to the tenderloin. they now have anywhere from six to 10 officers patrolling the area daily. is it working? is been six weeks since the tenderloin crackdown. what are you seeing? >> pretty much what we came to do. we are stopping vehicles with hundreds of thousands of potentially lethal doses of fentanyl. reporter: since the start of the

operation on may 1, chp has seized over 4.2 kilos of fentanyl around the tenderloin. enough to potentially kill 2.1 million people, almost three times the population of san francisco. the chp has seized 957 grams of methamphetamine, 319 grams of cocaine, and 31 grams of heroin. the agency has made 92 arrests including on charges related to possession of fentanyl, a legal firearm possession, driving under the influence, and domestic violence. >> our focus is on traffic. we know that it has to get here somehow. if we have fentanyl coming into the city, it has to be delivered to san francisco somehow. very often that stunning vehicles. reporter: up on the 15th floor of the san francisco federal building, a behind-the-scenes operation made up of 30 different agencies is also underway. >> we've reached the tipping point in the city where the

number of deaths exceeded what anyone could stand anymore. reporter: mike is the executive director of the northern california high intensity drug trafficking area. the federal task force has 20 california national guard analysts led by major general matthew beaver's working with them to dismantle drug trafficking networks in the bay area. >> being able to understand the networks in such a way that we can give that information back to law-enforcement to make arrests. reporter: the challenges that there is so much fentanyl. >> it's to the point where the dealers, even if they lose pounds which is a lot of money, it's like nothing to them. reporter: drug dealers working in the tenderloin are mostly people originally from honduras, a majority of the fentanyl they are selling is manufactured and brought in from mexico. the people buying come from all over northern california and some from out of state. >> the good person are being arrested for purchasing in san francisco, not native san franciscans.

they are people from outside the area. we have to work with those communities as well. reporter: we asked tom wolf, a recovery advocate, if he's noticed an impact. >> there are some blocks in the tenderloin that are better. right? definitely i've seen the chp out there. they are primarily doing traffic stops for people in the neighborhood. i've also seen some of the drug markets shift now. reporter: overall, pretty good? what grade would you give so far? >> right? an incomplete. [laughter] it hasn't had enough time. reporter: the agencies acknowledge six weeks is just the beginning. they say their efforts are far from over. >> we will be here for as long as it takes. so that's my commitment. reporter: what's your message to drug dealers in the tenderloin? >> it's this. you might not see uniformed

national guard soldiers on your streets but know this, we are behind-the-scenes. we will figure out who you are, who your bosses are, who launders your money, and who gives you your drugs to sell in the city. we will come after you and get you. reporter: also knew tonight, the governor's office says more agencies are joining this operation including alcoholic beverage control and caltrans. those agencies will deploy additional resources to address things like loitering and graffiti. critics of this operation say this could lead to another war on drugs, which would disproportionately impact people of color. supporters like the mayor and district attorney feel like the city has reached a tipping point. hundreds of people are dying every year and something has to change. ama: are the chp officers only in the tenderloin? is there an end state? reporter: a lot of people are saying, how long will will -- will they be here.

what we understand is that there isn't any specific date they are going to end. it will be up to the governor to decide how long the chp stay there. right now, it is just the tenderloin. as you heard, he is seeing drug deals shift to other parts. we asked chp and they said they will continue to reevaluate, perhaps shift to new areas as needed. dan: you are going to chase them around the city as you enforce in one area. reporter: right. ama: all right. that was incredible. great piece. dan: can't believe liz has been hard at work covering this issue. it's an issue that is far from over. this entire tv news exclusive just went live on a website. find all of our reporting at abc7news. ama: a fire at facility in san jose is contained but still smoldering.

we have new details about how when unfolded. video captured explosions after the fire broke out. and caudal roads. dustin dorsey lives not far from there and says there were half dollar size pieces of ash falling in his backyard. neighbors closer to the fires say the explosions shook their homes. >> i heard this big explosion that shook our whole house. my cat totally freaked out. running all over the place. my husband went outside and goes, all my god look at that. there was a big plume of smoke. at first, my neighbors thought it was the power plant but then i started hearing all this noise. ama: roads nearby were closed. traffic was delayed. causes under investigation. dan: let's move now to that gut punch for a's fans coming from

the nevada state legislature this evening. it approved funding for a ballpark in las vegas and the bill is headed to the state governor who is expected to sign it. ama: the next major hurdle would be approval by major league baseball's owners. the oakland mayor released a statement tonight that reads in part, the a's have been part of oakland for more than half a century. they belong in the city. if the a's current ownership wants to move to las vegas, they should seek an expansion team and leave the a's in oakland. dan: larry beil and casey pratt are here to talk about the future of baseball in oakland. larry: as bleak as it feels for oakland a's fans, we are still a long way away from a shovel in the ground. a vote in nevada doesn't necessarily mean construction is ready to begin. it feels like giants 1992 when they were on their way to tampa bay, we thought, until they weren't because of local groups. >> if you look at this situation, it reminds me of the

sacrament of kings situation. i remember broadcasters crying on the air. it was the last game in the history of the second of kings. here they are still in sacramento, brand-new arena, things are going great. this situation could be remedied if john fisher decides to sell, do what the fans want, let a local group by the rights to the a's. then he takes that money to las vegas, uses that money to build an expansion baseball team and the a's don't have to play in a temporary park. they could stay in oakland and let john fisher have all the team he needs to get las vegas baseball up and running. larry: this is diving into the fine print. the bill that will be signed by the governor in nevada does not mention the a's. it could be an expansion team. they are not in the bill. >> this is a bill for major league baseball in las vegas. up until a recent amendment, it didn't even specify a site. there was a lot of wiggle room in the deal. we will see where this goes. larry: this is more of a hail mary here.

