heap when it comes to talent. absolutely. okay. hav a great weekend a nd los angeles to see the scope of the damage from the series of deadly wildfires that have scorched the region. also ahead, an inside look at the rapid response network rallying to protect the rights of undocumented immigrants across california. [music] >> from ktvu. fox two news this is the four. >> developing right now. governor newsom greeting president trump on the tarmac in los angeles. and the two men traveled together to tour the communities that were devastated by those wildfires. welcome to the for everyone. i'm frank mallicoat, the visit following the president's comments made earlier today in which he suggested withholding emergency federal aid from those fire ravaged communities unless governor newsom makes several unrelated policy changes. ktvu

4:01 pm

jana katsuyama joins us live with developing news right now from our newsroom. jenna. >> frank, the president and governor newsom were extremely cordial when they met in l.a. we saw them talking briefly away from the cameras. they then walked over together to answer some questions from the media on the tarmac. there had been a lot of tension leading up to this moment, and a lot of anticipation about whether they plan to work together. >> we have that. we're looking to get something completed, and the way you get it completed is to work together. he's the governor of the state, and we're going to get it completed. they're going to need a lot of federal help. we're going to need your help. you were there for us during covid. i don't forget that. and i have all the expectations that we'll be able to work together to get the speedy recovery. >> that conciliatory tone was much different from some of the rhetoric earlier in the day, and the week when the two seemed at odds over whether federal aid might come to california with

4:02 pm

strings attached. on friday, president trump suggested that federal aid might be conditional on california changing policies on water and voter ids. >> in california. i have a condition in california. we want them to have voter id so the people have a voice, because right now, the people don't have a voice because you don't know who's voting. >> california governor gavin newsom, who defended california policies during the first trump administration, quickly replied with this post. newsom said, quote, conditioning aid for american citizens is wrong. fact under current california law, you must be a california resident and u.s. citizen and provide id. president trump also blamed state water policy for not providing sufficient water to l.a, causing fire hydrant problems during the l.a. fires. >> if they released the water when i told them to, because i told them to do it seven years ago, if they would have done it, you wouldn't have had the problem that you had. you might have you might not have even had a fire. >> l.a. officials say that claim is false. and the cause was that

4:03 pm

the massive fires drained local water storage faster than they could be replenished. >> the state water project has nothing to do with water supplies. it relates to water suppression for municipal systems. the state reservoirs are at or near record highs. >> trump also took aim at fema. >> i think we're going to recommend that fema go away and we pay directly. we pay a percentage to the state, but the state should fix this. >> president trump is now on his way to a fire command center in los angeles. we saw the los angeles mayor there, and the president is expected to meet with them shortly. we will have that coming up later in the 5 p.m. newscast, along with a former fema official, about what support fema provides that could be difficult for the states to replace. >> frank and jenna, i understand the president's trip to southern california is rather quick because he's off to las vegas. is that right? later tonight. >> that is our understanding.

4:04 pm

although he was a little bit late getting to los angeles, so it's a little bit unclear as to exactly how the schedule is going to be going here on out. but certainly governor newsom thanked him for at least coming to southern california to see with his own eyes what the needs are here for federal or federal state cooperation. >> okay. very good. jana katsuyama in our newsroom. and we're going to take a quick look right now because governor newsom and president trump are out in the fire zone right now, presumably, probably pacific palisades. we're not exactly sure, but and we're losing our camera shot there. but the president has obviously left the airport there and is now touring that fire zone. let's get a check now on how things stand with the wildfires. currently. the most recent fire that started near camarillo in ventura county on thursday is now 70% contained after burning 94 acres. evacuation orders have been lifted, but some warning signs remain in effect. a

4:05 pm

shelter is open at camarillo community center for those who needed assistance. as for the biggest fires, palisades fires burned over 23,000 acres. it is 77% contained. the eaton fire in altadena at 14,000 acres now 95% contained, and the hughes fire near castaic lake has burned 10,000 acres and it's 56% contained. residents are now bracing, though, for mudslides. >> we had mudslides last year when we had all the rain. without all the fire and the devastation. so yeah, i am kind of concerned about that. >> crews are busy installing concrete k-rails to try to keep the water and the mudflows from moving onto the pacific coast highway and other roadways for more now on the weather conditions fueling those fires, we're joined by rosemary oroczo and some much needed rain, but that may cause some issues too, i guess. right? >> you're right, frank, we can

