talk about what they're doing in response to the trump crackdown on immigrants. advocates say there's a lot of fear of deportation, but they are working on the front lines we in california have. >> to continue work in unity and people together to protect the well-being of our state in our country's most vulnerable immigrant farmworker communities because if our immigrant workforce and their families are not well safe and thriving, our economy is going to suffer. and so the latino community foundation says that they are committed to protecting and uplifting. >> the latino community. 40 right now and kron 4 is your local election headquarters. could kamala harris be california's next governor? she hasn't said if she intends to run, but there's a new exclusive poll by emerson college and our parent company nexstar media. and it shows that if kamala does choose to iran, a shorter run now should be the front runner by a long

shot. take a look at this. the survey finds harris would have 57% support among registered democrats. and that is a long way over the distant second, which is former u.s. senate candidate for our county congress member katie porter, who would have 9%. but porter also hasn't said publicly whether or not she's going to run. you can see if the race were held today and these we all the candidates that nobody else would come close. plus, they're 17% of the people say they're undecided right now. so there's a long way to go at this point with nobody really saying they're in the race yet. >> i don't think this is a huge surprise. kamala harris obviously has huge name recognition in california. california is still a blue state. things will really change of. harris decided not to run. the poll found that. >> porter would have a double-digit lead. then over anybody else. and also 45% of the respondents in that case

say they would be undecided. not sure what to choose and of the issues. more than 6 in every 10 respondents said the state should be spending more on firefighter staffing and equipment. >> we're going to take a break here in a 42. still ahead on the kron, morning news, we're going to have warrior highlights for you. we'll tell you how they finished off.

to get up to this year to do some skiing and they didn't. yet. they found the pow on the shoulder. >> and they grew in kharkiv are over and you can can put chains on a lamborghini. i don't even think because it's close and right i get so beyond what you would think a verson decides to do that was doing make change for lamborghini's. you're not supposed to take them into snow. if you have a lamborghini and you don't have a four-wheel drive and you're going to you say today's the day i need the private jet or the choppers that i don't know what he was thinking. money way. >> all right. let's get back to the bay area. take a look at this. a giant tree can you see the cross? i better. look, the fire department posted these pictures from skyline boulevard and brady rock way crews got to work to cleared out as quickly as possible. but boy, you never know when trees like that are gonna come down. but when the when the ground, it's a soggy as it has been in the winds. are this strong look at this one happened. martinez and went into a wooden fence there. yeah, that's a big house. yeah. >> take a boulevard. so that was just one of many instances
