joining us now is san jose mayor matt mahan. mayor mahan, nice to have you back on the program. we're talking about prop 36. we know this is a big deal to you. from your words and your actions, we know statewide you are talking about in in favor of this. is it worth it for you politically to go against governor newsom on this? yeah. to me, this is not about the politics. it's about what our community needs. this is a big deal for our city because we've faced years of growing homelessness, retail theft, untreated addiction. these issues are intertwined. we see it every day on our streets. that's why over 70% of californians support proposition 36, because it intervenes in a way that is realistic and effective, but also compassionate. it compels people to get the treatment they need, even when they're struggling with addiction to a very addictive substance like fentanyl or meth. we have to break that cycle, intervene and get people into treatment and protect the broader community. you've come across a lot as a fiscally responsible guy, governor newsom saying in terms of prop 36, h

el alcalde de san josé matt mahan dijo que torres ha perdido el respeto y confianza de la comunidad,que estaba enfermo, pero esa junta llegó solo unos días después de que la policía anunciara que estaba siendo investigado por acusaciones de conducta sexual inapropiada con un menor de edad. de acuerdo a los estatutos de la ciudad, después de 5 ausencias sin excusa, podría ser removido de su puesto. pero el consejo decidió hoy aceptar su excusa por la última junta que faltó. getting some insight from the city attorney. matt mahan dijo que después de escuchar de la fiscal municipal de la ciudad, no está interesado en litigar si estaba enfermo o no hace 2 semanas. las acusaciones en contra de torres se dieron a conocer cuando torres reportó a la policía que estaba siendo extorsionado por un hombre con el que había mantenido una relación. investigadores están tratando de determinar si el presunto extorsionista era menor de edad cuando empezó la relación. además, la declaración jurada muestra mensajes de texto cuando torres presuntamente habló de actos sexuales con un menor de edad residen

well, mayor matt mahan is certainly putting that option out there. mehan and city council want torres to step down. he has not done so. torres missed his second consecutive city council meeting today. mehan says they can't remove him from office right now, but they are taking away his responsibilities. i believe councilor torres is holding his seat hostage and denying representation to the 100,000 residents of district three. at today's san jose city council meeting, it was clear many want councilman omar torres to step down. the council taking action, voting to strip him from his committee assignments and assign them to other council members based on what he has said in his own words. that's reported out via the affidavit. i think he's lost the trust and respect of the community that he was elected to represent. torres once again, a no show at tonight's meeting, the second one in a row he's missed. two weeks ago, he said he was sick. but that meeting came just days after police announced torres was being criminally investigated over accusations of s

bueno, esta fue una moción que puso en la mesa el mismo alcalde matt mahan, y lo que hizo fue citar lasticiones para que renuncie a su cargo. así que en la reunión de esta tarde, de forma unánime, el consejo de la ciudad de san josé votó para quitarle algunas de sus funciones, en específico 13 de sus funciones, que incluyen su papel en comités juntas y también comisiones. una vez más, el puesto del concejal omar torres estuvo vacío. esta es la segunda ocasión consecutiva en el que el representante del distrito 3 se ausenta de las reuniones del consejo de la ciudad desde que el pasado tres de octubre se hiciera público que está siendo investigado por presunta conducta sexual inapropiada con un menor de edad. omar towers khanna omar torres no puede representarnos con todos los problemas personales que tiene en este momento, dijo esta dueña de negocio, que es una de las constituyentes representadas por torres. ella explica. por eso este martes salió del trabajo para venir a comentar en la reunión del consejo de la ciudad, quienes decidieron aceptar la excusa por enfermedad que dio el conce

now we're going to be joined by san jose mayor matt mahan.is here with us live during kron for news at noon today. so we can talk about some of the >> bigger issues facing the city. mayor, thank you so much for joining us. thanks for having well, first, i want to start with the ongoing investigation involving one of the san jose council members. can you confirm with us that omar torres was detained and served with a search warrant in connection to a criminal investigation involving sexually explicit material and then alleged relationship with a minor. >> all i can really say at this time is that there's an ongoing investigation. we have to let our san jose pd detectives do their jobs. it's not my job to speculate or be involved in that. that is their responsibility. they will carry out that investigation when our police department has more information. i'm confident that they will bring that forward as soon as they will all learn more. will. we >> he says that he was wrongfully detained and that this claim about misconduct is baseless. to thi

earlier today we heard what san jose mayor matt mahan has to say about the investigation. >> earlier today we talked to san jose mayor matt mahan about the investigation and this is what he had to say. >> i think we have to let an active investigation play out. i have a practice as as many of us do in elected office, not commenting on ongoing investigations because the reality is we don't have all the want get the facts and then we can interpret them. >> all right. and we are also working to get more details about the investigation will certainly keep you updated on air and online tonight we're learning details about that bomb threat at the oakland arena last night. hundreds of people. >> inside and around the arena were held where they are for a few hours. police say the threat came in around 7 o'clock last night. it halted traffic at the arena and on nearby 8.80, has tons of people are trying to get to the hans zimmer concert. the oakland arena posted updates on social media and they started letting carson people attending the concert into the venue around 10 o'clock. 2 hours after

