transgender members of the military. i had a four year old crying, fearing deportation. that is not making america great again. >> new fears about deportation raids. >> and a smash and grab at a cigarette store all caught on camera. good afternoon, i'm kristen sze. >> and i'm dan ashley. thanks for joining us. any minute now, president trump is expected to sign a slew of executive orders affecting the military. one will ban transgender people from will serving in the military. >> abc seven news political reporter monica madden is tracking these developments. monica, this is not the first time trump has tried to restrict transgender people from armed services. >> no, it is not. many will remember president trump implemented this in 2019 during his first term, requiring transgender service members to serve in line with their biological sex unless they had already successfully transitioned. it's a policy some lgbtq advocates in the bay area say is not only discriminatory,

but will hurt the military. tonight, president donald trump is taking aim at transgender americans. a new executive order is banning transgenders from serving in the military and ending the use of pronouns in the department of defense. it also requires the dod to update medical standards to ensure that they prioritize readiness and lethality. >> it will henceforth be the official policy of the united states government that there are only two genders, male and female. >> it's part of trump's campaign promises to end what he calls social engineering of genders. under the biden administration, transgender people were allowed to enlist and access related medical care. >> rebuild our military. >> trump's newly confirmed defense secretary, pete hegseth, has criticized that, writing in his book, quote, this change to the standards meant that men and women could join the military for the express purpose of transitioning, being non-deployable for a year and take life altering hormone therapy. that would mean they

would be non-deployable unless the military could guarantee the supply of medication. >> the transgender community is has been attacked left, right and center for a very long time. >> while frustrated local lgbtq advocates like gabrielle antzelevitch say, if anything, less diversity will hurt the military. >> all of the trans folks that i know are very high up in techt i companies and engineers. that's how people usually go into the military. they're not lining up to go to war. >> urging members of their community to stay strong. >> don't give up because, you know, executive orders come and go. but we don't. we are here. >> it's unclear how many military members this will affect since the last u.s. census did not collect data about transgender americans, it's really difficult to know for certain just how many people this will impact. a 2016 study

from the rand corporation concluded that at a minimum, there could be around 2000, and at a maximum, almost 11,000 transgender people serving in the u.s. military and reserves. dan. kristen. >> monica. thank you. for the first time in american history, u.s. military planes are being used to deport undocumented immigrants. the defense department released these images of people being led onto a c-17 air force jet at fort bliss in texas, bound for guatemala. over the weekend. >> we helped move forward. troops put in more barriers and also to ensure mass deportations. >> immigration crackdowns are happening from coast to coast, including here in the bay area. officials confirm ice, alongside dea agents, are conducting what's called enhanced targeted operations. >> u.s. immigration and customs enforcement officials have been in san jose performing deportation operations. that's according to the rapid response network of santa clara county. >> this comes a week after

president trump announced mass deportations. abc seven news south bay reporter dustin dorsey spoke with community leaders who say the worries are just growing. >> fear of mass deportation by the trump administration is growing throughout the large immigrant population n east san jose, because what was once thought of as just a threat is becoming closer to reality. >> it's really, really uncertain, you know, uncertain. so i can just imagine i have my green card, right? thank god i have the privilege and i'm feeling like, god, what's going to happen now? you can imagine, like my people that don't have nothing, you know, they might be terrified. >> there have been multiple confirmed sightings of u.s. immigration and customs enforcement officials conducting deportation operations sunday. ice was at a residence near south white and tully roads, as well as in front of this target at story and king roads, then again monday morning along west capitol avenue and near alum rock and south jackson avenue. council member peter ortiz shared these pictures with us. taken in the district that he represents. >> the community is on edge due

to, you know, who our new president is. and now we know that with his mass deportation strategy that is now getting started, we're going to see more of this. and we're we're hoping that this isn't the new normal, but the goal right now is to be prepared. >> and one way to do that is through the santa clara county rapid response network. the community can report ice activity, and a group of responders worked to confirm it. council member ortiz was among those falling ice sunday and monday. >> to film and to document, not to interrupt. right. you can't stop any sort of arrest or detainment, but just to document for educational purposes, for the community. and in case there is any sort of abuse that is conducted. >> the network confirms there was an arrest and adds the focus of ice remains on individuals with existing deportation orders. but rapid response. brian mendoza says this has the community on edge. >> i have community members calling me should i take my kid to school? should i not take my kid to school? what should i do? you know, so we're just telling them to use the trainings that

