tv   CBS News Bay Area Evening Edition 5pm  CBS  January 27, 2025 5:00pm-5:30pm PST

5:00 pm
action after stunning cuts across the board at sonoma state. from cbs news bay area, this is the evening edition. we're one week into president trump's second term and he's wasted no time implementing his crackdown on immigration. >> good evening. i'm ryan yamamoto. i.c.e. reported making nearly 1,200 arrests today alone and since the election night, we have spoken with schools, farmworkers, and faith leaders. they have emphasized a feeling of fear over the thoughts of i.c.e. agents suddenly showing up and rounding up community members. san jose officials confirm i.c.e. operations did take place over the weekend. agents arrested a colombian national at a target store. mayor matt mahan says police were notified about the operation but says officers did not assist those agents. the rapid response network told us news of the raid is already having a chilling effect. >> so folks called us today worried about going to work, worried about coming to go
5:01 pm
shopping, worried about visiting their families, worried about leaving their house at all. >> i.c.e. released a statement related to an 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 operations officers in the san francisco area of operations are committed to enforcing our nation's immigration laws against violent criminals, sex offenders, and others who pose a threat to public safety." meanwhile amigos de guadalupe is handing out these red cards. they instruct people what to do if immigration authorities question them. it also reminds them they have a constitutional right not to open their doors and to remain silent. our john ramos on how communities are handling the immigration crackdown and how deportation numbers were trending up, even under president biden. >> reporter: no matter how scary
5:02 pm
a situation may be, we can always imagine something scarier and that describes the immigration system these days. >> what we're feeling, hearing is a sense of fear, a climate of anxiety. >> reporter: fear has always been an effective motivator and george galvis with the oakland social justice group courage says the messages from the white house about immigration are having their effect. >> parents are scared to drop off their children to school. people are scared to even access healthcare. we're hearing about our farmworkers here in california are scared to report to work and that crops are not necessarily getting picked and we're hearing about we should anticipate a shortage of food. we should expect a rise in food costs. >> reporter: that's a lot for all of us to fear, but are the i.c.e. raids really happening? the answer is yes, but not as much as some might think. on sunday i.c.e. said it arrested
5:03 pm
nearly 1,000 people across the country, up from the nearly 600 picked up on friday. that would certainly be reason for concern for immigrants, but ironically the data shows far more people were ever deported under presidents obama and biden than during the first trump administration. galvis thinks things may just be getting started and he sees a difference. >> i do think we are going to see increases, but i think it's more of the climate of xenophobia, of intolerance, of hate, that will create a perpetuation of hate crimes. >> reporter: when the president issued a policy prohibiting i.c.e. arrests at schools, it brought the fear to the classroom as well. >> this talk, these threats really have created anxiety amongst our students, families, community members, and staff. >> reporter: dr. adam clark is superintendent of the mount diablo unified school district in east bay. he says no arrests have been attempted at his campuses and they don't have hard data showing how many
5:04 pm
students may be out of school because of fear, but he says the fear does exist and he's doing what he can to make people aware of their policies. >> any officer from any department cannot just walk onto our campuses, flash a badge or give a card and expect to have access to students. we would need some sort of official documentation, specifically a signed warrant from a judge even to start the conversation and so i'm really trying to calm fears and calm anxieties by really just going back to the very strict and clear policies and protocols that we already have in place. >> reporter: there have been reports of i.c.e. interactions that turned out to be false. so even though galvis is concerned where the enforcement is going, he says it's important not to fan the flames of fear. >> we're trying to promote some restraint. don't promote something unless it's actually been confirmed and what we'd like to see is actually video
5:05 pm
and photo documentation and receipts and really some confirmations from several sources before it's something we're sharing. >> reporter: president trump promised deportations in his first term, but those didn't turn out to be as extensive as people expected. now that he's doubling down on the rhetoric, the question is how much will his words be put into action this time? >> let's take a closer look at the numbers. i.c.e. arrests rose dramatically during the biden administration of about 90% in 2024 from the year before. this graphic also shows how many noncitizens with criminal histories have been removed indicated in orange. i.c.e. says about 32% of those arrested did have criminal records. president trump declaring victory after a weekend's face-off with colombia over returned flights of undocumented migrants. the country's president initially said he would not accept the flights, saying the u.s. cannot treat colombian migrants as criminals. that prompted president trump to threaten a travel ban on colombian officials and 25%
5:06 pm
