West Coast Wrap, Tuesday 10/27/2026

With one week to go before Election Day, a federal judge considers whether the Justice Department can prevent the state of California from counting up to 20,000 ballots. Good evening, everyone. Welcome to West Coast Wrap. I'm Alex Savage. The judge in this case heard arguments today and says the decision will come quickly by tomorrow. The Trump administration is questioning thousands of ballots in California, saying they may have been cast by people who are likely not U.S. citizens. Let's bring in KTVU's Jesse Gary, who has been closely following this case today with the latest. A lot at stake here, Jesse. Alex, and this comes down to who has the power. Critics argue that the president does not have the law on his side in this case. Congress, and only Congress, in extreme circumstances can interfere with how a state administers its elections. Still, all eyes are watching the proceedings down in Los Angeles as a bellwether for what could come next, next week with the midterms. in San Francisco a rally at City Hall as perceived threats one week before election day come into focus and under greater scrutiny intimidation threat to our democracy San Francisco District 11 Supervisor Cheyenne Chen pushing for passage of a free fair and secure elections resolution we work hard um to earn our citizenship we um understood what it meant to become a citizen and that it's a privilege and an honor for us to think about uh not just think about but actually cast our vote hundreds of miles away U.S. District Court Judge David Carter weighing a Department of Justice challenge to thousands of names on the California voter rolls it says are not citizens and are not eligible to vote it was striking that they delivered this letter less than two weeks before the election takes place. There's absolutely no reason that if they wanted to take this action, they couldn't have taken it earlier. Santa Clara County along with Contra Costa County election officials receiving notices that according to the DOJ, hundreds of voters are ineligible. The legal consequences for either facilitating or ignoring federal crimes are significant. An alien voting in a federal election is a federal crime, and knowingly facilitating such conduct is equally unlawful. Aliens are prohibited from voting in any election involving federal offices. This is also a state offense in California. Being in their language, and they're providing no information to us about where they got this exactly. So I'm not very confident of its accuracy. Legal experts say the burden of proof is on the DOJ and that the Constitution gives control over elections to the states, not the White House. The states have the power to pass laws governing elections, voting, and the counting of ballots. And that's the way it's been forever. And then there's a separate section that talks about the power of Congress in certain situations in which there might be a concern about fraud to do something. But there is no role of the president. And tonight there is late word that a hacker tried to and actually did hack into the US Federal Elections Commission's systems. They had to do a temporary shutdown because of that. the ruling expected tomorrow. Obviously, all eyes are going to be watching that. We will keep an eye on it too, Alex, and we'll let everybody know once the judge makes his ruling. Yeah, closely watched case, obviously. What if the judge's decision goes against the Department of Justice? What do we imagine DOJ does next? Well, they'll probably file another lawsuit, but of course, they can also appeal. So they had appealed to the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals, and that court ruled, well, you don't have standings because the lower court hasn't even ruled yet, so we can't take the case yet. It was two to one, because one of the justices on the Court of Appeals said this has broad reaching ramifications, and so maybe we should hear it, but the other two said no. So if they rule against the Trump administration, then they can reappeal to the Ninth Circuit. And then if that doesn't work, they obviously can file more lawsuits. But right now, we just have to wait and see what the judge writes. He's going to take his time because he knows it's going to be pulled apart, you know, stem to stern. A lot of moving parts here with just a few days to go. A week to go. All right, Jesse, appreciate it. Thank you very much. All right, the Justice Department today announced the arrests of more than two dozen immigrants across the West, all accused of election crimes. All of these suspects who were arrested in California and Nevada are, quote, lawful permanent residents. According to authorities, they are facing a variety of charges, including voting by an alien in a federal election and making a false claim to citizenship in order to vote. The Justice Department says this sweep is part of a, quote, unwavering commitment to ensuring our elections remain fair and free from unlawful interference. If convicted, the suspects could face up to a year in prison, fines or both. Well, this election, voters across the West will be deciding whether to tax the wealthy. In Washington, Initiative 645 would repeal a 9.9% tax on household earnings over $1 million, which was originally passed by the state