now. >> thank you. for a second straight day i.c.e. agents are busy making arrests in the bay area. we go along with the volunteers who are keeping people informed about enforcement activity in the south bay. >> this is targeting areas and specific individuals, but they are showing full force on the east side of san jose. >> they are some of the first to respond to reports of people being detained, what the rapid response network is telling us about recent arrests sparking anxiety and how they're keeping people informed about their rights. plus, a vallejo school in the dark, forced to shut down after a copper theft rendered their power grid useless, what we're learning about the impact to hundreds of students. >> the youngest members of our community are the ones being affected and they had no role in this. you know, they can't go to school now. >> reporter: and wet weather could cause more issues for fire
6:01 pm
victims in southern california. >> i'm past the emotional jarringness of seeing the complete devastation. >> how they're coping with rainstorms in the burn zones after weeks of firestorms. this is cbs news bay area with juliette goodrich. >> good evening. communities in the bay area are on high alert as i.c.e. agents conduct operations across the country. in san jose an immigrants rights group confirms there was another i.c.e. raid today and it is the second confirmed action in two days. as len ramirez reports, the heightened enforcement actions are being monitored by volunteers who are part of a rapid response network. >> reporter: well, in these two latest i.c.e. incidents in san jose, members of the rapid response network did respond out to the scene of the people being detained, but they didn't go there to interfere with i.c.e. their job is to make sure the people being detained know their
6:02 pm
rights and to share that information of what's happening with the rest of the community. from her desk at the amigos de guadalupe service center, marianna logs i.c.e. activity and dispatches rapid response network volunteers to the locations of reported i.c.e. operations. the latest was this morning in the 2300 block of warfield way in san jose. the incident was later confirmed and photos of a white van with federal license plates were sent to the community. >> they did see vehicles with federal license plates. they stent us some photos of those vehicles and we were able to confirm that it was an i.c.e. operation that occurred a couple streets away from the shopping center where we know one person was detained this morning. >> reporter: she says it's the second straight day of an individual being arrested by i.c.e. in san jose. on sunday
6:03 pm
the network was alerted to this arrest in the target parking lot at story and king. a volunteer shot this video which apparently shows a man in handcuffs surrounded by agents. city officials reported the man arrested was a colombian national. >> this was exactly what the rapid response network was built for, to be able to effectively respond to alerts of i.c.e. activity in the community. >> reporter: jeremy baros is a member of the network who gets text alerts and is dispatched to check out reports of i.c.e. activity. >> what we are seeing right now is targeted enforcement. we aren't seeing large scale raids. >> reporter: he says community members are fearful of any i.c.e. activity under the new administration, but so far what's happening doesn't appear to be part of the threatened mass deportations. >> these are individuals. i.c.e. is looking for specific individuals. >> reporter: the mayor said,
6:04 pm
"sjpd does not assist or participate in these operations. i sincerely hope i.c.e. remains focused on enforcement actions related to violent and serious criminals harming our city, not neighbors who are contributing and law abiding members of our community." the rapid response network says the recent activity has prompted a spike in the number of calls from people afraid and seeking legal answers about their status and rights. >> mayor mahan says the police department does get a heads up about enforcement operations, but san jose officers do not work with i.c.e. agents. >> the actions yesterday appeared to be very targeted. we certainly had operations like this under the biden administration and previous administrations. my general view is if you are in our city or country and you're undocumented and committed serious or violent crimes, you should be deported. i don't think that's very controversial. >> so we did hear from i.c.e. about a guatemalan national who was recently arrested in sacramento. the man was convicted of lewd acts with a
6:05 pm
minor. i.c.e. said 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. again, deportations are nothing new. so here is a look at the number of removals. this is since 2019. last year the biden administration deported more than 270,000 people. that number is more than 2019, which was during trump's first term. it is too early to predict what this year's numbers will look like, but i.c.e. reported it has made 1,100 immigration arrests today alone. during the biden administration i.c.e. made an average of 300 arrests a day. president trump is expected to sign executive orders focused on the military. one would pave the way for a missile defense
6:06 pm
