THANK YOU.

>>> TONIGHT PEOPLE ARE GATHERING AT PETCO PARK TO PAY THEIR RESPECTS TO PETER SILER.

THANK YOU FOR JOINING US.

THE SAN DIEGO PADRES OWNER PETER SILER PASSED AWAY EARLIER TODAY.

HE WAS 63 YEARS OLD.

SEIDLER WAS A FAN FAVORITE AND MAINTAINED HE WANTED TO BRING A CHAMPIONSHIP TO THE CITY.

HE ALSO WAS A LITTLE LARGE INFLUENCE.

KPBS IS OUTSIDE PETCO PARK WHERE A MEMORIAL IS SET UP.

RED PRETTY MUCH ALL DAY SINCE AROUND MIDDAY FANS HAVE BEEN COMING DOWN TO THE SPOT AT THE BALLPARK TO PAY THEIR RESPECTS TO PETER SEIDLER.

YOU CAN SEE OVER MY SHOULDER SOMEWHAT OF A MEMORIAL HAS BEEN SET UP WHERE PEOPLE ARE BRING CARDS AND FLOWERS TRYING TO REMEMBER HIM.

SOME PEOPLE HAVE BEEN CRYING REMEMBERING ALL HE DID FOR THE CITY AND THE TEAM AND A LOT OF PEOPLE WE SPOKE TO EARLIER SAID HE WAS THE BEST OWNER IN TEAM HISTORY NOT JUST FOR THE ON THE FIELD PRODUCT BUT HOW HE INVESTED IN THE COMMUNITY.

>> HE LOVED SAN DIEGO AND I THINK HE PUT EVERYTHING HE HAD INTO THE TEAM AND THE FANS.

AND THAT DOESN'T HAPPEN VERY OFTEN ANYMORE.

>> SEIDLER DURING THE PARTIES OWNERSHIP GROUP IN 2012 BEFORE BECOMING MAJORITY OWNER IN 2020.

HE WAS BELOVED BY FANS INVESTING HUNDREDS OF MILLIONS OF DOLLARS IN STAR PLAYERS TO TRY TO BRING A CHAMPIONSHIP TO SAN DIEGO.

>> HE WAS IN OWNER THAT WANTED TO GO ALL THE WAY IN.

IT WAS SOMETHING UNFATHOMABLE BECAUSE THAT'S NOTHING WE HAD SEEN IN YEARS.

FOR HIM TO DO SOMETHING LIKE THIS, EVEN THOUGH MAYBE HE KNEW HE WAS ON HIS WAY OUT, HE WANTED TO GIVE THE CITY SOMETHING TO APPRECIATE.

AN HONORABLE THING TO DO, FOR SURE.

WILL ALWAYS REMEMBER HIM AS AN OWNER.

ONE THE BEST OWNERS WE'VE HAD IN YEARS BECAUSE HE WAS WILLING TO SPEND THE MONEY FOR A TEAM THAT COULD TAKE HIM TO THE PLAYOFFS.

>> Reporter: PETER SAID IT WAS A TWO-TIME CANCER SURVIVOR AND HIS WIFE DOOM.KNOWN TO NUMEROUS CHARITABLE FOUNDATIONS.

FOCUSING ON HOMELESSNESS EFFORTS IN SENEGAL.

>> PETER SEIDLER IS A GREATEST OWNER AND PADRES HISTORY.

NOT JUST THAT, HE WAS REALLY A GOOD PERSON FOR THE COMMUNITY.

A HUGE PHILANTHROPIST.

AND DID SO MUCH GOOD FOR SAN DIEGO.

>> Reporter: CREATING A BETTER FUTURE FOR THE UNCIAL TO POPULATIONS CLOSE TO SEIDLER'S HEART.

HE SPOKE EARLIER THIS YEAR WITH KPBS ON HOW HE WANTED TO USE THE PADRES PROFILE TO CREATE A BIGGER IMPACT.

>> THE BALLPARK IS A PLACE FOR JOY.

PEOPLE COME OUT HERE AND THEY WANT TO FORGET THEIR WORRIES AND FOR A LONG TIME I THOUGHT THIS IS MY PERSONAL ENDEAVOR BUT I THINK NOW THAT THE HOMELESS POPULATION HAS GROWN AND CURRENTLY IS GROWING WITH REAL VISIBILITY TO BRING IT BACK ON THE DECLINE WE DECIDED HERE TO PUT OUR FOOT TO THE ACCELERATOR IN WHAT THE PARTIES CAN DO TO HELP.

>> Reporter: UNDER SEIDLER'S OWNERSHIP THE PADRES WERE KNOCKING ON THE DOOR OF THE WORLD SERIES IN 2022.

FANS SAY THIS NEXT SEASON SHOULD BE ABOUT HONORING HIS LEGACY.