legislature. While in California, voters are deciding on Proposition 40, which would impose a one-time 5% tax on the assets of billionaires, with most of the revenue going to fund health care services. Let's talk more about these wealth taxes and bring in David McEwen, chair of the political science department at Sonoma State University. Professor, always appreciate the time. So this election, we've talked about it. The top issue for voters is affordability. So how do those concerns about high prices, about the cost of living right now, factor into how these voters in California and Washington are likely to view these wealth taxes on the ballot? Yeah, if you look across the country, Alex, you see nine measures that deal with wealth and income taxes across the country. Obviously, 645 in Washington, the battle over Prop 40, 41, 42 here in California. Just to kind of set the stage for this, when you see these measures, the wealthy have been kind of an object of you, if you will, through the ballot measure process to target this election season. That means that this is really a test for 2028 and issues related to affordability. Think of that divide in the Democratic Party between the DSA, the Democratic Socialists of America and the mainstream or kind of core Democrats. As that battle was going on, it spilled over in the ballot to test some of these messages. Just for your viewers in terms of further context, Proposition 40 and the battle that's going on there, the no on 40 forces combined with yes on 41, 42, their countermeasures that they have there. You put all of that together this particular election, it's almost half a billion dollars in spending. It's going to be record setting and be the most expensive midterm election and the most expensive ballot measure ever. This spills over into places like 645. And one of the issues of importance is that, look, if California passes 40, then it could be moved to millionaires through legislation similar to what occurred in Washington. And it's been one of the big omens, if you will, a big specters that have been raised by the no on 40 forces here in California. Yeah, it's been fascinating to watch the campaigns around Proposition 40 in California, because we have seen some real divisions among Democrats. We have the state Democratic Party in California, and they have endorsed this measure while we have the Democratic governor of the state, Obviously, Gavin Newsom, who has come out in opposition. Why are we seeing that split here among Democrats on this particular measure? Yeah, I think it's wise to point this out. Look, you have Steve Hilton, the Republican candidate for governor, who's with the same position as his opponent, Javier Becerra, and with Gavin Newsom against Proposition 40. You have a lot of labor against Proposition 40 and Planned Parenthood against Proposition 40. Everyone seems to be against Proposition 40, except for one union. And that's United Healthcare Workers West, those that are involved in healthcare who lose a lot of workers and a lot of push, if you will, because of what happened under the big beautiful bill under HR1. They're trying to recoup this idea related to healthcare costs. Because the benefits of 40 are one time, because they go to one union, that's split labor. So you see the Democratic House that is divided, but you see a California Democratic Party that's technically yes on 40, but they're not providing many resources for the yes side. And so the spending differential is huge as a result, leading to the no on 40 forces, spreading money to no on 40, yes on 41, 42, creating confusion with voters. When voters are confused, they get upset and then they vote no. Yeah, certainly makes sense. Let me ask you in particular about this heated debate that's unfolding in the state of Washington. over whether to repeal what they call the millionaire's tax, which the legislature had passed. It's this nine point nine percent tax on those with household incomes over one million dollars. But in a state that has never had an income tax before, how do you think voters are looking at this? And is there some level of concern about this potentially being kind of a slippery slope? Yeah, there is. And that's played an important element in the campaign in Washington. Washington, similar to Oregon, is kind of this bimodal, bipolar, Jekyll and Hyde type state, right? You run up and down the I-5 corridor, and that's blue country. There's Portland, Seattle, right, as you're running up north. And right along that I-5 corridor, a lot of Democrats. You move to the east, and you're moving into areas that are much redder, rural, and really resisting and worried about the slippery slope, that this opens the door to potential income taxes in these states. And that's been a very powerful argument. While there's been a broader assault against the zillionaire class, against millionaires, you see that across the country. But again, this is a test of how far that goes in terms of attacking millionaires or the wealthy and part of a broader class war, especially as the DSA has become more popular. And in states like the state like Washington and a city like Seattle, where the DSA has been very successful. How far does that go in these economic issues and how does that spill over in other areas of our politics? Yeah, so certainly