Possibility of a little shower activity on thursday, he says. Stay tuned. 70s and 80s on the temps here. Coming down on the temps, sal. Thats good. A lot of people didnt want to live in phoenix for a reason. It felt like it. Right . Yes. Good morning. Everyone.

Im going to move the map up a little bit to the gillman street exit. The latest incident is westbound 80 at gillman. I can bring in the camera and you can see that 80 will be quite a drive this morning, driving from the carquinez bridge. It looks like the crash may have been gone. But the damage is done. A couple of earlier crashes, almost an hour to drive that stretch between the carquinez bridge and the macarthur maze. At the bay bridge toll plaza, we do have a backup that is pretty severe i wouldnt say severe. It is filled in. This is about a 30minute delay. Severe for me means more than that. You get the point. It will be a very full delay at the bay bridge toll plaza. The traffic on 880 looks okay. In case youre trying to get to the san mateo bridge. It will slow down after 238. Back to the desk. Thank you, sal. An hour from right now, attorney general Jeff Sessions will announce President Trumps decision on the future of the daca program. He is expected to announce the president will end the program but not right away. Ktvus allie rasmus is in the studio to explain what this means, allie. All signs point to President Trump handing the fate of the daca program over to congress. He sent a tweet earlier this morning saying congress get ready to do your job, daca. Attorney general Jeff Sessions, an opponent of the daca program is expected to say it will end after six months. The idea under the delay, to force congress to pass legislation to uphold the program on its own or create an immigration measure. In the meantime, it will be a frightening and uncertain six months for about 800,000 people across the country part of this program. President obama created daca about five years ago by executive order. It applies to people who arrived illegally as infant or children. The dreamers had to register with the federal government to enroll in the program, handing over home addresses, fingerprints in exchange to legally work and pay taxes here in the u. S. Daca enrollees also had to be High School Graduates and have clean criminal records. If it is cut, nearly a Million People could be deported. Rted. To enroll in the program, they had to submit their fingerprints, they had to give addresses. And were talking more than 200,000 people in california that are at risk here. Because many live with their parents who are also undocumented. And so their parents are nervous because its not going to be easy for people to run and hide, if you will, because were talking about households that are affected. You do feel for somebody who was two years old when their parents brought them over. Do you punish them as well as the parents. There are consequences. And you dont give them rewards that lead to citizenship. Congress has failed over the past decade to pass any sort of immigrationrelated measure. Political observers say even if Congress Passes some part of bipartisan legislation, it hasnt had a great track record so far this year, what kind of legislations will it come with . Will President Trump make them come up money for a border wall in exchange for saving daca. Nearly a Million People will be on pins and needles for the next for the next six months, not knowing if you will have to be deported. Where would they self deport to . You came over as a child. You dont have ties to the country of your parents origin. Thank you, allie. Nancy pelosi said this make sure you that stay right here with us on ktvu fox 2 and ktvu. Com for our coverage of the daca announcement. We will bring you attorney general Jeff Sessions announcement live at 8 00 this morning, our time. That is less than an hour from now. We will be joined at the 8 00 and 9 00 hours of mornings on 2 by San Francisco chronicle senior Political Writer joe garofoli. The question of the day is do you support or oppose the daca program . Let us know what you think. Vote on the ktvu twitter page. You can also comment on our Facebook Page as well.

Sal, how does it look . It looks okay this morning, gave and gasia. Westbound 80 though is not one of those spots that is going to be doing well. We just had a report of another crash on 80 along this stretch. This time 80 westbound at carlson. There was a crash at gillman. And several crashes along the way.

There is no such thing as a category 6. Category 5 is as high its it goes. Irma is now category 5. 175 Miles Per Hour winds. Some of the outer bands are just exploding with convective active. This is a monster system as we talked about heading towards the u. S. Virgin island and Leeward Islands and puerto rico. The track after that, most take it near cuba and also florida. These are all the Hurricane Irma forecast models on where the cat 5 hurricane might go. Now, dont want to say in a best case scenario, but one scenario takes it over cuba and into the gulf into the panhandle. The gfs takes it smack dab into florida. The european model which for which its worth based on cat 5 history is usually the best. Takes it more towards the tampa side than northward. But any way that you look at it, florida is going to get hit. It looks like late on the weekend and into early, early monday. Back home, our good friend marty says good morning, steve. Woke up to 72 humidity. Yes. Overcast and 71 degrees. It feels like a maui morning. I would agree. Upper 60s to 70s here. I mean, it is cooler in cloverdale than it is at bodega bay and point reyes. How about that. You dont see that all the time. Temperatures are mild. Some of that cloud cover tropical, keeping the humidity higher. It looks like there is a southern edge to this and a back side of it. Partly to mostly cloudy in the morning. Partly sunny, still hazy but not as bad as the past couple of days. The wind is turning. It is turning more west southwest. 60s and 70s. I mean, san jose, 73. Concord, 71. 70 in novato. 72 at sfo. Everybody due to the cloud cover is extremely close. The west wind is picking up to the south 67. Soquel, 65. Saratoga and also campbell. Bolder creek at 6 degrees 68 degrees. There is a breed. I saw 20 Miles Per Hour out of the west in tibberon. I think some lower clouds in the gray are moving north. The key, this system, a low forming off of l. A. Another system coming in which will draw a lot of that up here. The end result will be cooler. But also a lot of partly to mostly cloudies. And a possibility maybe of some scattered showers on thursday. But the trend is 70s and 80s. By tomorrow, back into 60s on the coast. Close call right now. Cooler weather will take us into thursday there, gasia. Thank you, steve. The time is 7 19.

