moss imported from canada. as part of the growing process, if peat moss prices go up due to tariffs, it could have an impact. >> i imagine if the tariffs on mexico and canada stayed, they would want to probably reciprocate in some form. we would have to look at how it was. >> this is a broccoli field. this is a crop that is currently about 25% less expensive right now if sourced from mexico. but growers say they're receiving more inquiries now from potential domestic buyers, making it worth rotating this crop in here now more than in recent years. >> so they're seeing it as an opportunity to bring some of the crops that we've lost. >> we need stability for our farmers. >> supervisor sylvia arenas represents the south county agricultural communities and is concerned about any possible economic impacts of tariffs, including jobs. >> look at your overhead. you look at what what can you cut. and sometimes it comes to jobs. the people who are actually producing. maybe you're not going to produce as many products as you normally do. >> around the bay area, napa county leads the region with a nearly $900 million agricultural sector, followed by sonoma county, solano county, and santa clara county at 360 million. and nearly every other bay area county has at least some agriculture, including contra costa at $109 million marin county at $94 million, followed by san mateo and alameda counties. >> it's a short term pain. we're hoping for a long term benefit. >> in the end. the consumers may also have to pay. more. >> so in the end, the impact of all these tariffs on the local agricultural economy largely unknown. and once again, the trump administration has delayed some of the most significant tariffs against canada and mexico, the largest trading partners, until april 2nd. reporting live in downtown san jose, i'm mark sayer, ktvu, fox two news. >> happening now oakland police asking the public for its help in locating a teenage girl. police say 16 year old cherish

burgundy hair and brown eyes. she was last seen wearing a black puffy coat, a black shirt and gray sweats. anyone with information about williams's whereabouts is urged to contact oakland police. one of the largest transit agencies in the bay area came to a halt today. vta workers refused to show up for work, instead hitting those picket lines. this coming after months of negotiations between the agency and the union. ktvu is jesse gary live tonight in san jose with more on the story. and jesse. it is still not clear here how long this strike is going to last. >> mike. >> good evening to you. and yes, we at least one more day through the evening tonight, the rush hour, and then of course, into tomorrow, which would be tuesday. you almost don't recognize downtown san jose. you don't hear the rumble of light rail through downtown and across santa clara county. no busses either. this, as vta and its union workers far apart on coming to an agreement on a contract. so no new negotiations or schedule, but they may get together and sit around a table with police investigators. after a violent incident early this morning. cell phone video captures a collision between striking south bay transit workers and a pickup truck, allegedly driven by a vta employee, transit agency officials say. san jose police are investigating. >> it appears that someone jumped onto the pickup truck. the car slowly continued and pulled off to the side of the road in a safe space until the police could arrive. >> shame on you. >> the agency and 1500 members of the amalgamated transit union, atu local 265, are at loggerheads over a contract agreement. union members seek an 18% pay raise over three years, and arbitration of grievances and disciplinary actions. lack of an agreement since last december led to monday's work stoppage. >> it's going to be hard for the members if we don't prepare the members, so fail to prepare your members for what's coming ahead. that's a fail for the union. >> vta brass and mayor matt mehan say the agency can't afford the union's demands, and have countered with a 9% pay raise over three years. >> which really isn't feasible. we've actually seen sales tax revenue decline this year. it's projected to increase only modestly over the next three years, which would be the duration of this contract. >> more than 96,000 daily vta commuters are left stranded without the network of bus and light rail trains. most, like this woman in downtown san jose, say they have few options to get to work and other appointments. >> so the columbia. e. >> i'm from colombia, she says, and i really don't know how to get to work because i'm not familiar with the city. i'm scared. >> given the large number of people involved and the inconvenience, even if it's a couple hours multiplied by that many people is a major loss of time and, and, you know, productivity. >> who are we. >> to you? >> strikers say their heels are dug in and they're prepared for a protracted test of wills. >> that the union has not failed its members. >> vta is open to negotiating to continuing to negotiate. >> but there are no new negotiation sessions scheduled. each side saying they're waiting for the other to pick up the phone and call. also this evening, san jose police investigating that collision on the picket line. they say two people suffered minor injuries. now detectives are trying to figure out exactly what happened. we're live in downtown san jose this evening. jesse gary, ktvu, fox two news. michael, back up the freeway at oakland. and to you. >> all right, jesse, thank you for that. now to a ktvu exclusive. chp investigators were in oakland trying to locate stolen property, but instead uncovered a massive illegal marijuana operation. the site was a warehouse along fifth street visible from 880 ktvu. jana katsuyama shows us what they found inside and why investigators say these operations are dangerous to the public. >> when chp investigators rolled up to this oakland warehouse parking lot along the 1300 block of fifth street, they were looking for two stolen trailers. >> when they arrived. these two trailers are immediately next to a large warehouse, and part of our operation, and our search warrant is to allow us to enter that warehouse and make sure there's not people inside. >> and that's when their cargo theft investigation took an unexpected turn. >> when these investigators made entry into that building, they entered a room with what they believed at the time to be hundreds of marijuana plants. >> inside the warehouse, they found a massive illegal marijuana cultivation operation. the department of cannabis control was called in, and these pictures show how they seized 25,000 cannabis plants valued at more than $20 million. >> the majority of the plants were relatively small because it was likely a clone factory, so it was intended to develop lots of plants for sale to others. >> the cannabis controls commander kevin mcinerney says they also seized two firearms and illegal pesticides. >> no pesticides that are labeled and other than english, are allowed for use in the united states. plus, we don't really know what the pesticides are. >> mcinerney says the illicit market is large, and according to state data, alameda county has been one of the most active sites in the state for illegal cannabis operation busts. >> it completely undermines the legal market, and the legal market provides safe products that have been tested, have been grown safely, organically versus the illicit market where there's heavy metals, pesticides, potential exposure to herbicides. >> the department of cannabis control is also concerned about links to organized crime. >> all we're doing by making purchases from the illicit market is funding more money to the chinese money laundering organizations that launder the money for the mexican cartels. >> the department of cannabis control is investigating whether this marijuana operation had anything to do with those stolen trailers. they say. so far, there have not been any arrests. reporting from oakland jana katsuyama, ktvu, fox two news. >> coming up here

