more than 1500 people. this includes people convicted of violently assaulting police officers. trump is also having the attorney general look into getting charges dismissed for 450 defendants, with cases still pending. >> this all could impact several people from the bay area, allegedly at the january 6th attacks. daniel goldwyn was charged with entering and remaining in a restricted building. frank giorgi junior was arrested just a week ago, and evan newman, who was charged with assaulting officers, is currently in belarus. on the phone with abc seven news tonight, he says he regrets being at the capitol that day and is not yet sure what his next legal steps are. >> local lawmakers who investigated the attack are sharing shock and disgust about this tonight. east bay representative eric swalwell compared trump to the joker. south bay representative zoe lofgren said, quote, that trump's january 6th pardons extend to some of the worst, most violent criminals that day is truly horrible. lufkin received a pardon herself today.

one of the last issued by now former president biden. she, along with california senator adam schiff, received preemptive pardons for their role on the house committee that investigated the capitol attack. the committee said that they were pardoned, quote, not for breaking the law, but for upholding it. >> and we will get to the new president's other executive orders and their impact on the bay area in just a moment. the president is still celebrating tonight, attending three post-inauguration balls held across d.c. i've had no higher privilege in life than to serve as your commander in chief, not once, but twice. >> weather moved all of today's events indoors, from the swearing in inside the capitol rotunda to a rally at capital one arena and a series of signings in the oval office. >> and the tech industry was front and center at these events today. a who's who of tech leaders, from elon musk to mark zuckerberg and the head of tiktok in the room in the capitol for the inauguration. abc seven news reporter lauren

reportedly has office space in a complex next door to the white house, and sources tell abc news musk is also likely to get a west wing office space. we spoke with former chairman of the santa clara county republican party, currently in d.c. that did not go unnoticed. >> i heard people uh- with the group that i was with not, you know, not many of them are from silicon valley, but they know the importance of technology to our strength as a country and to our future. >> shayne patrick connolly said even where they sat on the dais just behind the trump family, represented an important message of coming together. >> inaugurations are for all of us as americans. they represent good things about america. when we can come together and celebrate the transition from one president to the next. and i think that's important to the creative sector that technology is. >> even though patrick connolly's trip has been cold, it's been a memorable one.

>> well, it was exciting to be here for this moment in history, a unique time. and i think this time he really hits the ground running. he knows how the system works in the south bay. >> lauren martinez, abc seven news. >> the president signed dozens of executive actions today, including many sweeping policies that may impact life here in california. his actions on climate change removed the u.s. from a worldwide treaty and doubled down on fossil fuels. he signed an order saying the federal government would only recognize two sexes, male and female. a decision with wide reaching implications for transgender people. and he moved to leave the world health organization, something he set out to do in 2020. another order delays enforcement of a law banning tiktok. trump still wants bytedance to sell tiktok to an american company, he says. tonight, 75 day reprieve will give tiktok more time to find a buyer. last year, then president biden signed legislation passed by congress that banned tiktok because of national security concerns. the law briefly went

into effect over the weekend, causing tiktok to go dark for several hours. >> tonight, the aclu is suing in response to another of president trump's executive orders aimed at ending birthright citizenship. that's the current policy. that means anyone born in the u.s. is automatically a citizen, regardless of their parents immigration status. the aclu argues trump's order violates the 14th amendment, and california attorney general rob bonta agrees and has planned a news conference for tomorrow morning. just in town south bay activists held a protest in response to the new trump administration plans to overhaul immigration policy and enforcement. trump also signed orders declaring a national emergency on the u. s. mexico border and suspending refugee resettlement. >> we are deeply concerned about the deportation policies and impact they have on our immigrant families, like the ones we serve here in east san jose and beyond. these policies

