future, not everyone's getting that message. >> they're hunting down immigrants in our communities as if they were animals. >> we're sorting out the facts as we know them, giving context to the numbers, and asking a local republican about what's ahead. >> this moment in time is just going to make us -- bring us back to some more common sense and pragmatic ideas. >> this is cbs news bay area with elizabeth cook. >> i'm anne makovec. president trump has been in office for one week. it's been a bit of a wild ride so far from immigration to presidential pardons. today we're talking with a local republican leader to see if the president is delivering on what his party has wanted. we'll have that conversation coming up in a few minutes. first a look at some of your news headlines. the mayor of san jose confirming there was an i.c.e. operation in his city over the weekend. immigration activists say i.c.e. agents picked up a colombian national at a target store near story and
4:31 pm
king roads. mayor matt mahan says police were notified about that operation but says officers did not assist those agents. so far i.c.e. has not responded to requests for comments on this incident, but they did release a statement relates to the arrest of a guatemalan national in sacramento who was convicted of lewd acts with a minor, i.c.e. saying in part, "enforcement and removal operation officers in the san francisco area are committed to enforcing our nation's immigration laws against violent criminals, sex offenders, and others who pose a threat to public safety." in oakland police investigating a deadly shooting at a sideshow that happened on east 12th street by ninth avenue just before 8:00 last night. police say a total of three people had been shot, one of them killed. the other two are recovering at the hospital. police have not said what led up to that shooting, nor if anybody has been arresd.today in san fr jewish community gathered to mark 80 years since the liberation of auschwitz. they
4:32 pm
came together at the legion of honor for this remembrance day commemoration to pay tribute to the 6 million jews killed by the nazis during world war ii. [ speaking in a global language ] >> the event also featured songs and lighting of candles to honor the lives lost. let's take a look at our first alert weather now. we've had the sunny days and chilly nights and sounds like we could be getting rain. meteorologist zoe mintz is back. >> yes. i'm back to bring good news. that rain is on the way later this week and early next week. we finally, finally are getting those promising signals of rain on the way, but today hope you got out and enjoyed yourself, blue skies and sunshine all across the bay area, little to nothing to worry about for any outdoor plans this
4:33 pm
afternoon or evening. overnight tonight it's going to get chilly. it's wintertime. it is what we expect this time of year, but we are going to notice our temperatures dipping down overnight. you'll see the darker and deeper blues making their way in, especially for our more inland locations. temperatures early tomorrow morning are going to be sitting in the mid- to upper 30s for most of our inland bay area communities, might even be down to 32 degrees down near morgan hill, where we do actually have -- let me turn this on so i can go in front of my indicators -- we do have chillier temperatures. making up near 32 degrees means the potential for a bit of frost which is why if i show you, we have widespread frost advisories and freeze warnings in effect for further south. it kind of depends where you're located, but everybody will likely see a chilly morning start except for us here in san francisco and closer to the coast. by tomorrow afternoon we are going to see temperatures warming up once again. tomorrow will be kind of a rinse and
4:34 pm
repeat of today, plenty of sunshine, offshore winds, temperatures remaining seasonable, a degree or two within average, if not above average, especially down the santa clara valley, but pattern changes are on the way and will arrive as soon as later this week. let's look at the big picture pattern to show you our chances for rain over the next couple days as a high pressure system is sitting directly over the bay area. it's really interesting. you can see the high pressure just by the lack of rain. look at the curve around that area of high pressure across the west coast of the united states. it's keeping it away from us until friday. friday is going to be a much better potential of seeing a little activity, but look at the location. it's across the northern parts of california, so northern half of the bay area definitely seeing better possible of a little bit more wetting rainfall friday, but it's not just friday, into saturday, sunday, monday,
4:35 pm
tuesday, and even wednesday. we are looking at multiple rounds of rain on the way. so likely going to be seeing this wet pattern sticking around into early next week. that is really great news. it's not just a one and done and most of us at least in the north bay will get in on it. south bay communities on friday and saturday, you might be left in the dust as again, it's going to be a northern system that is going to be making its way across the bay area. right now, though, blue skies, sunshine, gorgeous temperatures, upper 50s, if not mid- to lower 60s. as we're looking at that offshore wind, a bit of moisture down in southern california, great news for them. as this storm system departs, we'll be looking at a little fog and cloud coverage wednesday into thursday, but by late thursday and friday, the most moisture will arrive and late friday into saturday, that's when the better potential of more widespread rain will arrive all across the bay area. it's such great news that we have finally rain on the horizon because we have not seen a seven-day forecast that has looked this exciting in quite a
4:36 pm
while, since the beginning of the month. we've barely seen any sort of rain. we have three more days to get through if you want to get out and about and enjoy yourself, any outdoor plans you might have, tomorrow, wednesday, thursday, all beautiful days. late thursday into friday, though, cloud coverage will arrive and late friday into saturday the rain will arrive and then rounds of rain will continue into early next week, likely through wednesday. again, great news as we step out over the next couple days and i'll have more details on that rain as we get focused on the exact timing coming up in a bit. back to you. >> the heads up has officially been given. thank you. president trump has been focused on immigration and is declaring victory in a face-off he just had with the country of colombia. he also said today he'll sign new executive orders related to the military. erika brown has the latest from washington. >> reporter: anne, the new
