was brought to the bay area as a possible mate for "koko the gorilla"... must be returned to a federal judge has ruled that a male silver back gorilla who was brought to the bay area as a possible mate for koko must be returned to cincinnati. the judge says the 2015 agreement between the gorilla foundation and the cincinnati zoo to return the male silverback after koko's death must be upheld. koko died this past june at the age of 46. she was one of the most beloved animals at the gorilla foundation's preserve in the santa cruz mountains. astounding the world by learning sign language. despite her death, the zoo argued moving her male companion back to the cincinnati zoo where he was born would be harmful to his health. the judge ruled there's no legal basis to negate the agreement. no heat, no electricity, so protests today over conditions at a federal prison. inmates and workers have had to endure the conditions during the cold snap.

the government's blaming a power outage that it says will be fixed by monday. that's providing little comfort tonight to the more than 1,000 housed here as well as workers. >> it's ludicrous, it's disgusting. >> we've been working with coats, hats, scarves. >> inmates received additional blankets and clothing. we're following developing news. a landmark cold war treaty between russia and the united states has collapsed. president vladimir putin announced he is abandoning the intermediate range nuclear ballistic missile treaty signed by president reagan in 1987. putin also will start work on new missiles including hypersonic ones. the russian president made it clear it was astes said it was violations. of the treaty because of russian president trump says both sides share responsibility. >> one side has not been adhering to it. we have, but one side hasn't. unless they're going to adhere, we shouldn't be the only one.

>> nato agrees russia is not in compliance and supports the decision by the united states to back out of that treaty. new tonight, a bumpy start to the year for tesla. a report claiming model 3 sales in the u.s. took a dive last month. according to "inside ev," sales plunge god about 75%. the company sold 25,000 model 3s in december, but only 6,500 in january. numbers from tesla yet as the company reports sales quarterly. ceo elon musk blamed the stormy weather th focusing on china and europe for model 3 sales. a popular beach overtaken by elephant seals was back open today. the parking lot at drake's beach is free of elephant seals. the group including dozens of newborn pups has been contained to the beach a few yards off the parking lot. they moved in during the government shutdown. of course, rangers are still warning visitors keep their distance from the animals.

potential water spots as the thunderstorm crosses the coast between now and 8:30ment a sample of the thunderstorms -- 8:30. a sample of the thunderstorms, something to watch if you're in santa cruz in the next ten minutes. to the north, you see the heavier showers also crossing into south san francisco, scanned by mobile doppler radar. rain wrapping into berkeley, oakland, danville. notice the north bay, not seeing as much. the upper level low is bringing intense moisture to areas south of san francisco where we think the heaviest rain will fall tonight. obviously santa cruz and parts of the south bay, we could see an additional half inch to three quarters inch of rain by tomorrow morning. by tomorrow morning, things calm down. rain turns to showers. afternoon highs tomorrow, chilly, breezy with the temperatures in the mid to upper 50s. still a chance of showers even

though by the morning they will be temporarily on the decrease for your super bowl sunday plans. and as you head out around lunchtime, plan on seeing showers becoming more widespread as a cold system gets into monday and tuesday. this will bring much cooler air. highs in the 40s and low 50s. the futurecast gets very interesting late monday to tuesday. not just because it's showing rain, but the potential there for snow levels dropping to 2,000 to 3,000 feet. a lot going on in the seven-day forecast. tonight, it's thunderstorms, wind advisory, and briefly heavy rain. then we begin to watch the co t with highs in the 40s and a good bit at least in the north bay of seeing snow showers, maybe down to 2,000, 3,000 feet. the short-term concern tonight, any of the stronger thunderstorms that pop up like we're seeing off the coast of santa cruz could bring gusty winds and the potential of water spouts between now and 8:30. >> water spouts, what could they become? >> if they cross the coast, if one does happen, we saw this

about two or three weeks ago, it can cause localized damage. usually like the ef-0 or ef-1 types that we typically get in these patterns we'. we'll be watching closesly and bringing you -- closely and bringing you updates. >> thank you. a missing document could mean deportation. we investigate the foreign adoption crisis. ands of residents, ainfants from foreig

now face possible an nbc bay area investigation has discovered tens of thousands of residents adopted as infants from foreign countries face possible deportation because they're technically not citizens. >> these people all raised in the united states now face a very uncertain future and separation from their families. k. >> reporter: this is an adoption crisis tied up in a broken u.s. immigration system. u.s. state department officials in washington estimate between 40,000 and 50,000 people or more face this deportation threat