strip away the dignity and humanity of those who seek safety and opportunity in our country. >> the san jose city council plans to vote next month on whether to strengthen protections for immigrant families threatened by deportation. >> trump is entering office at a time of tension and hope in the middle east. the cease fire deal between israel and hamas has just begun. tonight, family members of people held hostage by hamas stood behind the president during his remarks at capital one arena. in that same event, trump adviser elon musk raised eyebrows for a gesture some are comparing to a nazi salute. abc seven news reporter tim johns explains this one really mattered. >> elon musk setting off a firestorm monday after the world's richest man made a gesture during a post-inauguration rally. musk, who made the gesture twice, is facing heavy criticism after many online compared his arm movement to a nazi salute. >> well, it certainly looked bad. i can't speculate to what his intent was, and i think it's

important to separate intent versus impact here. >> tyler gregory is the ceo of the jewish community relations council in san francisco. he believes it's critically important for musk to clarify his actions. >> it looks really bad to a lot of us in the jewish community, and it was being celebrated by white nationalist groups. >> musk pushed back later monday on x, calling the criticism dirty tricks. all of this comes at a time of heightened anxiety for many in the jewish community, since israel's war with hamas began in october of 2023, there's been an exponential rise in anti-semitic incidents both around the country and here in the bay area. we have seen graffiti and fliers proclaiming kill the jews and hitler was right. deputy director for the american jewish committee, theresa drenik says while anti-semitism began rising during the first trump administration, the recent rise is unlike anything we've seen in decades. drenik says it's up to everyone to stand up to anti-semitism, whether it's coming from the far left or the

far right. >> it's going to take an all of community response. it can't just fall to the jewish community to combat anti-semitism. we need everybody to stand up and be an ally. >> trump included family members of israeli hostages at his post-inauguration rally. it comes after a ceasefire deal went into effect sunday. earlier, he vowed to continue working to resolve conflicts in the middle east. >> my proudest legacy will be that of a peacemaker and unifier. that's what i want to be a peacemaker and a unifier. i'm pleased to say that as of yesterday, one day before i assumed office, the hostages in the middle east are coming back home to their families in san francisco. >> tim johns, abc seven news now former president joe biden and vice president kamala harris are both in california. >> they landed in the golden state this afternoon following president trump's inauguration, which they both attended. harrison harris is in los

angeles visiting people affected by the wildfires, and the bidens are vacationing in santa ynez. >> and there was a lot to keep track of from this inauguration day. head to abc7 news.com for a full recap of how the president carried out his day one agenda and what his policies mean for the bay area. >> more to come on this very busy monday. a driver under arrest in a deadly chain reaction crash. witnesses tell us they knew this would be bad before they even saw the carnage on san francisco streets. >> plus, fire and water on the california coast. how health leaders are watching for warning signs after this raging battery fire. >> i'm spencer christian. get ready for more chilling frosty weather overnight. i'll have the accuweather forecast. >> all right. all of that coming up. but first here's a look at what's ahead tonight on jimmy kimmel live! right after abc seven news at 11 jimmy thanks, dan and ama. >> let's stay up and never go to sleep again. ever, ever. >> ever ever. diddle diddle

get even colder overnight. a frost advisory will be in effect from 1 a.m. to 9 a.m. tomorrow for the north bay interior valleys, the east bay valleys, and the santa clara valley and the eastern santa clara hills that will be in effect until 9 a.m. tomorrow. temperatures dropping as low as 31 degrees in the coldest spots. and of course, frost will form and may damage sensitive plants. right now we're looking at temperature readings of 52 here in san francisco, 48 at oakland, hayward 4344, san jose, 4341. redwood city at 43 and half moon bay looking down onto parts of san francisco from mount tam. a nice clear view at this hour. temperatures are in the 30s over much of the bay area right now. 37 santa rosa, mid 30s at petaluma, napa, fairfield, 43 at concord and 40 at livermore. let's check out our forecast headlines overnight. it will be cold again. once again. frost advisory in effect for parts of the bay area tomorrow. it will be sunny and mild with lighter wind than we had today and then wednesday through friday look for a nice warm up under sunny skies. temperatures will bounce up about four or 5 or 6 degrees from today's highs. overnight,