They still have to show identification and go through security. And get a oneday pass. It is good for the stores in the airport. It was originally supposed to be like a shopping mall. The tsa has signed off on the idea but does not plan to try it out at other airports. We talked about it a little bit last week. One of the concerns is the security lines. Right. So that could add a lot of people to the line while youre trying to get to the flight. My husband and two kids want to see me off, that is four instead of one. Thats right. I like walking somebody to the gate. Right. And receiving somebody. Thank you, pam. All right. Pam. The time is 7 26. It happened on train tracks. Up next, how police say a car ended up being hit by a cal train in redwood city. We just wrapped up the cal fire staging meeting this morning. They made great process on the ballybunion fire. But we have a new challenge facing crews in the hills. It is a tough morning as you might imagine on this tuesday after labor day. A lot of the commutes will be slow. But we will let you know which spots are extra slow this morning. Well, improving conditions here. A little cooler and better air quality. Still clouds around. But the trend is for cooler weather to take us into the next few days. Been trying to prepare for this day. And im still not ready. The reason im telling you this is that there will be moments in your life that. Youll never be ready for. Your little girl getting married being one of them. A busy Tuesday Morning, september 5th. Im gasia mikaelian. And im dave clark. Lets talk about the weather. Steve paulson, the sky looks good outside of our door. It looks like a fall sky, many people have been saying. I havent said good morning yet. Its been a busy morning. We have better air quality. It is starting to improve after a couple of people said it is much better here. Wind has picked up more of a westerly breeze. That helps clear it out. Jim is at the san rafael yacht harbor. Beautiful. Ive been there. We took a boat in there once. Me and my friend. It was his boat. Looks like an early autumn sky. I would agree with that. Also tom is down towards blossom hill. 71 and calm. Thank goodness. Windy yesterday. A lot of people mentioned that. I believe you had the tropical moisture and the rain coming in and you had evaporated cooling. The rain would fall but the air mass was so dry that it would evaporate the rain. The cooler downdraft made it. The winds would go nuts for 20, 30 minutes and then go back to calm. There is still some now. It is beginning to thin out. We will still have partly to mostly cloudy skies in the morning. By the way, the full moon is early, early on the 6th, 12 02. Almost looked like it today. If you can look through the cloud cover. A little bit of fog trying to form. 60 in the city. 66 to 68 for alameda and oakland. The cloud cover is really holding the lows up. The high temps are coming down. West southwest at vacaville. Look for a combination of low clouds and higher clouds. Get use today a low hanging around here for the next five to seven days. Ill have more on that in about ten minutes today. Better air quality and 70sand 80s. 7 31. Youve been busy but traffic is moderate. Moderate. Been too busy to tell you, that is a sharp tie, my friend. Thank you. Mr. Sal castaneda senior would say that is sharp. He checked in. He would say that is a sharp. By his standards, which is pretty darn high. We had slow traffic and a couple of separate crashes. I think were going on crash number three this time. It is 80 westbound at carlson. One at gillman and one at carlson. And the traffic is slow, especially after hercules and into richmond. It is usually an hour drive. So were almost double that time. Just plan accordingly and you might want to think about using public transportation. When you get to the bay bridge, the metering starts all over from the ma i see to getting on to the bring. About 20 minutes, maybe a little more than that. And if youre driving on 24 westbound, its moderately heavy. I will say that highway 4 has been slow all the way from the west part of antioch, all the way over to 680. This is the new normal as we have the busiest commute we have had in a while on the tuesday after labor day. Just to be expected as i would say schools are all back in. If theres a school not back in, thats the exception rather than the rule. Everyone that i know is back. This is a look at northbound 101 in san jose. All of the freeways are crowded getting into the valley. You can see for yourself 280 through downtown, this stretch is going to be slow. 7 33. Lets go back to the desk. We got an update from firefighters in gilroy on a brush fire burning near homes. More than 100 acres have burned in the hills near the ridge neighborhood. Leigh martinez has been out there for a while in gilroy. What are the firefighters saying . Reporter we just wrapped up the staging plan a couple of minutes ago. We have the new crews coming in for their sift. It is billy goat country. It is treacherous up there. The main priority is firefighter safety today. They have made significant progress. It was at 10 last night. By this morning, they got it down to 35 contained this morning. Now fire crews been fighting the ballybunion fire since it  was reported sunday night. The fire appears to have started near homes in eagle ridge, a gated country club community. About 5 00 p. M. Yesterday, crews had cut a fire line with 10 containment. There is now 35 containment on a fire burning some 100 acres. Planes with fire retardant flew back and forth during daylight hours. The dozers made great progress last night. There is a new challenge this morning. Theres some really steep terrain back there. The dozers will go as far as possible that they can go. Then we have to send in our high crews and hike in by foot and actually put our line in by hand with the tools, the hand tools, the shovels, followed by the firefighters with the hose lines to put the fire out. Reporter now, yesterday we met homeowners that spent Labor Day Holiday watching the fire and preparing to leave. Luckily no one was evacuated last night and the fire is not threatening any homes. We learned of one firefighter injury yesterday from falling about 40 feet down the hills. Again, this is a treacherous area over here. He just had minor injuries and was treated and released at the hospital. New fire crews are coming out here. It is more limited this time around. They have the helicopters, about three of them, working today. They dont have the retard around planes working because there are so many other fires across the state at this point. They feel confident where the fire is right now. Schools have reopened and the roads that were closed yesterday have also been reopened. Before you go, the air quality in and out gilroy now this morning, what is it like . Reporter it actually smells a lot better than when we got out here at 5 00. It smells like smoke but not as heavy. Thank you, Leigh Martinez in gilroy. New information now in fairfield on last nights deadly shooting. Three people were shot