the results, especially in these two elections on these two ballot measures could have a great deal, you know, could really affect the messaging, especially for the Democratic Party as we head toward 2028. Fascinating to think about all of it. We appreciate the time. Always good to have you, David McEwen from Sonoma State University. Thank you. Thank you. Nice to see you, Alex. Yeah, you too. Take care. Thank you. All right, let's turn now to our weather and high tides, coupled with rising sea levels from El Nino, are causing significant flooding across California's coast. SkyFox was overhead in the Bay Area today, where at least one car stalled out on a flooded road. The Marin County Office of Emergency Management is reminding people not to drive through those flooded areas. Well, record-breaking high tides flooded the boardwalks at Southern California beaches today. The lingering flood threat has shut down stretches of the Pacific Coast Highway. Fox 11's Nick Garcia shows us how people are coping with all the high water. While some splashed around, others used sandbags to try protecting cars and homes. In Newport Beach, the Balboa Peninsula also endured another day of flooding from king tides, rising water from the Newport Bay flooding this stretch of River Avenue. Once we saw that it was creeping up to us, we knew that we had to get prepared. His house is untouched for now. But with high tides still in the forecast, he's not taking any chances. We're just doing everything we can to prevent any long-term issues. I've been parking off-site too, so that I don't even risk having my car be exposed to the seawater. Over at the historic Balboa Fun Zone, what a difference a day makes. Monday, water filled businesses and prevented many from opening. Tuesday, less flooding because of reinforced berms and sandbags. but some businesses still unable to reopen. I've been here 30 years. It's the worst, probably one of the worst times. Hank Wiesner owns the Fun Zone Boat Company. He's concerned about the next couple months, which are typically busy for him. It's not going great business-wise, but we're dealing with it. We've got some trips coming up. We're trying to work around it. We've got some people coming in, so we need to figure out how we can get access to the docks. Hank there says he's hoping to open by the end of the week. The reinforcements here certainly helped keep that water to a minimum. They're hoping that will continue to be the case the next few days. In Newport Beach, I'm Nick Garcia. I'll send it back to you. All right, let's bring in KTVU meteorologist Roberta Gonzalez, who is tracking the flood threat along the California coast and, of course, conditions across the West. The high tides sort of peaking as we speak, right? Today and tomorrow, yes. And I got to tell you, I don't even need to track it because my cousin lives in Newport Beach. And boy, she's texting me like every other day. yeah that you see she's lived there 20 years and she said she's never experienced anything like this before so let's get to it yeah at this particular time like take a look at the high tide we had it at 9:56 this morning in southern california primarily around santa monica and boy in los angeles in the harbor a good 31 miles away to the northeast we did see up to eight feet inundation tomorrow's high tide is at 10:34 and followed by thursday's high tide and that should be the final day of these uh calving waves combined with the astronomical high tide the king tide all right significant coastal flooding coastal flood warning now this is for orange county and san diego the coastal flood advisory is anywhere from los angeles into santa barbara all the way north to san luis obispo with a couple feet inundation as well now this is again a look at santa monica in los angeles today the high was 78 it was cooler than that in santa monica at least by five degrees and meanwhile we take you to the city by the bay the city of san francisco beautiful view of the golden gate bridge because we had clear skies this morning once the clouds cleared out early 65 degrees which is pretty spot on for this time of year average highs right around 67 68 degrees but in the bay area we do have that coastal flood advisory in effect the inundation has been two feet above high tide we saw considerable flooding over here in the manzanita parkway also around highway 101 we've got a couple more days to go then we take you to seattle just shy of five one hundredths of an inch of rain today look at those beautiful altocumulus clouds gathering and as we take a look at our satellite and radar we see the precipitation line in the pacific northwest coast all the way into medford we saw just over a tenth of an inch of precipitation there but we do have a winter storm warning in effect for the cascades we're going to see some snow accumulations four to eight inches at mount baker we're seeing the Cascade Mountains, perhaps up to a foot of snow. All of this up to about 4,000 feet and above. Now, meanwhile, Phoenix, high temperature today, 87 degrees, which is where you should be for this time of the year. But I'm looking at thunderstorms there by the end of the work week. The shield of clouds here swarming over Southern California. By the weekend, we're looking at some rain showers for Halloween over