In the East Foothills, east of san jose. Snow in the rain snow mix. Altamont pass, looking at rain in the area. See rain snow mix here. Up north also seeing rain snow mix pushing out of here. Looking at snow for over the last hour or so. Look at this. The oakland little bit of rain snow mix. You may see periods of heavy downpours but it wont be long lived. Were talking scattered showers and unstable air mass and cold air mass as that. For the northern mountains, were looking at 1500 and 2,000 feet could see a couple of inches, foot of snow up there. In the sierras, snow levels 2,000 to 2,500 people. And then more than three feet of snow above the passes today. So expect travel delays. Well talk more about the rain and when it will dry out and when we see temperatures near 70 degrees. That is all ahead. The nightmare is over for hundreds of b. A. R. T. Passengers after spending two hours stuck on the train because of a fire. The blaze broke out at the walnut creek station. Firefighters were able to contain the fire quickly but could not put it out until electricians showed up to shut off the power. The people on the train did not know what was happening when the train stopped. Once we were stopped it was maybe a few minutes later and then all of a sudden the fire engines came and we were just looking down and couldnt see any fire. When they arrived they found a lot of smoke coming out of the electrical room along with explosions. No one was hurt. Investigators are not sure what caused that fire. They do not suspect foul play. Chaos in berkeley. Police make ten arrests at a pro trump rally. Violent clashes broke out between Trump Supporters and antitrump protestors yesterday afternoon. At one point large groups of people were beating each other with sticks. Many were left with bloody noses and faces. Some used pepper spray and threw smoke canisters into the crowd and some set off fireworks. I knew full well there might be some stuff popping off. It is a sad day and were better than this. For the most part Police Officers standing by in riot gear did not intervene in the individual fights. While fights were happening, kpix5 learned that officers were only intervening when there was a perceived victim. Any other altercation where there is no victim, is a battery situation. The tactic appeared to isolate trouble makers so the police could arrest them. Our cameras got a few arrests like this one. We were walking away from the protest and they started following us for no reason. We started running and they decided to pull over my friend and she started running and it took seven of them to take her down for no reason. We were walking away. Im trying to figure out what they got her on. Berkeley police put out a photo of some of the weapons they confiscated. Some baseball bats and sticks of different lengths including one with nails sticking out of it. Pro trump rallies throughout the country. Most were peaceful. In the nations capitol they listen to pro trump speakers. In new york city couple hundred Trump Supporters and protestors braced the cold near trump tower. The police kept that confined to an area with barricades. Organizes of last months womans march on washington will pound the pavement again this week. They say a day without a woman will be held on International Womens day on march 8. This is video on the march in washington in january. Action items are listed on the website. They call for women to take the kay off work and only shop at small women and minorityowned businesses. Organizers say the strike is meant to recognize the contributions women make to the economy despite the gender wage gap. In another statement critics of the president s made their opinions known on a beach in san diego. Hundreds of people staged a public art event spelling impeach with their bodies. And then they regrouped and spelled out resist. A similar protest was held in San Franciscos ocean beach last month. Thousands of people spelled out the word resist in the sand. In the president s first speech before congress this past week he laid out his agenda for the coming year. But what was in it . How much style . How much substance. That is what we asked former San Francisco mayor willie brown and melissa cane. Was this renewed trump or repackaged one. I think it is repackaged. It is the one supporters are happy with. They wish he stops with tweeting and personal attacks and that is what he did, while staying on point with all his policies. He didnt deviate from what he said during the campaign and what he is doing as president. But he sid it in a more president ial way and that is something a lot of republicans are happy to see. Youre smiling over there. Im smiling because im kind of shallow so to speak like clothing. It showed up. And he actually buttoned the suit. And the tie did not reach his toes as his size regularly does. When he showed up on that naval ship yesterday, he was wearing something he should not wear. That Bomber Jacket they gave him. And the hat. Increased his size, it looked like he was expanded, he could actually sub divide. He looked so big and awful. As funny that may sound, that has a good deal to do with the perception and the medias response to what he said this week. Is how he looks and presents himself. Which is kind of shallow. Back to your point. And is the bar so low that someone who just dresses appropriately can be called president ial . Youre talking barlow dressing with him in the room. Very important. For trump there is no bar. You cant make a bar when you start at that point. There is no bar. But trump did a good job. What destroyed what trump was attempting to do, he wanted three or four days of all of us discussing his performance. He didnt get it because sessions showed up meeting with the russians counterpart on the ambassador side and lying about it. So he sounded and looked pretty president ial and then he was back on twitter yesterday morning blasting schwarzenegger about the apprentice. He was. And international incident. Youre right. He was blasting about a Television Show and next thing you know hes talking about the Obama Administration wiretapping him during the election. So i dont know if he can hold it for that long before he has to go back to that form. No matter what the package it is like a jackinthebox. You never know what is going to pop out. As we wait for President Trumps revised immigration policy many bay area residents are afraid they will get kicked out of the country. Well talk with an expert about past and present executive actions on immigration and deportation. Tracking rain and snow this morning on highdef doppler and how long these showers will last. White house under fire well look at the administrations contacts with russia. Where does the Obamacare Repeal stand. That is face the nation today. , everything we stock at Grocery Outlet has crazy low prices. Do you