4:06 pm

see both sides of the coin, so to speak, right? giving you a view here of the system that is developing, dropping out of the north and bringing a little bit of wet weather to the bay area, but even a little bit more to southern california. let's go to the futurecast model. and this trough eventually turns into a cut off low there. by tomorrow afternoon you can see the counterclockwise motion just kind of parked right over the bay area. then it begins to shift farther south, and by sunday afternoon, it's parked off of southern california near point conception. notice all the blue that covers southern california. so the trajectory of this is going to, again, tap into a little bit more moisture and be able to bring southern california more rainfall than what we're expecting here. and then it does shift east. it looks like by tuesday it's moving into southern parts of nevada as well as arizona. now, with that said, anywhere from half inch to an inch and a half of rainfall expected here. and overall, the rain is expected to be light going into the first part of the weekend, with a quarter inch or less falling per

4:07 pm

hour. the bigger concern is sunday into monday, where we could experience thunderstorms over southern california, and that's where a flood watch has been issued for the burn scar areas, lasting from 4 p.m. on sunday to 4 p.m. on monday. in the event those thunderstorms, of course, bring the heavy, brief downpour, there's a concern there. there's also an advisory for a winter weather over santa barbara county, ventura county, over the mountains of san diego county. and it does stretch along i-5 here, right through the grapevine. so we could see a little bit of dusting of snow there along i-5 for the weekend. so in one aspect, of course, the wet weather is going to really help things out. but the big concern with that comes the slides as well as pollution starts draining into the ocean. i'll have a better look at what the storm is going to provide for us here at home, as well as for the sierra coming up in just a bit, frank. >> all right. we will see you soon. thank you. rosemary. half

moon bay community today is again remembering seven farm workers who died in a mass shooting two years ago. in just a few hours, the community will gather at a public memorial. but is half moon bay continues to focus on healing. it is also moving forward with plans to improve housing for their farm workers. ktvu fox two reporter mark cyr joins us live at half moon bay this afternoon with more on that. mark. good afternoon. >> well good afternoon, frank. the setup for the memorial is underway behind me here at what is called the yellow house. this is just one block to the west of downtown half moon bay, where all the shops are. if you're familiar with this community, this is an open and public memorial. and despite the mourning that this community is going through right now, even national leaders in the farmworker movement say this community is fairly unique in that both labor movements and politics and politicians are aligned to try to improve conditions for farm workers. it was two years ago that an employee in the farmworker community killed four of his coworkers at one farm and then drove more than two miles and

4:09 pm

killed three others at a farm. and while the shootings remain a deep scar in this coast side community, the victims will never be forgotten. >> as we remember their lives, we honor them. we honor the work and what they contributed and continue to contribute in in many ways to this community. >> ever since the shootings, attention has been focused on the issue of substandard housing for farm workers already well under construction, as this complex known as 880 stone pine, which will have 47 units and is expected to open in may. also nearby is this city owned property, which will be torn down and converted into another 40 units of farmworker housing for what are called senior farm workers who work until their 70s or even 80s. >> people often say retired farm workers, and that's sort of a misnomer, as most farm workers do not have full on 401 k and retirement plans that allow them to retire in any kind of comfort. >> while the housing numbers may

4:10 pm

still be small, san mateo county supervisor ray mueller, who represents the coast side, says nothing is easy about building in this community, but he does see positive momentum. >> there is certainly a lot more work to be done around building housing, but the thing that we see generating more and more is the political will. and national leaders in the farmworker movement say several things are different about half moon bay than in some similar communities. for one, many farm workers here are multigenerational and stay in the community, rather than more transitional seasonal workers. and the alignment of the industry. farm worker advocates and political leaders is a benefit that simply does not exist in many other places. >> part of the challenge is, you know, if you're building housing for people that can't that are low income, there's not a lot of money in it. so who's really interested in that? >> back to a live picture here in half moon bay at what's called the yellow house. if you want to come out to tonight's public memorial, it will be held