they have and to be vigilant and to just act normal. >> in east san jose. dustin dorsey, abc seven news. >> the cdc has been ordered to stop working with the world health organization, effective immediately. experts say this could set back efforts to stop virus outbreaks like mpox in africa. it also comes as health authorities around the world monitor bird flu outbreaks among livestock in the united states. last week, president trump issued an executive to withdraw the u.s. from the w.h.o. however, leaving the organization requires approval from congress, as well as a one year notice period. many more changes happening in the trump administration. we're keeping track of the first 100 days very closely. you can as well at abc seven news.com and on the abc seven bay area app. >> vallejo police will get much needed help from the california highway patrol to confront out-of-control sideshows and reckless driving. the agency announced they will get reinforcements from the state to crack down on rampant traffic

stunts. chp officers will join forces with local police during weekend evenings. this comes after vallejo residents petitioned governor newsom to send in state officers to help its understaffed police force. happening tomorrow, the city council for millbrae will hold a vote of no confidence in the san mateo county sheriff. this all stems from a report by the independent investigator that says the sheriff has abused her power while in office, had an inappropriate relationship with her chief of staff, and sent out racist and homophobic text messages. sheriff christina corpus denies those allegations. the city of san carlos and san mateo county both previously cast votes of no confidence. >> the owner of a small business in san francisco is really at his wit's end, after cars were used to drive through the front door to burglarize the shop. four times in the past six months. but the most recent incident is leaving him and others asking could police have done more? here's abc seven news anchor dion lim. she went to the

san francisco police for answers. >> not safe. it's horrible. >> bars on the windows and boarded up doors. cigarettes cheaper at 17th. and geary is no stranger to mass theft. >> i think a car has driven through this guy's front door probably 5 to 6 times. >> the most recent seen in this surveillance video, when a car drove into the building early wednesday morning and multiple suspects allegedly made off with 20 to $30,000 in cigarettes. neighbors say they've seen it all. >> i don't feel safe here, and i work here. >> this is the fourth time in six months the shop has been targeted, despite nearly 20 security cameras and installation of a new bollard to prevent cars from driving in and security gates. >> it sucks, and i don't think he has insurance anymore. >> but what frustrates this shop the most? how sfpd can be seen arriving at the scene, two officers with guns drawn and the suspects leaving a trail of cigarette cartons behind. get away. >> you know, i don't feel like the cops are protecting them. i don't feel like the cops. take

it serious. i don't feel like nothing is being done. >> the owner of the store didn't want to go on camera, citing safety concerns and frustrations that after speaking out time and time again about the thefts, he says nothing ever changes. i reached out to sfpd and here's what they had to say. >> there was no pursuit in this case because the responding officers that was a single unit had to remain on scene and secure this place of business. those officers had to stay and make sure that that location was secure, that there weren't any other occupants inside that business, and more importantly, no victims that were injured in that location. >> despite the reasoning, the owner of cigarettes cheaper isn't buying it. he and those in the area can agree the crime needs to end. >> it's a bummer. >> in san francisco. dion lim, abc seven news. >> turning now to the weather. we've been waiting for a while. some rain is actually on the way. >> which we have enjoyed this sunshine, spencer. but we do

need the rain. >> i know our mornings have been so cold. do you think it might snow here? but that's not going to happen. so here's a look at what's coming our way. the long term futurecast starting thursday evening, notice that big mass of rain pushing into the pacific northwest and into northern california later this week, and some of it will begin to reach into the bay area as early as friday. now, it may be mainly a north bay event for us, but some measurable rain will fall here friday and into saturday. notice as we get into sunday, we'll see that system lifting northward a bit, but it could drop back down again and bring more rain on monday. but right now it's hard to be very precise about rainfall totals this early in the forecast period. but looking ahead for this weekend, we're talking about maybe a few hundredths of an inch of rainfall in places like santa rosa and yountville. but look at what we expect north of the bay area. these areas from fort bragg, from ukiah to fort bragg to eureka, are going to get drenched with heavy rainfall, 2 to 4 or even more inches of rain there. and

of course, we get some some much needed rainfall here in the bay area. now, before that happens, it's going to be cold in the mornings. i'll show you our frost and freeze alerts a little bit later. >> kristin spencer. thank you. unusually high levels of microscopic heavy metal particles have been found in the central coast's elkhorn slough following a big fire at a moss landing battery storage plant. that's according to san jose state marine lab researchers. field surveys found a dramatic increase of three toxic heavy metals in the marsh soil. here's what they found. >> metallic spheres, about in size, about 1 to 10 microns microns, which are were made of manganese, cobalt and nickel and are clearly a cathode material coming from a battery. and the association with the battery fire is straightforward. >> doctor iolas says the particles might be present elsewhere in monterey bay. the slough is an ecologically