>> ONE THING I'M OUT ABOUT HIM IS HE PUT HIS MONEY WHERE HIS MOUTH WAS PRETTY INVESTED NEAR $1 BILLION INTO THE TEAM BECAUSE HE REALLY WANTED TO WIN.

WE OWE IT TO HIM IN 2024 TO COMPETE FOR HEAT.

>> Reporter: WE HAVE A STATEMENT FROM THE PADRES CEO.

HE SAID IMPART HIS IMPACT ON THE CITY OF SAN DIEGO IN THE BASEBALL WORLD WILL BE FELT FOR GENERATIONS PRODUCED GENEROUS SPIRIT IS NOW FIRMLY EMBEDDED IN THE FABRIC OF THE PADRES ALTHOUGH HE WAS OUR CHAIRMAN AND OWNER, PETER WAS AT COURT A PADRES FAN.

HE WILL BE DEARLY MISSED.

AS WE COME BACK OUT HERE LIKE THAT WE KNOW HE'S A LARGER-THAN- LIFE FIGURE.

FOR MANY PADRES FANS AND PEOPLE IN THE COMMITTEE WHO WILL NOT SOON BE FORGOTTEN.

THE SPOT WE ARE AT NOW, THE HOME PLATE AT PETCO PARK WILL BE OPEN UNTIL MIDNIGHT AND OPEN TOMORROW AT SIX A.M. UNTIL MIDNIGHT IF PEOPLE WANT TO COME TO PAY RESPECTS.

>>> THANKS FOR THAT REPORT.

EARLIER THIS YEAR I HAD A CHANCE TO TALK TO PETER SEIDLER ABOUT HIS COMMITMENT TO SAN DIEGO FROM THE PADRES TO HELPING THE ON HOUSE.

YOU CAN FIND THAT STORY ON THAT KPBS YOUTUBE PAGE.

>>> TEAMSTERS UNION MEMBERS WALKED OFF THE JOB TODAY ON ALL 22 CAMPUSES OF THE CALIFORNIA STATE UNIVERSITY SYSTEM.

THEY ARE SKILLED TRADE WORKERS CLIMBING THE CSU IS NOT NEGOTIATING WITH THEM IN GOOD FAITH.

HERE IS MJ PEREZ TO TELL US MORE ABOUT THE DISPUTE.

>> Reporter: MORE THAN 1100 TEAMSTERS ON CAL STATE CAMPUSES JOINED THE ONE DAY PICKET LINE AND PROTEST TODAY DEMANDING THE CSU NEGOTIATE WITH THEM FOR HIGHER WAGES AND BETTER BENEFITS INCLUDING A NEW SALARY PAY STRUCTURE.

WE CAUGHT UP WITH TEAMSTERS HERE ON THE CAMPUS OF SAN DIEGO STATE THIS MORNING.

THESE WORKERS ARE PLUMBERS, ELECTRICIANS, PAINTERS AND DO MANY OTHER JOBS TO SUPPORT AND MAINTAIN THE UNIVERSITY'S FACILITIES.

THEY BELONG TO THE TEAMSTER LOCAL 2010 WHICH IS BEEN IN NEGOTIATIONS WITH THE SCHOOL SYSTEM FOR MONTHS.

THE TEAMSTERS SAY THEY ARE MAKING 23% LESS THAN THEY ARE SKILLED TRADE COUNTERPARTS ON THE UC CAMPUSES.

>> WE ARE NOT ASKING TO BE RICH.

WE ARE ASKING TO BE ABLE TO PROVIDE FOR FAMILIES AND IF YOU WERE PRESENT BECAUSE OF INFLATION AND COST OF LEAVE IN LIVING.

THE SANDING APPEARED CALVIN AS A WHOLE IS EXPENSIVE BUT SANDING IS THE NUMBER ONE COST OF LIVING IN THE COUNTRY.

AND WE ARE MAKING WAGES THAT WE WERE MAKING YEARS AGO.

IT'S JUST NOT ENOUGH.

>> THIS WAS JUST A ONE-DAY UNFAIR LABOR STRIKE.

NOT A PLANNED ONGOING WORK STOPPAGE.

THE TEAMSTERS WILL BE BACK ON THE JOB TOMORROW.

AS FOR THE UNIVERSITY SYSTEM, A SPOKESPERSON PROVIDED KPBS WITH THIS WRITTEN STATEMENT.

TEAMSTERS ARE IMPORTANT MEMBERS OF THE CALIFORNIA STATE UNIVERSITY AND CONTRIBUTE TO OUR EDUCATIONAL MISSION.

THE CSU AND TEAMSTERS HAVE REACHED IMPASSE IN THEIR CONTRACT NEGOTIATIONS ARE STILL ENGAGED IN THE BARGAINING PROCESS UNDER STATE LAW.