4:11 pm

between 6 p.m. and 8 p.m. here at the corner of purisima street and correia street. again, that is just one block behind main street to the west. there will be a remembrance public memorial and also a performance musical accordion performance by farm workers themselves is what we're being told. that is what is happening here in half moon bay. i'm mark sayer, ktvu, fox two news. frank, back to you. >> all right, mark, thank you for that report. renovations work has now been completed at santa clara county's largest homeless shelter. a ribbon cutting ceremony held today at the reception center on little orchard street in san jose. the renovation work, all done with the help of a $150,000 donation from the home first and the nonprofit housing industry foundation. two part renovation project improves residents privacy and includes new offices and upgrades to flooring, lighting and furniture. officials say the renovation will enhance the functionality and the client and staff

4:12 pm

experience at that shelter. >> it means that we're able to support individuals and meet them where they're at. we can provide a safe and welcoming space for individuals that are coming in from the cold. our center is going to be more equipped to really provide that quality service and providing privacy to individuals to meet one on one. >> the buck carter reception center houses 250 people daily and provides them with a place to eat, to sleep and shower, and to assess access supportive services year round. next here on the four, we're taking a closer look at the rapid response network rallying to protect the rights of undocumented immigrants throughout the state. are christien kafton will join us with a live report when

4:15 pm

latest on that incident, and resources experts are now recommending for immigrants. christian. >> yeah. while this case turned out to be a false alarm, immigration advocates are saying this is a teaching opportunity so they can teach people about what to do when it does turn out to be legitimate. the story spread like wildfire. a visitacion valley middle school student said they were approached on a muni bus by an immigration and customs enforcement officer on thursday. san francisco unified schools confirmed the incident was reported, and that the district was working to determine if it had really happened. muni has now been able to determine that the claim was false, but the fear it left behind is real. >> i want to say that it's very real and valid that our community members, whether they're minors or adults, are feeling a lot of fear right now around the possibilities of ice, detentions and even mass raids. >> sonika mahajan from mission action leads the city's rapid response network, a hotline that immigrants or anyone who witnesses immigration officials conducting sweeps can call. she

4:16 pm

said contacting the rapid response network is a critical first step. >> if anybody sees or knows somebody who has been detained by ice, they should call the rapid response hotline at (415) 200-1548. and if they do see ice activity, we really ask that they do their best to take a photo or video from a safe distance so that we can verify this activity actually occurred. >> san francisco city leaders are also responding to the false alarm. supervisor shamann walton released a statement saying his office was monitoring developments and offering tips, including reminding immigrants of their right to remain silent, to not open the door without a warrant, and to contact the rapid response network. mayor daniel lurie's office also released a statement saying the mayor's office is confident there was no federal immigration enforcement action on muni. the mayor's office also reaffirmed the mayor's commitment to sanctuary city policies, saying, quote, their purpose is not to interfere with immigration enforcement, but to ensure that all residents can feel safe

4:17 pm

interacting with local law enforcement and accessing city services. these laws have been on the books for decades, and we will continue to uphold and defend the general prohibition of the use of city resources to assist ice in enforcing federal immigration actions. and while the incident here in san francisco proved to be a false alarm, chicago public schools said that ice agents did show up at hamlin elementary school this morning. staff at the school there say that the agents did not access the school, and did not speak to students or staff at that school. but the incident does highlight that the same thing could happen just about anywhere. we're live in san francisco, christien kafton. ktvu fox two news. >> all right, kristen, live in the city. thank you for that. a federal judge is keeping some of the people convicted in connection with the january 6th riot out of washington, dc. the judge ruling today is directed at eight of the 14th january sixth. defendants who had their sentences commuted by president

