A followup now on the east bay book club booted off the Napa Valley Wine Train a week ago. The group has not filed a lawsuit against the trains owners, but their attorney isnt ruling it out. The 11 members used cell phones to record their removal from the train when another passenger complained they were too noisy. The book club has retained a San Francisco civil rights attorney. He has said he intends to sue the train for up to 5 million. Today he tells us no lawsuit has been filed, because he plans to meet with wine train executives first. The trains ceo has already publicly apologized. Chris brown is in some hot water. The entertainer faces a lawsuit today filed by one of the five people who were shot during this party at a san jose nightclub.

South bay leaders are grappling with the new plan tore dealing with undocumented immigrants. Homeland security wants police to work more closely with i. C. E. Agents. Marianne favro has the mixed reaction to this plan. Reporter this is definitely a hotbutton issue.

But today many of those same people sat down with local leaders to talk about the issue. Santa clara county sheriffs deputies, representatives from the d. A. s office and a handful of Community Members met today in the county supervisors chambers to talk about pep com, a proposal by Homeland Security to give local Law Enforcement more opportunities to alert i. C. E. When they have arrested an undocumented immigrant. We know that collusion with federal i. C. E. Is bad for Public Safety in our county. Reporter when sanchez allegedly killed kate steinle in San Francisco this summer, her death became the flashpoint in the National Immigration debate. And prompted some people who live in the south bay to urge county supervisors to strengthen sheriffs deputies ties to i. C. E. I believe people who are serious and violent felonies and been convicted, we should at least notify i. C. E. If theyre in this country illegally. The challenge is that the program is very, very broad. So as i said, that it started out by saying were looking for serious and violent convicted offenders. But then there is a very long list of Everything Else they would be interested in. Reporter supervisors must balance the need for Public Safety with helping the immigrant community feel safe enough to work with Law Enforcement to report crime. Staff will now forward the issues discussed today to the county supervisors who will take up this issue on september 15th. Reporting live in san jose, marianne favro, nbc bay area news.

Those two wooden poles, those are the temporary fixes at this point. They will need to replace them with metal towers, and when they put that project in, likely 101 will have to be closed down again. Saturday traffic along 101 looked more like a congested weekday rush hour. Bumper to bumper conditions along the highway, then a quiet day at the porsche audi dealership in burlingame. We rely on weekend traffic. There was none to be had. It was all stuck in the on the streets.

A few low 90s but starting to drop off to 88 and in San Francisco, 72 degrees. Well get a check of any fog moving in, and you can see in the Golden Gate Bridge camera, no fog at the current moment. We do expect those low clouds to roll back in for your morning forecast. So lets go ahead and advance past monday into your tuesday morning.

Check out the rainfall totals. They could range anywhere from 1 to maybe 2. 5 inches, that goes from seattle right back into montana. In fact, some areas of montana could see 3, maybe 5 inches.