THE CSU REMAINS COMMITTED TO THE COLLECTIVE BARGAINING PROCESS AND REACHING A NEGOTIATED AGREEMENT FOR INCREASED COMPENSATION WITH THE TEAMSTERS AS WE HAVE DONE WITH FIVE OF OUR OTHER EMPLOYEE UNIONS IN RECENT WEEKS.

ALL CAL STATE UNIVERSITY REMAINED OPEN TODAY USING CONTINGENCY PLANS TO KEEP OPERATIONS GOING AND CLASSES IN SESSION.

>>> HERE COMES THE CHANGES.

THE WET WEATHER WILL BE ROLLING IN NOT ONLY AT THE SHORELINE AND THROUGHOUT THE INTERIOR VALLEY BUT A STRETCH INTO SOME OF THE MOUNTAINOUS TERRAIN.

THIS COULD PUT A LID ON THE WARMTH.

THE TEMPERATURES WILL BE TRENDING DOWN BUT THIS IS NOT THE ONLY WAY WAVE OF MOISTURE WE WILL FOLLOW.

ANOTHER WAY SET TO MOVE IN LATER ON THIS WEEK MORE DETAILS ON THAT A LITTLE BIT LATER ON.

TRUCK THE CITY SANDING WAS BEGINNING A SEARCH FOR A NEW POLICE CHIEF.

THE POLICE CHIEF WILL RETIRE IN JUNE.

HE ROSE THROUGH THE RANKS DURING HIS 36 YEARS WITH THE SAN DIEGO POLICE DEPARTMENT.

THE CITY HAS HIRED A RECRUITMENT FIRM TO FIND POTENTIAL CANDIDATES AND SAY COMMITTEE FORMS WILL BE HELD TO HELP INFORM THE PROCESS.

TRUCK A CYBER SECURITY ATTACK ON TRI-CITY MEDICAL CENTER IS HAVING A RIPPLE EFFECTS ON THE HEALTH CARE SYSTEM IN THE NORTH COUNTY.

WE HAVE A LOOK AT WHAT IT COULD MEAN FOR OTHER HOSPITALS AND PATIENTS.

>> Reporter: TRI-CITY MEDICAL CENTER HAS DECLARED THIS AN INTERNAL DISASTER INTO STILL DIVERTING AMBULANCE TRAFFIC TO OTHER HOSPITALS.

LAST THURSDAY THE HOSPITAL ANNOUNCED IT HAD BECOME AWARE OF A CYBER SECURITY ATTACK AND TOOK ITS SYSTEMS OFF-LINE.

HOSPITAL MANAGEMENT SAID THEY ARE STILL SERVING PATIENTS WITH EMERGENCY NEEDS BUT THEY'VE HALTED ALL ELECTIVE MEDICAL PROCEDURES.

>> RIGHT NOW THEY'RE STILL PROBABLY IN RESPONSE MODE TRYING TO FIGURE OUT WHAT HAPPENED.

AND TRYING TO CONTAIN THE INFECTION AND SEE HOW FAR IT HAS SPREAD.

>> CYBER SECURITY PROFESSOR SAYS HOSPITALS AND HEALTHCARE FACILITIES FACED EXTRA RISK FOR CYBER TEXT DUE TO THEIR WIDE RANGE OF MEDICAL DEVICES.

>> WHEN YOU HAVE THOSE TYPES OF DEVICES, THAT'S A LOT OF TIMES WILL LEAVE YOU VULNERABLE BECAUSE THOSE DEVICES ARE UPDATED AS OFTEN AS REGULAR COMPUTERS.

>> AND THE HIGH-STAKES WORK ENVIRONMENT.

>> BECAUSE PATIENTS LIKE LIFE'S ARE DEPENDING ON DEVICES.

>> THIS IS NOT THE FIRST HEALTHCARE ORGANIZATION TO BE AFFECTED.

UC SAN DIEGO HEALTH, SHARP HEALTHCARE, SEND YOU CEDRO HEALTH AND SCRIPPS HEALTH HAVE ALL DEALT WITH DATA BREACHES OF DIFFERENT SIZES IN RECENT MONTHS.

>> THE 2021 READ SOMEWHERE WHERE ATTACK HAD MAJOR IMPACTS ON THE ORGANIZATION.

>> FIRST THING HAVE TO DO IS STOP THE INTRUSION THAT MEANS GOING TO PAPER EVERYWHERE.

HAVING RUNNERS RUNNING REPORTS BACK AND FORTH SO YOU REALLY HAVE TO CHANGE YOUR OPERATION COMPLETELY.

>> SINCE TRI-CITY'S INTERNAL DISASTER WITH DECLARED, SCRIPPS HAS RECEIVED 20-25 MORE AMBULANCES PER DAY PRIMARILY IN ENCINITAS.

THEY NORMALLY RECEIVE AROUND 35 AT THAT LOCATION.