i am mixing the metaphors. a couple of local congress members have talked about looking into baseball's antitrust exemption. any time team owners here antitrust, ono, they get queasy. >> i think they have ason to be queasy. listen to this quote from rob manfred. the pal utility of the exemio that allows us to be more aggressive than o leagues in terms of preventing franchise location. -- relocation. it's a fan friendly doctrine in the law. nothing about this current situation is fan friendly. larry: definitely not in oakland. to be continued. ama: all right. thank you. as you can see, we are committed to covering all things a's especially as this move out of oakland plays out. make sure to be the first to know as this develops with the abc 7 bay area news app. enable the apt notifications. dan: tonight, san francisco

police have arrested a man in connection with last friday's mass shooting and the mission district. police telling us they took javier campos into custody tonight. they say he had several warrants out for his arrest from multiple bay area agencies. friday's shooting broke out near the corner of 24th, entering nine -- entering nine people. ama: a bus full of migrants arrives in california but who sent them here? a new twist tonight. dan: the show is over at cinemark. the theater at the mall is moving out. what it means for the future of the movies. ama: a true underdog story at the u.s. open. meet the man teeing off on thursday. he still has his day job.

dan: a bus of migrants has arrived in california. this time from texas governor greg abbott. tim johns is in the newsroom with the latest on the story. reporter: people at home might remember that the first two buses of migrants were sent by florida governor ron desantis to sacramento earlier this month. today, rob bonta issued a public records request as a part of an investigation he launched in response to those incidents. community leaders are demanding he do the same with governor abbott in texas. the migrants were dropped off this evening at downtown l.a.'s union station. abbott staying that his state's small border terms remain overwhelmed by thousands of people illegally crossing into texas, many from south america. los angeles isn't the first city that he has sent migrants to. new york, chicago, and philadelphia have had buses arrive in recent months. many immigrant rights groups

have condemned the actions. >> that what makes all of this incredibly disgusting to see. that a group of people that wanted to come to this country for a better tomorrow are essentially misled and shipped off and told that they are someone else's problem. reporter: in response to arrival, governor newsom's office released a statement that reads, contrary to what some may want to think california is also a border state. instead of demonizing asylum-seekers, we focus on working with local communities to support and humanely welcome people. regarding the recently arrived families, the state is in close communication with the county and city of los angeles and our community partners. nonprofits and religious organizations were on hand in a latent assist those in need. karen bass says they have plans in place if more are to arrive. tim johns, abc 7 news. dan: thank you. in the east bay, lithium batteries are being blamed for three recent fires.

this one ignited yesterday at a home on m's record. investigators believe a lithium battery sparked a second fire yesterday and another nine days ago. both of those were in antioch. the items involved in these fires were in a bike, a remote control car, and a cordless vacuum cleaner. the fire department has safety tips to help us prevent lithium battery fires. >> we are suggesting that people do an inventory of the rechargeable batteries that are throughout their home. step number two is to move them especially the charging operations, to the safest place you can. dan: those safe places include a garage or a building outside of your house. ama: some -- will have its final showings tomorrow. dan: it might look for another -- like another blackeye for the city. experts say it might be a sign

of a much larger issue. reporter:reporter: reporter:. -- reporter: better get your popcorn. these will be some of the last at the westfield san francisco. >> i feel disappointing -- disappointed. this is one of our favorite places to be. reporter: they spent all day wednesday shopping. they are movie diehards and learned that in addition to this nordstrom closing and westfield no longer running the san francisco mall between market and mission, cinemark will soon stop showing movies after thursday. >> i noticed that they don't upkeep it. it was really dirty when i went in there. i went on a saturday night and it was empty. reporter: some made references to safety concerns outside the mall but ucla professor gabriel ross says this is a bigger issue.

>> there's a general trend for movie theaters. it's nationwide. i would say that has less to do with how many homeless people are on the street outside the movie theater. i don't need to go to the movies because if i wait a month and a half, i can watch on disney plus. reporter: the number of screens in the country is down 5% since pre-covid peak. saying streaming services will likely not be as strong going forward as hollywood tries to rebound. >> so if you have closed because box office is down much more than the number of screens. in the long run, that's not sustainable. reporter: cinemark blames the closure on local business conditions. they admit that while they love the movies, it's just not as practical. >> the convenience of people being at home is much more comfortable now. reporter: j.r. stone, abc 7 news. dan: there is something neat about that shared experience and

going to the movies. and the popcorn. things are changing. ama: let's get a check on our weather. dan: sandhya patel is here with the forecast. sandhya: it will be so beautiful. grab the popcorn. let me show you alive picture from our exploratorium camera. notice the murkiness. beautiful view of salesforce tower all lit up for pride. i do want to show you tower cameras. golden gate bridge is murky as we do have some fog tonight. emeryville camera, you can see the gray skies. san jose not bad in terms of visibility but the focus is on the exploratorium camera. let's take a look at why we are seeing the changes in our weather. live doppler 7 will show you some fog near the coast and over parts of the bay. what's happening with this fog layer is that it's compressing. even though it was deep yesterday and we saw the cooler than average conditions, tonight

and if you are pregnant, breastfeeding, or considering pregnancy. some of the most common side effects include injection-site reactions, fever, and tiredness. if you switch to cabenuva, attend all treatment appointments. it feels good to just live in the moment. with every-other-month cabenuva, i'm good to go. ask your doctor about cabenuva today. there are currently more than 750,000 unfilled cybersecurity jobs in the u.s. the google cybersecurity certificate was made to fill that gap and help grow the workforce
