Evaluated to the west coast. The Tsunami Center is saying the threat is being evaluated. So stay tuned. Dan and dion okay. Thank you very much, sandy. Well stay on top of that of course. But lets move on. You know when they say every vote counts, this congressional race is exactly why they say that former san jose mayor sam liccardo will be in the november general election, but his opponent is to be determined. Joe simitian holds a five vote lead on evan lowe, abc seven News Reporter zach fuentes is live at the Registrars Office in san jose. And zach, this is an important day, really and potentially settling this race. That is absolutely right. Today at 5 00 was the deadline for people who had ballots that needed to be fixed to come in and correct them. Now that that deadline is past, after these weeks of fluctuating votes, all of the votes in ballots that can be counted are in leading us. That much closer to final election results. The primary elections happened march fifth. But in the race to replace retiring congresswoman anna eshoo, the results have been far from final. March 12th was the last day county election offices received ballots sent by election day. Now, april 2nd at 5 p. M. Was the next important deadline. The last day to cure any ballots that were out there that werent they werent signed or the signatures didnt match. Election Officials Say voters have had weeks to fix or cure their ballots. We send them multiple letters, emails, texts. However, we can get a hold of the voters so we could tell them, like why their ballot isnt counted yet and they can come in and cure it. Thats what the ballot process is, where they can come fix it or sign something saying, yes, this is my signature. In santa clara county. Many people have taken officials up on the offer, and total, they were nearly 1500 challenge ballots that needed to be fixed by deadline. There were around 500. San mateo county reported just over 400 before deadline. Each number significant as they could be the final votes that decide the close race for second in the california congressional district, 16 race candidate and former san jose mayor sam liccardo is in first place by a long shot, but who is opponent will be is unclear. Santa clara county supervisor joe simitian and state Assembly Member evan lowe have been back and forth in the second place spot at one point, the two were separated by as few as two votes, but until the april 2nd deadline, numbers were still changing as challenge ballots were being cured and processed. Simitian sent us a statement tuesday that said, in part, the election offices in both counties have been verifying voter signatures over the past few weeks to make sure that every vote that can be counted will be counted. Right now, were waiting to hear from them. Lowes team said they will make a statement after the county certify the election. The counties will issue those final results on april fourth. After that, the secretary of state will then certify the results on april 12th. Now, in the final stretch of counting, Officials Say this race serves as an important reminder. We like to say every single vote counts, right . We want to make sure that every voter knows they make a difference in every election. So in its last report, San Mateo County did say that they had about a dozen less challenged ballots. So people did come in and cure ballots there. Here in santa clara county, they waited until that 5 p. M. Deadline to see if more people would cure their ballots. They did not see that. So their most recent results, which they posted at five, they say might likely not change moving forward. Again, though, we still have to get to those certification dates. And then after the certifications, the candidates do have the option to ask for a recount. Right now. Live in san jose, zach fuentes, abc seven news. Still a long way to go, zach.