just before 10 00 last night on tanglewood drive. One is in critical injury. The other has life threatening injuries. Police are still investigating. So far there are no suspects arrested and the investigation continues. One man is dead after his car was hit by a train in redwood city early this morning. Alex savidge is live there now. The crash may have come down to very bad timing. Reporter yeah. Extremely bad timing, gasia. Good morning to you. Investigators say the man who was killed in the accident was driving his car down buckingham avenue, right off of el camino real. He may not have realized this small residential street comes to an end right here and his car plowed right through that fence, flew through the air and landed on its side on the train tracks. Witnesses say just minutes later, a northbound cal train slammed into that vw sedan, dragging it for at least a half mile. The man who was behind the wheel of that cars with killed in this accident. Were told by or thes that he by authorities that he was 29 years old from here in redwood city. No passengers were on board the train. And the operator was not injured in the crash. Neighbors heard a loud bang from the initial crash and came outside just in time to see the speeding train plow into the car. R. We were just in shock. Because we werent expecting the car to be right in front of us. The bang was loud. It sounded like it was right next to us, not right across from us. Reporter investigators are trying to figure out what caused the driver to lose control and crash through the fence around the train tracks. They will be looking to see if speed was a factor. They suspect this car was going quite fast. They are looking to see if alcohol or drugs played a role. Crews were cleaning up the debris across the train tracks. Again, we have the impact here at this location. And then the car was dragged another haverhill up the train tracks by this northbound cal train. And so there was debris all over the place. They have cleaned up the debris. At this point cal train is running normal service through this area. Thank you, alex. The time is now 7 38. President trump tweeted this morning he will allow japan and south korea to buy a substantially increased amount of highly sophisticated military equipment from the United States. At the same time, the United States is pushing for tougher International Pressure on north korea because north korea tested a Hydrogen Bomb last weekend. The Trump Administration agrees that a diplomatic solution would be best. The while house says all economic and military options are still on the table. International experts say kim jongun is hoping the deposition will drive a wedge between south korea and its allies. Kim jongun, we have to remember that the core goal of his regime is the destruction of the south korean state. Im concerned when kim becomes confident in his arsenal, he will blackmail the United States to break the treaty with south korea and get our 28,500 servicemen and women off of the peninsula so that he can then take over south korea. Now, both russia and china say it is important for all nations involved to step on the path of cooperation. Theyre also specifically coming on the u. S. To tone down its rhetoric. Congress gets back to work today with a full agenda. First the house and senate will face pressure to approve 8 billion in initial funding in response to Hurricane Harvey.

We will tell you more about the morning commute coming up. And improvement in our weather. Not only with the temps cooling off. The lows are up and the highs are coming down. Also the air quality. I can see the bay now. I couldnt see it a couple days ago. A new study shows that a controversial Prostate Cancer Screening Test does work and does save lives. A new study by an International Group of researchers says that the men who take the blood test appear to have a lower chance of dying from Prostate Cancer. In two earlier trials, the results were not clear and a government backed agency recommended against the screening saying the blood test could lead to unnecessary treatments. Australias highest court is considering whether the government should survey the government on whether samesex marriage should be legalized. They want the parliament to decide on the issue without consulting the public. They argued the government doesnt have the constitutional power to start a survey by mail next week. The court can make a ruling as early as tomorrow after the government argues its case. Sal is right over there. Lets get you to where you need to go. Gasia has been strangely quiet this morning. Yeah. You havent been commenting on the traffic, gasia. Thank you for asking. All of the traffic that i didnt see on my way in, i saw that and more this morning. That there is the gasia i know and love. You will notice a lot of slow traffic after labor day. Part it was routine. More people on the road. Part of it has to part of it is blamed on the crashes we had. We had a couple of crashes west of carlson. One at gillman. 8 o 0 is slow. Getting into the Richmond Bridge is slow as well. You can see it is taking almost an hour. It improved slightly but not much to drive from the carquinez bridge to the macarthur maze. Another 20 minutes or so at the bay bridge toll plaza. If youre driving from vallejo to San Francisco this morning, were talking about an hour half almost to make that drive if youre in your vehicle alone. If you are using the carpool lane, it will be a little less because you will be able to use the lanes. This is a look at highway 24. Slow as well driving through. You will see slow traffic. Highway 4 has been slowing. Improving a little but solid over the hill to concord from antioch. 680 is also backed up from before 242. Were pretty jam packed on all of commutes, even the south bay commute is slow. All of them getting into the valley. So as you might imagine, steve, as we go to you. Yes. After labor day you cant wear white and you cant expect good traffic. What about the weather . Can you expect good weather. Thats your department. Okay. Thank you. Sal with the court retorte. We get to a hurricane there. If you ever said im thinking of jumping on twitter, dont be afraid. The information coming across is mind boggling. So much coming across. But we have a category 5 hurricane. There is no such thing as a category 6. Okay. Thats as high as it gets. Category 5. The wind is 175 whopping Miles Per Hours. Now 180. Did you just see that . Updated just now. 180. Of hurricane allen was the strongest in the atlantic at 190. Irma can certainly equal that. Maybe top it. We will see. It is the strongest cat 5. Allen lasted five days. We will see if irma does that as well. Certainly has the potential. What is the temperature . 