tariffs on imported goods, increasing to 50% in a week. colombia threatened with 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. today president trump was expected to sign a number of military-related executive orders. they include policies for transgender service members, a ban on several dei initiatives, and reinstating service members discharged for refusing to get the covid vaccine. coming up in our next half hour, forget tiktok. a chinese-owned a.i. start-up is causing major concerns on wall street, how the emergence of deepseek fueled a tough day for tech stocks. taking a live look at the state capitol where there's a new bill that could allow people impacted by wildfires to sue oil companies for their role in
5:07 pm
creating climate-related disasters, anne makovec has a closer look at the proposal. >> it would include any disaster related to climate change, including flooding, which, of course, we've seen plenty of around here as well. this bill would allow people who have been victims of climate disasters to seek damages from fossil fuel companies in court. it would also allow insurance companies to sue them with the hope that the companies would do that instead of increasing everyone's premium. that includes the state's fair plan, which is in danger of running out of money. state senator wiener offered the bill saying oil companies knew their product would lead to climate disasters and that they suppressed the science. >> the fossil fuel industry has endless resources. profits continue to just spiral and spiral into the stratosphere and we are left holding the bag. >> so the bill is facing an
5:08 pm
uphill battles. the chair of the california republican party saying democrats would find a way to blame oil companies for the sky being blue if they thoughts they could get away with it. the western states petroleum association says it is the latest installment of an ongoing effort to scapegoat the industry and the thousands of hard working men and women who keep california running for political gain while complex problems continue to go unsolved. meantime in southern california there are concerns about mudslides and toxics debris in those burn zones. the epa has been removing hazardous material from the fire zone. then property owners have two options, contract with an approved debris removal company or wait for the army corps of engineers to do it for free. they're also worried about the weather and we heard from one couple who came back to check on their burned out home during a break in the rain. >> to check that this whole thing is still real and see what
5:09 pm
the rain might have done to the hillsides in back of our house. >> and we're happy to have it here because we need the rain, but obviously we don't want torrential stuff and there are lots of people who are using the bags. >> it is a muddy mess in much of the pacific palisades and topanga canyon. a little bit of rain was enough to loosen hillsides sending mud and rocks down to the roadways below. let's get over to chief meteorologist paul heggen with the outlook down in l.a. >> things are trending in the right direction. while they've still seen off-and-on showers throughout the day, the heavier rain has been moving out, the showers on the floor map gradually pushing farther east and the leftover sprinkles won't be on the map a lot longer. we've seen things trend in a better direction and overall while there were a couple problems with debris flows and mudslides here and there, this was a beneficial
5:10 pm
rain event for southern california. let's talk about rain chances through this week which in southern california there really aren't any. there's an outside chance of a sprinkle or two tomorrow night. otherwise the rain chances are essentially zero for the southern half of the state, but that's not the case around the bay area and northern california. we'll look at how much rain we're looking at through the last days of january into early february coming up in the full forecast. >> thanks, paul. join us at cbs news bay area tomorrow on instagram as we host an instathon partnering with american red cross helping those impacted by the california wildfires. follow to us donate all day any time on redcross.org/cbs. in vallejo the police department is getting a boost from the chp to help put a stop to sideshows and reckless driving. the chp will send in additional officers to support vallejo pd in multiple weekend operations every month. back in september governor newsom signed four new bills giving law enforcement more tools to fight
5:11 pm
sideshows and increase penalties for offenders. last month a vallejo woman started a petition, calling on the state to send the chp in, citing increased property crime and slow police response. classes have been canceled at least for a week at a vallejo school after police say a copper theft caused significant damage to the school's electrical systems. this happened at solano wiedeman leadership academy over the weekend. the theft was discovered saturday morning by staff hosting a basketball competition. >> it's been tough, but we also know we have to move forward and we have to do what's right for our families and our community. so we've tried as quickly as possible to organize and figure out what to do next. >> repairs are expected to take about a week, but if the closure extends, the district will arrange to move its nearly 600 kindergartners through eighth grade students to other schools. still ahead, the legal battle brewing at sonoma state
5:12 pm
after the school announced it was cutting all its sports programs. plus, president trump's administration banning the cdc from all contact with the world health organization. could that affect the fight against growing outbreaks like bird flu? how the bay area is paying tribute to the millions of people murdered in the holocaust.