Southern California. Northern California is kind of smashing in between, maybe a couple of sprinkles that's about it but let's back it up to tomorrow again the snow and the cascades morning fog in medford we're talking about breezy conditions in san francisco sun clouds mix in la and as you go in towards denver we're talking about seasonal temperatures in the 70s phoenix pretty seasonal too now we're talking about temperatures for the next three days there you have it in medford at 58 degrees on either side of that and then here we go with phoenix up to about 86 by Thursday but dropping with the thunderstorms by Friday. Alex? Okay Roberta thank you very much. Now to some breaking news we're following in the Bay Area where authorities right now are responding to what we understand is a Tesla semi-truck that is burning. It's caught fire here along Interstate 880 in Hayward in the East Bay in Alameda County. All of the southbound lanes of the freeway are shut down right now and this is causing a huge backup for drivers. You can see they are putting what we imagine is some sort of fire retardant, some of that foam to try to get this fire out. Again, this is an electric vehicle and these obviously can be very challenging for fire crews to navigate these fires. We have seen some of these electric vehicle fires burn for quite some time here. So you see crews, it does look like they're getting water on that fire as well here. But again, we understand this is a Tesla semi truck that has caught fire here on the freeway and crews working hard to try to get this fire out but in the meantime all the lanes of that freeway shut down as crews continue their work it is unclear if there are any injuries related to this fire we don't know if the driver or anyone else who was inside was able to get out safely we certainly hope that was the case but as you can see the flames quite stubborn here crews continuing to put water on these flames here in this fire but crews certainly have a lot of work to do. Obviously, it is early on here, so there's no indication on what exactly caused this fire. Again, we are reaching out for more information from the authorities in the Bay Area. Again, this is a fire burning along Interstate 880 in Hayward, a Tesla semi-truck that is on fire here. No word on what's inside that truck either, but obviously, we're working to gather more information. Wanted to bring you these live pictures here from the Bay Area. We'll move along here. And up next on West Coast Wrap, 52 years after the death of a Utah teenager, infamous serial killer Ted Bundy is tied to the killing. After the break, what investigators say solved this case? The murder of a Utah teenager 52 years ago has now been linked to serial killer Ted Bundy. Today, law enforcement officials in Utah closed the cold case murder of 17-year-old Melissa Ann Smith. Authorities say they were able to connect a DNA sample preserved from Smith's case to DNA from another Bundy victim in Utah, Laura Amy. Bundy is believed to have killed at least 30 girls and women in several states through the 1970s. The voices and cherished memories of Melissa Ann Smith and Laura Ann Amy and others involved in these cases ring louder than the hate and sedition of the one who took their lives. With every case closure, may we stomp the memory of Ted Bundy out. Bundy was executed in 1989 for the murders of two women at a sorority house at Florida State University in 1978. The FBI is investigating a Southern California billionaire as part of an investigation into former East Bay Congressman Eric Swalwell. A swarm of FBI agents searched the Beverly Hills mansion of developer and Swalwell donor Stephen Klubeck today. Swalwell reportedly spent time at his home before resigning from office back in April amid a wave of sexual misconduct allegations. He has not been charged and denies any criminal wrongdoing. Stephen Klubeck is the founder of the Diamond Resorts International timeshare company. He told the New York Post in April that he cut ties with Swalwell as accusations against him mounted. Up next here on West Coast Rap tonight, Jay-Z putting speculation to rest. After the break, what we know about his plan to headline the Super Bowl halftime show at SoFi Stadium in Southern California. After several days of speculation, Jay-Z has confirmed that he will be headlining this year's Super Bowl halftime show in Southern California. His company, Roc Nation, has been in charge of producing the NFL Super Bowl entertainment since 2019 as part of an agreement with the league. Now, the Grammy Award-winning hip-hop star and entrepreneur will take the stage for the big game on February 14th at SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, California. I talked earlier with TMZ's Charles Lauda Boudier about why JC decided to select himself as the halftime performer. Back when the NFL first struck this deal with Roc Nation to have them produce the halftime shows, Because Roger Goodell, the commissioner, made it very clear that he wanted Jay-Z to perform the Super Bowl halftime show. And at that time, Jay told him, look, if that's what this is about, if this partnership is just about getting me to do it, then we can just scrap it right now because that's not what I'm here for. That's not what I want to do. I want my company to produce