4:18 pm

trump this week. they are barred from entering the capitol and d.c. area without permission from the court. that order comes two days after oath keepers founder stewart rhodes spent several hours at a capitol complex meeting with some republican lawmakers. rhodes was convicted of seditious conspiracy, and he was sentenced to 18 years before he was released from prison this week. >> tell your story elsewhere. here is i have a right to free speech. disrespect? yes. and i'm here to. >> before the judge's ruling, president trump said he was open to inviting the january 6th defendants to the white house. he also says he's considering full pardons for all 14 of them. meanwhile, president trump's sweeping order has wiped clean the records of nearly everyone who invaded the capitol back in 2021. and that includes many defendants from right here in the bay area. our crime reporter, henry lee is live now after talking to those who had

4:19 pm

ties to that invasion. henry. >> well, just about everyone is stunned by these blanket pardons, including the defendants themselves, attorneys and law enforcement agents who worked these cases. retired santa clara engineer patrick borns got four months in federal prison after pleading guilty to taking part in the u.s. capitol invasion. the fbi says these photos show borns confronting police officers in a tunnel in washington, d.c, on january 6th, 2021. but now borns and many other bay area residents are among hundreds of so-called j6 participants who have been pardoned by president trump. #### huish is an attorney who represented borns and other j6 defendants. >> these are responsible, patriotic american and i'm glad. and i know he's happy that he has received this pardon and will be restored to his full rights. >> deneen mcandrew, of orange county, spent more than two months at the now closed federal prison in dublin for her role in the invasion. >> our cases were tri differently from other cases and

4:20 pm

i believe we were treated unfairly. i believe we were overcharged. >> trump's executive order also led a judge on wednesday, just nine days after the case was filed, to toss charges against frank giorgi jr. who helps run molinari salami in san francisco? david lim, a former prosecutor and defense attorney, says trump has the power to pardon but that the blanket nature of it all is concerning. >> because it doesn't seem to be well thought out. it seems to kind of cast a very wide net for purely political purposes. >> former fbi agent andrew black says rank and file agents are upset at both trump and his predecessor, who commuted the life sentence of leonard peltier, who killed two fbi agents. >> we're upset because even the most culpable individuals in the january 6th incident were released and pardoned, and they're very upset with the biden administration for releasing leonard peltier. >> i hope that this will begin the end of what has been a long national nightmare, and that both sides can get back to real

justice. >> now, in recent court in recent days, i've already seen a lot of these dismissals reflected in court records. and as far as those who have already served their sentences, many are still awaiting their official certificates of pardon. reporting live. henry lee, ktvu, fox two news. >> all right, henry lee, live in oakland. henry. thank you. coming up, there may soon be new policies governing police pursuits in the city of oakland. details on the proposed changes. that's oming up

4:22 pm

4:23 pm

4:24 pm

the first step in changing the department's suspect chase policy is trying to loosen the rules for when officers can pursue a criminal out on the road. ktvu james torres has more. >> one it is time because our policy is almost 11 years old, to review and either reaffirm, revalidate or revise our policy. >> oakland police chief floyd mitchell, presenting to the town's police commission. according to opd, the commission asked for a presentation from the chief, and the chief is now asking the commission to offer critique on his proposals to change the pursuit policy. >> i am in no way asking you to make a decision tonight. i'm asking you to provide your input and direction on how you believe we need to go forward. there are several other stakeholders that need to provide that same information. >> the chief's changes include reversing a rule to stop chases

4:25 pm

if the speed reaches 50 miles an hour. he also wants to pursue suspects accused of commercial or residential burglaries, and chase suspects accused of driving to the point of endangering the public. more specifically, those fleeing from sideshows. >> we want to be mindful of the safety of the public because. >> people who live in oakland weighed in on some of the ideas. >> i think you need to look at pedestrian safety. you need to include odot, and you need to look at the demographics of oakland, which is there's a lot of people over 60 like me. and these police pursuits put us at risk, and we will have no recourse if we're killed. >> these high speed pursuits are already happening. the chp is doing it, and it seems to be okay that they do it, because the city of oakland is not getting the liability. so we need to take a look at it. it's already happening and they are getting results. that's the whole thing. we need to get results to deter crime. >> our james torres reporting