system like israel's iron dome. another could change the policy for transgender service members, also expected, a ban on diversity, equity, and inclusion programs at the pentagon and the president is expected to sign an order reinstating troops dismissed after refusing to get the covid vaccine. back here in the bay area, solano county school forced to cancel classes today after a reported copper theft left them without power. anne makovec joining me now with all the details. >> i'm sure the kids were happy to be out of school, but the reason really is unfortunate and they could be out of school nearly a week as the school repairs the electrical system. the district sent a message to parents saying the theft was discovered saturday morning. staff hosting a basketball competition arrived at the school to find the power cut. there were signs somebody stripped the wires of their copper, which can be valuable even sold as scrap. so classes
6:07 pm
were canceled indefinitely for the nearly 600 k through eighth grade students. >> it's disheartening this happened. the heaviness, we are all feeling it. this shouldn't have happened. the youngest members of our community are the ones affected. >> repair work has already begun. the district thinks classes can resume at the school in a week and they say if the power is still out at that point, they'll find somewhere else to use as a temporary school until it's fixed. they'll keep parents and students updated through emails and on social media. >> there's still homework. thank you so much. on to oakland where police are investigating a deadly shooting at a sideshow on east 12th street and ninth avenue just before 8:00 last night. police say three people who were shot showed up at the hospital on their own. one of them died at the hospital. the other two are in stable condition. police have not said what led up to the gunfire or if there have been
6:08 pm
any arrests. today somber ceremonies around the world and here in the bay area to remark holocaust remembrance day in. san francisco this morning the american jewish committee, jewish family and children services, lit candles in honor of the more than 6 million jews killed during world war ii. >> it's a very scary time and it's especially important for us to remember never to forget the horrors of anti-semitism and bigotry and hatred and what that can create. >> this year marks 80 years since the liberation of auschwitz at the end of world war ii. on to los angeles county, mud and rockslide warnings have been issued to those living in altadena and malibu and flash flood warnings are in impact near areas impacted by the franklin fire in december and the recent palisades fire. because of burn scars, rain
6:09 pm
isn't easily absorbed and pools and causes flash flooding. crews were out clearing debris to mitigate the damage. before debris clearance can actually work, the epa su sites are clear of any toxins. michele gile is in the palisades with the latest. >> reporter: teams from the environmental protection agency have begun clearinghouse hold hazardous materials and dangerous lithium ion batteries from the palisades fire zone. it's the first step in a massive task to remove debris from thousands of burned out properties. >> critically important. lithium ion batteries aren't always consumed during wildfire events. we learned this lesson in maui. we expect to have and our reconnaissance is indicating we have a large amount of lithium ion batteries up in the burn areas. so we need to bring those back because of the danger they present. >> reporter: the epa is warning people who are coming back home sifting through ashes to use extreme caution because of what could be beneath the rubble. not
6:10 pm
only do electric and hybrid vehicles contain lithium and ion batteries, but so do household items like electric bikes, digital cameras, wheelchairs, home alarms, tablets and power schools. there could be spontaneous reignition, explosions, and emission of toxic gases. phillip found some treasures at his home in the palisades but decided to stop after we told him about the potential risk. >> i honestly didn't equate they would be here for me. i was like i don't think there's downed wires. the gas is turned off. this seems safe. poked around. the floor is gone beyond the dirt, but i'm going to stop now. >> reporter: once the epa has removed the hazardous waste, the army corps of engineers will move in and clear up the rest of the debris. it is up to the property owner to sign an access form available this week in order for the corps to do the work. >> so that process effectively will be an election of the property owner to either opt in
6:11 pm
or out of the federal program. if you opt out, all responsibility, cost, contracting, timelines, certification permitting done through l.a. county public works is on the resident. that's opting out. you opt into the federal program, there is no that is performed by the army corps of engineers. a new california bill could allow people impacted by wildfires to sue oil companies for their role in creating climate-related disasters. state senator scott wiener authored the bill. he said oil companies knew their products 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 then we are left holding the bag in terms of paying for these disasters. >> so the bill is getting some backlash. the chair of the california republican party