this, and that's the whole deal. and you know at that point they kind of left it at the way Roger Goodell left it with him as well you just let us know whenever you want to do it we're good with that and Jay-Z just finished a global tour to celebrate the 30th anniversary of his debut album Reasonable Doubt he wrapped it up with a sold-out show at SoFi Stadium over this past weekend and now the speculation will begin about who may join Jay-Z on stage at the Super Bowl all right here is a live look at downtown Los Angeles tonight. You're watching West Coast Rap. Five men arrested by federal immigration agents during a Labor Day weekend camping trip in Washington have been released after weeks of detention. This is a case that has drawn scrutiny over the involvement of U.S. Forest Service. Today, Fox 13's Alejandro Guzman spoke with those men who say they fear they'll be deported. They're home, back with their families, but all five men are still wearing ankle monitors. A reminder that their release from immigration detention is not over. Faustino tells me it's an experience he wouldn't wish on anyone. He says he felt like a criminal, like something he'd seen in movies. The five Mexican nationals went camping with their wives and children over Labor Day weekend at the Mount Baker Snoqualmie National Forest when they say they were approached by forest rangers demanding their IDs, saying there was a trash issue at the campsite. The 38-year-old says they weren't deceived. He believes rangers weren't there because of the trash, but to see what their immigration status actually was. The men say they only realized people outside their tent were ICE agents after handing over their IDs in the middle of the night. The men say they were handcuffed and shackled around their waist and feet and driven to the detention center in Tacoma, where they spent about six weeks in custody. They say conditions inside were difficult, with poor food and lack of medical care that left them and many other detainees with infections. The men were released on bond after paying between $10,000 to $15,000 each. says he was relieved to hear the judge set bail he recalls walking back to his holding cell smiling yet sad for the hundreds of other immigrants still detained the 29 year old says being separated from their wives and children was very difficult trauma he says lingers as he now wakes up to his wife crying and their son screaming his name. Their reunion is bittersweet. Some of them miss their children or wives' birthdays while in custody. The tough part now are the questions from their children. Rolando says his eight-year-old daughter, like many of the children, asks about his ankle monitor. He's honest with her, explaining he's not in the country legally. With their immigration cases pending, the men can no longer work. For now, they're trying to enjoy every minute they have with their families as the possibility of being home together may not last. Alvaro says they feel trapped and frustrated by the process they're going through. While they're hopeful to earn lawful residency, he fears in one or two years they'll learn they'll be deported. Alejandra Usman, Fox 13 News. All right, let's talk more about this case, and we want to bring in Bill Hing, director of the Immigration and Deportation Defense Clinic at the University of San Francisco. I want to ask you about the involvement of U.S. Forest Service here, because obviously that's getting a lot of attention. But first off, are you surprised that these five men were released on bond by the judge as they await their immigration court dates? Well, yes and no, Alex. That's a really good question, because what we've seen in habeas cases where we file federal court papers to try to get somebody released from custody is that some judges will some federal judges will just order release period across the board other judges will federal judges will send it to an immigration judge which is what happened in this case and the immigration judge has the discretion on whether to set bond or not whereas in other parts of the country and this just happened this week in the fifth circuit in the Texas area, that federal court held that these men, if these men had been in Texas, they would not have even been eligible for bond. So it's all over the board. It's all over the place. Yeah, that's why it sort of stuck out to me. I wanted to ask you about that. Let me ask you about the other issue at play here that people are talking about with this case is the involvement of U.S. Forest Service personnel here. They apparently approached these families at their campsite and then collected IDs from these men. How unusual is it for Forest Service members to take that kind of a step and then call in immigration authorities. Very unusual. I'm very disappointed if these reports are true, because what this means is the Trump administration is essentially deputizing every federal employee to try to start asking people about their immigration status and if they're not satisfied to call ICE. And let me remind your viewers that forestry people, they're not trained immigration officers. And so they don't know whether or not somebody's documented or not. And the fact that these men were approached, I wonder how many other people they've approached. Yeah, I was curious. I