right now. one of those people now living in legal limbo contacted us when he learned he and his family were at risk of being separated all because of a missing document when he was adopted. because of this precarious legal situation, we won't tell you his last name or exactly where he now lives. >> you know, it's been a long time. >> reporter: liam is 35 years old now. >> probably like 2002 was the last time i was here. >> reporter: as he, his wife, and 5-year-old daughter showed us around his old neighborhood, the local playground, and the sidewalk where liam wrote his name -- >> my whole neighborhood, friends and i, use today to trick-or-treat at robin williams' house. >>ep thehildhood memories of growing up in san francisco's inner richmond came rushing back. it was a world away from the jungles of brazil. >> i knew i was adopted but didn't ever feel that i was

special or different in any way. >> reporter: court document show he was brought here and legally adopted in san francisco by parents who are now deceased. >> i went to school, played sports, friends, got married. never thought for a second like, you know, this would be of question. >> reporter: life changed when liam had to get a security clearance from the u.s. department of homeland security for his job. only then after more than three decades living as if he were a u.s. citizen did liam officially learn what he never in his wildest imagined -- he wasn't a citizen. >> i lose sleep over it. it's really nerve-racking. >> i think as the adopted child of two u.s. citizens he has inherited certain rights that he's being denied now. >> reporter: liam's wife dani started digging. she found a box in a shed with hundreds of documents including legal adoption school

records, social security roernds. >> our feelings of love and bond regular such that we very much experience him as our own child. >> reporter: she talked to people who knew liam's adoptive parents and to old relatives in brazil. >> the looming threat of our family being torn apart is terrifying. >> reporter: through her research, dani discovered liam was never given a legal document to enter the u.s. >> we simply can't find these records for liam. we don't know if they exist, we don't know if they don't. see the little baby daddy there -- >> reporter: we spent months confirming liam and y.da we learned they aren't the only ones facing this dilemma. >> the constant fear of am i nix. >> reporter: joy is an international adoptee, too, who has struggled to get citizenship for 27 years. she serves as program director for the adoptee rights campaign.

while congress passed a law in 2000 to fix the problem, children brought to the u.s. before 2000, like liam, remain in legal jeopardy because current law does not address their situation retroactively. how's it possible a child brought into the country, never made a citizen, new faces deportation? so how that possible? is that a broken u.s. system? >> i think a lot of times people come home with their child, and they're a new family or they have a child to take care of, and they perhaps didn't go through the process the final steps that they needed to take to get the citizenship for that child. >> reporter: are there holes that still need to be legislative fixed? >> i think there are many people within the adoption community and in congress, and they are working on various fixes. >> reporter: liam and dani took forward can provide some clarity to our situation. >> reporter: the proopzed adoptee citizenship act would have patched the proposal in the

law, but it died in congress last september. >> i would lose everything that i spent my life here building. >> reporter: because of those flaws in current u.s. law, the adoptees rights campaign report says as many as 15,000 additional people adopted from 1999 to 2016 are also at risk of reaching adulthood without u.s. citizenship. suzanne lawrence at the u.s. state department says her office is hopeful that congress will eventually step in and fix the law to get rid of this legal limbo. stephen stock, nbc bay area news. >> if you have a question for our investigative unit, call -- 100 years prepares shop. how much time customers have to enjoy one more meal there. and that cold snap across the country not just impacting people but pets, as well. the fight over a dog allegedly left out in the cold. coverage.

nose. he was suffering. neighbors reported him, but maverick's owner says she takes good care of the dog. >> we come out, we break the ice so he can have his water or change his water. we give him fresh water and give him extra dog food. you tell me what dog gets better treatment than that. >> i don't know if they a some . >> we'll get an answer from the state attorney general who is now investigating the incident. after more than a century in business, one daley city resident is closing up shop. estrada's has been serving mexican and caribbean cuisine on mission street for the last 102 years. the restaurant recently posted on facebook that tomorrow will be its last day. when we talked to the owner, he told us a change in plans will keep estrada's open through the end of the month. he says it's been a pleasure to serve the community, but it's now time for him to seek other endeavors. a bay area delegation of immigrant rights activists headed to church today ahead of an important trip to washington, d.c. the activists were welcomed into

mixed bag of things. watching special marine warnings for severe thunderstorms crossing the coast. a new one has just been issued between now and 9:00 tonight. we'll take you into that and give you a closer view. to see the widespread, soaking rain start to break up into scattered showers. check this out -- south of santa cruz, the boxed in area you see in green between now and 9:00, special marine warning like this cell that crossed the coast earlier to the west of santa cruz showed rotation on radar. and some of the stronger cells crossing the coast may include obviously some hail, frequent lightning, f water spouts as they across the coast here just to the east of santa cruz and off to the west of watsonville. we'll continue to monitor this over the next 15 minutes and keep you updated on the strong storms. across the rest of the central bay area, back to south san francisco, san francisco toward the east bay, you're seeing the steady, soaking rains kind of lifting from south to north. north bay not seeing as much. this trend actually should
