Reporter sanctuary cities are safe especially with immigrants who are focused on working and obeying the law. Reporter President Trump has taken aim against at sanctuary cities. He said this to a room full of city leaders at the u. S. Conference of the mayors. Sanctuary cities are the best friends of gangs and cartels. Reporter he said the death rate around sanctuaries is unacceptable. Ktvu decided to take a look at the president s remark to gauge the validity. I started with franklin a criminologist at ucberkeleys law school and he says crime stats prove otherwise. You might ask, what does all of this have to do with the status of california or the cities being sanctuary . And the answer is practically nothing. They happen to be extremely safe cities. And they probably would be extremely safe cities whether or not they were sanctuaries. Reporter berkeley mayor Jesse Arreguin says President Trump is needlessly fanning the flames of antiimmigrant hysteria without facts on his side. Studies show that sanctuary cities are actually safer because immigrants feel they can go to Law Enforcement and report crimes. So the president s wrong once again. And, um, you know, once again the president is targeting california like he has, um, around marijuana. He is targeting california around immigration because we are a proud sanctuary state. Reporter richmond mayor tom butt is in dc this week. He said he wasnt invited to see President Trump adding he believed those who were, were all trumpfriendly mayors.

The Oakland PoliceDepartment Says it mistakenly denied applications for special visa for victims of Violent Crime. The uvisa Program Allows someone to stay in the country for four years to help local authorities investigate and prosecute a crime. The 940 applications Oakland Police received last year, 144 were denied. Earlier this month Oakland Police say they realized they denied about 25 of those applications by mistake. They are now asking anyone who was denied to reapply. In some cases, there may be a crime trend, a Violent Crime trend and if people are not reporting it and they dont feel comfortable reporting it or they have a fear, then it really prohibits us from really addressing that issue and creating a safe environment for our community. Police departments certified that the applicant was a victim of a Violent Crime before forwarding the visa application to homeland security.

Meantime, san jose mayor sam liccardo announced today that he is resigning from an fcc committee. The mayor is in washington and he resigned from the Broadband Deployment Advisory Committee citing a pervasive influence from telecom and industry interests. He said when he joined the committee, he had hoped to develop recommendations that would provide Broadband Access to everyone. We have seen essentially an administration and fcc that capitulated to industry demands to steam roll local communities for the benefit of the industry without any firm commitment, responsibility to actually serve the millions of residents who are left out. Mayor liccardo says he has campaigned for new rules making it easier for low income and rural areas to have access to affordable high speed internet. Later in the day, the fcc chairman released a statement saying todays Stormy Weather kicked up the sand along the great highway in San Francisco. Northbound lanes were closed from skyline to sloat for hours for sand removal. Thats not unusual during storms. From skyfox you can see crews at work clearing the lanes this morning. And in the water, not very far away at ocean beach check this out rough weather. This is a coast guard off heavy surf in the area. The waves were 10 to 14 feet high today and i have been out there on those boats during this. This is a surf rescue practice. These boats are designed for heavy surf and they got rubber around them. They sit in the seats with, like, seatbelts like in a rocket ship that go over your shoulders and around your waist and over your thigh. That boat could actually roll over and go back upright. They dont like it but thats the whole idea is to practice this. So bill, when you take a look at this this thing looks look a toy. They practice at the break line. I have never seen one go all the way over. The guys when you see them standing in they have straps on and threeway har fences. Theres good surf out there now. Its coming down the next couple of days. The surf comes from the big storms that we have been seeing. Theres ocean beach and sand and it is foggy. You know, thats not a giant wave. Thats 8 feet. Thats exciting work. A little bit of snowfall the last 24hour totals so thats not bad and i have seen two feet. So around here, we have up to 1. 5 of rain. But most bay area residents over the last two days a quarter to half inch. We have widely scattered showers and all the storm reports including a wall cloud funnel cloud combination around the oroville area. Its typical. This kind of weather unstable air mass. At sunset its dying down. You will see an overnight low tonight thats going to be cold. Overnight lows in the 30s. Ken, when were you in it, did it roll over . No good.

Steph curry and lebron james picked their all star squads. Well tell you about the teams in sports. In spo de the west coast getting closer to an Early Warning system for earthquakes. The usgs today said it plans to roll out the preliminary phase of a Warning System this year. The system will cover california, oregon and washington. As ktvus tom vacar reports, its designed to give people a few seconds of time to try to get to safety. Reporter the earthquake emergency Warning System still only about half built uses sophisticated shake sensors and Data Analyzers to send out alerts for magnitude 4. 5 or greater events to minimize false alerts or low magnitude panic. You can send alerts out ahead of the seismic wave as they radiate out through the earths crust. Reporter that would provide a few seconds to tens of seconds of warning. Initially, those alerts will go to critical organizations such as police, fire, education, utilities as well as News Agencies of all kinds. But it is still very much a work in progress. This is a very rapidly evolving project. There will be false alerts. There will be missed earthquakes. No matter how much money we pour into this. Reporter what most individual folks really want is personal notification. When do it get it how and what do i do with it . The end goal is to get it as quickly as possible on your cell phone. Reporter it would come with a warning alert sound and a voice statement. Earthquake, earthquake, expect quake soon, drop, cover, hold on, protect yourself now. The problem is, it cant be done. Reporter now, the situation is simply this the current emergency systems we have are way too slow for this kind of a warning. The current technologist are way too slow for earthquake alerts. They have to be that quick. And so it will be at least three to seven years before those technologies are online for individuals. From the hayward fault at uc berkeley, im tom vacar, ktvu fox 2 news.