sensitive area, home to california's endangered sea lion population. researchers have notified monterey county officials the fire at the vistra power plant sent plumes of smoke over the whole region. >> a lot more coming here this monday. first fire, now rain. the risk of mudslides and toxic runoff in the aftermath of the southern california firestorms. also a rare type of bird flu found in california. and the fight to save sports at sonoma state university is getting some star power from the nba. all a team can help you plan for your dreams. so your dream car, and vacation home, may be closer than you think. ready to meet the dream team? you can with wells fargo.

everything that you've collected, i think over the last, you know, your adult life and even your childhood. and. and so i wanted to go back. a lot of people told me there's no point going back. i don't think you're going to find anything. but i think just for my own personal reasons, to be able to just feel what it feels like and just sit, be there and to see it in person is really important to me. >> after waiting to check in here in lot three, which some say have taken at least an hour, residents must have their id and address verified by police. >> chicken, fish. >> and then they're directed to various services like red cross or la city if needed. some we've spoken with today are unhappy with the process and how long it's taken to get up to their homes. >> you tell me the common sense of having us come all the way down here to show you an id, to go all the way back to go in the palisades. i've said enough. it sucks. >> and although many residents know they'll be returning to nothing but ash and rubble, to be back home is enough. >> maybe one photo, maybe

something to take away. probably not. but better go and see it, right? so. the rains there was anything, i suspect it's probably washed down anyway. >> ashley mackey, abc seven news. >> a new bill introduced in sacramento is targeting big oil. democrats backing the legislation want to create a pathway for californians and insurers to seek damages following climate disasters like wildfires and major flooding. >> those who have been harmed in these climate disasters to seek damages in court from the fossil fuel companies who have done business in california and who suppressed the truth going back so many years about what their product was going to do in terms of climate change and climate disasters. >> state senator scott wiener says the bill aims to bring down sky high insurance premiums. the bill could also allow the state's fair plan to sue fossil

fuel companies for damage or damages. the western states petroleum association is fighting back, sharing a statement that reads the announcement of today's proposal is the latest installment of an ongoing effort to scapegoat our industry and the thousands of hard working women and men who keep california running for political gain. while complex problems continue to go unsolved. >> snow and icy conditions forced the closure of interstate five overnight between la and kern counties. it was shut down in both directions through this morning for a total of 13 hours. terribly inconvenient. caltrans crews cleared the roads and spread sand to try to improve traction over the summit. this comes less than a week after another closure of the same area of i-5. because of the hughes wildfire. so they can't quite get a break down in that section of i-5. >> yeah. meanwhile, we've been wanting rain and we are finally about to get some. >> spencer christian is here with the forecast. it's been nice while it lasted, but we need it. spencer. >> yes. yeah. we enjoy the clear

skies. i'm not so crazy about the cold mornings, but, yes, we do need some rainfall. here's a look at the satellite radar image. you can see that low pressure system down south that produced the snow over over portions of i-5 and the grapevine. there, cold air wrapping around from the backside of that low, bringing that snow to the area and some much needed rainfall to, of course, help with the containment of fires. but we've got clear skies and smooth sailing here in the bay area right now. although a bit chilly, we've got wind speeds at the moment that are brisk and breezy, but nothing gusty, and the 24 hour temperature change is significant. after a very cold morning across the entire region. we have warmed up rather nicely in the afternoon hours, about 5 or 6 degrees warmer in many bay area locations right now than at this time yesterday. so let's take a closer look. we have upper 50s right now at san francisco, oakland and hayward, low 60s at san jose and redwood city. moving along. nice view from mount tam looking down into the bay. 57 degrees in petaluma right now. napa only 58. but all these other locations are in the 60s. santa rosa, fairfield,