86 degrees. And there is a wide swath of that. It gets warmer past the Leeward Islands and starts heading north of what looks like puerto rico. There are a few areas around 31c. But for the most part, it is 86 water temp. What was harveys 86 to 89. That is a tremendous Heat Transfer when it feeds off of the warm water. The track takes it almost all of them, somewhere towards florida. One takes it right over cuba, which would change a lot. Once it goes over land, it can lose a lot of its energy. Most of the forecast models take it the gfs takes into miami. The european model has a history of being the best at forecasting tracks on category 5 hurricanes. Takes it more towards the gulf side and tampa. And then the canadian forecast model there are many. Im giving you the three main ones that we know about here takes it up over cuba and eventually into the florida panhandle. There are projections of hurricane winds in all of florida late sunday and into monday. I believe the buccaneers play the Miami Dolphins on sunday. I do believe, dave. I think. They might want to make alternative plans for that. It looks like it is heading that direction. We get a lot of the the high clouds are thinning out. Maybe patchy fog showing itself. That is better air quality. We need a westerly wind. That will do it. Near 70 for some. San francisco, alameda and oakland. 60s, upper 60s, 70s. Fairfield, 73. San jose, 73. Upper 60s to mid60s. Santa cruz and gilroy are the same. The west wind is beginning to show itself. West southwest, west at napa airport, west around southern marin county. It is a cooler pattern for some. Not all. One low is forming here. That is what remains of the tropical system over us. There is another system coming in. These two will get together, if you will, drawing in moisture. I dont think that the low is going to go far. In fact, it will tap into the moisture and sit here and rotate around for maybe the next four or five days. Possibility of some widely scattered rain in here i think late thursday or friday. Ive been so busy. But ive been looking at it and it would not surprise me. Ill tackle it thursday and friday. The temps coming down, down. A few 90s but you have to go far north and east. A few showers friday right now. Right now my thinking is the north. We will see. We still have three days.

The raiders have asked him to rework his contract, one that will pay him 4 million this year. So far, he doesnt want to do it. He missed the last two preseason games with a back injury. And yesterday the raiders tried out three kickers. He has played 268 games for the raiders, more than any other player in raiders history. The raiders play the Tennessee Titans in nashville in sunday. A high school in Salt Lake City is fining students for being late. Many parents are upset about the policy. First, there is a warning. Second offense comes with a 3 fine. If it happens again, the fine goes up to 5. Parents say it is a money grab and wont fix the tardiness problem. We are trying to target the periods between classes where it is a choice, it is a personal decision of whether youre going to walk from class a to class b and be on time. It is opening a pandoras box. It wont fix the problem that theyre facing. If the students cant pay the fees, they can take lunch detention. The money will go towards a fund for student incentives. The time is 7 55. All this week we have highlighted successful bay area schools and educational programs. We are highlight the Hidden Genius Program. It introduces africanamerican boys in high school to computer science, business and leadership. It is a 15month boot camp that includes two summer sessions. Many of the students say it helps them to learn what it takes to be successful. What else is there . What is there to look forward to . You dont see many black people coding as much as you should. I wanted to be one that stands out the most. Before i wasnt thinking about like building my own business or anything. Now i want to build my own software and hopefully turn it into a company or something. Many of the students are becoming mentors themselves, giving back to other young people in the communities. Sometimes, you know, some of the greatest challenges they encounter has to do with how theyre perceived. They have little control over that. And yet were always trying to remind them they have a great deal to offer the world. Not just so they can excel but all can excel. The Hidden Genius Program is free for students and they also get a laptop. This friday, fox and ktvu fox 2 will broadcast a special called super school live. It will feature stars like tom hanks.

The justice department, where attorney general jeff segs is about to hold a news briefing to address the deferred action for childhood arrivals program, or daca. President trump already tweeting this morning, saying, congress, get ready to do your job. Daca. The fate of approximately 800,000 undocumented immigrants benefiting from daca now up in the air. Again, we will bring you this news briefing live as it happens. With that, we welcome you. Good morning, everyone. Welcome back to mornings on 2. It is tuesday, september 5th. Im mike mibach. Im gasia mikaelian. We will check weather and traffic quickly starting with our own steve paulson. Steve. All right. Thank you. A lot going on. Mike, good to see you. I havent seen you in about eight hours. We have a lot of cloud cover moving over us. It will be cooler today. Although the lows are up. 60s and 70s. Hint of patchy fog and a westerly breeze. Everything is off shore. It doesnt mean that it is gone completely. It may come back later in the week. 60s and 70s. Santa rosa, 71. San jose, 71. A lot of upper 60s and 70s, including windsor and hillsberg. All 70s. Bodega bay and point reyes at 67. The wind is trying, not more than 20 Miles Per Hour. But tell w. He will see hazy skies today. Partly sunny and a little cooler pattern here. Another system is coming in. That will tap into some of that. And i think give us a lot of cloud cover Going Forward the next few days. End of the week, widely scattered showers. It will cool down slowly. 70s and now 80s. Sal, what do you have. Were going to go quickly here. We have a look at the toll plaza. You can see the traffic is going to be busy as you drive through. Youre going to see a lot of slow traffic driving into the area. About a 25minute delay. Also this morning, were looking at highway 24. 