>> WE ARE ON CODE ABC WHICH IS ALL BAD CRISIS MEANING THAT THE HOSPITAL IS AS PLAYFUL AND AT ANY ONE TIME WE NEED TO HAVE PATIENCE WAITING AND IT COULD BE A SIGNIFICANT NUMBER OF PATIENTS WAITING TO BE ADMITTED OR WE HAVE TO TRANSFER SOME OF THOSE PATIENTS TO OTHER SCRIPPS FACILITIES.

>> KAISER PERMANENTE SEMEKA SAID THEY SAW SIGNIFICANT INCREASES IN EMERGENCY DEPARTMENT SINCE THE TRI-CITY DECLARATION.

POLYMER HEALTH SAID THEY HAD SLIGHT INCREASE IN INFANTS TRAFFIC BUT THAT'S NOW THE BLOOD.

THE CYBER CRIMINAL LANDSCAPE HAS SHIFTED IN THE PAST TWO YEARS SO THEY CAN WORK TOGETHER MORE EASILY TO COMPROMISE ORGANIZATION.

>> THERE'S MORE ACTORS OUT THERE THAT ARE LAUNCHING THESE TYPES OF ATTACKS.

>> AS FOR TRI-CITY PATIENTS, THEY ARE SAID TO BE VIGILANT AND PRACTICE BASIC CYBER HYGIENE LIKE CREATING STRONG PASSWORDS USING MULTIFACTOR AUTO AUTHENTICATION AND KEEPING SYSTEMS UP TO DATE IN CASE THE ATTACKERS GET A HOLD OF PERSONAL INFORMATION.

>> YOUR DATA HAS BEEN LINKED.

THEN YOU SHOULD DO THINGS LIKE MAKE SURE YOU ARE CHECKING YOUR CREDIT ON A REGULAR BASIS TO ENSURE THAT NO FRAUDULENT ACCOUNTS HAVE BEEN OPEN.

YOU CAN ALSO FREEZE YOUR CREDIT.

>> TRI-CITY SAID THEY ARE WORKING WITH LAW ENFORCEMENT AND CYBER SECURITY SPECIALIST TO INVESTIGATE THE ATTACK, RESTORE THEIR SYSTEMS AND TRY TO PREVENT SOUP FUTURE ATTACKS.

>> TWO THIRDS BEING IN THE AFFIRMATIVE.

THE RULES ARE SUSPENDED.

THE BILL IS PASSED AND WITHOUT OBJECTION MOTION TO RECONSIDER IS LAID ON THE TABLE.

>> THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES VOTED TO TEMPORARILY KEEP THE GOVERNMENT RUNNING AHEAD OF THE FRIDAY DEADLINE.

NEW REPUBLICAN HOUSE SPEAKER MIKE JOHNSON REACHED ACROSS THE AISLE TO WORK WITH DEMOCRATS.

THE SYMBOL THAT COST FORMER SPEAKER KEVIN McCARTHY THE JOB WEEKS AGO.

THE CONTINUED RESOLUTION WOULD FUND SOME AGENCIES THREE JANUARY 19th AND OTHERS THROUGH FEBRUARY 2nd.

THE BILL NOW NEEDS APPROVAL BY THE SENATE THAT A SIGNATURE FROM THE PRESIDENT.

>> TENS OF THOUSANDS OF MOSTLY JEWISH PEOPLE FROM AROUND THE COUNTRY GATHERED AT THE NATIONAL MALL IN WASHINGTON, D.C..

THEY ARE SHOWING SUPPORT OF ISRAEL AND DEMAND MORE TO BE DONE TO BE FREED HOSTAGES BEING HELD BY HAMAS IN GAZA.

HERE'S MORE IN THE MARCH.

>> Reporter: A SEA OF ISRAELI FLAGS CUT JEWISH PEOPLE AND SUPPORTERS GATHERING IN THE NATION'S CAPITAL ON TUESDAY.

>> WILL STAND ON THE NATIONAL MALL IN THE MOST VISIBLE PLACE IN THIS COUNTRY AND SAY AMERICA WILL NOT STAND FOR THIS.

>> OCTOBER 7th WAS A CRIME AGAINST A JEWISH STATE.

INDEED AGAINST HUMANITY.

>> ISRAEL WILL CEASE THEIR COUNTEROFFENSIVE WHEN HAMAS CEASES TO BE A THREAT TO THE JEWISH STATE.

>> AS ISRAEL TAKES HIS RETALIATORY FIGHT AGAINST HAMAS INTO A SECOND MONTH, THE TOTAL ON GAZA CIVILIAN INFRASTRUCTURE HAS BEEN DEVASTATING.

SOME MARCH ATTENDEES WERE THE GRAPHIC IMAGES OF WAR COULD SHAKE PRESIDENT BIDEN'S PRO ISRAEL STANCE.

>> A LOT OF PRESSURE FOR HIM TO BE MOVED IN ANOTHER DIRECTION BUT SO FAR HE IS SUPPORTING ISRAEL AND THAT THE MOST IMPORTANT THING.

