agents spotted in the south bay. >> they're hunting down immigrants in our communities as if they were animals and it's absolutely disgusting. then the year of the snake brings aplite cool shift for many in the aapi community, why it's something the party of change may have not seen coming. and the potential legal battle brewing in sonoma state after the school announced it was cutting all of their sports programs. >> good evening on this sunday night. i'm brian hackney. >> and i'm andrea nakano. after a continuance back and forth and dueling tariff threats, the colombian government says they've come to a tentative agreement with the trump administration to start accepting deported migrants into the country with their president gustavo petro announcing a few hours ago the foreign minister is on his way to d.c. to hammer out the details. >> before that deal was announced, i.c.e. agents were spotted in the south bay today taking at least one person into custody at a san jose target.

amanda hari has the details. >> reporter: the rabid response network protects immigrant families from deportation. they say i.c.e. was first spotted here in the parking lot of the target near story and king roads. >> they're hunting down immigrants in our communities as if they were animals and it's absolutely disgusting. >> reporter: san jose district 5 city council member peter ortiz says he's horrified by what's happening in his community. >> i personally responded to their presence here. i was one of the first members of the rapid response team. >> reporter: ortiz spent his whole day driving around tracking the i.c.e. agents, trying to learn what he can for the people he serves. he took these photos of the officers and their vehicles. ortiz says the community has been nervous about the new presidential administration for this exact reason. >> here on the east side of san jose, our economy relies on

immigrants, whether it's undocumented, naturalized, vietnamese, latino. 50% of the businesses that are opened in this community, well, really in the city of san jose are immigrant-run. >> reporter: lead dispatcher for the rapid response network, socorro montano, started tracking i.c.e. later in the day. >> then we got another call that said no, actually they're no longer here. they're in the neighborhood. >> reporter: montano approached them to confirm they were federal agents. >> so folks called us today worried about going to work, worried about coming to go shopping, worried about visiting their families or leaving their houses at all. >> reporter: she says calls came pouring in all day from people who say they're afraid to go out in their own community. both montano and ortiz believe this was a targeted i.c.e. operation. they captured video of what looks like one person being taken into custody. >> my understanding is one person was picked up, a colombian nationalist, so yeah, unfortunately, that person will be going through the deportation process. >> reporter: going forward, ortiz encourages everyone to know their rights if they're

approached by an i.c.e. officer. >> i would say you have the right to remain silent. you never have to out yourself as an undocumented individual. if you see i.c.e. in the community, call the rapid response network. >> reporter: san jose is a sanctuary city. city council recently introduced a memo to reinforce their commitment to being one. >> we did reach out to i.c.e. for comment and further details on the raid, but they didn't return our calls. san jose mayor matt mahan did respond with this statement saying that sjpd does not assist with or participate this these operations in any way. i sincerely hope that i.c.e. remains focused on enforcement actions related to violence and serious criminals, not members of our community who are law abiding. >> today's raid is just the beginning with vice president vance refusing to say if places like schools or houses of worship were off limits for

i.c.e. >> we're going to enforce immigration law. we're going to protect the american people. >> you'll see number arrested nationwide steadily increase as we open up the aperture. right now it's focused on safety security threats. >> the political winds around just shifting in washington, but in the bay area as well. one place where it is very evident is in san francisco's chinatown. john ramos has that story. >> reporter: san francisco politicians have always just assumed that people will vote democratic, but that may be changing and if it is, it's starting right here in chinatown. >> i come out. i walk around in san francisco chinatown every day. >> reporter: winky toy has lived in san francisco's chinatown 45

years and was happy to see so many people visiting her neighborhood, but she was also happy to see so many of her neighbors coming out to vote in the november presidential election. >> they're in their 80s, 90s, old lady, old man. they all came out to vote because the way it is happening in america, it's going downhill, for example, with the crime rate going up. >> reporter: winky is a proud supporter of donald trump and it looks like she has a lot of company in the asian community. the city's republican party is reporting a huge swell in registrations of people from asian countries since the pandemic. that's quite a turnaround from 2020 when trump was being blamed for inciting asian hate crimes against chinese elders. >> america has become less hospitable to immigrants and refugees. right now asians are told to go back to china, the

wuhan virus or the chinese virus. >> reporter: but that was then. this is now. >> what i see is that regular citizen like i, we are all fed up with the corruption here in san francisco and also in california. we are all fed up. >> i'm not surprised that they're doing that and all my friends have changed this year. so i'm not surprised. >> reporter: nancy yu law owns a couple businesses, including this gift shop. she stuck it out during the pandemic when the streets were deserted. now the people are starting to come back, but she's happy to see a new mayor who she hopes will put an emphasis on safety and prosperity. >> sometimes we not raising our voice, but we always have that value. i don't care which party, democrat or republican, as long as they know what we need and they serve what is needed. then i'm happy to vote for them. >> reporter: if that's not enough warning, there's this. on wednesday the san francisco democratic central committee got a letter from the rose pak asian