A witness in the nearby safeway says she heard about 16 to 20 shots. Weve all seen the headlines. The United States is dealing with a massive surge of immigrants, many from latin america. Now, some of those migrants are ending up in the bay area, but there hasnt been good data to track just how many are coming here. Until now. Abc seven news. Luz pena explains shes live in the newsroom. That data is coming really loose from an unexpected place. Were talking about the schools. Thats right, dan, San Francisco is a sanctuary city, and one of the first things that many immigrant families do when they arrive here is enroll their kids in school and even though sfusd does not ask a familys immigration status, their data may now help other San Francisco agencies deal with this ongoing crisis. Pagina es para la nacion. Its been a long journey, but finally, the avilas brothers were reunited with their mom in San Francisco, alejos. My kids got here last week, 16 year old eric and his 12 year old brother freddie fled guatemala hoping for a better future. Today, their mom is enrolling them in school. Undermined theres no more fear for safety, but the simple question will i make new friends . Nervous . Im nervous. Just like the avilas. There are hundreds of families coming into the San FranciscoUnified School District offices every month. More immigrant migrant families coming into our office, often our families are coming and they are arriving sometimes just the day before. And this is the first stop. The School DistrictsEnrollment Office has now turned into a resource center. For many. You could say were going a little beyond what the Enrollment Center office is. So were going to get two backpacks. Every student whos enrolled here gets new supplies, but many need more than just notebooks. Weve had families living in cars and sleeping on the streets, before theyre able to, to access some kind of Shelter Service through the city. A decade ago, sfusd created rice, a safe to help asylum seekers. And lately, they noticed the need has increased. Were seeing about, i would say, an average of 150 newly enrolled students every single month since about, december of 2023. And every month somewhere between like 5 to 15 of those families report being unhoused. As of ucsds, working with the citys Civic Engagement and immigrant affairs office, who noticed the uptick 18 months ago. And not all are coming from latin america. There are some families that are coming from ukraine, for example, where we know a why . Because of the war. We also have seen, an influx of chinese immigrants coming through the southern border, and i, we know that, many of them make a stop in south america and then come up through Central America and through mexico before they reach the us border. Sfusd workers are truly going above and beyond. So now, why is this data important . Well, recently, San Francisco reported the refugee migration is putting pressure on the citys system of care, especially its family shelter system. And this led to a proposal by two San Francisco supervisors for the city to increase capacity in family shelters in the newsroom. Luz pena, abc seven news. All right, luce, thanks.

Now, statewide, the snowpack is at 110 of average, a 28 jump from january 1st. The focus is now on the spring runoff. The dry start to the year, and ash from wildfires may accelerate the snow melt.

And Governor Newsom appeared at the survey to unveil an updated state water plan. Newsom says california needs to upgrade its aging infrastructure and expand how it captures storm water.

She says the israelhamas war set off a huge spike in antimuslim and antipalestinian sentiment and hate crimes across the u. S. The bay area was no different.

Care reported a increase, reporting 607 complaints of hate crimes or hate incidents. Care reports it received over 8000 complaints, the highest ever in its 30 year history, even more than after the 2017 muslim travel ban and during the wars in iraq and afghanistan post nine over 11. Unfortunately, its american tradition that when we are at war, including proxy war, for example, here where we are funding Israeli Military actions that whichever our communities or countries are being attacked abroad, are also dehumanized right here in the United States. The report documents employment discrimination targeting a propalestinian activists and suppressing free speech, even students being bullied not just by other students, but in some instances by teachers as well. Both the rhetoric has become more hateful and that that rhetoric has translated into violence. Another big concern is that the data suggests that 85 of the Muslim Community does not report hate incidents or discrimination, possibly due to fear of retaliation, losing their job, or mistrust of law enforcement. Billoo believes despite this new report, the real numbers are likely even higher.

Those arrests are part of an increased focus by the city to crack down on crime around the harbor. But as abc seven News Reporter ryan curry found out, he spoke with people at the estuary who say there is still more work to be done. Any kind of permanent anchoring in the estuary is simply not allowed, but there are still some who are doing exactly that with their boats.

Stuff that i bought and have receipts for opd told us they have Surveillance Video of the suspects and say they recognize them as the ones who live on the boats. Crime has plagued the oakland estuary. Last year, the coast guard was brought in to stop pirates who were stealing from boats and sinking them. Some of those sunken boats are still there, and this is an example. Thats a 72 foot exnavy boat that sunk here by this public fishing pier. Former harbor master brock delap says the estuary looks better now than it did a few months ago.

Its illegal to anchor your boat on the water. You have to park it at a marina like this one. The problem . According to the old harbor master, it could take a while to get a permit that allows you to live on a boat at the marina and its hard also for a harbor master to keep track of it. The woman knows what she is doing is illegal, but says she cant afford to get a permit, and says the coast guard is letting her stay. The coast guard specifically told me that its okay for you to park here, delap says opd needs to constantly monitor the estuary. He fears if they dont, crime could rise again.