4:26 pm

the commission voted to offer comments to the chief, asking him to consider pursuit prevention techniques policies when pursuing underage criminals and overall handling vehicle stops. when thinking of policy changes. he'll get more input from agencies like city attorney's office, the police union and city council before any changes are made. all right, let's turn to weather now. peek outside at the oakland estuary on this friday afternoon and you can see san francisco. but my guess is in about 24 hours, that might be a little murky. let's check in with rosemary because we got a little bit of rain coming our way. right? >> yes. finally, finally. i know it's been three weeks since we have seen any wet weather here in the bay area, and it's not going to be a lot, but it is at least going to break the dry spell. we do have a couple of advisories to talk about as well. a little bit of snow in the sierra. a look there over

4:27 pm

san francisco, high clouds overhead already beginning to see an increase in the relative humidity. and a view of storm tracker two shows you that batch of clouds from up above. as we get into the weekend, temperatures are going to fall off even more so than what we're feeling this afternoon, and we're already much cooler compared to yesterday. down by 11 degrees in san jose, down by eight concord as well as sfo. so where do our temperatures stand at this hour? 56 in san francisco, 54 half moon bay. few low 60s out there, including the north bay of santa rosa and the south bay of san jose in the low 60s. tomorrow afternoon we're going to struggle. mid to upper 50s is what we are expecting for the bay area. the winds have remained generally light. still a little bit of a variable wind out there. the winds will be picking up, especially in our hills, and we have a wind advisory for our interior. north bay that begins this evening. right now, palo alto reporting seven miles per hour. sfo reporting 13. atlas peak in the north bay reporting 12. oakland south in the east bay reporting

4:28 pm

11. the advisory begins at 10:00 this evening. we'll go all the way until sunday morning. and again it is for our interior north bay hills. we also have a frost advisory that begins at 1 a.m. for the interior north bay, as well as the east bay and down through the diablo range, and it will go on until 9 a.m. tomorrow morning. so another cold start to the day, and again we will be introducing scattered showers for tomorrow as well. winter weather advisory begins tomorrow morning will run until sunday afternoon, not only for the west slope, but for the greater lake tahoe area. snow levels are expected to drop down to about 3500ft. so again, a cold storm coming our way. i'll have a better look at the weekend and the extended forecast coming up in just a bit. >> frank. i can hear the skiers saying, hooray! it's been a while. yep. all right, rosemary, thank you. coming up, students and teachers speaking out after an abrupt end to sonoma state's athletic department. we're live th details right after

4:29 pm

4:30 pm

4:31 pm

budget deficits. sonoma state is ending all 11 of its sports programs and cutting out, or at least rolling back, other programs and people. today, there were meetings on campus where students and instructors vent their angst and a bit of anger, too. ktvu tom vacar visited the reeling and shock campus and joins us now from there. and tom, a very difficult couple of days, no doubt about it. >> you bet. for a lot of people

4:32 pm

here, the administration seems to be amputating body parts in order to save the ailing patient, a patient that simply will not be the same afterwards. >> number one, we want to try and fight to save sonoma state athletics. >> with virtually no notice. sonoma state university. >> administrators announced massive cuts by email, saying it's to best serve its current and future students and adapt to a changing higher education landscape on the chopping block. all 11 sports programs coaches 46 other faculty members, lecturer positions and some staff. on top of that, in alphabetical order, degree programs being eliminated include art, history, dance, earth and environmental sciences, economics, french, gender studies, philosophy, theater, and women's studies. >> we don't really know the full scope of the cuts at this time, but it's going to be really tremendous and we are very concerned. but we're also committing to fight for this

4:33 pm

university and to fight for the students. >> we believe there might that behind the scenes, they may be looking at closing this campus. >> the main reason. a decade long decline in enrollment by 38%. that means a loss of a lot of tuition, scholarships and grants. darwin created the theory of evolution. the gradual change in things brought sonoma state got was an unannounced meteorite strike that took out faculty, took out coaches, took out student athletes, and a whole lot more. >> i moved my family here six months ago or five months ago, and that was a significant decision for us. and we did it because we believe in this athletic department. >> we won a national championship. the women have won a national championship. we have records. we have the history. we have hall of fame. it's just gone, just taken from us. >> it's devastating for student athletes. >> i find it really disrespectful how this whole situation has been handled. they made us come back to campus, pay tuition, pay housing, sign leases for us to find out on the

