She says i dont beat them but a spank here and there, it works for me. Why are people upset about how she raises her children. Because people have opinions about what other people do.

Last night a federal judge in San Francisco temporarily blocked president trumps plan to eliminate the deferred action for childhood arrivals or daca program, that protects young immigrants from being departed.

Shielding thousands of young immigrants who were brought illegally to the u. S. As children. Daca recipients across the country now vowing to keep the pressure on lawmakers to find a more permanent fix. We dont want, you know, the government to make a profit off of undocumented people, off of immigrants. Reporter the judge also rejecting the president s argument that the program rewards illegal immigration. But many immigrants who came to the u. S. Legally say they disagree. I think daca discriminates against legal immigrants. Reporter in a statement the white house called the decision, go, outrageous, saying the president remains committed to finding a solution that also increases border security. Many Daca Recipients rejecting this approach, calling for a clean bill, permanently shielding dreamers from deportation. A lot of the Daca Recipients are feeling like a pawn in this whole political arena. And weve been the pawn for a very long time. Reporter under the ruling, Daca Recipients will be allowed to renew their status, though the government will not be required to accept new applications or allow dreamers to return to the u. S.

Coming up on mornings on 2 the 9, questions over recent closures of oaklands Lake Temescal and a possible link to toxic sewage. We will talk to a reporter from east bay express about how oakland may be mishandling incidents affecting people and animals. Psst, grocery cart 12 oclock. Oooh and she looks like the no artificial sweeteners type, shell love us. Right . We are the new light fit greek yogurt with zero artificial sweeteners. Zerooooo ooh eye contact. Be cool. Yeah girl, 13 grams of protein. 90 calories. Yaaasssss loudspeaker cleanup in the dairy aisle. Were the new light fit greek nonfat yogurt with zero artificial sweeteners. Come and get us. This morning the east bay express is publishing a story that says oakland has failed to accurately report hundreds of thousands of gallons of toxic sewage spills that are affecting people and animals. According to the report, this could also be tied to the recent closures at oaklands Lake Temescal that have been blamed on toxic algae. But the supervisors tell the paper that algae feeds on sewage. According to the story the department of public works have hired out contractors that do not properly fix the problem of broken pipes and failed to provide information to regulators. Joining us this morning is gabrielle canon, the reporter who broke the story. Welcome. Thank you for coming in, gabrielle. Thank you for having me. Background. Can you take us to 2014 when the city and there was a settlement to fix the sewer lines. What was required of th city. This was a settlement with the city of oakland and other regional cities. It was repairing not only the pipes but also making the public aware when there are spills. There are certain monetary investments that were required, things like that. As far as the city of oakland is concerned, it has complied with the settlement. Our report found that is likely not the case. You say the department of public works in oakland failed to report the sewage overflows and submitted false information. Talk about that specifically. Yeah. What we were able to uncover is that some of the reporting was vastly undercut. And tens of thousands, sometimes hundreds of thousands of gallons of sewage were not reported to regulatory agencies. There was one document even that that changed the start time of a particular spill to after the city agencies were made aware of it, which of course doesnt even make sense. Has the city this is pretty bad stuff. Has the city responded at all to the allegations . At this point we still have not been able to talk to the director of the public works department, mitchell. A spokesperson for public works responded during my reporting but we have not received a statement since it has been released. Specifically when you talk about Lake Temescal. Yes. How much sewage is leaking in there . Is it all year round . Im not sure they monitor the toxic levels during the winter months. It is busy during the summer. Maybe im wrong. Maybe they monitor. That is a great question. For me, it brought up more questions than answers. That is kind of the most horrifying part is we dont know how much sewage has gone into Lake Temescal. At this point we know that theres been a lot more than has been reported. And certainly even as recently as the last few weeks, there were spill thats were happening there and there were no signs. Nobody was really made aware that that was happening. We reported on periodic closures of Lake Temescal for years. I would like to put up on the screen what we heard from hal mcclain with the parks distrib. By having low water levels and the drought, a warm winter, the algae hasnt had a winter to get knocked down. A lot of us believed that it was very little rain, nothing flushing out Lake Temescal. Is that statement true full after your reporting . I think that there is certainly an environmental factor with algae. But we were able to find there was a connection to the sewage. The algae gets worse when the sewage is there. Algae sits there because it is not raining. Yes. One of the main issues as well is the public was highly informed about this toxic algae issue, right. So if you go up to the lake and the lake is closed or you go up to fish or whatever and you see a Water Quality sign, youre going to think, oh, it is the algae issue again. That may not be the case. I think that that is sort of the difference. We dont know as members of the public when there is actually an algae situation going on versus a sewage situation. And also how those two things play together. Did you actually go up and look at the lake and smell anything funny and see like evidence of sewage . I did, yes. I went up several times during my reporting. Times when there wasnt a reported sewage leak. And of course when i knew there was an ongoing problem. There were parts of the lake that you could smell the tinge. As someone who knew what was going on, it was clear to me, okay, this is sewage. Otherwise if youre up there, we have all been around Lake Temescal and merit and things like that and you smell the funky smells and think is this just the lake. Is it the water. Am i being too sensitive. Because you dont know. The saddest part about it, there is one sign that says there have been Water Quality issues, dont fish in the lake. First of all, theyre only in english. And then you still see people who are out there who maybe have walked had in a different part of the lake and didnt see the sign but theyre fishing and there is a sewage spill going on. You told the story of a woman who has been deal withing this particular issue at her own property. Right. In oakland. Of the hundreds of miles of sewage piping in the city, a lot of it is clay pipes. How much has been replaced, do you think, since the 2014 settlement . I cant really speak to an exact number. Okay. I was told by worker thats they are gradually being replace. That is something that the city has been pretty diligent to try to do. Of course when you look at the contractor whos have been hired, construction was a big part of my story. So you question whether or not that construction has been done correctly and done well. But, yeah, you brought up terry toby. That is an important example of someone who has been directly impacted by this. Who has for years now been struggling to get this program. Her animals are sick because of this. Greater awareness. When you take someone like terry toby who has been very diligent in trying to get this problem solves, it pointed to a bigger issue. The fact that this has not been a secret in city government. Were just learning about this and only because as a last resort, after teaing with terry and other workers in the sewer department, they had no other recourse but to make this a publicly known issue in order to get something done. Gabrielle canon. Thank you for joining us. Read the full article in the east bay express. Tom vacar is working on the story as well. We will have that for you in the later newscasts. Coming up, we will take you to t
