the aclu wants a judge to rule on whether these separations were justified. there is no comment from the justice department. . a time when tensions are high, two bay area professors are offering a few moments of joy. they set up three bright pink sea saws at the border barrier between new mexico and mexico. the professors came up with the concept 10 years ago. it became a reality reality this week as children are playing with the teeter totters on both sides of the border. >>> let's see what sal is doing. you are watching the roads. >> off to a nice start dave and pam. traffic in gilroy, for example, driving in from gilroy to san jose looks pretty good on highway 1:01 holster area or any areas, the freeways look pretty good with no major issues. traffic is moving well up to the silicon valley, no problems from the east bay commute. this is the time when people get up early and hit the road because it is going to be light at the bay bridge. it's a light delay before you make it onto the span. today's weather, let's bring in steve paulson. a little activity in

>> so, he's done incredible work, as has the aclu and many others. it's a legitimate point.e actually started to see that the day after the election in november of 2016. the number of families where the children did not want to go to school for fear if they came back, their parents would not be home. the number of families what did not send their child to the pediatrician, pediatricians were talking about this, because the fear that the child and the family would have contact with the government. we have seen this over and over again. what we are seeing from then until today is constant displays of the fact that this administration and this president -- he is in the business of intimidating and instilling fear in peer. and in particular, those people he perceives to be vulnerable. i look at this through the lens of my career as a prosecutor. i'm going to tell you, rachel, the best tool in the tool belt of the predator against an undocumented immigrant is to convince that victim that if you report the crime against you, rape, child assault, fraud, it is you who will be treate

that was last year, according to the aclu it's still happening today.e're going to bling in danny cevallos. >>> plus, is kim jong-un trying to put the pressure on the trump administration once again? those stories and more, and a check on your weather when we come back. the weather's perfect... family is all together and we switched to geico; saved money on our boat insurance. how could it get any better than this? dad, i just caught a goldfish! there's no goldfish in this lake. whoa! it's pure gold. we're gonna be rich... we're gonna be rich! it only gets better when you switch and save with geico. so, every day, we put our latest technology and unrivaled network to work. the united states postal service makes more e-commerce deliveries to homes than anyone else in the country. e-commerce deliveries to homes but in my mind i'm still 25. that's why i take osteo bi-flex, to keep me moving the way i was made to. it nourishes and strengthens my joints for the long term. osteo bi-flex. find our coupon in sunday's paper. >>> welcome back. the american civil

by liberal aclu . i want to ask more about third country asylum rule that president has instituted. you know you have to apply in the country you pass through. not coming to united states and then applying three weeks later you vanish. average illegal immigrant is here 15 years. is this an effective solution. >> it will be very, as long as we can get it through the court system, the president secured an agreement with mexican government that any of his predecessors would have loved to have but they did not have the political will to make it happen. president trump did. you have safety country rules, this will descrop numbe drop thf people crossing the border illegally, he is doing this systematically, and single handedly causing that drop to happen at border, we applaud him for that, we have to have the help to abate this crisis. gregg: other problem is lawless american law enforcement. and i point your attention to the i.c.e. report, individuals arrested for suspected crimes, they were serious crimes,

years was the aclu is vowing to fight the plan as is dianne feinstein. meantime freshman democratic congress member alexandria ocasio cortez says if democrats win back the senate and the white house she has an idea on how to investigate the separation of families at the us border. >> the 9/11 commission were charged with investigating and making sure they dug up every nook and cranny of what happened and how it happened in our system and that kind of study is what is going to be required in order to reunify as many children with their parents as possible but that is the work we have to do. >> reporter: ocasio cortez made the widely disputed claim that migrants being held in detention centers were drinking out of toilets, she quoted the emergency aid border bill and supported a boycott of a company providing beds for children being held at the border. another member of the squad is stoking the feud with donald trump. representative ilhan omar says

the aclu applauds the sheriff for the changes but says he did not go far enough. vic lee, abc7 news. >> all right. thank you very much. a fire that broke out near interstate 780 in solano county is now 50% contained. it burned more than 180 acres. chp says traffic was not going to be affected. cal fire is calling this the marshview fire. it started off marsh view and lopes road. chp says it looks like a power pole caught fire and burned a structure light control panel. fire danger could rise everywhere this weekend right along with the temperatures. abc7 news meteorologist drew tuma is here with that. >> we're tracking even warmer weather headed our way for saturday and sunday. we'll take you to the fire. it is hot, dry, just a recipe for any fires that start to spread quickly. humidity bone dry at 1%. we're at 92 degrees around the fire. and winds out of the west blowing at about 13 miles per hour. running 10 to 15 degrees warmer than yesterday. it is hot out there. it's only going to get hot they are weekend. high pressure will flex its muscle saturday afternoon