against time to rescue lost hikers in the middle of the night. how officers on board a chp chopper were able to track them down. >> by now, you've heard about the storm heading this way. there's a series of wet systems, but what you haven't seen is the timing, and we'll do that together as the news continues with your bay area forecast right after this brief timeout. stay with us. >> how about one just quick check of that evening commute? a live look outside at the lower east shore 80 rolling through emeryville and berkeley. and we have all seen a lot worse. not bad for a dayy yeah it is

were found last night on a remote trail in big basin redwoods state park. the chp says one of the hikers had contacted the park and provided their gps coordinates when the group was located. a crew member stayed behind to make room for the hikers, who were then flown to an ambulance. the hikers received medical treatment and were released. the martinez police department has released new body cam video of a deadly police shooting. this was back in the year 2023 at a marijuana dispensary. well, police now say after investigating the shooting, three officers have been fired. ktvu henry lee covered that shooting a couple of years ago. he joins us live tonight from just outside the martinez police department. and, henry, when you cover this, the officers weren't fired, but all of a sudden, they've been let go. what's the specific reason here? >> well, these officers were fired not because of any criminal allegations, but because the city says they violated department policy. >> my head. let's go. get him out of me. he needed me. me and me. he's me and me, bro. >> body camera video shows a handcuffed tommy wilson reacting after martinez police officer johnny aroni kneed him in the head after he'd been shot and his brother had been shot and killed by police. minutes later. that same officer then made a disrespectful comment. >> play stupid games with the supervising. >> officer. a former oakland officer has now been fired from martinez police for excessive force, failing to report it and for saying, quote, play stupid games, win stupid prizes. end quote. aroni also hit an illegal knife that had been carried by probationary officer cole bennett. both bennett and a second rookie officer, alexander tirona, have also been let go. >> that conduct is inappropriate. >> martinez mayor brian zorn says she's grateful martinez police chief andrew white and the city manager took action against the officers. >> that's the kind of action by a police officer that really sows the wrong kind of culture that i do not want to see in my city. >> the firings come as state attorney general rob bonta continues to investigate whether the deadly police shooting of tamon wilson was legally justified. authorities say the brothers were trying to break into the velvet cannabis dispensary along sunset drive in august 2023. police say when officers arrived, the two men tried to drive away in an infiniti, hitting an officer. four officers opened fire, killing taman and injuring tommy wilson. the infiniti crashed into a hydrant. >> unfortunately, this is the type of street justice that we see happen far too often and commonly by officers. >> last year, attorney danny pointer filed a federal civil rights lawsuit against martinez police, alleging he was wrongfully killed. >> what i am shocked at was that the officer was actually being held accountable. that is a plus in my book as it relates to evaluating the seriousness of the police chief and the department of rooting out its bad apples. >> now, a third officer who fired his gun is still with the martinez police department. a fourth officer has since died of leukemia. live in martinez. henry lee ktvu, fox two news. >> all right, henry, thank you for that. the los angeles county district attorney says a resentencing hearing will move forward for the menendez brothers, although the da himself does not support it. >> we go through the timeline to show that the menendez have basically engaged in not just the ultimate lie of self-defense, but a whole series of lies around it. and they took actions that were both premeditated and deliberate. >> erik and lyle menendez are each serving two life sentences without the possibility of parole. former la county da george gascon recommended back in october that the brothers be resentenced to 50 years to life for the 1989 killings, which would make them immediately eligible for parole. da nathan hochman has asked for that motion to be withdrawn.