mean, do we have any sense of how often something like this may happen where forest service personnel are involved, even in sort of a peripheral sort of way with immigration enforcement? I've never heard of this before, but that doesn't mean it hasn't happened. I mean, this is the one that has gotten reported. And so I think it's a reflection of the fact that many, many federal employees now feel like they are also licensed to start asking people about their immigration status. Yeah, we know that members of Washington's congressional delegation are now demanding more of an explanation about this particular situation. What do you think they are looking to learn about how US Forest Service members may be coordinating with ICE? Yeah, I think that they wanna know what kind of communications have been going on and whether or not their supervisors have been told that they have to do immigration enforcement. Or if this was just a one off, if these forestry service personnel just happened to do this. So that's what the information is that's being thought. Is this a new normal, or was this just one of those oddball situations? And finally here, with the time we have left, what do you think the takeaway is for folks who are visiting national parks? Gosh, you know, when we do Know Your Rights presentations, Alex, we have to keep on expanding them and warning people that anything can happen. And this, a year or two ago, we would have said confidently that you're not going to be asked about immigration status at a camping site by a forest person. But now, we're not sure. We can't say that confidently. All right. I appreciate the insight. Always good to have you on, Professor Bill Hing from the University of San Francisco. Thank you so much for doing it. Thank you. Yeah, take care. Thank you. All right. Let's turn back now to our weather situation here in the West. There's a whole lot going on, but we want to take you out to the Hawaiian Islands. and they are seeing a return of the threat of flooding. People in Hawaii are bracing for another round of rising water. Here is a live look at the scene in Honolulu, where heavy rain is expected through tomorrow morning. Certainly looks cloudy and a bit ominous there in that shot. Let's bring in KTVU meteorologist Roberta Gonzalez, who is tracking the tropical moisture in Hawaii here. And this is sort of a unique pattern. This is driven by winds coming in from the west. How unusual is this situation we're seeing in Hawaii? It's unusual when you combine it with the remnants of what was once Tropical Storm Olana. Yeah, okay. Yeah, so they're combining together. And we have to stop and think. Hawaii's already been hit by three major hurricanes this season, right? Seven have formed in the Central Pacific. Five have hurricane strength, major hurricane strength, and have been named. And again, three out of those five hit the Hawaiian Islands for a total of 117 inches of rain in some locations. And now here we are at this particular time. As you can see behind me here, when you see all this green on the screen, the rain is already impacting the Hawaiian Islands. What can we expect in terms of the possibility of flash flooding? Oh, tremendous flash flooding is going to occur. On all the islands? All eight islands right now that you're taking a look at, those islands do have flash flood watches in effect at this particular time. The islands that we're expecting to be hit the hardest as far as rainfall is concerned, and it is under 10 inches at this time. But the damage has been done. The ground is saturated, right? And we're talking about Oahu, and we're talking about Maui County. So Hilo is dodging the bullet on this one, but they'll have rain and wind. And the time has been moved a little bit. It now looks like, let me put this in fast forward for you. It looks like the heaviest rain will occur on Wednesday afternoon. And then it will continue through Thursday, but then all is said and done pretty much by Friday. So the sun will reappear for the weekend. A couple days of heavy rain and flash flooding likely. hatches but again wind and rain and just an ominous season for everyone in Hawaii okay and as we talked about it's been already a very difficult year for tropical storms on the Hawaiian islands they've been hit extremely hard by some of these systems and and how much longer is the hurricane season how much longer do they have to go until November 30th but again tell that to a hurricane all right it's not going to just stop on November 30th yeah but still that's when hurricane season does end so more than a month to go realistically the elevated threat yeah we've already had record amount of hurricanes develop in the central and eastern pacific at this particular time and it's not over no more coming okay roberta we appreciate it thank you all right much more to come here on west coast wrap tonight five hours after being declared dead an arizona toddler woke up in a morgue coming up tonight his mother shares the frustration with how this case was handled. Now to Arizona, where a state lawmaker is urging Governor Katie Hobbs to declare a state of emergency after a tornado touchdown in Navajo County. This was one of two tornadoes in the state last Wednesday night, causing widespread damage to homes and property. State Representative