6:12 pm
posted today that democrats would find a way to blame oil companies for the sky being blue if they thought they could get away with it. the proposed bill would also allow insurance companies to sue fossil fuel companies with the hope that they would do that instead of increasing everyone's premiums. that includes the state's fair plan, which is in danger of running out of money after the fires in l.a. so what happens next for those without insurance? tonight's newly relaunched cbs evening news is taking a deeper look at that tonight and mark strassmann has a preview. >> reporter: here in the los angeles fire wreckage, another disaster is now smoldering, people who are uninsured or underinsured and face staggering losses. i'm mark strassmann and that's our "eye on america" on tonight's cbs evening news. >> join us at cbs news bay area tomorrow on instagram as we host an instathon, partnering with the american red cross helping those impacted by the california wildfires. follow us to donate
6:13 pm
all day anytime on redcross.org/cbs. still ahead, sonoma state announced the end to its sports programs and student athletes are fighting back. >> the biggest call to action i've ever had in my life. if i had to fight anytime, it has to be now. >> a closer look at the legal battle brewing and why some argue the cuts are not necessary. also, they're legends in the world of rock and roll, but they had their humble beginnings here in the bay area. we look at metallica's grammy nomination and what the award would mean - man, i need some serious help with this health insurance stuff. - check out covered california. it's a free service from the state that helps you get health insurance. millions of people have used it. - wait, for real? - mmm hmm, they even offer financial help to lower the cost. - nooo... how you know about all this? - that's how i got my insurance. i got a great plan for about $10 dollars a month. - okay, i see you. - if you've got questions, covered california can help, every step of the way.
6:16 pm
a grassroots organization is calling on the cal state board of trustees at sonoma university to stop plans to cut its athletics department. the school said it settling sports and other departments as it faces a nearly $24 million budget deficit. the group save seawolves athletics argue the cuts aren't the right answer and will harm the student body. in a statement save seawolves athletics says, "we know there are serious issues that need to be addressed, but we believe the answers do not lie in top-down decisions from a detached leadership. the only way forward is from a bottom-up approach where every stakeholder is valued and heard." meantime
6:17 pm
student athletes and coaches filed a federal civil rights complaint. they claim the decision to cut all sports disproportionately impacts minority students, 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 and then it's like 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 the university was forced to make the cuts. the grammys are happening sunday and the bay area's legendary rock group metallica will be hoping to add another trophy to its stacked collection and they say the nomination this year is about more than just an award. ♪ metallica is

6:19 pm
all kinds of causes and if there's a disaster somewhere, they're going to be there to help. >> on the red carpet bassist robert trujillo stopped by with his wife chloe. as to how the bay area scene influenced metallica's music? >> bay area scene was welcoming and accepting of people that maybe were a little bit creatively below the radar and not following any particular trend and one of the things with bay area thrash metal was it was very centric to that area and that region. >> this year metallica is competing against spirit box, a canadian heavy metal band. if spirit box wins, its lead vocal list, courtney la plant, will be the first woman to ever win best metal performance. we asked robert what's that say about metal music, which historically has been so male-dominated? >> i can't wait to hear your answer on that.

i'm not happy with the way that pg&e handled the wildfires. yeah. yeah. i totally, totally understand. we're adding a ton of sensors. as soon as something comes in contact with the power line, it'll turn off so that there's not a risk that it's gonna fall to the ground and start a fire. okay. and i want you to be able to feel the improvements. we've been able to reduce wildfire risk from our equipment by over 90%. that's something i want to believe. [skateboard sounds]

time for a check of the forecast, a storm system over the weekend brought some very light rain showers to the bay area and more substantial rain to southern california, but that storm system is now moving out. cloud-free conditions are returning to the west coast. you can clearly see the lights of the bay area and southern california, no cloud cover at the moment in nighttime mode on the satellite view. the next couple days clear skies prevail before we see changes late this week. now clear skies looking out over san jose, temperatures retreating down to the 50s across the board, 50 in livermore to a warm spot of 56 degrees in san jose, but with clear skies and light offshore