mayor matt mahan saying today while torres hasn't been charged, the councilman has lost the faith of his colleagues and his constituents to do the job. here's nbc bay area's audrey asistio. new calls for san jose city council member omar torres to resign. mayor matt mahan and every other member of the council are now calling for him to step down, saying public officials have a higher standard to meet to effectively lead. he doesn't deny that he wrote the things that he wrote and they are incredibly disturbing. i was sick to my stomach reading the affidavit. whatever the reason, and there's a there's a criminal proceeding and due process and an ongoing investigation that i really can't weigh in on. what i do know is that the community has lost faith. torres is being investigated for possible sexual misconduct involving minors after first going to police about two weeks ago to report he was being blackmailed by someone, he had a relationship with in the past. the investigation turned toward torres when the alleged extortionist claimed a relationship with torres started when he was a mi

san jose mayor matt mahan briefly addressed the situation. all i'm able to say at this time is that this is an ongoing investigation, and we have to let our detectives do their jobs. i know our police department is working incredibly hard to find the truth. in a statement provided by torres, he says the case is based on misinformation provided to police by someone that he filed a complaint against for stalking and extortion. torres maintains he did nothing wrong. we are reaching one year since the october 7th hamas attack against israel, and tonight an alert from the fbi. the anniversary could lead to violence aimed at large gatherings. now, to be clear, there is no credible threat to the bay area at this time. but it does come as many groups already have planned events to mark the day. nbc bay area's gia vang is in san francisco. nearly a year later, and the fighting between israel and hamas hasn't stopped with more death imminent. more than 1200 have been killed in israel since hamas attacked on october 7th, and in palestine, a soaring deat

matt mahan has joined the chorus. also, we continue our investigation of oakland crime stoppers. the reason a widow claims that active homicide cases are being impacted because crime stoppers can't pay tipsters, and big tech is pouring a lot of money into nuclear power. how companies believe it's needed to achieve their ai goals. welcome back to the news at 530 starts right now. thanks so much for joining us. i'm janelle wang and i'm audrey asistio. it is time to resign. that is the very direct message today from san jose's mayor and nine city council members to councilman omar torres. torres is being investigated for allegations of sexual misconduct involving a minor. while torres hasn't been charged, the mayor believes he's lost the faith of his colleagues and his constituents to do the job. here's nbc bay area's robert honda. reporter well, the mayor says he was getting a lot of pressure from community leaders, people in omar torres downtown district asking when torres would be asked to resign. and that day came today. many believe the call for omar torres to resign was inevit

mayor matt mahan explained why, after consultation with the city attorney. i unfortunately don't feel that it's in the city's best interest to litigate whether or not he was sick on a single day two weeks ago as as a one off. but that being said, he needs to resign. we've called on him to resign. he's holding a seat hostage. torres maintains he was out sick, but he hasn't attended any meetings since the investigation was announced. matt mahan said if he continues to be absent, the council could take up the issue again. it is worth noting that at this point, the councilman has not been arrested, nor has he been charged with a crime. they went door to door in the mission district of san francisco. the district attorney and a new police captain hit the streets to talk about the concerns and solutions in one of the city's most diverse areas. nbc's thom jensen was there. reporter. good evening. the idea behind this was to meet face to face with merchants, so they get a real idea of what's really troubling them, whether it's crime, graffiti or other issues that's

mayor matt mahan says, of course, he would like to extend this to all schools in the city, but that will take money for signage and for enforcement. and it will also take time. and perhaps it will take a little persuasion from more young people in san jose. kris sanchez, nbc, bay area news, i would imagine. all right. thank you very much, chris. new details from oakland police as they investigate a break at a cannabis dispensary. a break in there, all centering around the dispensary along lakeshore boulevard. police now say at least one vehicle used in the break in rammed into the building, allowing multiple people to gain access to it. the group managed to take off with several items before fleeing the scene. so far, no arrests have been made. also new overnight this may hit a little too close to home for some a's fans, but while you were sleeping, a legendary las vegas hotel reduced to rubble. yeah, spectacular implosion there. took down the tropicana resort on the las vegas strip. so this happened at 230 this morning. drone video showing the fireworks show leading up to the implosion,

that included mayor matt mahan, who explained his vote after consultation with the city attorney. i unfortunately don't feel that it's in the city's best interest to litigate whether or not he was sick on a single day, two weeks ago as as a one off. but that being said, he needs to resign. we've called on him to resign. he's holding a seat hostage. however, the mayor said if torres misses multiple meetings, the issue could be revisited. our calls and texts to torres attorney today were not returned. ian cull nbc bay area news. ian. thank you. charges will not be filed against a woman who police say arranged a date and then ended up robbing him. investigators say the man first met the woman on facebook, then agreed to meet her in person last thursday at a parking lot on hillsdale boulevard. he told police his date threatened his life, forced him to drive to a gas station in san carlos to withdraw $300 from the atm. she then made him drive back to san mateo, where she walked away with the cash. she was arrested the next day, but the san mateo county district attorney has decided not