680 and 24, the whole area has been slow. So dont count on a quick drive through any part of contra costa county. You can see there for yourself all of the road sensors are firing up red. On the maps in the south bay, we have a lot of slow traffic on 101, 280 and 85. Back to the desk. Any moment we expect to hear an announcement about to get underway here. Attorney Jeff Sessions comments on daca. Good morning. Im here to announce that the program known as daca that was effectuated under the Obama Administration is being rescinded. The daca program was implemented in 2012. And essentially provided a legal status for recipients for a renewable twoyear term, work authorization, and other benefits, including participation in the Social Security program to 800,000 mostly adult illegal aliens. The policy was implemented unilaterally to great controversy and legal concern after congress rejected proposals to extend similar benefits on numerous occasions to this same group of illegal aliens. In other words, the executive branch through daca deliberately sought to achieve what the legislative branch specifically refused to authorize on multiple occasions. Such an openended circumvent of laws was an unconstitutional exercise of the executive branch. This amnesty among other things contributed to a surge of minors at the border with humanitarian consequences and denied jobs to hundreds of thousands of americans by allowing the same illegal aliens to take the jobs. We inherited from our founders and have advanced an unsurpassed legal heritage which is the foundation of our freedom, our safety, and our prosperity. As the attorney general, it is my duty to ensure that the laws of the United States are enforced and the Constitutional Order is upheld. No greater good for the Overall Health and well being of our republic than preserving the rule of law. Societies where the rule of law are treasured are societies that tend to flourish and succeed. Societies where the rule of law is subject to political whims and personal biases tend to become societys afflicted by corruption, poverty and human suffering. To have a lawful system of immigration that serves the national interest, we cannot have admit everyone who would like to come here. It is just that simple. There is an open that would be an open borders policy. And the American People have rightly rejected that. Therefore the nation must set and enforce a limit on how many immigrants away how each year. That means that all cannot be accepted. This does not mean they are bad people or that our nation disrespects or de means them in any way. It means we are properly enforcing our laws as congress has passed them. It is with these principles and duties in mind and in light of imminent litigation that we reviewed the Obama Administrations daca policy. Our collective wisdom is that the policy is vulnerable to the same legal and constitutional challenges that the courts recognize with respect to the dapa program which was enjoined on a nationwide basis in a decision that was affirmed by the 5th circle court of appeals. The 5th circle specifically concluded that daca had not been implemented in a fashion that allowed sufficient discretion and that daca was foreclosed by congress careful plan, closed quote. In other words, the Immigration Law that Congress Passed foreclosed this possibility of daca. In other words, it was inconsistent with the constitution separation of powers. That decision was affirmed by the Supreme Court on an equally undivided basis. If we were to keep the Obama Administrations executive amnesty policy, the likeliest outcome is it too would be enjoined. The president and the homeland of security that the Homeland Security should begin a winddown including the cancellation of the memo that authorized this program. Acting secretary duke has chosen appropriately to initiate a winddown process. This will enable the department of Homeland Security to conduct an orderly change and fulfill the desire of this administration to create a time period for congress to act should it so choose. We firmly believe this is the responsible path. Simply put, if we are to further our goal of strengthening the Constitutional Order and the rule of law in america, the department of justice cannot defend this overreach. George Washington University law professor jonathan turling in testimony before the House Judiciary Committee was clear about the infirmities raised by this action. He said, quote, in his testimony, in ordering this blanket exception, president obama was nullifying part of a law that he simply disagreed with. If a president can claim sweeping discretion to suspend key federal laws, the entire legislative process becomes little more than a pretense. It undermines the authority of this branch he is referring to the legislative branch but destablizing the system as a whole. So this is not a little matter. Ending the previous administrations disrespect for the legislative process is an important first step. All immigration policies should serve the interest of the people of the United States. Lawful i am grant and nay immigrant and native born alike. Congress should pursue the types of reforms right for the American People. Our nation is comprised of good and decent people who want their governments leaders to fulfill their promises and advance an immigration policy that serves the national interest. We are people of compassion and we are people of law. But there is nothing compassionate about the failure to enforce Immigration Laws. Enforcing the law saves lives, protecting communities and taxpayers, and prevents human suffering. Failure to enforce the laws in the past has put our nation at risk of crime, violence, and terrorism. The compassionate thing to do is end the lawlessness, enforce our laws, and if congress chooses to make changes to the law, to do so through the process set forth by our founders. In a way that advances the interest of the American People. That is what the president had promised to do. And has delivered to the American People. Under President Trumps leadership, this administration has made great progress in the last few months toward establishing a lawful and constitutional immigration system. This makes us safer and more secure. It will further economically the lives of million whos are struggling and it will enable our country to more effectively teach new immigrants about our system of government and to assimilate them to the cultural understandings that support it. The substantial progress in reducing illegal immigration and our border seen in recent months is almost entirely due to the leadership of President Trump and his inspired immigration officers. But the problem is not yet solved. And without more action, we could see illegality rise. As a candidate and now in office President Trump has offered ideas and legislative solutions that will protect american workers, increase wages and salaries, defend the national security, ensure the public safety, and increase the general well being of the American People he has worked closely with many members of congress, including in the introduction of the reyes act that would produce enormous benefits for our country. This is how the democratic process works. Every one has a constitutional right to advocate their views and represent whomever they choose. But the department of justice does not represent any narrow interest or any subset of the American People. We represent all of the American People and protect the integrity of our constitution. That is our charge. We are at the department of justice are proud and honored to work to advance this vision for america and do our best each day to ensure the safety and security of the American People. Thank you very much. Uch. Listening live to attorney general Jeff Sessions as he Just Announced essentially what we expected. That daca is being rescinded, affecting 800,000 people who came to the United States illegally, most brought here as children by their parents. Now they are scrambling for what to do. Joining us now is joe garofoli. 