concord and livermore at 60 degrees. so let's check out our forecast headlines. morning frost and freeze alerts will be with us through thursday. so there's more cold weather coming our way. but rain is also coming our way. it returns beginning on friday and the weekend outlook calls for even more showers, so some much needed rain is coming. but first, let's focus on these cold air alerts we have in this area of light blue. our frost advisory, which covers basically all of the bay area, including the san francisco bay shoreline. the excluded portion is the coastline, of course. so from 1 a.m. to 9 a.m. tomorrow, we've got the frost advisory and a freeze warning, which is in effect for the eastern santa clara hills. temperatures in the area of the freeze warning will drop down to about 28 degrees in the coldest locations. meanwhile, in the area of the frost advisory, we're looking at lows that will probably bottom out at about 32 degrees. here's a look at their projected overnight lows 31 in santa rosa, 33 in napa, 31 at livermore, 33 at concord. so it's going to be very cold in the inland areas and even

near the bay shoreline. we're talking about lows in the upper 30s overnight. the one location that may not drop below 40 degrees is san francisco, where we expect a low of 41. highs tomorrow. not very high at all, mainly upper 50s around the bay shoreline, 59 at oakland and san mateo and fremont. if you move inland, we can. you can find 60 degrees at concord tomorrow, 61 fremont down in the livermore, rather down in the south bay, 62 at san jose and up in the north bay, 62 at santa rosa. moving along, here's the accuweather seven day forecast. as you can see, our daytime temperatures are going to drop a little bit on wednesday and thursday, where we probably won't see any locations reaching 60 degrees. only upper 50s starts to get a little bit cloudy along with the cooler weather on thursday. then on friday we're expecting some showers or light rain. more rain on saturday. the first weekend in february is going to be a wet one. we're not talking about a deluge or, you know, a wipeout, but wet weather? much rain. yeah, well, and you know, january has been

so dry. we've had only about two days so far of measurable rain. >> whole month. >> in the whole month. >> we forget it's winter. yeah. that's true. thanks, spencer. >> okay. >> well, a new strain of bird flu found in california. and why the price of eggs will likely not come down any time soon. >> and u.s. tech stocks plunged over word of a new ai leader, possibly in the

a bill that would make movie times clearer. a state senator wants theaters to post start times for any sort of previews or announcements as one time slot than the actual movie start time as another. the move comes after complaints from people who were late to dinner say, because their reservations were at a time they didn't realize the movie would not yet be over, i saw. i mean, i get it. i sort of think that this is a solution in search of a problem. i mean, don't we all know that the movies have 15 or 20 minutes of previews? >> yes, but i do like this because i think it's important for you to have an idea. i mean, you're running in there trying to make sure that you're not going to lose anything in the beginning of the film. and then also, you should know when you can take a bathroom break. so i think this is all good. >> i totally agree. this has been one of my pet peeves for years. really? yeah, absolutely. >> are you one of those people, spencer? >> yeah, i'm one of those. you get in there, you know, for the start time. i mean, of course, you know, there are going to be previews, but these days they go on for 15 or 20 minutes. yeah. next thing you know, it's like,

come on, i want to see the movie. >> i do like the previews. typically, i must say, but i'm not. >> you know, what i do is i always show up 20 minutes late. like later than the billed start time. right. because you know that. >> and you never miss anything, right? >> yes. and then i look ahead to see when the next showing in that theater is. and i figure the movie's actually ending about ten, 15 minutes before that. >> but this plan means you don't have to do that math anymore. >> yeah. that's right. >> gosh. because it would be great world if none of us ever had to do any math. oh. that's true. coke is it when it comes to costco? the company confirms it's swapping out pepsi for coke products. the change will happen by summer. the move comes as coke is set to introduce a new flavor. orange cream is bringing back the nostalgia of the creamsicle. the company even has a countdown clock on its website, counting down to the february 10th release date. are we all clamoring for the creamsicle? is that what's happening here? >> i'd like to see an actual creamsicle not have that flavor in a drink, but, you know, i just. >> i feel like that's going to taste like medicine. i don't know.

>> yeah. >> it might. >> i want to say it was in mexico city somewhere where i went, where they had like, a it's almost like a coke museum with every single flavor imaginable. >> oh, yeah. >> and you know what? classic is best. >> classic is best. i think i could be wrong. i think they have one in atlanta, too. >> oh, of course, of course. >> yeah, i'm pretty sure that they do. yeah. all right. if you're struggling with that new year's resolution, experts say you are not alone. a new study suggests that forming new habits may take longer than you think. researchers found it takes about two months to form new habits, and up to a year to really make it stick, which is, in a word, a bit of a bummer, spencer. >> it is. i think most of us who have tried to form new habits have discovered that it takes it doesn't just take right away. you know, it requires a commitment of time and lower your expectations. >> maybe it doesn't happen right away and you have to really stick to it. it's also just as hard to break a habit. it takes time to stop something you want to stop. >> i thought it was 21 days, two