democratic club, a prominent political organization, saying the party was failing to meet the needs of the asian community. it said, "given this growing divide, we've made the difficult decision not to recharter with the san francisco democratic party. in fact, it will now be known as the rose pak asian american club removing the word democratic from its name. >> so i can see there's a tremendous, you know, attitude change. people are willing to come out to change. >> reporter: we weren't able to reach anyone from the democratic party for comment today, but as progressives, they like to think of themselves as the party of change, but this is one change they may not have seen coming. lunar new year celebrations kicking off at the san francisco zoo as well, giving people an opportunity to celebrate the year of the snake with some real snakes. in addition to the usual festivities like live music, dancing, and some of the arts and crafts for the kids.

in the south bay thousands of people were out at san jose's grand century mall to celebrate the vietnamese tet lunar new year. mary lee was in little saigon today and spoke to vietnamese americans about the importance of coming together to celebrate the year of the snake. >> we're prepping the lion to bring up to the pole so we can strap it on like a backpack. >> reporter: born and raised in san jose, branden mach has been performing with the golden turtle lion association the last four years. >> i'm so proud of my vietnamese culture. >> reporter: branden just learned this high pole lion dance yesterday for the performance here today at the tet lunar new year celebration. >> i've been wanting to do lion dance since i was 6, but i never got the chance until i got to high school at silver creek and

then i joined. >> reporter: from live performances, taking family photos together, writing wishes for the new year, to celebrating the year of the snake through artwork, grand century mall was packed with thousands of people celebrating tet lunar new year. >> me personally, i've lived here over 20 years, so i'm very happy that we have such a big celebration here at grand century this year celebrating the year of the snake. >> reporter: branden is proud to honor his heritage, representing his vietnamese culture through the art of lion dancing. >> happy new year! still ahead tonight at 11:00, after the biggest battery storage plant on earth catches fire in moss landing, one lawmaker is trying to light a legislative fire under the industry in california. and then how the family of

alexis gabe is marking three years since her death at the same time the district attorney's office announces they will not be pursuing any more charges in the case. and then the much needed rain in southern california, creating mudslides on freshly burned hills. darren? >> we will look at that. i've got the radar on southern california live tonight, but first we have to talk about our cold mornings. the next three mornings, in fact, have freeze warnings for a wide ranging part of the bay. put some numbers on this and show you how cold we'll be and what about our chance for rain? we'll see when that might come back.

on the third anniversary of her death, the family of alexis gabe and members of the community gathered in oakley for a prayer vigil tonight. it was also the second annual kindness day in her memory. alexis was missing for months before some of her remains were found in amador county. police say she was killed by her boyfriend, marshall jones. he was killed by police in washington when they tried to serve him with an arrest warrant. the gabe family has pressed the contra costa

county district attorney to file accessory after the fact charges against his mother, alicia coleman-clark. the d.a. announced this week there wasn't enough evidence to pursue those charges. well, the story of fire and rain with south land wildfires, four of the biggest are almost entirely contained and after concerns of those fires reigniting from santa ana winds, the region is now dealing with rain which could impact burn scars. crews were cleaning up this mudflow in the aftermath of the palisades fire. a stretch of palisades road was closed off as bulldozers cleared off the mud and also mudflows on topanga canyon boulevard and mud also trapped four cars in woodland hills. tow trucks pulled out the cars wedged in the thick mud. an oakland little league program is helping children affected by the southern california fires. they held an equipment drive at chabot field for the little league teams in

pacific palisades. families dropped on of new or gently used gloves, bats, helmets and cleats. organizers said they want to make sure players have the equipment they need for the upcoming season. >> when these fires took place, it just like killed us that some kids might not have a season or might not have anything at all equipment-wise to play. >> organizers also tell us people have been reaching out to donate money for their equipment drive. we're all curious like how bad is the rain, mudslides, and everything in southern california? >> they've gotten through the most concerning part of this. they aren't out of the woods. there are still flood watches down there, but there was a flood warning earlier tonight for a localized part of the palisades fire. i'll show you what's going on in a second. if we take a live look at the virtual set, i've got the radar for southern california going and we are going to check in on what it's doing now and the remainder of tonight. those flood watches stay in effect down there till 10:00 a.m., more