Walt Blackman says many homeowners in his district don't have insurance that covers tornado damage. He says that a declaration should have been made the day after the storm. This isn't just a, I need a state of emergency. This is a real live issue and I expect the governor's office to do more than what was done. Governor Hobbs' office says state agencies are working closely with Navajo County leaders on recovery efforts, adding that disaster relief assistance given through a state emergency declaration supports repairing infrastructure and not private property. Well, an Arizona mother whose son was found alive in a hospital morgue is now speaking out. As Fox 10's Megan Spector explains, the mother says she thought her son was still breathing when she gave him a final hug, but an emergency room doctor insisted that he was dead. They failed him that day. Nearly five hours after the doctor called time of death, 18-month-old Vincent Fiordolino was found alive in the hospital's cold room. Above all else, I'm grateful that I still have my son and that I could see him every day. But that gratitude is paired with frustration and anger. Police reports and body cam footage show officers and family members repeatedly warned hospital staff that the boy still seemed to be breathing, even after being pronounced dead. I couldn't believe it. I didn't really want to until I had to say my goodbyes. And then even then, like feeling him, it felt like he breathed. He was trying to breathe and they kept on telling me that it was just agonal breathing. How many people have to say, I think he's breathing mom, dad, grandma, police officer. The family's attorney is also alleging critical oversight, saying medical records show Vincent was declared dead before oxygen test results came back and that staff failed to check his core body temperature. They looked at him and said it wasn't worth it. And that's like, that's what really bothers me the most. It's like they just wrote him off, and I don't know why. And I just don't want to know why. Eight months later, Vincent is alive, but the fight is far from over. Compared to that, I mean, he's okay. But it's every day is a struggle for him. It's hard watching him kind of struggle through certain things, and it's just difficult. His whole life has changed. Everything he was able to do before, he can't. The family's attorney will be filing a complaint against the doctor and the hospital this week. The whole thing, there's warning signs after warning signs, and this just isn't on the doctor. This is on the hospital as well. I mean, how do they permit him to do that? And that was Fox 10's Megan Spector reporting tonight. The Gilbert, Arizona Police Department says it has forwarded information to the state attorney general's office for review. The AG has not yet made a decision on whether to review the case. Up next here on West Coast Rap tonight, the San Francisco 49ers made a key trade today, and they bring back a familiar face. We'll break down this move after the break. Well, in the midst of their bye week, the San Francisco 49ers front office isn't taking any time off. The Niners have reportedly acquired three-time Pro Bowl defensive tackle DeForest Buckner. Let's bring in KTVU sports reporter Bailey O'Carroll. All right, why is Buckner coming back? Because the Niners want more depth. They are well aware that injuries in the NFL are a sure thing but Buckner is going to be a huge addition to this Niners squad he's disruptive he's everywhere he is the only defensive tackle in the NFL this season to record three sacks and three batted passes so that just proves that again he's everywhere and he is also going to help the Niners run defense he is sixth on the list of defensive tackles when it comes to being able to stop the run he is listed in uh i should say in the top six um the other player that the Niners have listed on that list is Grayson Halton the rookie so he is going to really help this Niners team once they get Nick Bosa back their edge rusher pressure on the quarterbacks opposing quarterbacks it's going to be there but uh Buckner he was a Niner they drafted him back in 2016 he He was traded after three seasons as a Niner, and now he's back. So the Niners getting all these guys back together, the band back together, George Kittle, Kyle Juszczyk, everybody excited that the now vet is coming back to Santa Clara, and there shouldn't be too much of a learning curve because he's well aware of Kyle Shanahan's system. Yeah, he knows everyone on the squad, knows the system. Hopefully he picks up right where he left off. That's the hope for the team, I'm sure. All right, so the Niners' NFC West rivals, the Seattle Seahawks, also making some moves as well today, picking up an all pro guard also coming in from the Indianapolis Colts as well. What's behind this move? Yeah. So I like to think that the Seahawks made their move and then the Niners say, we'll raise you a little bit here. Uh, just kind of going back and forth that, that rivalry evident, uh, guard Quentin Nelson coming over from Indianapolis to Seattle, eight time pro bowler. He's allowed zero sacks. He has just a 2% pressure rate something that Seattle has struggled with this season is being able to protect their quarterback in Sam Darnold so Nelson will help to be able to do