Rick boone, nbc bay area news. Rick, thank you very much. The president S Immigration ban is still on hold because the ninth Circuit Court of appeals in San Francisco declined to immediately reinstate it. Nbc bay areas Marianne Favro has a closer look at the complicated court case. It started of course in Washington State and here we are in San Francisco. Yes, and now the ninth Circuit Court of appeals has asked for both sides to file legal briefs before the court makes its final decision. This after a federal judge halted the program friday. Legal analysts say the ninth Circuit Court is considered the most liberal court in the u. S. The u. S. Justice department is asking to pause the decision by u. S. District court judge james robart who suspended trumps executive order. As you know, that order barred citizens of seven muslim majority countries from entering the u. S. For 90 days. Legal experts we talked to today say the burden of proof is now with the Justice Department. Theres no question that the Justice Department has an uphill battle here. The state of washington has already shown to a trial judge and at least implicitly to the ninth circuit that they have a probable a chance of probable success on the merits of the case. Attorney dean johnson says a threejudge panel from the ninth circuit will be selected randomly to make the decision. He says if that panel ends up being comprised of liberal judges, and the uphold the District Court judges decision, then the travel ban would be over. The governments brief repeatedly asserts that president ial authority cannot be questioned by judges once the nations security is invoked. Back to you. It is complicated indeed. Marianne, thank you very much. Not just here in the bay area but tearful reunions are under way across the country. Take a look at the scene in chicago today as a father was reunited with his wife and daughter. They too were coming to the u. S. From yemen. And in new york, iranian researcher nima enyadi boarded a flight to new york today. He received a visa to conduct research at stanford university. Enyadi says he started calling airlines as soon as the court blocked the ban, looking for the quickest, most direct flight. He said he would go anywhere, as long as the plane landed in the u. S. During a night of high style glamour, raising money for the American Red Cross on saturday in florida, President Trumps only comment about the ban was, quote, for the safety of our country, well win. On twitter, though, today the president a bit more outspoken, tweeting, cannot believe a judge would put our country in such peril. If something happens, blame him. The white house says it will keep fighting until the travel ban gets reinstated, even if that means taking this case all the way to the supreme court. Coming up in 20 minutes, Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi has been very outspoken about the president s policies. She shares her thoughts on immigration and the ban and how the Democratic Party is reacting to it. Well have part of her interview, from this morning on meet the press.

The next time youre on the freeway, you might think differently when you see a big rig. Many Truck Drivers describe their vehicles as traveling time bombs. Pretty frightening. New allegations that a device designed to cut pollution could actually be causing big rigs to burst into flames, putting Public Safety at risk. Senior Investigative Reporter vicky nguyen has more. We share the roads with these trucks every day. Now drivers tell us there is a hidden danger on their trucks that could spark a fire on a highway you drive. It tells you regen required. Ive got over 5 million miles. Reporter he hauls everything from solid waste to soda pop. Its a good occupation. Got my kids through college, paid for my house and my toys. Reporter last february, he could only watch as his beloved truck burned. I timed it. Eight minutes, that truck was burned to the frame. Thats all it took. Reporter you could have been inside that truck. Could have been sitting in there when it caught on fire. I feel fortunate that i was out of it, didnt get burned trying to save the truck. You know, its your truck. Something to me that can be completely preventible. Youre talking about a crime scene. Reporter jason, like many other truckers we spoke with, believes the fire was caused by a diesel particulate filter or dpf. California started requiring the device for all Diesel Engine vehicles in 2007. Roughly a million trucks in this state are equipped with one, and those trucks travel the country. The filter traps 99 of the soot produced by diesel trucks, cutting air pollution by capturing small particles from a trucks exhaust before they get into the air. Keith says his truck fire ignited while the filter was undergoing a cleaning process called regeneration, burning all that captured soot into a fine ash. The cause of the fire is undetermined. But insurance investigators suspect it started somewhere in the exhaust treatment system. Their report notes the Company Investigated several similar fires but pen pointiinpointing is difficult because, quote, the exhaust gets so hot that evidence is consumed. The filters are expensive. They are dangerous. And they dont work. Reporter bud caldwell owns a petroleum and trucking company. He formed an alliance to challenge the states rules requiring filters. The group points to a series of filter failures including two recalls for filters, including a fire in washington that destroyed 25 homes. These were not ready for prime time when they were put forward. Reporter theyre suing the state, asking for restitution for drivers with damaged trucks. These filters do not cause fires. Reporter hes the chief of enforcement at the California Air resources board. You say theres no link between the filters and fires. In your report, you investigated 13 fires, you found three fires were linked to the filters and you issued two recalls. That is true, that we issued two recalls. Reporter he acknowledges some of the initial filters put on the market were linked to fires. But hes confident newer trucks with filters work safely. He says c. A. R. B. Investigated roughly three dozen fires since 2009. We have looked at the the fire issue extensively and we dont see evidence linking filters on the road today and fires. Reporter while they havent found a connection between newer filters and fighters, there is a high failure rate. Those faulty parts are still used on trucks today. Why havent you come down stronger and addressed these issues sooner . These parts are failing at a high rate. There are a number of hoops we have to jump look at and prove in order to force the manufacturers to take action. In this case were essentially not able to do so. Reporter and what happens to the truckers and the businesses and these folks in between while all thats happening . Well, like i said, these instruction are safe to drive. If they have problems with the trucks, theyre going to need to repair them. Reporter as for keith daniels, the lifelong trucker says he hopes this issue will be resolved and soon so other drivers wont have the same close call he did. You think you can go out and do your job and come home safely, you know. The alliance for california business first sued the state unsuccessfully in 2015. But they say the new lawsuit contains new fires, including keiths. Meanwhile, c. A. R. B. Is working to false manufacturers to fix faulty parts. What happens when theres a fire on the highway and its unclear what sparked it . The state wants drivers to report those fires right away so they can investigate, guys.

Is the Democratic Party strategy just obstruct the whole time . Is it to take that playbook that the republicans used, that politically you could argue was very successful . If we can talk about job creation and infrastructure legislation, thats a Real Infrastructure bill and not a tax break for his rich friends, then theres something we can talk about. If we can talk about work and family balance, about childcare and Early Childhood education, paid sick leave, lets see where we can find that. I want to make this point, chuck, and its very important, because people say to me, how long will it take republicans to give up on trump . Trumps agenda is their agenda. They have voted over 60 times to overturn the Affordable Care act. They have voted almost every week on the committee and the floor to overturn dodd frank and aspects of it. Theyre very much in sync.