>> STILL OTHERS HAVE A DEEPLY PERSONAL REASON FOR ATTENDING THE MARCH.

>> THE HAMAS ORGANIZATION KILLED MY COUSIN.

>> ALSO IN THE SPOTLIGHT AT THE RALLY CUT RISING ANTI-SEMITISM ESPECIALLY ON SOME COLLEGE CAMPUSES.

>> EVERY UNIVERSITY LEADER IN THIS COUNTRY HAS A RESPONSIBILITY TO ENSURE THAT NO STUDENT IS INTIMIDATED OR HARASSED ON CAMPUS BECAUSE OF THEIR RELIGION.

>> MY GRANDCHILDREN LOOK AT THIS MOMENT I WANT TO SAY I WAS THERE AT A MOMENT WHERE OUR COMMITTEE AND OUR COUNTRY NEEDED ME TO STAND UP FOR OUR COUNTRY AND OUR FUTURE.

>>> COLD AND WET WEATHER IS ON THE WAY TO SAN DIEGO THIS WEEK.

A CONCERN FOR BORDER PATROL AGENTS AND IMMIGRATION ADVOCACY GROUPS.

IN RECENT MONTHS HUNDREDS OF MIGRANTS SEEKING ASYLUM IN THE U.S. HAVE CAMPED ALONG THE BORDER WAITING TO BE PROCESSED.

ADVOCATES LIKE JACQUELINE WITH BORDER KINDNESS SAYS SHE WORRIES ABOUT THE WELL-BEING OF THE MIGRANTS WHO ARE EXPOSED TO THE ELEMENTS.

SHE FEARS THEY WILL FALL ILL WITH HYPERTHERMIA OR EVEN DIE AT THE SITES.

>> THEY HAVE NO SHELTER BE ON MAKESHIFT STRUCTURES THAT ARE CONSTRUCTED FROM POLES AND TARPS THAT HAVE BEEN DONATED.

A COUPLE OF TENTS AND LITERALLY PEOPLE ARE JUST SLEEPING ON THE GROUND WITH MAYBE A BLANKET OVER THEM.

>> BORDER PATROL SAYS IT CAN TAKE DAYS TO PICK UP MIGRANTS BECAUSE OF LARGE NUMBER ARRIVING AT ONCE IN THAT RUGGED TERRAIN.

>>> SAN DIEGO IS THE FIRST COUNTY IN THE ENTIRE COUNTRY TO OFFER FREE LAWYERS TO PEOPLE IN IMMIGRATION COURT.

THE PROGRAM IS MAKING A BIG DIFFERENCE.

>> Reporter: IMAGINE STANDING IN FRONT OF A JUDGE AND HAVING TO REPRESENT YOURSELF IN COURT.

IN A LANGUAGE YOU DON'T SPEAK AND UNDER A LEGAL SYSTEM YOU KNOW VERY LITTLE ABOUT.

WHAT IS AT STAKE?

YOUR RIGHT TO CONTINUE LIVING IN THIS COUNTRY.

THAT IS EXACTLY WHAT IMMIGRATION COURT IS LIKE FOR THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE FACING DEPORTATION.

SHOWS LIKE LAW AND ORDER GIVE US THE BASICS OF OUR CRIMINAL JUSTICE SYSTEM.

DEFENDANTS GET A FREE LAWYER AND EVERYONE IS PRESUMED INNOCENT UNLESS CONVICTED.

BUT THOSE RIGHTS DO NOT EXIST IN IMMIGRATION COURT.

>> THESE ARE LIFE OR DEATH PROCEEDINGS OF TREMENDOUS GRAVITY.

DONE IN THIS CRAZY SORT OF SOMETIMES YOU CALL A FAST FOOD SETTING WHERE YOU DON'T GET A LAWYER.

YOU DON'T GET THE RIGHT TO ACCESS EVIDENCE.

>> A CIVIL RIGHTS AND IMMIGRATION LAWYER.

>> YOU HAVE TO GO UP AGAINST AND IMMIGRATION LAWYER FROM I.C.E.

AND DO IT IN FRONT OF A JUDGE MORE TIMES THAN NOT IS FORMER I.C.E.

ATTORNEY.

THE CHIPS ARE STACKED AGAINST FOLKS.

>> DEPORTATION CASE IS A VERY DIFFICULT ESPECIALLY IF THE CLIENT IS LOCKED UP IN A DETENTION CENTER.

>> FROM WITHIN THE PRISON, THE I.C.E.

JAIL, THE IMMIGRATION GEL THERE'S NO ACCESS TO THE INTERNET.

SO YOU CAN'T GATHER INFORMATION ABOUT YOUR CASE.

YOU DON'T GET APPOINTED A LAWYER.

YOU CAN'T WORK AND MAKE MONEY YOU CAN'T REALLY HIRE A LAWYER.

