city attorney david chu says many of the executive orders that have been issued so far by the president are actually kind of vague. and so he says the city attorney's office is actually combing through them to see how many they may need to file suit against if they even need to. how much of this is just designed to scare people? i think a lot of it is designed to scare people. i think a lot of this is donald trump and his cronies throwing stuff against the wall and seeing what sticks, seeing whether people will actually challenge him. san francisco unified school superintendent maria eshoo says it's clear there's some fear and confusion in the community. she has a simple message for her trans, gay, bi, lesbian and queer students. as you fight your fight, we will fight your fight with you. in san francisco, sergio quintana, nbc, bay area news. also tonight, another directive from president trump the cdc is scrubbing hiv related content from the agency's website. this is all part of the president's broader effort to wipe out diversity, equity and inclusion initiatives across the federal g

're watching san francisco rising the show that's about restarting rebuilding and re imagining our city. i guess today is david chiu, the city attorney for the city and county of san francisco , and he's here today to talk to us about the opioid crisis, reproductive rights and the non citizen voting program. mr chu, welcome to the show. thanks for having me on happy to talk about whatever you want me to talk about, so can we start by explaining the difference between the city attorney's office and the district attorney's office? i think it could be slightly confused. that is a very common fusion with members of the public so um, if you get arrested in san francisco by the san francisco police department, all criminal matters are dealt with by the san francisco district attorney . we handle all civil matters on behalf of the city and county of san francisco. what that means is a number of things. we provide advice and counsel to all actors within city government from our mayor. every me
