Effort. Reporter President Trump touting the amped up approach towards fighting isis something he vowed to do throughout the president ial campaign. If you look at whats happened over the last 8 weeks and compare that to what happened over the last 8 years, you will see theres tremendous difference. Reporter as for how much one of the bombs cost, about 16 Million Dollars and the one just dropped was part of a group that cost 314 Million Dollars to develop. Expensive. Expensive that hit an isis tunnel and what are the capabilities of a bomb hike this. Reporter the point of this one is the tunnel and cave complex gives themi places to hide and its hard to get to the enemy fighters if you are on the ground and you its hard to get from the air as well. What the bomb does is explodes above ground about 6 feet above the ground and sends out the huge shock wave. So anything that is in a mile radius of the explosion its vaporized is what we are hearing and beyond that it will leave people disabled and bloody ear drums and those things and even if they are buried in the tunnels. And that prevents the loss of life from American Forces that have to go there on the ground where the people are dug in. This way they can clear that area out with this above ground explosion. We heard about the tomahawk missile attack in syria. How does a tomahawk compare to this moab. Reporter there are some similarities. They are gps guide and use satellites to coordinate their targets. So they are very accurate. But the tomahawks used in syria 59 were launched each one had a thousand pound warhead on it. This bomb has 21,600 pounds so this one bomb was roughly almost half the force of all the tomahawks that were launched in syria. There are 20 of these moab bombs in existence. This was a first one used we dont know if they will use them again. And this is used along israeli i mean afghan pakistan border where there were reports Osama Bin Laden may have been hiding after the september 11th attack. Reporter mountenous and theres caves that have been dug in and tunnels and its dangerous for u. S. Especially special forces to get into to try to hunt the people down. We understand that there were efforts to make sure there were no civilians in the area when this particular bomb was dropped. So hopefully thats not the case. We are waiting to get a Damage Assessment from the military to find out exactly what this bomb explosion accomplished. All right ken thank you. House minority leader was home in San Francisco today and was asked about the bombing a she called it an escalation. It should be subbed to review by members of congress. For these things to be happening without congress being part of the debate raises serious questions as to the justification and the results as to what this is about.

Santa clara county is bracing for a what could be a turning point in the immigration debate. 9th Circuit Court of appeals will rule on a preliminary injunction request.

Reporter Standing Shoulder to shoulder and four rows deep members of the Santa Clara County community all united in their opposition to the Trump Administration. 1. 7 billion dollars in federal funding could be denied to this county because county officials of all stripes refuse to help immigration agents enforceexisting law. The loss of federal funding is not just an immigration issue. Its a entire community issue. Seniors, families, children, your neighbor. Reporter board of supervisors president cites a released study from the center for American Progress that shows socalled sanctuary counties do better not worse than those that are not. The studies findings are that on average, there are 35. 5 fewer crimes per 10,000 people. Median Household Income is more than 4300 higher.

A ruling in our favor tomorrow will give temporary protection to funding owed to us and communities like us across the country. Reporter he haze coined the term constitutional jurisdictions and says he believes that the law is on this groups side. Our children need to understand just how fragile our system of government is and if we are not vigilant and hold our government accountable we could very well lose the democracy we have taken for granted for so long. Reporter the temporary injunction may not be the final words since the Republican Controlled Congress could still block funding for sanctuary jurisdictionss. So officials here are hoping for the best with tomorrows ruling. But planning for the worst. To that end board of supervisors president says he and the other supervisors are building backup funning into next years building which they are drafting right now.

But this area here, its super important because this is where the rain is stored and this matters when we talk about drought and we talk about the health of californias agricultural economy and the wettest one on record is that green line and 1982. I remember that year like nobodys business and i got to tell you watch this. The yellow line thats where we are now.

We are pushing forward with more rain in the forecast. And theres more snow up in the mountains as well but just another example of how incredible this winter has been in terms of rainfall coming off 5 years of significant drought. We had just now had the wettest year ever recorded in that 8 mounten index since 1926. Thats a long time of record keeping.