. >>> the aclu is challenging the trump administraon's reasons for separating migrant children at the border saying the government has done this to more than 900 children since june of 2018 more than half of those separa e w ed were under 10 years old and 185 were 5 or younger. what's even more alarming are the justification ppz these separations often triggered for mething as minor as a parent not changing a baby's diaper or a traffic citativi for dring without a license. earlier thisonthcting homeland security secretary kevin mcaleenan said the separations were made only in thofe interests the child but the aclu wants to ensure that this happens only if there is evidence that the child is in genuine danger >>> family and friends gathered for an emotional vigil in gilroy, california to remember 13-year-old keyla salazar, who was killed during the mass shooting ougat the garlic festil >> we think it's important that the community knows who keyla is and how important she is for us. she was our motivation and we're in pain that we lost>> her. keyla was remembered for being kind, noble,

even the aclu is sort of out of step with where activist culture is at william and mary i believe twoears ago a member of the aclu attempted to speak to students and a group of activists to students associated with the local black lives matter group shot the woman speech down. they talked over her to prevent it from happening. ... >> and then there would be a talk of how the mental health of the entire campus nobody could go to classes. so this is the survey of the problems that i describe in my book and different activist groups being active over the last ten years. their goals are but to keep it without getting too hyper or specific i will briefly talk about the trends linking the groups and contributing to them with these tactics specifically at university of michigan and they were where murray was supposed to speak in a prevented him from speaking. and i would say things and that you look very sensitive or foolish for thinking you cannot even be allowed to speak and what they told me over and over again with the research i did with this book if you let someone speak to makes peopl

respond to something from an aclu former aclu attorney who wrote this on jack walton's blog and i want your response as well. ordinary public accommodation laws regulate routine economics, buying and selling of goods which is not generally -- anti-bds statutes, a key form expression with political boycotts because of its message. you address the broader point but i want to nail down this idea that isn't there a difference between boycotting an individual american citizen for their sexual preference, their gender, their race, their religion and boycotting a country which happens all the time? certainly i am sure i think there ought to be more boycotts of iran or china. >> there is a question whether there should or shouldn't be and another question could the government regulate it. i want to say something important about these laws. these laws are not about boycotts of the state of israel. these are boycotts as the laws themselves say, persons or companies doing business in the state of israel and territories under its control so because of that characteristic, under the laws people are

tonight the aclu is challenging the position.he arguments are neither valid nor in that best interest standard. arguing the government systematically separating large numbers of families, highly dubious allegations of unfitness and errors in identifying bona fide parent/child relationships. the aclu says the government has done this more than 900 times in the past year, which includes separating babies and toddlers by their parents. i'm joined now by the attorney arguing this very case, deputy director of the aclu immigrants' rights project. >> thanks for having me. >> what is this case about? >> so this is an extension of our original case. we were in court last summer, as you know, trying to stop the family separation policy. we stopped it. we got an injunction. now we find out that the government is still doing it. that's what's shocking. 185 under 5. the government tells us we're doing it for the children's own safety because the parent has a criminal history. very serious crimes, abuse of a child, what we get back or traffic

the refusal to deal all with the antidiscrimination law called into question passing these laws the aclu say it is different but here it is politically motivated before bo caught on - - boycotting for a reason and there's two things to say about that. second is the distinction but most of it is pressure to boycott israel and then to contemplate with that political agenda whatsoever and they say so. it is inherently true but in the arab world as we see orange telecom or because the pressure for the ngos but more important, it is not a distinction. but because one boycotts on the basis of sexual orientation. i find what they do problematic in their political positions problematic that does not help at all that does not preclude the application of those state laws. is indeed all of these boycotts the supreme court has clearly held that simply choosing not to do business is not speech because as many reasons maybe you're just not interested in their business. if you have to have a special explanation why you're not doing business that one of these so even a very informed observer knowing tha

meanwhile, the aclu filed. >> they are denying people the right to attorneys should there be arrests on a sunday. we filed this federal lawsuit. this federal lawsuit is currently pending. >> in berkeley, there was an immigrants rights alley and ensure that they will not help i.c.e. agents. >> we are a sanctuary city. our policy is that our police will not cooperate in any way in any i.c.e. enforcement action. >> reporter: this comes a day after mike pence toured a border facility in mcallen, texas. this room was skrik as smelling like urine and feces. more than 300 men were packed into a holding pen. they said they hadn't bathed in weeks. vice president pence praised agents there. >> every person i spoke to said they were being well car on capitol hill. they are doing their level best to provide compassion and care. >> reporter: he also talked to mothers with children in custody. in the bay area, immigrant immigrants have been trying to make sure thatpl their right if agents show up at their door this weekend. >> part of what we are doing is educating our community. >> reporter: toni