4:37 pm
executive orders could reshape the military and impact thousands of service members. they come after secretary of defense pete hegseth's promise to bring cultural changes to the pentagon. secretary of defense pete hegseth arrived at the pentagon monday for his first full day on the job and promised to move swiftly, implementing president trump's agenda. >> our job is lethality and readiness in war fighting. we'll hold people accountable. >> reporter: during his comments hegseth previewed some of the latest military orders president trump is expected to sign. they include policies for transgender service members, a ban on several diversity, equity, and inclusion initiatives, and reinstating service members discharged for refusing to get the covid vaccine. the president is also expected to sign an executive order building an iron dome missile defense shield for the united states, similar to israel's iron dome shield. on the immigration front, president trump is declaring victory after a weekend standoff with colombia over return flights of
4:38 pm
undocumented migrants. the country's president initially said he wouldn't accept the flights, saying the u.s. cannot treat colombian migrants as criminals. that prompted president trump to threaten a travel ban on colombian government officials and 25% tariffs on imported goods, increasing to 50% in a week. colombia threatened tariffs of its own, but ultimately backed down. >> sends a message to other countries that the president means what he says and that he is going to deliver punishment if countries don't cooperate. >> reporter: with immigration crackdown operations ramping up across the country, immigration and customs enforcement reported nearly 1,000 arrests sunday. the colombian government's agreement to accept repatriation flights avoids tariffs that would have been a major blow to their economy and could have impacted exports of coffee, fresh cut flowers, and crude oil to the united states. >> thanks. we want to get down to some of the numbers, some perspective. this is on the
4:39 pm
immigration issue. these are numbers from i.c.e. year over year. there were more removals last year under the biden administration than at least the past six years. the numbers dropped in 2021, as officers focused on immigrants with serious criminal convictions. here is a look at how many noncitizens with criminal histories have been removed from the country over the past few years. last year i.c.e. says about 32% of them had criminal records. a fraction is indicated in orange in that graph on your screen. the fear surrounding possible immigration crackdowns has led to some false alarms. on thursday a false report of an i.c.e. agent boarding a muni bus in san francisco spread rapidly on social media with posts dating it as fact. the mayor's office confirmed there were no federal enforcement agents on the bus, but the office says they are aware of the concerns. we talked to the founding director of the immigration and deportation defense clinic and he's urging caution. >> when mr. trump talked about
4:40 pm
mass deportation of 10 to 12 million folks, there's no capacity to do that. there's no resource. there's not enough detention centers, not enough immigration judges. they can't do that. >> i.c.e. says it takes many factors into account when targeting and arresting people, including their criminal and immigration history. vice president j.d. vance talked to "face the nation" in his first interview since taking office. coming up, what he had to say about the flurry of executive orders and their plan to bring down grocery prices. also, a political shake-up in a historic san francisco neighborhood, why some people
4:41 pm
4:42 pm
we are one week into president trump's second term and it has been a flurry of
4:43 pm
activity. he shut down dei office programs across the government, removed at least 20 state department officials in leadership roles, and sent home 160 staffers with the national security council while the administration reviews their staffing. over the weekend vice president j.d. vance appeared on "face the nation." he spoke with margaret brennan about the executive orders that the trump administration has already put into place. so during the presidential campaign president trump vowed to lower consumer prices and the vice president was pressed on whether or not they are keeping that campaign promise. >> prices are going to come down, but it's going to take a little bit of time, right? we're going to work with congress. we'll, of course, have more executive orders. one of the main drivers of increased prices under the biden administration is that we had a massive increase in energy prices. >> vice president vance says lowering energy prices will help
4:44 pm
lower consumer costs. there is a political shift in the city of san francisco. the aapi community is ushering in the year of the snake and as our john ramos shows us, lunar new year is bringing a bit of a change of attitude downtown in chien chinatown. >> i come out. i walk around in san francisco chinatown every day. >> reporter: winky toy has lived in san francisco's chinatown for 45 years and she 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 the 80s, 90-year-old, 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
4:45 pm
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. all my friends have changed. so i'm not surprised. >> reporter: nancy yu law owns a couple businesses, including this gift shop. she stuck it out
4:46 pm
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 really 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 with them. >> reporter: 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 know known as the rows pac asian american club, removing the word democratic from its name." >> so i can see there's a tremendous, you know, attitude
4:47 pm
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. >> the san francisco democratic party gave us a statement saying, "the party always welcomes democrats from across the political spectrum to form a chartered club. the rose pak club will always have that opportunity if they change their minds." also want to mention, we talked about having a leader of the local republican party here on the broadcast to talk about some of president trump's recent orders. unfortunately, he's having technical difficulties. so we won't be able to bring that to you today. more to come, though. we'll be right back.