IT'S VERY DIFFICULT TO TALK TO YOUR FAMILY FROM INSIDE.

>> THERE'S A COUNTY PROGRAM THAT'S TRYING TO MAKE IMMIGRATION COURTS MORE FAIR.

LOOK AT IMMIGRANT RIGHTS LEGAL DEFENSE PROGRAM USES TAXPAYER DOLLARS TO GIVE IMMIGRANTS ACCESS TO FREE LEGAL REPRESENTATION.

HE SAYS THE GOAL IS NOT NECESSARILY TO STOP DEPORTATIONS.

>> NOT EVERYONE WINS THEIR IMMIGRATION CASE BUT WE SHOULD GET IT RIGHT, THE WINNERS AND LOSERS AND HAVING A LAWYER HELPS WITH THAT.

THAT'S THE GOAL OF THE PROGRAM TO TRY TO INJECT THAT FAIRNESS.

>> THE PROGRAM STARTED LAST APRIL AND IS GOING TO COST ABOUT $4 MILLION PER YEAR.

DATA SHOWS THAT IT'S ALREADY HAVING AN IMPACT.

THE NUMBER OF PEOPLE WITH LEGAL REPRESENTATION HAS MORE THAN DOUBLED SINCE THE START OF THE PROGRAM AND IMMIGRANTS WHO HAVE LAWYERS ARE FIVE TIMES LESS LIKELY TO BE GIVEN DEPORTATION ORDERS COMPARED TO PEOPLE THAT HAVE TO REPRESENT THEMSELVES.

FOR IMMIGRATION LAWYERS LIKE LAUREN, THAT STAT IS KIND OF OBVIOUS.

>> START WITH LANGUAGE.

ANY EVIDENCE THAT YOU PRESENT TO AN IMMIGRATION COURT HAS TO BE PRESENTED IN ENGLISH.

AND ANY APPLICATION OR FORM THAT THE COURT GENERATES IS WRITTEN IN ENGLISH AND HAS TO BE COMPLETED IN ENGLISH.

>> IMAGINE DOING ALL OF THAT WITHOUT AN ATTORNEY.

THAT'S NOT EVEN MENTIONING THE LEGAL ARGUMENT YOU HAVE TO MAKE IT >> THE BURDEN IS ON THAT APPLICANT TO PROVE THAT THEY ARE ELIGIBLE.

SO UNLIKE A CRIMINAL COURT WHERE WE ALL KNOW THAT THE GOVERNMENT HAS THE BURDEN OF PROOF BEYOND A REASONABLE DOUBT AND IN IMMIGRATION COURT IT'S ALMOST ALWAYS THE OTHER WAY AROUND.

>> IN OCTOBER COUNTY SUPERVISOR JOEL ANDERSON TRIED TO PLACE LIMITS ON WHO COULD BE ELIGIBLE FOR LEGAL REPRESENTATION SAME PEOPLE'S CRIMINAL CONVICTIONS SHOULD NOT BE PART OF THE PROGRAM.

>> WITH GOT TO BE THOUGHTFUL IN OUR APPROACH AND WE HAVE TO DRAW DEFINITE LIGHTS.

ALL I'M ASKING TODAY IS THAT WE HAVE GUIDELINES THAT STOP US FROM WASTING MONEY ON PEOPLE WHO PREY ON OTHERS.

>> BUT DOZENS OF ADVOCATES OPPOSED HIS PLAN ARGUING IN A COUNTY MEETING THAT WOULD VIOLATE THE SPIRIT OF UNIVERSAL REPRESENTATION.

>> MANY OF THESE INDIVIDUALS LIVED IN SAN DIEGO MOST OF THEIR LIVES.

THEY HAVE JOBS IN THE COMMUNITY AND FAMILIES AND FRIENDS.

AND PEOPLE WHO SUPPORT THEM.

>> ANDERSON'S PROPOSAL FAILED.

ALINA REYES IS A LAWYER WITH THE LAW CENTER.

SHE SAID THERE'S A MISCONCEPTION THAT PEOPLE FACING DEPORTATION ARE MEMBERS OF THE.

CRITICS OF THE PROGRAM SAY TAXPAYER DOLLARS SHOULD ONLY BENEFIT SAN DIEGANS.

>> THIS IS MY NEIGHBOR.

THIS IS MY FELLOW CHURCH MEMBER.

THAT IS GOING THROUGH THIS PROCESS AND IT AFFECTS EVERYONE.

>> SHE SAYS DEPORTATIONS TEAR FAMILIES APART.

AND THAT IMPACTS THE ENTIRE COMMUNITY.

>> WE'VE SEEN IT IN SO MANY CASES WHERE ONE OF THE PARENT MIGHT BE DEPORTED TO OTHER PARTS OF THE WORLD COMPLETELY AND THAT LEAVES THE SINGLE PARENT ALONG WITH THE CHILDREN.

