jessbuooks ahead to a heat advory from our virtual view studio, jess. heading into this weekend. we have a heat wave moving in. it's going to impact many of our inland areas today we already feel the warmth down in the santa clara valley 80s in store for us today we have 90s off into the east bay and areas like concord in antioch. where those daytime highs are going to warm up even more by tomorrow, closer to the triple digits. we're not going to see that same trend necessarily as much close to the coastline. we get that marine influence a lot cooler and breezy conditions and cloudy skies along our coast not only today but will notice that tomorrow to so these 50s we have near half moon bay. we're going to stick around that heading into the next couple of days. here we go into san francisco this afternoon 65 degrees for daytime high. we warm up into the 80s once he had north across the golden gate bridge in areas like petaluma, novato and we'll get some gusty conditions. this afternoon, to let's take a look at what that puts us at the daytime highs. sitting mostly around average, a little bit warmer in our inland areas a little bit cooler along the coast. but the national weather service is keeping a close eye on all of us, and they've issued a heat advisory for all

the highlighted zones and counties on this map. we have a lot of warmth as we head into our saturday forecast. but luckily this heat advisory expires by 10:00 pm tomorrow. we're left with cooler conditions by sunday, so moderate heat risk in effect for all of our inland areas, so keep that in mind for any outdoor activities. maybe you want to head out to the fair this weekend with the loved ones over near pleasanton. look at the difference from saturday. all the way into sunday over 10 degree difference from many of our inland areas with upper 90s by saturday upper 80s by sunday now sunday is also stern grove. as we kick off the festival season, we're expecting 60s near san francisco. so this is just proof that all of our micro climates are doing something really different day by day, and we noticed that as we look at the next 7 days, low 90s this afternoon opera 90s by saturday, right back down to upper 80s as we head into sunday, you know the day that you want to go out. it's going to be a sunday day, right? here's what we're looking at into next week. that we average out into the 80s all week long throughout our inland areas. but once we head along the coast and at least along the bay closer to san francisco and across the bay bridge over in oakland. temperatures are a lot more moderate, and we were talking about upper 70s by tomorrow, that's as hot as it's

going to get throughout the next 7 days. we have reached out into the low 70s into next week with partly cloudy skies and that june gloom sticking around just a little bit longer. are they? the biden administration. new move on immigration could bring relief to immigrants living in the us without legal status. who are married to american citizens reporter lilia luciano. but with 1 family now on a pathway to citizenship. >>another big election year move by president biden on immigration. >>secure the border and provide legal pathways and citizens. >>the president announced. a streamlined pathway to citizenship for more than 500,000. undocumented spouses married to american citizens. to be eligible couples must already be married. they must have been in the country for 10 years and have no criminal record. undocumented children or also eligible policy comes 2 weeks after the administration. severely restricted. access to asylum. for people crossing the border illegally. >>a lot of people think that if you marry an american citizen,

you can easily get a green card. that is not the case, especially for people who cross the border illegally, or overstate avi's. visa. and even in the cases when they could be eligible. they still have to go back to their country in wait before being allowed to come back as permanent residents. i mean, there's a there's a lot that i worry about. >>came to the us from india 11 years ago and overstayed a visa. he has been married to annie america. citizen for 6 years. they have a 10 month old daughter and a baby on >>the way. it's very stressful to think about him having to leave. >>under the new policy or could stay in the country through his immigration. process. protected from deportation and eligible to work legally. >>has nobody in india. and i have nobody in india. they there's nothing for us over there. what's the hardest part about still being undocumented? you can enjoy their life. >>and now 12 years to the week

since the implementation of the daca program under the obama administration. this new program. expands access for those dreamers, people the people who came to the us s as children who were undocumented. and at that received deportation protection. will this program now expands access for work visas for those who qualify? meaning people who attended us universities and who have received a job offer in their field of study? >>now. again. the president's announcement comes less than 5 months before the election. this could help him in key battleground states like arizona, nevada and georgia. where there are more than 300,000 mixed status families that would benef still ahead. we're talking live with the bay area. immigration expert about the scope of these policy changes. especially here in california, and what he has seen for himself at the border. plus, there is a little known program. aimed at monitoring migrants. would uses gps technology to keep track of

them.