20,000ft. it will become partly to mostly cloudy tonight. those clouds that you just saw in our live weather camera associated with this, this area of low pressure spinning its wheels about 600 miles off the southern california coast, that's going to inundate southern california. but these clouds continue to lift up to the north. this is a system we're concerned with. so let's go ahead and track it together with our futurecast. here we go. tomorrow morning, sun up 726. so we have a hint of some clouds there and over there, but watch as the day progresses. it does begin to cloud up a bit and then overnight into your wednesday morning sun up, you're not going to see it. we have a sloppy, soggy morning commute. but wait, it gets worse. this is the front as it slices through during the afternoon hours between 1 and 6 p.m. that's when we'll see the deteriorating conditions heavy rain, gusty winds, the potential of a thunderstorm at any point of the day and that could contain some small hail. and there you go. we have some hit and miss scattered showers on your thursday. that's when we'll see a bit of a brief break. so a mild tuesday slated followed up with a wet wednesday. we'll continue to track these systems as they move into the bay area. mike that's still in a couple of minutes. >> all right. we'll see you soon. thank you. still ahead tonight. also an emotional plea to the mayor of san francisco. >> no child and no family. no person deserves to sleep on the streets. we need to do something. so i demand that our mayor do something. >> after the break. why? families say they are running out of time to find shelter and are asking city hall to step up. also tonight at 630, the possible tension here between secretary of state marco rubio and key white house adviser elon shop is opening a spin off in san francisco's union square. b patisserie will offer a selection of its pastries in the cafe kiosk at 350 pao. it's expected to open later this month. it was last home to a cafe run by celebrity chef tyler florence, which closed last month. the new bakery has signed a one year lease for the union square location. the owners say they hope to provide a spot where the community can gather and connect tonight. a call for help for from two san francisco families, who say they are set to be evicted from a homeless shelter. as ktvu christien kafton reports tonight, they're calling on san francisco mayor daniel lurie to help them find a better solution. >> families and their supporters gathered at lincoln flynn elementary school in san francisco's mission district, saying that unless there's a last minute miracle, they will be kicked out of their emergency housing as of monday night. maria flores is a single mother from peru raising her eight year old son. she said she's the victim of the city's policy that moves families out of emergency housing after three months. >> estamos aqui con varias madres. >> we are being evicted today at 5 p.m. from saint joseph. i am here with several parents who are also facing eviction. >> the families and their supporters, including educators in the city, say the city's policy is endangering dozens of families facing the same fate. it's a situation educators say they face regularly. >> every single teacher has, on average, about two students that are unhoused or living in shelters, cars, you know, or, you know, overcrowded, one room conditions where they're sharing lots of space, a small space with lots of people. >> in december, san francisco's department of homelessness and supportive housing rolled out reforms aimed at making sure that families in the most dire of circumstances can access emergency shelters and reinstated a covid era 90 day stay limit. but the hhs also said it's committed to making sure that those in emergency housing transition to more stable housing, and said the agency can also extend the stays and emergency housing for 90 more days and even beyond in some circumstances. quote the department of homelessness and supportive housing remains committed to providing temporary shelter while promoting long term housing solutions for families in need. with 300 families on the waiting list for shelter, our shelter policy prioritizes getting families currently in shelter into permanent supportive housing and families on the street into shelter for now. maria flores said that she hopes that there will be a solution to make sure that she and her son can stay in the shelter, at least for now. but she said she knows she's facing a hard deadline. >> we are also being told that if we do not leave, the police will be called and it's very scary not knowing where we're going to go. >> the city says it hopes that its 90 day shelter program and extensions, as well as efforts to move those families into more permanent housing, will help break the cycle of homelessness. now, we did learn late this afternoon that both families that were facing eviction tonight have had their stays extended until april 10th. so for now at least, they have a place to stay in san francisco. christien kafton, ktvu fox two news. >> coming up on ktvu

economic growth and spur a possible recession. the santa clara county farm bureau says it's concerned about the effect of tariffs on its members. some are dependent on canadian imports, including a