the aclu, not so pleased. they said -- >> the sierra club, which sued to block the wall claiming it would hurt wildlife and the environment. also planning to fight on. shannon? >> shannon: thanks, trace. so democrats on the house judiciary committee are pushing ahead with investigating the president tonight. chairman jerry nadler laying out the plan despite the largely anti-climatic mueller hearings. >> we're hearing one democrat sound the alarm bells on impeachment. not that it muscle happen or the president is a threat to america but that impeachment is a threat to the democratic majority in the house. take a look to congressman jeff van drew from new jersey, a freshman congressman that flipped a red district blue in 2018. >> you think the seats like yours are in danger in the democrats move towards impeachment? >> absolutely. i don't know that mine is -- i was fortunate. i won by a good number more votes than many of the other ones did. folks have to realize that it was middle democrats, middle of the road

joining me now is the lead attorney in the family lawsuit, department director of the aclu.hat's going on here, lee gelernt. >> the judge laid out a conception consistent of the way we handle welfare cases around the country. the child is an imminent danger of the parent. you separate the child. we accesaid to the judge, of co we want the child separated. we find out from the government's own record that more than 900 children have been separated since the court's injunction and the government driven a truck through the exceptions that is we are going to separate for any criminal history even traffic violations as you said misdemeanors and theft defenses. can you imagine in the united states every parent lost their child if they communicated some traffic offense or misdemeanor offense years ago? >> and in fact their examples of a one-year-old child separated because the parent, the child was recovering from illness and they wanted to let her sleep instead of waking her to change her diaper. the female guard took his daughter out of his arms. the man had no other criminal his

in attacking these laws, they aclu says this is different.ere is a politically motivated refusal to deal. people are boycotting israeli companies for a reason. there are two things to say about that. first of all, it's not true, and secondly, it is not a distinction. as we said, most of the companies pressure to boycott have no explicit or implicit political agenda whatsoever, and they say so. so it is not true that boycotting is inherently political. it can be done to win favor in world, as was said at a hot like at the current chamber of commerce. or because of pressure from ofineers as in the case airbnb. more important, it's not a distinction, because we know it is not a defense to be made ineligible for federal and state contracts because one boycotts people on the basis of sexual orientation, to say i have an ideological boss, i find their political positions problematic. that doesn't help at all. that does not preclude the application of those state laws. all of these boycotts are sometimes ideological and sometimes not. has held thatu

so will the aclu file a suit here? >> we've already filed a suit. >> will you continue -- >> we have a pending motion in the lawsuit we filed to permanently prevent the administration from adding a citizenship question based on their repeated representations that june 30th was the, quote, drop debt date anywhere changes to the census questionnaire. so that motion is going to be heard in federal court in about a week and a half. there's pending proceedings in the federal court in maryland about whether or not this attempt by the administration was motivated by a desire to weaken the political influence of hispanic communities. yes, i think if the administration does, in fact, come forward with a new decision, trump adding a citizenship question you'll see more action by the aclu. >> i appreciate you coming on to talk about that breaking news with us. we'll check back with you later this afternoon. we think the president will make this announcement sometime later in the afternoon after that social media summit at the whi

liz: the aclu out with a comment. the president may claim victory but this is nothing short of a humiliating defeat for him. his plans for using that data it says will be closely scrutinized. the aclu says nothing about what the president is saying. the president is saying the american people deserve a better government and how it operates. it deserves information sharing between the different agencies to be better. the president's executive action order is saying federal agencies must gather all record about non-citizens and share it with the commerce department. this is a game change. this is revolutionary. >> i'm not surprised the aclu -- i'm not surprised to see these various left-wing groups and democrats saying they are going to fight back against what is a logical move on trump's part and increases transparency. this is what the democrats have been doing since inauguration day. resist, resist, resist. but i have to think that reasonable americans on both sides of the aisle see what's going on. the more democrat

the aclu saying this is not over. and the separation of powers will be permanently harmed should trump get away with pillaging military funds for a xena phobic border wall. will they win ultimately this case on the merits? >> glad you brought that up. a lot of the press seems to think this is a definitive ruling. it is not. it is just saying the trump administration continuous plans but the litigation is still going to go forward. this is not a binding decision on whether trump will be able to do it. the president does have legal authority to transfer the money once there is a national emergency declared to building the border wall but that is going to have to be decided by the supreme court. they tried to block the transfer, and in the supreme court, the issue. >> the ninth circuit for an expedited consideration. in the middle of the 2020 election. >> they will get expedited consideration. i agree with john. the supreme court decision, the court will rule for the administration but not on the argument john made. they