immigration policy is a welcome. change. for a lot of families. including the so called dreamers, people who came to the u. s undocumented as children and are now part of the daca program. one example

is brenda and antonio val been married for almost 12 years. they live in l. a. both were born in mexico. antonio has been a us citizen since 2001 brenda came to the country when she was 3 years old. and is a daca recipient. but she says she worries every 2 years whether her status will get renewed. now she's eligible for legal status under president biden student plan. >>yeah. it's just it is just 1 step closer to filling more. stabilized in in the country. relief like it's like we've been fighting. so much. this year's and it's it's a yeah. a good moment for for us. for us, a family >>alright, well, joining me live now us. f professor of law and migration studies bill on hitting thanks for being with us. let's start with the daca. recipients. the dreamers because we've been going back

and forth on policy changes throughout the last couple of administrations there so what do these new protections mean? yeah. new protections for the doctor. recipients has a lot to do with employment. authorization. so under the current daca program, the daca recipients do get employment authorization, but that is being challenged in the federal courts. the federal courts have ruled that obama and biden didn't have the authority. to just hand people employment authorization. so the beauty of what president biden just proposes that he he's not going to invent. what employment authorization for folks. he's going to go through an already existing program. that h 1 b program that many bay area silicon valley folks are and all of us who live here are very familiar with 1 bs are for people who have graduated. from college. and floor employed in an area. that they've studied. so what the daca part of the

dreamer, part of what president biden announces. it allows them to apply for and a church 1 b and get a waiver. get a waiver of the fact that they have lived here and undocumented status and so that that's very important because the current daca employment authorization is going to probably be struck down by the supreme court next year, okay? will help. those current daca recipients by using an existing programs, 1 b program. okay, but we are talking about opposition already. i mean, can they feel confident in that and do they have to keep that job? they do have to keep that job. if it's a 3 year plus 3 year possibility their temporary and so you've got to stay with that employer and and if the employer lays you off you're going to lose your h 1 b status and that that's happened to some h 1 bs in the last year or 2. we all know that silicon

valley has laid off some people. and some of those laid off work currently 1 beholders and so it's true that your question is a good question. even 1 bs are somewhat tenuous. they're not permanent. yeah. so that that constant living in uncertainty ah! tell us a little bit about the people who have crossed the border. maybe illegally. they've overstayed a visa. the specific rules that might apply to them or the restrictions. because of maybe they took things too far years ago. exactly so the story that you just had a brenda who is married and the example that that the facts in that that story was that she entered when she was 3 years old. probably illegally with her parents. so that meant she entered without inspection. she is going to benefit from this because what she what? biden is granting is this odd thing called parole in place? which means that she's

going to be paroled in the united states was actually without having to leave, okay, she's gonna be paroled and place that satisfies the requirements. for her to apply for a green card. most people think that once you marry a citizen, you're going to get a green card. it's not true. it's not true if you entered without inspection. if you entered without inspection, you have to leave. for 10 years. whereas now she won't have to leave and stay out of the country for 10 years she can apply for the green card now, okay, because that was something right that her parents brought her over here when she's 3 years old, you know that. it's something that was not necessarily her fault that she would have to be punished for and in spending the 10 years. ok, so that's a significant change. is that something we can expect is going to stick. yeah, i think so. the parole and policy parolin in place policy is in the statute. okay, it's usually for emergency reasons. it's been you and humanitarian reasons it's been used for. military spouses. quite a bit.

um, and for military. people who are may not be documented. and so the i i think it will stand in court because this is temporary. and it's an emergency to keep families. together. so i do think it's going to be challenged as you said. but it's a it's a nice move on the part of the been administration, to do something. politically, that's going to be viewed as nice to the immigrant population. because people immigrant rights folks are a little bit of that upset, to be honest with you at the biden administration, because of the border just give a little context to our viewers. you're not just living in the bubble lebec adamia you spent a significant amount of time at the border yourself. so can you give us that perspective? what are you seeing there your personal experience. yeah. so our clinic at usf goes a couple of times a year and we represent over 500. people who have come through the border applying for asylum and what what we see are people who are desperate there, folks

