At oes headquarters, officials from caltrans, fema and other agencies are communicating with crews in the mudslide zones to make sure they have enough resources. 2017 was a record year for the number of days the Operation Center was up and running because of the fires and storms. It used to be when this activated, it was a big deal and we would do it several times a year. It seems like we never shut down in 2017. Here we are, the first ten days of 2018, we have activated and into another set of disasters. Its just become the norm for us. The oes is conducting recovery operations from the storms from early last year, including the issues of the oroville dam spillway. We know one person is dead after an officerinvolved shooting outside a power plant. Bob redell is live with what we know now that new information from overnight. Bob, this man was actually carrying a weapon. We are not used to hearing about. Reporter correct. Good morning to you, marcus. This man was reportedly armed with an ax.

A judge issued a temporary injunction last night reviving part of the daca program. Kris sanchez is live this morning with the response just releaseed from the white house. Good morning, kris. Reporter good morning to you. No direct response from President Trump, just yet. His last tweet, posted nine hours ago. His White House Press secretary, the last half hour, issued a statement reading, we find this decision to be outrageous. An issue of this magnitude must go through the legislative process z. President trump is committed to the rule of law and will work with members of both parties to reach a permanent solution. That claim, that daca policy is unconstitutional is at the crux of the reason the judge in San Francisco ordered the halt. He ruled the Trump Administration termination of the program was based on an error of law. That is the idea that daca was illegal, when, in fact, it would you describe upheld by the supreme court. This is what it means for d. R. E. A. M. Ers. Continues protection from deportation. Also Homeland Security should start resuming, accepting renewal applications. No new applications will be accepted. The u. S. Justice department could appeal. That is certainly expected. Five lawsuits challenging daca continue. The lawsuits were filed by santa clara county, the city of san jose, the university of california and several other states and Employee Union as well. California attorney general responded swiftly last night saying d. R. E. A. M. Ers lives were thrown into chaos when they tried to terminate the daca program without obeying the law. Last nights ruling is a huge step in the right direction. A lot of local governments, agencies, School Districts and Community College systems, for example, posted a lot of resources for their d. R. E. A. M. Ers. They are trying to figure it out. They are very young people. I will tweet out resources, links to the resources in addition to the reaction and would President Trump react . If he does, we will make sure you know about it as well. Kris sanchez, today in the bay. Thank you, kris. Well be watching out for that.

An expensive and unusual problem with a car followed by an all too common silence from the manufacturer. Im chris chmura. Nbc bay area responds, next. Transmission fae nbc bay area responds to a san jose man who says a car radio glitch caused a transmission failure. Chris chmura is here to explain how the Response Team helped sort out the bizarre situation. When michaels radio went out in his dodge, he tried to fix it himself. He found a fuse labeled spare and he switched that fuse with a new one to get the radio working. Well, the radio did work. Then the car wouldnt. The car wouldnt run. Michael towed the car to the local dealer where he learned the transmission failed. Why . Michael says the Sales Manager said the spare fuse was incorrectly marked. It was actually linked to the transmission and caused the failure. Michael paid 175 to fix all of this. He didnt think he should be on the hook for anything because the fuse was incorrectly marked. Right . He filed a claim with dodge for a refund. You can guess what happened. It denied that claim. He reached out to us for help. We contacted dodge and michael received a 175 refund. Fiat dodge wouldnt confirm if it was incorrectly marked. Instead, it said it was pleased to resolve the issue and extend apologies to the customer. It said the situation and the way it was handled was anomalous and inconsistent with policy and practice. If you have a complaint call 888996tips or log on to www. Nbcbayarea. Com responds.