the aclu is seeking a hearing on the issue tomorrow in san francisco. the new rules went into effect yesterday and prevent most migrants from seeking protection as refugees if they passed through another country first. we are continuing to monitor aftershocks and anticipating maybe another earthquake after a magnitude 4.3 quake shook parts of contra costa county yesterday. >> here is a map that shows where it was felt, widespread in the bay area, all the way to the north. some people as far south as san jose felt it. "today in the bay's" t"''s"''s'n is live in blackhawk. >> reporter: the last time this fault line had a sizeable earthquake was back in 1980, that was a 5.8 magnitude. this was centered about six miles east of where we are in blackhawk right now. it's on the greenville fault line, which stretches from livermore to the diablo range, about 44 miles in total. three smaller aftershocks followed that main quake. despite all the seismic activity, though, usgs geophysicist tells "today in the bay" this is all normal scientifically speaking, but it

but if executive action is announced, what is the aclu's responses? >> we'll be back in court. obviously we want to see what he does. but we'll be back in court. the supreme court has already said the reasons they've given previously were contrived. i think it's going to be more con strived and the census is part of the whole anti-immigrant agenda. fortunately the supreme court put a stop to it initially. we'll see what the president does this time. but i think it will be more con strived than initially. >> what do you make of on the threatened happening raids over the -- coming this weekend with "the new york times" reporting that there's going to be these collateral deportations with these raids, that authorities may detain immigrants who are just on the scene that aren't actually the targets of the raids? i mean, what does that really mean? >> right. i think it means that they're just going to sweep in any central american they can find who are living with these families. and one of the things people should know is if they're claiming a lot of these people didn't show up for

the aclu applauds them but says they don't go far enough. vic lee, abc 7 news. >> vic, thanks. >>> what's being considered one of the largest demonstrations of native hawaiians in modern history includes protests here in the bay area. one side is calling it a project that will revolutionize the understanding of the universe and the other says it's desecrati desecrating sacred land. it's over a 30 millimeter telescope on the big island of hawaii. protests are happening all over the country. kris reyes was in palo alto today where a group confronted one of the project's biggest funder funders. >> we're not against science. we're not against the telescope. we think it's great, just not on our land. hawaiians are willing to give their life for this. >> reporter: the road to the summit was blocked by native hawaiians, so far dozen haves been arrested, many of them the community's elders. >> that's our beginning. that's what became, what started the hawaiian islands and that is going to have to last us until the last hawaiian. >> i wanted them to

. >>> "the san diego union tribune" reports the aclu admits the trump administration has separated moren 900 migrant children from their parents at the u.s./mexico border. that is despite an order by a federal judge last summer to end the practice. families can still be separated if a parent is charged with a crime, but the aclu says the administration is abusing their discretion as to what is an unfit parent or danger to children. the justice department did not immediately respond to a request for comment. >>> "the indianapolis star" reports that the body of notorious gangster john dillinger is expected to be exhumed from an indiana cemet y cemetery. in 1934 dillinger was reportedly shot and killed by fbi agents outside of a theater in chicago. there have been conspiracy theories surrounding his death. some say it wasn't dillinger killed outside of that theater but instead a dub. the indiana state department of health accepted a question by his nephew to have the body exhumed in september and have it reburied. >>> "variety" says cardi b canceled a concert in p indianapolis last night l

now, the aclu says more than 900 children have been separated from their families at the border since the 2018 court order limiting the proximate practice. that includes 678 children whose parents face the negligence of criminal conduct, the aclu says about one in every five kids separated is under the age of five. >>> the first wave of democratic presidential hopefuls hits the stage tonight, that is for the second debate, joe biden is bouncing back to his previous lead in the polls. in the latest survey, he leads the field with 34% of support. senator elizabeth warren has 50% backing, kamala harris 12%, and an bernie sanders at 11%. nearly every candidate took shots at biden during the first debate, including harris who called them out for the voting record on issues related to race. this time, biden says he will not hold back. >> i was probably overly polite. and the way i didn't respond. >> my mother raised me to be to to be polite. i intend to be polite. >> biden and harris take the stage night two of the debates which is tomorrow. >>> present's pick to be the next vice chairman f