10minute address. Strong words. Your thoughts. There will be 225,000 people in california who are freaking out. They have been able to get drivers licenses, go to school, get work, and now what . And the other thing that was that was noticeable with attorney general sessions, there is an orderly winddown. Winddown process. Yes. And how long they would have to, you know, figure out what to do next. We didnt get a specific timeline on that. We didnt hear six months, eight months, three months. There will be people freaking out about their lives right now. Procedurally what comes next. You have to figure out how long that winddown is. Right. What do they have todo what do they do. The question that many have, do they self deport or go into hiding or underground. If they go underground, it exacerbates the problem that we have with undocumented immigrants anyways. Look at the politics, the president said it both ways. We have to end the way that immigration happens in this country. But were going to do something. Were going to take care of the dreamers. Were going to show heart with them. I dont know how this shows heart. He is going to have to show notice who made the announcement. Not President Trump. It was not President Trump. His fingerprints are way off this, at least on camera. Is there a legislative solution . Thats yes, there is. Attorney general sessions said, yes, it is up to congress if they want to make a law here. It is up to them to do this. These guys are batting zero right now for 2017. They have not been able to do anything with the president. There are some signs of hope. There has been some conservative senators and congressmen who normally wouldnt be havent been on board but are now. So we might be seeing something. If it is just a very narrow solution for this population, this 800,000 to a Million People nationwide, 225,000 in california, the odds are better that something can be crafted just for them. House Speaker Paul Ryan did not support daca when it was announced in 2012. He wanted the president to keep it in place. Is daca a hot potato. Absolutely. Ryan sees the politics, demographic writing on the wall. Republicans need the votes. They cannot continue to be the party of old white people if they want a long history. They have done everything that they can to alienate themselves from latino voters. In 2012 after they lost the election, they said we have to reach out to latino voters, young voters. They have done neither. They have gone backwards. This might soften it a little bit. Younger leaders like ryan might say we have to do something. Why so quickly . There is so much going on in the world. Their hand was forced by these ten republican attorneys generals. The lawsuits. Yeah. Basically gave them a deadline. September 5th. You have to come up with a solution or were going to file suit. They basically forced their hand. The hand has been forced. We listened to the attorney general. He mentioned asimulation. You and i remarked, this is you didnt hear a lot about assimulation in the previous administration. No. You kind of fit into the american dream. There is some of that. But, you know, as we have evolved as a culture, we said everybody bring their best selfs to the country. And we learned from that. What makes us all a better country. That was a political nod to the conservative right who wants everyone to come over here and, you know, were all one kind of american. Thats the way that i kind of read it. I dont know. Do you have a feeling on that. It hit my ear because it was a concept that i hadnt heard from the white house in several years, if not more. Something that stuck out towards the beginning of the address is when he said that daca denied americans jobs. And recently a lot of tech ceos in the bay area, this is the silicon valley, they said dreamers are vital to the future of our company. They create jobs. Absolutely. How many ceos, startups are immigrants in this country. Many of them. 40 is the stat that i saw. You have high tech workers, agriculture workers. You have Young College graduates. These folks are intro bat to our culture. This will have an economic effect. I think when that is seen, that may move congress. There is only one thing that moves congress, economic effects. Otherwise its just noise. If that is pushed, if the Business Community continues to push hard, and they have, the Tech Industry has said that. We may get movement that way. Thank you for joining us, joe. We will bring you back on the 9. This points to the question of the day. We have been asking you, do you support or oppose the daca program. We will take a look at the numbers. 77 say you support it. 23 say you oppose it. Let us know what you think by voting on the ktvu twitter page and you can comment on the ktvu Facebook Page. Lets help get you out the door on a tuesday that feels like a monday, sal. It sure does, gasia and mike. And a lot of people are on the grind on 80, which is one of the slowest commutes in the bay area. Today it is over an hour, more than an hour to grief from the carquinez bridge to the macarthur maze because of earlier issues that have been cleared. We had three significant crashes along the way. Just a lot of people back after the holiday. Most schools are back in, if not all schools that will be having a fall session are in session. And you can see it on the morning commute at the bay bridge toll plaza. It is backed up all the way out to the maze. And those metering lights are on. So driving from vallejo to San Francisco could reach an hour and a half, depending on, you know, how long that is, you might consider taking a ferry or using public transportation. Highway 4 is slow. It has improved a little bit. What caught my attention here is 680, it is backed up almost to highway 4. And so is 242. It has been kind of a beast here driving into the walnut creek area. At 8 19, lets bring in steve with todays weather. All right, sal. Well get to our weather in a second. We have speaking of a beast, a monster mode now on cat 5 Hurricane Irma. 180 Miles Per Hour wind. This is the second strongest ever. Only hurricane allen in 1980 had wind at 190 Miles Per Hour. But there is still time. 140. 180 now. Cat 5 heading towards the Leeward Islands and into puerto rico and to thing in. The forecast tracks take it all over the place. Generally up to the bahamas. And most of these take it at least into the bahamas, Dominican Republic, haiti and cuba. The canadian model takes it over cuba. The european model takes it on the gulf side and up towards tampa. 180 Miles Per Hour category 5. No such thing as a category 6. The bulk are coming to a consensus in between cuba and south florida. It would not be until the weekend. We have about four, five days before you can get a better idea. The higher clouds are thinning out. The stage is now set for a cooler pattern. The air quality will be better today. Partly sunny skies. Underneath this is fog. I can see it in the gray right there. Starting to come into a better picture here. A mix of low and high clouds. 