You can take bart to all kinds of weekend events and direct service to sfo was running great right now. The weekend protests drew thousands of demonstrators in San Franciscos airport.

We have more coverage including react from Tech Companies and plus what donald trump voters think of the protests.

There was a refusal of president roosevelts order that refused japanese people into interment camps. Convicted of breaking military law. He appealed the case to the u. S. Supreme court which ruled against him. One of mr. Coremontes attorneys speaking says there may be a parallel with the current travel band. I think fred would say what is the factual basis and if it is not based upon fact but based on discrimination against people of Certain National origin or certain religion, thats a problem. It punches a hole in the constitution and makes americans less safe and not more safe. Coramontes conviction was overturned in 1983 when it came to light that f. B. I.

In a south bay, a handyman facing murder charges for the killing of prominent member of tommy shwe found dead in a shallow grave. We learn about the trail of evidence that led investigators to a suspect and it turns out that suspect worked as a handyman for tommy shwe.

It is in comprehensible how something could happen to my father. A former School Board Member never made it home from the gym. Authorities say that same day ellebracht was caught on camera at a bank in morgan hill trying to force a ten thousand dollar check from his accounts. Later a camera reported him buying a shovel from a nearby home depot and authorities recovered ellebrachts van filled with bloody clothes and abandoned. Nearby authorities found tommy shwes cell phone and a grave. The strangulation and burial in an effort to cover and evade the pursuit of justice is troubling. As it turns out ellebracht has been taken into custody for brandishing a knife at someone near a fastfood restaurant in his pocket. More evidence linking him to tommy shwe. The suspect was in possession of the victims wallet. Ellebracht made his first appearance and prosecutors believe the evidence is strong. I think that county Sheriffs Office did an excellent job and stand behinds his work and we will prosecutor this.