i wonder what the aclu thinks about that. lucky for us, president of the new york civil rights coalition and former aclu national vice president michael myers is here with his reaction. you just heard talking about the need for a muslim reform movement that speaks truth to power, on what's really happening with the propaganda of the islamists and now she wants surveillance of certain white male groups. >> yet. it is unbelievable, and a sheer she doesn't even the american history. she doesn't even though minnesota history. some of the greatest white men in the civil rights and equality movement where white man! hubert humphrey! look it up! and walter mondale! read the name and the law school there! walter mondale, the great liberal white! they were looking for racial equality! they didn't believe in racial rhetoric, they didn't believe in racial separatism, they believed in equality. yet they believe in immigration, but immigrants wanted to enrich america, not take advantage of it. not to scapegoat it. we are in a situation wh

the aclu wants a judge to rule on whether separations were justified.ent yet from the justice department. >>> at a time when tensions over immigration are so high, two bay area professors put this together. a few moments of joy here. they set up three new bright pink sea saws at the border seesaws at the border barrier between new mexico and mexico and came up with this idea 10 years ago and it became real this week. the kids are playing with the seesaws on both sides of the border. >>> let's check in with sal for a look at traffic. any problems we should know about? >> there are slow spots. for the most part, it's nice, nice and quiet. there are just a couple of things i will let you know. let's go to gilroy and talk about the super commute and the traffic is moving along well. if you are driving from gilroy to san jose or farther than that, it's not much of a delay at all. there is just a little bit of slowing in morgan hill, that's about it. there have been no issues in san jose and traffic continues to look good on the east bay commute. southbound 6

so the numbers do add up to what the aclu said.eeks when any family that systematically, they were separating any family crossed the border illegally during the six weeks, called a zero tolerance policy. so you take 2,800 over six weeks, 900 over a year. yes, it's gone down. the real question is how strict they following this criteria? that it is only a matter of that would it endanger the child's life. >> what are the rules? what does the parent have to be doing that's egregious for the law to say we'll separate you. >> we've been told, if they think the child could be a victim of child abuse or the parent has to go face federal charges because they've committed a serious crime like drug trafficking or affiliation with a gang. even in the united states, if you're facing a serious crime, if you're taken into custody, the government takes custody of your child. but it is really troubling. what they want from this judge, they want the judge to ask, what are your criteria? to try to be more transplant parent? could it be someone accus

when the aclu came out to do that, in my opinion, it's damaging.very people they are pretty much trying to protect, mainly because you have this human trafficking aspect no one is really talking about anymore. attempts to bait the entire nation into making it a racial topic when in actuality, enforcing your sovereignty of a nation within its borders, whether it's mexico or the united states, is well within the rights of the country and its people. charles: do you think that's why according to a report in reuters, there was a survey done in the republican party since this brouhaha started, and apparently president trump's approval rating amongst members in the party rose by five percentage points, that republicans are seeing this in a different way than is being messaged by the democrats and the media? >> absolutely. i think what's happening now is you are seeing the american people as well as members of our government realizing that these four select women that are supposed to be standing up and representing not only the women of our nation, but am

the aclu has already vowed to challenge the rule in court. it would deny asylum to any migrant who failed to apply for protection in another country they passed through on the way to the u.s. border, including children traveling alone. if enacted, it would effectively block people from honduras, el salvador, guatemala, and other countries from seeking refuge in the united states. trump announced the plan without guatemala and mexico's agreement. president trump doubled down monday on his attacks against four progressive congresswomenen of color, saying, "if you're not happy here, you can leave." he was widely condemned for a tweet sunday that told the congressmembers to "go back and help fix the totally broken and crime infested places from which they came." the tweets were aimed at congressmembers ayanna pressley, alexandria ocasio-cortez, rashida tlaib, and ilhan omar -- all of whom are u.s. citizens. the four congresswomen spoke out at a news conference on this is monday. ayanna pressley of massachusetts. >> despite the octave but of the w

what can the aclu do. know you're trying hard to defend children's rights and other rights of families that have been separated. you're spread pretty thin. >> i think that we just need to keep fighting back. i mean, we have brought more suits than we've ever had just in the immigration area, just out of our national affiliates. we have won many suits. i think we need to keep fighting back. we can't get tired. we need to get people's rights defended in court, but also the public i think needs to be out there expressing outrage the way they did last summer over family separation. i mean, part of it is the concrete aspect of different porting families. the other is just the terror that's going through these communities now. i mean, can you imagine a 5-year-old boy going to school and wondering if his parents are going to be there when he comes back. a lot of these families have u.s. citizen children. they're going to be left all alone if their parents are deported. so we just don't understand why this adminis