>> AND SHE ARGUES THAT GIVING FREE LEGAL REPRESENTATION CAN DIRECTLY BENEFIT AMERICAN CITIZENS.

>> OTHER THING PEOPLE TO UNDERSTAND IS SOMETIMES WHETHER THE PERSON IS EVEN AN AMERICAN IS IN QUESTION.

SO THERE'S CASES WHERE SOMETIMES THEY DETAIN PEOPLE THAT THEY THINK ARE NOT U.S. CITIZENS AND IT TURNS OUT THE PERSON IS A U.S. CITIZEN.

>> SAVAR LAYS IN THE PROGRAM HAVE BEEN ASSIGNED 868 CASES.

MOST OF THEM ARE STILL GOING THROUGH THE COURT PROCESS.

OF THE COMPLETED CASES ONLY ABOUT 10% OF THEM ENDED IN DEPORTATIONS WHICH IS MUCH LOWER THAN THE NATIONAL AVERAGE.

>> THE 10 FREEWAY IN LOS ANGELES WILL NOT HAVE TO BE DEMOLISHED AFTER A FIRE DAMAGE SUPPORT COLUMNS UNDERNEATH.

GOVERNOR NEWSOM GAVE THIS UPDATE TODAY ON A POSSIBLE TIMETABLE FOR REPAIRS.

>> WE WILL NOT NEED TO DEMOLISH AND REPLACE THE I 10.

WE WILL CONTINUE THE KIND OF REPAIRS YOU ARE SEEING BEING DONE BEHIND ME AND CONTINUE A SHORING PLAN TO SHORE UP THE SITE.

AGAIN, 100 COLUMNS HAVE BEEN DAMAGED.

NINE OR 10 SEVERELY.

AT THAT SHORING WORK WILL CONTINUE 24/7 AND ALLOW US TO REOPEN FOR TRAFFIC THE I 10 IN A MATTER OF WEEKS.

THE ESTIMATE CURRENTLY IS 3-5 WEEKS.

>> ABOUT 300,000 PEOPLE USE THE FREEWAY EVERY DAY.

IT'S CLOSURE IS IMPACTING ARCTIC INGESTING TRAFFIC IN LOS ANGELES.

AUTHORITIES SAY THE FIRE WAS SET INTENSELY.

SO FAR NO ARRESTS HAVE BEEN MADE.

>>> THE OVERCROWDING SITUATION WITH DOGS AT THE SAN DIEGO HUMANE SOCIETY HAS BECOME MORE URGENT AS TWO CONTAGIOUS PATHOGENS HAVE SPREAD THROUGH SOME OF THEM AT THE SOCIETY'S MAIN CAMPUS AND LINDA VISTA.

THERE IS ONE SIMPLE WAY YOU CAN HELP TO RESOLVE THE CRISIS.

>> Reporter: ONE INFECTION PATHOGEN MOVING THROUGH ANIMALS IS CHALLENGING ENOUGH BUT THE SAN DIEGO HUMANE SOCIETY IS NOW DEALING WITH A DOUBLE THREAT INCLUDING ONE PATHOGEN THEY HAVEN'T DEALT WITH BEFORE.

>> THIS PARTICULAR ONE IS SOMETHING COMPLETELY NEW FOR US.

WE KNOW IT IS OUT THERE BUT IT'S VERY SEVERE.

>> DR. GARY SAYS THERE 1800 DOGS BEING HOUSED ACROSS THE HUMANE SOCIETY'S FIVE CAMPUSES.

HE SAID IT SHOULD BE HALF THAT.

THE PRESIDENT AND CEO OF THE HUMANE SOCIETY IS ALSO A VET AND HE SAYS THE OVERCROWDING SITUATION HAS CONTRIBUTED TO THE SPREAD OF DISEASE.

>> WE KNOW THE SAME CIRCUMSTANCES THAT CAUSED IT TO HAPPEN IN OUR QUARANTINED BUILDING HERE CAN'T HAPPEN EVERYWHERE AND AT EVERY SHELTER AND EVERY DOG KENNEL.

IT'S JUST TOO MANY DOGS IN ONE AREA.

>> THE SPREAD OF THE PATHOGENS FORCED THE HUMANE SOCIETY TO PAUSE DOG SURRENDER SO PEOPLE WHO CAN NO LONGER CARE FOR A PET CAN'T DROP IT OFF HERE UNTIL AT LEAST AFTER DECEMBER 1st.

FORTUNATELY ANTIBIOTICS ARE ALLOWING THEM TO ELIMINATE THE PATHOGENS FAIRLY QUICKLY.

>> WE ACTUALLY GAVE ALL OF THE AFFECTED DOGS A DOSE OF AN ANTIBIOTIC THAT ACTUALLY THANKFULLY TAKES CARE OF THIS ISSUE WITHIN A DAY.

>> UNFORTUNATELY THE OVERCROWDING PROBLEM IS NOT AS EASY TO SELL.