that have fled violence cartel. violence gang violence. domestic violence and they're not coming here for a picnic. and, um, my heart always goes out to them. and i they deserve to be able to apply for asylum. unfortunately, 2 weeks ago ago president biden in an executive order basically is closing down the border. um and i think he's done that, in response to criticism. that the border is out of control. i don't view the border as a border crisis. i view it as a humanitarian crisis that that we really ought to be helping these folks and i think we have the capacity to do that going to be such a hot button topic. this presidential election. will continue to follow it, but really appreciate your perspective there. professor bill on king with us f thanks. thank you. and as part of our discussion how to best handle asylum seekers crossing the us southern border is the

question. causing divisions across the country and congress considering whether to expand programs that monitor migrants in the us 1 of them is an app called smart link as of last month, ice was using it to track about 17,000 migrants across the san francisco region, which includes all of california north of bakersfield, cbs is tom hanson got rare access to see how this works. and asks if it's effective. you >>see >>the cap. >>dome. >>what does it mean >>to you? >>welcome >>to >>you, the united states. x beautiful. entrance into the united states immigration system that >>started >>2 years ago. this migrants from venezuela. was seeking asylum. river came up to here. would feel as though the river was going to pull me under. he crossed the border and the state of texas, then bust him to washington, dc while he waits for an immigration court process that can take more than 5 years. he is monitored by the

government. yeah. how did that make you feel? come over in other made me feel like i was being watched. i felt like i was a fugitive on the run. instead of putting him in a detention center immigration and customs enforcement handed him a phone with this app called smart link. six years the app has monitored almost 8. people considers lower risk. agent donovan right showed us how it uses facial recognition. photo gps to track migrants donovan is on the move. we're going to send a request for facial. all. recognition check in. you can see this red flag popped up, and that means that they have opened the app. environmental check in for my case specialist. site going to do we check in? oh, and you can see there's now an arrow up there. the app allows agents to check in with migrants anytime. it also flags important court dates. is it part of a solution to an immigration system in this country? that so many

people think is broken. well, who better to ask than the guy that oversees the program here at ice? or absconder rate is under 10% for this fiscal year. giles considers that a success. for perspective. we asked ice for the absconder rate before it started smart link but spokespeople didn't get back to us by our deadline in its own report to congress, says due to cost most migrants are eventually phased off the app before their court dates. if they're consistently compliant. that means will continue to have challenges reporting on its effectiveness. why invest so he in something that hasn't been proven? detained? population has grown. over 200%, but reay, we haven't gotten the resources to effectively. manage that docket the way we would like to, but for the cases that are on it in my belief, it's been effective for us. yeah. direction. they have the right to do it. it's their laws. it's obviously necessary so they know who i am, where i'm from where i'm

located. tracking a location. as a migrant takes his steps. towards citizenship. ahead and escaping too. the us for the own. safety. one family's journey out of danger in in their country and how they're building a new life here in the bay. one. >>yeah. this is picks plus more of what you want. more often. in the morning. and the prime time edition. at at and 9:00 pm news. feely elizabeth cook, juliette goodrich and sara donchey groundbreaking original storytelling from the newsroom plus politics project earth and weather like you've never seen the prime time edition.

(♪♪) i'm getting vaccinated with pfizer's pneumococcal pneumonia vaccine. so am i. because i'm at risk for pneumococcal pneumonia.

come on. i already got a pneumonia vaccine, but i'm asking about the added protection of prevnar 20®. if you're 19 or older with certain chronic conditions like asthma, diabetes, copd, or heart disease, or are 65 or older, you are at increased risk for pneumococcal pneumonia. prevnar 20® is approved in adults to help prevent infections from 20 strains of the bacteria that cause pneumococcal pneumonia. in just one dose. don't get prevnar 20® if you've had a severe allergic reaction to the vaccine or its ingredients. adults with weakened immune systems may have a lower response to the vaccine. the most common side effects were pain and swelling at the injection site, muscle pain, fatigue, headache, and joint pain. i want to be able to keep my plans. i don't want to risk ending up in the hospital with pneumococcal pneumonia. that's why i chose prevnar 20®. ask your doctor or pharmacist about the pfizer vaccine for pneumococcal pneumonia.

>>well, today we've been talking about immigration. and border. policy and well, we know a lot of people want to come. to the us for better opportunities. for millions of others. it's also to escape war and conflict. june is refugee awareness month and we met a family that fled persecution in venezuela and now calls the bay area home. the nava kilar is far now lives in san jose. carlos faced threats for speaking out against the venezuelan government. led to ecuador. without his family. eventually, they reconnected