several bay area mayors, including san francisco's london breed and san jose's matt mahan, support this measure, arguing that it will help reduce retail crime by mandating that drug addicted individuals committing crimes get help. here's what mayor matt mahan said, quote, we see that we have an epidemic of unaddressed, untreated addiction. the answer is treatment. so let's go in depth tonight on prop 36. and welcome to the show, tanisha hollins. the executive director of californians for safety and justice. really a real pleasure to meet you, tanisha. you are also a crime survivor, but you are opposed to proposition 36. tell me why. >> primarily because prop 36 doesn't offer any real solutions to crime or to the addiction crisis. i just thought about the statement that a mayor mehan made about needing treatment right now, and unfortunately, prop 36 does not increase access to treatment. it doesn't increase access to support for people. in fact, it does the exact opposite. it will defund the programs that we rely on right now. >> but doesn't it give judges more latitude when it comes to

and today, mayor matt mahan and every other member of the council called for him to quit. nbc bay area's robert honda joins us from city hall. robert, you've been working on this story today talking to a number of people out there. what are you learning? well, you know, today's call for torres to resign was one that many predicted was coming after recent court documents provided troubling details about the allegations. now, this investigation with torres began about two weeks ago, when torres approached police to say he was being blackmailed by someone he had a relationship with. but as the investigation unfolded, police began gathering evidence. the relationship involved a minor and investigators began focusing on torres. now, a search warrant affidavit then outlined numerous graphic text messages discussing sex with a minor allegedly written by torres. today, mayor matt mahan said while torres is innocent until proven guilty, he has lost support at city hall and in the community. i believe, and my council colleagues believe that it's time for him to resign. painful. this

mayor matt mahan and the city council have called on torres to resign on tuesday.ed him of his committee assignments. residents and business owners in torres district now question whether he can effectively represent them. there's nobody representing the district. you know, and i don't you know, it's hard to say whether what kind of votes are going on that that we're not being represented right now. we need representation for district three. and i definitely believe that he, mr. omar thomas, cannot represent us. in the memo, torres says his office will remain fully operational. his office also sent this newsletter out to neighbors today, assuring them torres team is still present in its mission to serve the district three community. it's unclear if the city council will approve torres request for a leave of absence in san jose. jocelyn moran, nbc, bay area news. also in san jose, some tense moments in this neighborhood, but tonight it is back to normal after a police lockdown following a robbery. it all started this afternoon around 130 near quimby road and east ca

mayor matt mahan was at city hall today, but says he's limited in what he can say because of the ongoing police investigation. >> we have to let our detectives do their jobs. i know our police department is working incredibly hard to find the truth, and once there's more information, our police department will be able to share it at that time. >> at a city hall news conference about parks, san jose mayor matt mahan stuck to the limited comments script concerning council member omar torres. thursday, san jose police confirming a criminal investigation of the district three representative. published reports say the investigation centers on child sexual abuse material. >> you never want to find yourself in this circumstance and that's why people who do chat like this online are subject to being extorted. and that's what he's saying. >> published reports say torres sought online sexually explicit images of a minor. police detectives issued a search warrant for his electronic devices and passcodes. torres says he complied and has since dropped out of public view. other council members have de

mayor matt mahan says it's important the city move forward. the reality is he's not doing his job. he's not showing up to meetings. he hasn't been to a meeting since the allegations first surfaced over two weeks ago. and so it's time to move on. we have all called on him to resign, thus far, he has not heeded that request. we reached out to torres attorney, who told us his client maintains his innocence and declined to comment on the council's recent decision. city documents show council members are paid a salary of $169,000 a year. now, with torres not attending council meetings and not reporting to commissions and committees, some constituents wonder what he is doing. in the meantime. other council members have been assigned to fill torres spot on city committees, and mehan says his office is stepping up to serve the 100,000 constituents in district three. it's important to note at this point, councilman torres has not been arrested or charged with any crimes. mehan says the council really has only two options for those who want to replace torres. he must resign or be recalled. w

san jose mayor matt mahan also opposes prop 33. he believes an expansion of rent control will actually make it harder on low income families. study after study has shown that while rent control can stabilize the folks who are lucky enough to be covered by it, it decreases investment in new housing, which is the single greatest need we have when it comes to affordability. we also want to stay in the building and not end up on the streets. sanford cobb is hopeful that prop 33 would bring relief for her and other renters, making it safe to check the mailbox again. joe rosado jr. one step up and then you take three steps back. nbc, bay area news. santa clara county investing in students, bringing in a national tutoring program to bring more kids up to reading level. the county and the city of san jose together will invest $160,000 into a tutoring program called ignite. it's run by teach for america and will provide reading and math tutoring for 80 local third grade students at high at need, at schools in nee, like r.f. kennedy elementa