on that in a second. first, look at our situation. we've got a big area that is covered in blue on the map. morning lows over the next three days are going down into the low 30s for some of our coldest inland valleys. so this is a freeze watch there from livermore here, 32, and you can follow that all the way up into the north bay where numbers are going to do what they do on cold nights. you're going down into the low 30s. so we aren't all going there. let's look at everybody else's morning low and fill in the map, follow that all the way down to the santa clara valley. san francisco at 41, you're not included in the freeze watch, but still going to be a cold morning, tomorrow, tuesday. wednesday might be a bit better. the cold air is the headline for now. there is a small chance for rain for us increasing as we get towards the end of the seven-day forecast and i'll show you the disagreement in the long range models on that coming up in a bit, but for now let's come in for a closer look at that

situation in southern california. we'll bring the radar up. that's here and now. you see the counterclockwise spin. you can see there is some intensity to these showers. i want to slow it down and bring up the clarity on the rain and bring it into a little more detail. you've got the palisades burn scar pretty much here. you basically go along this stretch from malibu over towards pacific palisades, that's largely the burn scar. right now they aren't getting rained on, but they were quite heavily earlier in the evening and thankfully, that cell has passed and the flood warning has been dropped, but there were already minor mudslides happening throughout the santa monica mountains tonight. there's another burn scar, though. so you've got the eaton fire over here. if we put futurecast on here, watching both of those burn scars through the remainder of tonight, it's going to be touch and go, but i think we've seen the worst of this system. we still have to

get through 10:00 tomorrow morning and it has been dicey there today. let's talk about our next chance for rain. for that, we'll take out the northern hemisphere and put on what does look like a pretty good looking storm track set up out in the pacific and if we take the rain in that storm track and play that forward, the first model says we might get some rain out of this as early as sunday. keep your eye on the timestamp down there. we'll let this model play ahead until it connects with that model. it's the american model. let's look at the other model. here's where we compare and contrast. we've got the american model in front of me and we've got the european model here and we can see the differences. this one is a little more bullish in terms of wanting to bring us rain and by the time we get to the week after, so we've got to get into early february, that one really does appear to be showing us a better chance for rain. so maybe february turns out better than

january has. let's get into the seven-day forecast from here. i don't have much rain except for the fact that we've got to put a chance of rain in here friday, saturday, and sunday at this point. i know that sounds like a lot. it's not going to rain all three days. as we get closer to this time period, we will take days out of this forecast. right now because the models have been so wishy washy, there's a chance here friday, saturday, or sunday. none of them look super impressive. it might have to wait until the next week. we'll keep you updated as we get closer. guys, back to you. >> thank you, darren. coming up next, how lawmakers in sacramento are trying to make it harder for another battery fire like this one at moss landi touches of black. they say a lot without having to say much. they stand for elegance. refinement.

welcome back. in response to that big fire at the battery storage facility at moss landing last week, a state lawmaker has introduced a new bill to try to reduce chances of another one. the bill is sponsored by assembly member don addis and would mandate any future facilities like moss landing be located away from environmentally sensitive areas and 3,000 feet away from any

a parade today for the st. vincent de paul high school football team in petaluma after they won the state championship for a second year in a row. petaluma declared today as st. vincent de paul mustangs varsity football day. a legal battle is brewing at sonoma state university as the school shuts down its athletic programs. student athletes and coaches say they plan to file federal civil rights complaints against the university. they

claim sonoma state's decision to cut all sports disproportionately impacts minority students. the school said it's eliminating the entire athletics department as part of a massive round of layoffs and program cuts. the university is facing nearly $24 million budget deficit. coaches and students say there was no prior warning or engagement before the announcement. >> i live on campus, so i'd already paid for housing. i already paid for tuition. then it's like, well, if i want to play somewhere in the spring, i can't because i just paid for my whole tuition here. >> in addition to the civil rights complaint, attorneys are working on a class action lawsuit against the university. a sonoma state official says the university was forced to make the cuts because enrollment has dropped 38% since 2015. coming up, we're highlighting metallica. they're nominated for another grammy,

>> reporter: this year metallica is competing against spirit box, a canadian heavy metal band. if spirit box wins, its lead vocalist, courtney la plant, will be the first woman to ever win best metal performance. we asked what's that say about metal music? >> i can't wait to hear your answer on that. >> well, no. i think it's important that, you know, women need to be recognized with their metal, too. >> reporter: robert said he hopes she wins, but win or lose, getting the nomination always strikes the right chord. >> and you can watch the grammys right here on cbs news bay area. it all starts at 5:00 next sunday, february 2nd, on kpix or streaming on paramount+. >> i still think it's fascinating they formed 44 years ago and they're still going