5:15 pm
teams, but now sonoma state university coaches and players are taking on their own school. >> the biggest call to action i've ever had in my life. if i had to fight anytime, it has to be now. >> reporter: sophomore taylor hodges plays on the soccer team. she and other student athletes of color will file a civil rights complaint against sonoma state, claiming the university's decision to cut all sports disproportionately hurts minority students. some of the coaches plan to file a separate civil rights complaint. >> 50% of the athletic population is of minority students. so i feel like that affects us in a really disproportionate way. >> reporter: on wednesday sonoma state officials announced they'll cut all 11 athletic programs, lay off dozens of faculty, and slash several majors for the upcoming academic year. >> we're fighting because not only is it wrong, it doesn't pencil out, and i think it will damage the university moving forward. who wants to go to a university that has no athletics? >> reporter: in addition to the civil rights complaint, attorneys are working on a class
5:16 pm
action lawsuit against the university. the university announced the cuts the second day of the spring semester. coaches and students say no prior warning or engagement. >> i live on campus. so i'd already paid for housing. i already paid for tuition and 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. i have to stay here. >> reporter: the men's soccer head coach marcus zemer spent 39 years at sonoma state, three as a player, 36 as a coach. >> i broke down talking to my wife. it's super emotional. you don't know how hard i worked for this program and to find out from a student i'm done was pretty heartwrenching. >> reporter: he found out through this text message from a player. the university sent out a mass email about the cuts. they didn't have the guts to look me, a 36 year employee face to face and say, "marcus, we're so sorry, but we have to cut athletics." but whatever they want to say. i think i deserve that. >> reporter: at least 100
5:17 pm
student athletes have already entered the ncaa division ii transfer portal, with more expected to follow. >> our whole team is going to enter the transfer portal this coming week. >> reporter: a sonoma state official says the university was forced to make the cuts because enrollment has dropped 30's% since 2015. the university is facing a $24 million budget deficit for the upcoming school year, but hodges believes there are other solutions to the deficit. she and fellow seawolves are not going down without a fight. >> i have a responsibility to speak up, especially for those who don't want to, and i feel like i can make an impactful difference. >> reporter: coaches and students say they'll follow the class action lawsuit and complaints very soon, likely within the next couple weeks. i'm told those pro bono attorneys are drafting the documents now and those attorneys are actually sonoma state alumni, some of them former student athletes here.

5:19 pm
the public viewing until friday. switching gears and, man, a chance, chance or actually we're going to get some rain this weekend? >> we are likely to see rain in parts of the bay area this weekend, a better chance for the entire bay area just beyond the scope of the seven-day forecast, but things are trending in a better direction to get some much needed rainfall as we head into early february. let's look at futurecast, big picture perspective, thursday through wednesday next week, and a parade of systems will send a good chance of showers to the north coast, heavier rainfall there, with rain and snow making its way into the pacific northwest. in terms of the area of wide rain, likely tuesday and wednesday next week for the entire bay area to get in on the action. we'll take a closer look momentarily. first, let's look outside and see what we're dealing with this monday evening, nice start to the workweek today and still clear skies now, better air quality thanks to the change in air mass that kicked in over the weekend
5:20 pm
of temperatures now, 50s and 60s, 55 degrees in san francisco to 60 degrees in concord, san jose, and santa rosa, but with clear skies and light winds and a light offshore wind pushing the marine influence away from the coast, we'll see temperatures dropping off pretty effectively through tonight ending up with a lot of 30s by early tomorrow morning, even in the santa clara valley temperatures dipping down to the upper 30s in san jose, 32 morgan hill. the warmest spots, a mix of upper 30s and low 40s around the bay and along the coast, down to 30 degrees in livermore, a couple degrees below freezing, 31 degrees in fairfield and petaluma, right at freezing in both santa rosa and healdsburg by tomorrow morning. despite that chilly start, we are going to warm up pretty effectively as well, the dry air heating up as the sun comes up, low 60s in the north bay valleys, the exception along the coast where temperatures only reach the mid-50s, upper 50s for san francisco, temperatures reaching up into the mid-60s on the warm
5:21 pm
end in san jose. pretty similar temperatures are in store for us heading into wednesday and thursday and then more cloud cover starts to arrive friday. there are some differences, though, in the long range forecast models in terms of our specific rain chances. let's look at the rain chart. at best, we're looking at about a 50/50 chance of showers beginning late friday continuing saturday into sunday and monday. it's not a higher chance because the way things are set up. the farther north you go it's a much better rain chance and the farther south you go not much more than a couple sprinkles. really nothing to speak of in the santa clara valley. in the southern half of the bay area, just a few hundredths inch of an rain. farther north about a half inch of rain in napa, over three-quarters inch in santa rosa. it's one version of one forecast model, so there will be fluctuation to these specific numbers, but the pattern conforms to what all the long
5:22 pm
range data is saying. the farther north you go, the better performance in terms of bringing precipitation into the region, talking several inches of rain for the north coast and over an inch of rain expected over the course of the weekend and early next week around chico. farther down the line we'll see a better chance of rain in the bay area. we're talking about showers possible on the back half of the seven-day outlook. we'll bring the shower chance in late friday and showers become possible at least for the northern half of the bay area saturday, sunday, and monday. enjoy the dry weather the next few days, temperatures pretty close to normal the last days of january. that will be the case going into early february, too. >> haven't seen shows shower tubes in quite some time. >> we had a few showers over the weekends, but they didn't amount to much more than a few hundredths of an inch. >> they were just cute. we need the real stuff. thanks, paul. when we come back, one of