know how we do it . How . Bargainomics say, if california has a bumper crop and produces too many oranges. Or a winemaker in sonoma suddenly has 1000 bottles too many. Weve got namebrand, topquality groceries priced 4070 off every day. Bargainomics. Thats our Business Model. And our Business Model is. Delicious. Grocery outlet bargain market trumps revised immigration policy will mean for them. With fear for many bay area residents are concerned about what President Trumps revised immigration policy would mean for them. A Peninsula School is offering support to worried parents. Immigrant parents in East Palo AltoSchool Officials and Law Enforcement offered information for them. Authorities assured them they are not offering assistance in immigration rates. We dont want people to be afraid not to report certain crimes being taken place because theyre fearful were working with ice and they will be deported. It is not our concern if their legal status here in this country. The president said he would crack down on illegal immigration and is already removing, quote, the bad ones including gang members and criminals from the country. Joining us now to talk about immigration deportations is hastings law professor. You have been studying this for years. We have not had a change in Immigration Law since when, the reagan add hins stration . Pretty much, yes. The only changes were seeing is changes in policy. Every president that came in has basically set the guidelines under these laws that are existing, correct . Yes. All right. Let us look a little bit how different president s have done it. Compare george bush, say, with barack obama. What were the differences in how they interpret it. When you look at the Obama Administration in all eight years of it you see a high volume of deportation. Higher than the bush presidency. But there is a nuance there, which is that most of the deportations under the Obama Administration happened in the first term of his presidency and in the second term of his presidency, deportations went down. And what led to this was the fact his policy became less compromising and things changed a little bit in the second term. He actually deported more people than his republican predecessor which is a soccer for people out there who would think it is the reversed. It is now become an issue because the Obama Administration justify increased what was the reasoning behind it . What was going on to some extent a political compromise. Obama was reaching out a lot to the right during the first term of his administration. This is one of the discontents of his presidency for many progressive supporters. In the second half, again, they scaled back pretty dramatically, ice enforced a lot less, and the enforcement focussed on different kinds of people, so it matters not just how many people you deport but also who you deport. Okay. Lets look at that between what the Obama Administration was doing and what the Trump Administration is doing. What do you see as the key difference there . The main focus is that the Obama Administration focussed mostly on two type of deportees, folks that just arrived at the border hightailed and sent back immediately on arrival, and people who committed serious, Violent Crimes and were there for serious risk for public safety. What were seeing this administration doing is creating a false nexus between immigration and crime claiming that immigrants commit more crime and a claim that is patently false. Every piece of Research Shows immigrants on average commit less crime than the nativeborn. Okay. That is a political statement. No, that is a fact. Im not disagreeing with what youre saying but the fact that trump says were going to do that and links Illegal Immigrants with crime, is a political statement. It is not an immigration policy. My question is, what is serious crimes versus serious crimes in the two administrations, obama versus trump, what are the differences there . Trump includes low level of offenses, misdemeanor s traffic offenses. So the whole definition of who is a criminal and who we should be afraid of changed. Would [inaudible] be serious versus obamas versus trumps. There are some both administrations they would be a serious crime of deportation. Yes. Where is the break . I realize you can have the ability under law if you have a parking ticket just the fact youre here illegally is grounds for deportation under the law. If we take the politics and pr and some of the light on hysteria, or whatever, what is the key difference of what we had and what were seeing. There are specifics in the Immigration Law that specify i think the term is crimes of moral turpitude which are crimes leading somebody to leave the country. These are categories defined in Immigration Law and include things that pose a risk to public safety. They do not include plain old offense. Under this administration, there are two things happening. One of definition of what counts as offense and how ice is going to parse their efforts is going to change. And they also increased the time limit for people that theyre seeking from two weeks to two years and that is also a big expansion in the operation. One of the biggest changes is the tone of the administrator saying what it is and linking it and using it as political which brings in the debate. Thank you for joining us this morning. Now well go out and look at the story on a different front. That is the one on your doorstep. Were tracking rain and snow in highdef doppler. Well loop our radar here.

Billions more will be needed and the Rail Authority is looking to the federal Transit Administration for more money. Congressional republicans to urge to reject the request. A man is a slum lord and theyre making sure he gets the message. They camped out on the door step of their landlords home to protest a rent hike. They wrote several complaints to management about moldy ripped up carpets destroyed by water and moisture over the yoors, and mold bordering the within doeshgs but none of their concerns windows, but none of their concerns have been addressed.

Yeah, you know we have been getting complaints, a lot of people noticing their gas bills and energy bills spiking. Senator jerry hill is calling on pge to lower bills and better understand when their usage climbs. Hill and his staff did research into the spikes in bills in addition to an approved rate increase. They found the rate structure, higher cost for natural gas and colder winter months were to blame for the increases. He wants the Public Utilities commission to track the usage to avoid those surprises and increase the amount of gas theyre allowed to use in the winter before theyre bumped up to a more expensive tier. They say they are reviewing those recommendations. Electric bills to electric cars. Electric car charging stations could soon be a requirement for new developments in San Francisco.