>> THE SAN DIEGO HUMANE SOCIETY CURRENTLY HAS MORE THAN 100 PUPPIES.

AS YOU MIGHT IMAGINE, THEY ARE THE ONES THAT GO THE QUICKEST BUT THEY ALSO HAVE MANY MORE ADULT AND SENIOR DOGS.

A FRIEND OF MINE HERE AT THE SOCIETY SAID YOU MIGHT WANT TO CONSIDER ADOPTING ONE OF THOSE BECAUSE THEY ADJUST MORE QUICKLY.

THEY ARE POTTY TRAINED AND THEY ARE ALSO A GIFT IN YOUR LIFE.

>> GARY WEITZMAN SAYS THE HUMANE SOCIETY CAN HELP YOU OUT WITH WHATEVER YOU NEED TO KEEP YOUR FURRY FRIEND SAID OR CARED FOR.

ENCOUNTERED THIS FAMILY ON THEIR WAY OUT WITH THEIR NEW FRIEND.

>> WE ARE FULL OF LOVE.

ANOTHER BABY TO GIVE OUR LOVE TO.

>> IT'S A SAFE BET THAT LOVE WILL BE RETURNED MANY TIMES OVER.

>>> AFTER SOME SUNSHINE THE LAST COUPLE OF DAYS, ALONG WITH MILD AIR, THE HIGH TEMPERATURES UP IN THE 70s.

MID TO UPPER 70s.

WE HAVE SOME CHANGES ON THE DOORSTEP AS SOME OF THOSE CHANGES HAPPENING LATER ON TONIGHT IN TERMS OF INCREASING CLOUDINESS AND PERHAPS SOME LATE LIGHT LATE NIGHT WET WEATHER ARRIVING MORE SO IN THE FIRST WAVE AS WE WORK OUR WAY INTO WEDNESDAY.

ANOTHER WAVE MOVING IN LATER ON IN THE WEEK ON FRIDAY NIGHT AND OF COURSE WITH THE RAIN WE WILL BE TALKING ABOUT SOME SLIGHTLY COOLER AIR.

LET'S WORK OUR WAY INTO THE SHORT TERM TONIGHT.

RIGHT ALONG THE SHORELINE TOWARD CHULA VISTA COULD SEE A LATE NIGHT SHOWER.

OTHERWISE CLOUDS WILL BE THICKENING.

LOWE'S DROPPED TO THE MID-40s TOWARD OCEANSIDE.

BORREGO SPRINGS DOWN TO 51.

FUTURECAST ALSO SHOWS THE CLOUDS MAKING THEIR WAY IN AND NOTICE AS WE WORK OUR WAY TOWARD THE LATE-NIGHT TIMEFRAME AND MORNING YOU START TO SEE LITTLE BIT IN THE WAY OF SHOWER ACTIVITY.

AS WE WORK OUR WAY INTO FRIDAY NIGHT AND ALSO SENECA WE WILL SEE ANOTHER AREA OF MOISTURE BEGIN TO SLIDE ITS WAY INTO THE PICTURE.

SHOWERS OFTEN ON AS WE GO THROUGHOUT THE NEXT SEVERAL DAYS.

THE HIGHER AMOUNTS OF RAIN WILL BE OFF TOWARD THE NORTH BUT THERE AGAIN IS THE POTENTIAL TO SEE OVER A QUARTER OF AN INCH.

A HALF INCH OF RAIN IN SOME LOCATIONS.

HIGHER AMOUNTS OF THE HIGHER TRAINED AS YOU WORK TO YOUR WAY TO THE NORTH.

OUT ON THE COAST HERE'S WHAT WE ARE LOOKING AT.

THINK OF THIS PRECIPITATION AS A MARATHON.

NOT A SHORT AMOUNT OF TIME BUT RATHER A COUPLE OF SPELLS OF RAIN COMING IN.

AFTERNOON INTO WEDNESDAY NIGHT HERE AT THE COAST AND THEN RAIN AGAIN FRIDAY INTO SATURDAY.

SAME SITUATION HERE IN LYNN TOWARD THE INTERIOR VALLEYS.

WEDNESDAY INTO WEDNESDAY NIGHT AND THEN WAS ANOTHER ROUND OF WET WEATHER FRIDAY INTO SATURDAY.

COOLER AS WE GO INTO SUNDAY.

SHOWERS ALSO IN THE MOUNTAINS.

BOTH WEDNESDAY AND AGAIN AS WE GO INTO SATURDAY AND EVEN AS WE GO TOWARD THE DESERTS.

WE COULD SEE WET WEATHER LATER IN THE WEEK.

>>> TONIGHT ON THE NEWS HOUR, FIGHTING RAGES AROUND HOSPITALS IN GAZA AS NEGOTIATIONS FOR THE RELEASE OF HOSTAGES CONTINUE.