months now. wow. okay. >> i'm sure there's individual variation. i feel like if i could do something for two weeks straight, then i can keep it up. really? >> yeah. yeah. no, i think that's probably true. it depends on the individual, but. yeah. it's not an overnight. you're not. we're not overnight successes. >> yeah. and you might, you know, fall back or like, occasionally fail. and then you got to start again and. yeah. >> it also helps to have someone who you can be accountable to. someone that you can tell. hey, you know, this is this is what i want to do this year and this is how good i'm doing or this is how i'm kind of slacking. i think that also helps, except in the two months. >> that does help. except if you're not doing well, then it's annoying when they bug you about it. >> that's part of it. >> accountability partner

there were a lot of smiles at today's closing bell on wall street, but it wasn't exactly a good day for tech stocks. it was a rough day after a chinese company called deep seek announced its new artificial intelligence tool. >> analysts say it can do what the other models can, like openai and chatgpt, but it's a lot cheaper to both train and to operate. abc seven news reporter zach fuentes has a closer look at what this could mean for silicon valley. >> the world's leaders in ai technology have new competition. deep seek is beating out openai's. chatgpt is the most popular free app in the apple

app store. deep seek is a one year old startup. its ai model is similar to chatgpt. >> even in the design, even in the, you know, the layout on the desktop or on the phone. it's exactly like like what chatgpt is doing. >> but there's one key difference deep seek did it at a fraction of the price. >> companies like open ai or gemini from google. in order for them to train their models, they spend hundreds of millions of dollars. >> deep seek says it spent only $5.6 million. part of that low cost has been because deep seek has used underpowered ai chips instead of high power ai chips. >> less resources. less cost. more efficiency. >> the u.s. has restricted high power ai chips to china over national security concerns, leading deep seek to develop its model with the less expensive chips. the model is also entirely free to users. all factors that led to an historic stock sell off monday, with shares for silicon valley's nvidia tumbling 17%, the largest single day loss on record worth

almost $600 billion in market value. >> essentially, those who thought that spending would be much more robust in this space at higher prices for companies like nvidia or broadcom are now concerned that, well, maybe some of those profits and some of that spending is put at risk. >> since 2022, tech stocks have seen a boom because of ai. now, deep seat could see a turning point in the level of investment needed in ai. experts, though, say there's no need to cry for tech giants like nvidia. >> yet nvidia is a strong company. so this is this is just, you know, a shock. >> still, they say deep seek speaks to the many players outside the united states entering the ai development game and the need for u.s. companies to stay competitive. >> now it's on the side of open ai and google to make sure that they are different and they have something special to offer. >> in silicon valley. zach fuentes, abc seven news. >> today i spoke with uc berkeley computer science professor and co-founder of databricks, a leader in the ai space, ian stoica. now, he says,

this could make or break companies which are investing in this new technology. >> you know, i think there are two ways to look at it, and we'll see what the future will bring us. on one hand, it's obviously the fear that, you know, these models are going to get commoditized and the value of these companies are going to drop. but on the other hand, if i still have a lot of resources, then i can accelerate the development of these technologies. and if it can come sooner, then these companies can be even more valuable. so there is a scenario in which these companies can be less or even more valuable, because these innovations from deep tech can help accelerate the progress of ai. >> stoica says the us will need to focus more on open source models like china has been doing, and really pushing and encouraging to get more people to use their products. and of course, you know, if it's not closed so that only that one

company has the code, like you're just exponentially growing like the knowledge, right? >> well, it is it is growing exponentially. this is all moving so fast. it's fascinating. all right, let's turn back to the weather forecast, and we'll go with the man with a great deal of genuine intel. >> yeah. not artificial. nothing artificial about it. >> nothing artificial here? no. i at the freeze and frost will be with us again tomorrow morning. we have freeze and frost advisories. well, the frost advisory freeze warning in effect from 1 a.m. to 9 a.m. now, the area in blue that's the frost advisory covers virtually all of the bay area, including the bay shoreline, everything except the coastline. temperatures will drop down to about 32 degrees in the coldest spots under the frost advisory. the freeze warning is in effect for the eastern santa clara hills. temperatures may drop there down to as low as 28 degrees, so be prepared for yet another cold bay area morning. here's a look at our forecast lows for the overnight hours 31 degrees and livermore and santa rosa. low to mid 30s in many locations 29 the likely low at fairfield and even around