that and and that's the what makes this offense go is Sam Darnold being able to connect with JSN and the rest of their offensive weapons so a big move by Seattle here and sure to help them as the season goes on because protecting the quarterback is the part of the game absolutely and the Seahawks had that big win over the Kansas City Chiefs on Sunday. All right, the Golden State Valkyries. Let's shift to the WNBA finals because the Valkyries now are one win away from winning the WNBA finals and winning a championship in just their second year. Just sort of a remarkable story. They are headed to Atlanta. They're taking on the Dream for game six coming up on Thursday. And there's a lot being made about the early start time with this game. It starts 9:30 in the morning Pacific time. How is the team how's the head coach looking at this how are they thinking about the early start time they don't care they don't care simply put the Valkyries do not care Veronica Burton saying yesterday it doesn't matter what time the game's at she'll be there they just need the court two hoops and each other is what Kia Stokes says but Valkyries on their way to Atlanta right now for game six of the finals with a chance to close it out on the road this Valkyries team saying they don't want to come back to the Bay Area to close things out. They don't want a game seven. They said that they just want to close it out on the road. They don't care. But yes, the tip off is 930. Folks are at work. Kids are in school. And there's an NBA game after that. So whoever, if the Valkyries win the championship, they will sort of be rushed off the court because they're going to have to flip it to get ready for an NBA game that night. So a lot of potential, maybe we call it like oddities or differences compared to years past. Yeah, well, we've seen a lot of sort of shifting around of the venues and now the time, the start times for these WNBA finals games here. But obviously the Valkyries looking to close this out in Atlanta. Nobody wants to, you know, come back for a game seven and try to wrap things up. OK, finally here, we're talking about the Warriors rookie Jaxxon Landenburg, who we've talked about before. He sort of made a name for himself initially in his first game as a rookie when he was going toe-to-toe with Luka Doncic of the Dallas Mavericks but he's making a splash and uh you know and and people are praising what they're seeing so far yeah I mean people saying that he is the rookie of the year favorite now we are just four games into the W or I should say the NBA season uh we are far into the WNBA um but yeah Lex Yaxel Landenburg made maybe his mark heard first, his game heard second, but his game is right there. The only NBA players with 85-plus points, 35-plus rebounds in their first four NBA games, this list, Shaq, Patrick Ewing, David Robinson, and Yaxel Landenburg. It's a rare air that he is in as a rookie, and the Warriors looking like they made a good draft pick. Yes, someone to keep an eye on here as the NBA season moves ahead. OK, Bailey, appreciate it. Thank you. Much more to come here on West Coast Rap. Tonight, a spectacular sight in the Pacific Northwest. After the break, watch orcas at play in the wild. A project to build a high speed rail line connecting Las Vegas with Southern California is still on pause amid federal funding struggles. Developer Brightline West broke ground on this project back in 2024, but heavy construction has been delayed as the company waits on a $6 billion federal loan from the Railroad Rehabilitation and Improvement Financing Program. Today, Brightline confirmed it is still working to secure that funding. The project was originally slated to be completed in time for the 2028 Olympics in Los Angeles, but that timeline has since been pushed back. It's not clear when construction will be cleared to resume. Seattle Seahawks backup quarterback Jalen Milrow took some time off the football field on Monday to visit Virginia Mason Franciscan Health Medical Center in Puyallup. Milrow took part in a roundtable discussion in his role as an ambassador for the American Cancer Society and the NFL's Crucial Catch Initiative promoting cancer screening and education. He says getting that message out is personal for him. Mom having breast cancer, my dad having lymphoma. My dad had it before my mom. And so just the whole process that it took for them to get healthy and also putting their trust in great nurses. So I think that's something that's very important, is finding the right community, finding the right community of people, and also being uplifted with people that want you to be healthy. The Seahawks say the team is donating 12% of the proceeds from purchases of official Crucial Catch gear to the Crucial Catch Fund. Well, some Seattle residents caught more than a sunset last night. New video shows a pod of orcas enjoying a relaxing swim as the sun sets over the Pacific. You can see the pod leisurely swim past a group of paddle boarders while ferries and boats sail in the distance. They have been identified as big killer whales, also known as transient orcas. They are typically found along the Pacific coast of the U.S. where they hunt sea lions and porpoises. Well, that does it for West Coast Wrap tonight. We appreciate you watching. You're watching Fox Local.