4:34 pm

second day of school that we're no longer going to have a program. >> you can't come in and just break apart a family that has been rooted here. >> i even have roommates telling me that are not athletes. they say, oh, we don't want to come back here. >> so this spring you better watch out because we're ready for anything you're throwing at us. yeah. believe that. [applause] >> believe that. >> now, while it's true that sonoma state's athletic prowess is not that of the really big name schools super teams, it was good enough to earn former 49ers and cowboy larry allen a place in the nfl hall of fame. tom vacar, ktvu, fox two news. frank, back to you. >> tom, i'm curious, are any of those athletes on scholarship? and if they are, will they honor those? >> well, they are on scholarships and they probably will honor them for a period of time. but once this program ends, pretty much everything else ends, as i understand it. but i can tell you that they're already talking about filing a

4:35 pm

class action lawsuit on behalf of the students, that they're going to go to the labor board and see if the state did everything right in terms of informing people with transparency, if they did it in enough time. et cetera. et cetera. this fight is not over, and the people of sonoma county really have to make a decision. do they really want to see this school really go down the dumps or even be eliminated, or do they want to step up and help support it? $24 million a year is not a whole lot of money in the scheme of things, but it's really going to be up to the local community if the state does not step up. >> yeah, well, i feel for those students and the faculty and the community. tom, nice report. thank you for that. well, santa clara county could be the next or first county in the bay area to ban either partially or fully plastic athletic turf. this, as backers of a ban, say such turf is harmful to the health of kids and the athletes alike. ktvu south bay reporter jesse gary is live in sunnyvale, with more on an ordinance that's up for

4:36 pm

consideration. jesse. good evening. >> frank, good evening to you. and i'm standing on what is coveted space here in the south bay, a beautiful field that is ready for play, but an ordinance up for consideration by the county board of supervisors next week would ban plastic turf at county owned sites. >> we need fields, but not at the expense of our health, not at the expense of our children's health. >> outside the santa clara county government building friday, people and groups opposed to plastic athletic fields are raising the temperature on a simmering debate of how to increase areas for play and protect the community's health. >> the future is not plastic and should not be plastic. >> that's right. thank you. [applause] >> county district three supervisor otto lee plans on tuesday to submit an ordinance banning the use of athletic or synthetic turf at all new athletic fields in santa clara county. it would also be a

4:37 pm

second ordinance that would allow exceptions, such as compliance with preexisting leases, or if the use is for animals and is not greater than 2000ft!s. proponents charge the small rubber pellets within the plastic turf pose health risks such as cancer, and playing on turf can cause greater bodily harm compared to playing on grass. >> studies show that athletes are more likely to suffer from acl injuries, ankle sprains and other lower body injuries on plastic turf compared to natural grass. >> lee's proposed complete ban wouldn't remove existing artificial turf, but prohibit it from being used in new construction, or the replacement of plastic turf that includes the san jose earthquakes proposed soccer park at the county's fairgrounds, which would have grass fields for the team but synthetic turf for the community. >> hey, if you're building so much grass for your players, why not do the same for us as well? >> this is not a full and balanced, nuanced discussion.

4:38 pm

>> sandra, todd and others say turf fields are needed because there's a lack of play spaces for kids. turf provides a financially feasible option to build and maintain more fields and get more children away from a sedentary lifestyle. and according to todd, cancer concerns are overstated. >> there's a lot of studies that show that there's really no correlation there. yes, we should be concerned about plastics and chemicals, but we should not be scaring our youth and our parents that going out and playing sports is going to cause cancer. >> the board of supervisors will consider both options at its meeting on tuesday. promises to be a very spirited meeting. we're live in sunnyvale this evening. jesse gary, ktvu, fox two news. frank, back up to you in oakland. >> and i will take it. jesse, thank you for that. the humane society of the silicon valley is marking a milestone with its pet pantry program in just a decade. it has now delivered its one millionth meal for pets. pet pantry provides free pet food