60s and 70s. Very slow to warm up. Most locations within a degree or two. There you go. Consistency. 67, bodega bay. 67 in graton. Mill valley almost 70. 72 in napa. Glenn helen, almost 70. Not much of a difference here. West wind is more pronounced towards the coast. A few locations up to 20 Miles Per Hour. These higher clouds will clear out. We will have lower clouds as well. The system is not going anywhere. It will hang around through friday and saturday. Then the system coming in right there will draw in the moisture. This will play back into the weather heading towards thursday and friday under cloudy skies and. Last friday was blazing hot. This friday will be 30 degrees cooler as a low sets off of the coast. I dont think it will go anywhere. Also we will see some i think the coast is dealing with fog. It looks tough on the temps. Suffice it to say, we are cooling off and will continue to do so through thursday. Thank you, steve. Appreciate it. Still to come on mornings on 2, the possible impact that Hurricane Irma could have right here in the United States. This is the new comfort food. Grown right here in california, with absolutely no antibiotics ever. A better way to grow, a better way to eat. And it starts with foster farms simply raised chicken. California grown with no antibiotics ever. People in the caribbean preparing as Hurricane Irma barrels towards the region as a category 5. It could hit puerto rico and the Dominican Republic before possibly hitting florida this weekend. Floridas governor has already declared a state of emergency for every county to make sure that local governments have enough time and resources to prepare for what could be a very dangerous storm. Were going to get something. So better to be safe than sorry. Be ready and expect the worst. If nothing else bad happens, you can have a party in your backyard after the storm is over. There will be deteriorating conditions tomorrow, with the worst of the rain and wind arriving wednesday night. Some businesses and schools in parts of texas will reopen today for the First Time Since Hurricane Harvey hit there. Is still a very long road to row cover re. Access to Sewer Service and Drinking Water is still a problem in many areas. Streets are full of debris waiting to be picked up. Other streets are still flooded. More than 60 deaths have been blamed on harvey. Fema says half a million families have registered for housing assistance. The total devastation, the water. It was it was like it was like a nightmare. Congress returns from their summer break today. Theyre expected to talk about a nearly 8 billion relief package. A major announcement surrounding daca. More on attorney general Jeff Sessions briefs that we airs moments ago. The ballybunion fire in gilroy is still burning 100 acres. Crews have made significant progress. There is still another challenge up in the hills for fire crews. Good morning. We do have a lot of slow traffic out there. And if you are driving on the east bay commute, you will see a lot of it on your way out to downtown oakland. The time is 8 29. Welcome back to mornings on 2, this tuesday, september 5th. Im gasia mikaelian. Im mike mibach. We will get to steve in a bit. First lets send it over to Sal Castaneda and a look at the roads. Good morning, mike and gasia. Still a lot of slow traffic on the morning commute. I have seen some signs of it Getting Better if you wait it out. If thats your practice. You may have to wait a little longer. It was an hour a few moments ago on this commute. Still about an hour from the carquinez bridge to the macarthur maze. And there is still a lot of time for you to wait at the bay bridge toll plaza as well. About the only good thing that i can say, no crashes on the bridge itself. So if you make yourself yourself to the teleplays a you will be in a typical commute. Highway 4 is slower. 680, a lot of people are stuck there this morning. In the south bay, all of the freeways are very slow. I wouldnt recommend one or the other. If you want to avoid 85, you will get on 280, which is slow, and so is 101 all the way up into sunnyvale and cupertino. A small spot in san jose that is open but southbound 280 is slow. 8 30. Now here is steve with todays weather. Thank you, sal. Some sun out there. The clouds are moving to the north and out to the pacific. Low clouds showing up. Havent seen that in a while. Patchy low clouds around. It looks like temperatures you can see the higher clouds clearing out right there. Some of this is not going to go far. It will hang out for a while and get drawn back in by the weekend. Sfo at 73. San jose, 74 degrees. So quite mild, kind of muggy. But cooler. You see the 60s and 70s even to the north. And the breeze is trying to pick up. I mean, it is not screaming yet. It is picking up out of the west southwest. That will help with the air quality as well. That system is going to sit there for a couple of days. There is another one pushing in which i think will drop our temps and give us a few widely scattered showers thursday and friday. 70s and 80s but cooler weather continues, you two. Thank you, steve. Minutes ago we brought you Jeff Sessions speaking live, telling us that President Trump is moving to rescind the daca program. The program protects some 800,000 young people undocumented immigrants across our country protects them from deportation. The attorney general said the department of Homeland Security is being told to, quote, wind down the daca program. To have a lawful system of immigration that serves the national interest, we cannot admit everyone who would like to come here. It is just that simple. There is an that would be an open borders policy. And the American People have rightly rejected that. Sessions said Homeland Securitys winddown process would create a time period for congress to act if it chooses. Sessions did not specify in his remarks how long that time period would be. But it had been reported that congress would be given six months to come up with legislation to save the daca program. Many people are now wondering what is next. A number of events are planned in the south bay in response to the announcement. Jessie gary is joining us live from the san jose studios with more on the story. Good morning. There are a number of events, one at 10 00 in the morning at the board of supervisors. And at 11 30 over at mlk library in downtown san jose. The reaction has been swift. It started last week with word of the leak. President trump had promised to get rid of daca during the campaign. But then after he was elected president , he said the issue was much more complicated and it required more study. There was a hope that he would not get rid of daca. Now as we heard from the attorney general, he will wind down daca. Daca is the delayed action on childhood arrivals. It allows children who came here before they were 16 years of age to stay in the u. S. And get documentation as far as drivers license, they can go to school, et cetera, work permits, as long as they have no criminal history and stay out of trouble. Canceling the program after positive momentum, a lot of people say that is wrong and it will do more harm than good. We spoke to a woman who was a daca participant. All of the students and parents under daca, you know, it wouldnt only affect them. But it is a chain reaction. It will affect our children and our Family Members. Again, two events at least planned in the south bay, the first at 10 00 this morning over at the board of supervisors. We will be there and stream that for you live and have an update for you at noon. Live in the san jose studios, jessie gary, ktvu fox 2 news. Thank you, jessie. Global tensions continue to grow as north korea tested a Hydrogen Bomb last weekend. President trump quoted i am allow japan and south korea to buy an increased amount of highly sophisticated military equipment from the United States. The white house is pushing for a peaceful solution but it says all options diplomatic, economic, and military are still under consideration. Russia and china have told the u. S. To tone down its rhetoric so the situation does not escalate. China has also warned the north korean government not to escalate tensions. The leader of north korea kim jongun has a history of marking anniversaries with displays. That has many experts expecting north korea to launch another missile this weekend or even sooner. Back here at home, frights in gilroy are making big progress on a brush fire burning near homes. We got an update an hour ago. The fire is now 35 contained thanks to the humidity and low winds. Reporter new cal fire crews have arrived to begin their 24 hour shifts here at the ballybunion fire. It is 35 contained this morning. You can still see smoke plumes coming from the hills and the smell of fire. But fire crews hearsay they feel pretty good about the progress that has been made. They have been fighting it since 7 00 sunday night. The fire appears to have started near homes in the adjacent neighborhood of eagle ridge, a gated country club community. Crews had cut a fire line with 10 percent containment yesterday. Now there is 35 containment on a fire burning some 100 acres. Planes and helicopters were hitting hot spots hard with water during daylight hours. The dozers made great progress overnight. There is a new challenge this morning for fire crews. There is really steep terrain out there. The dozers will go as far as possible that they can go. Then we have to send in our hand crews and hike in by foot and actually put our line in by hand with the tools, the hand tools, the shovels, followed by the firefighters with the hose line to put the fire out. Reporter homeowners prepared to leave over the weekend. Luckily no one was evacuated last night and the fire is not threatening any homes. Now, the priority today is for firefighter safety. Were told from one fire captain, it is billy goat terrain up there. One firefighter was injured yesterday, falling 40 feet. He just had minor injuries, thank goodness, and was treated and released from the hospital. It is back to normal for the local residents. Roads are back open and school is back in session. Leigh martinez, ktvu fox 2. It could be a couple more hours before we know if fire cruise in Southern California are making progress against the la tuna fire, 20 miles north of downtown los angeles. It was 30 contained last night. Air crews are about to take off and survey the fire area so they can calculate how much it grew overnight. A little rain and cooler temperatures helped them yesterday. They are hoping for the same conditions this morning. A man died after a train hit his car. It happened in redwood city. Reporter investigators say the man who was killed was likely driving fairly fast down buckingham avenue and may not have realized that this street comes to an end right here. The car plowed through the fence, flew through the air and landed on its side on the train tracks. Witnesses say minutes later, a northbound cal train slammed into the vw sedan, dragging it for at least a half mile. The man in the car was killed in the accident. He was 29 years old from redwood city. No passengers were on board the train which was out of service at the time. And the operator was not hurt in the accident. Neighbors heard a loud bang from that initial crash and came outside just in time to see that speeding train plow into the car. We were just in shock. We werent expecting the car to be right in front of us. We the bang was really loud. It sounded like it was right next to us. Right across from us. We dont know whether he died from the initial collision or died as a result of the collision with the train. Were doing a joint investigation with the sheriffs.

Part of the reason for the change there is that the pittsburgh airport was built with a mall with a lot of shops. They want to let people in to do that.

As i was looking at the articles on this, i found that the street says if you invested in the s p 500, just for the month of september over the past 50 years, you would have lost 29 of your capital. Oh. So a lot of theories as to why september and october. The retailers slow down ahead of the holiday. There is corporate changes, economic news. But no real reason. But hiss three shows that september and october are rough. Slow and steady win the race. You have to keep it in for the longterm. Thanks, pam. Lets check in with salon this Tuesday Morning commute, post labor day. Here we go. Yeah. It is really filling in, mike and gasia, as you probably expected it it to. All of the commutes are busy at this time. Look at 280. 280 normally where we have a light commute is slow.

I think they will come back late thursday and into friday as another system sweeps them back in here. And happy to report that the air quality is now good to moderate for much of the bay area. Not unhealthy. So we are getting more of a westerly breeze. You really need it in the upper levels of the atmosphere. That sends it out of the air. Many fires north and east and south. We had a north wind for a while. Now getting a west southwest. That improves the air quality. The clouds are lifts and the temperatures are getting cooler and the High Pressure losing its grips. Everything is pointing towards better air quality and cooler conditions, even though the lows were very mild due to the cloud cover. 60s and 70s. Didnt matter if it was north, south, east, west. Everybody was close here. 73, danville. 73 in san ramon. Even vallejo, martinez and American Canyon in the upper 70s. That west wind is now maybe not so much here, but a westerly component is picking up. That is helping to improve the air quality. The clouds will lift out of the area. Mostly sunny. Not great air quality but better than it was. The system will not hang out here. There is another one that will latch on to that. I dont think it will go far. It may hang around central, Southern California for the next four or five days. It will keep cloud cover in here and drop temperatures towards the end of the week. 70s and 80s on the temps. We have broken the back of that heat wave, mike. It is out of here. On the back side. On the back side. Going downhill. Yes, sir. That will take us into thursday.
