I’M TEO TORRES. 4:30 A.M. AND WE’RE DRYING OUT A BIT COMPARED TO ABOUT 24 HOURS AGO. LET’S GO TO OPHELIA YOUNG IN FOR TAMARA BERG THIS MORNING. YEAH, TEO DRYING OUT AND LOOKING FORWARD TO A REALLY NICE REST OF YOUR WEEK THIS MORNING. HOWEVER, WE ARE LOOKING OUT TO CLEAR SKIES. HOWEVER, CHECKING THE WEATHER STATION TEMPERATURE 50 DEGREES. DEW POINT TEMPERATURE 49. WHICH DOES MEAN OUR ATMOSPHERE AT THE SURFACE IS PRIME FOR FOG. WE’RE WALKING OUT TO AREAS OF PATCHY FOG THIS MORNING, ESPECIALLY IN THE FOOTHILLS AND THE SIERRA THAT AIR STILL PRETTY SATURATED BEHIND OUR WEATHER SYSTEM THAT IS MOVING INTO THE ROCKIES NOW. UP NEXT, WE DO HAVE HIGH PRESSURE AND A NORTH WIND THAT WILL WARM US UP TODAY. STEPPING OUT THIS MORNING. THE AIR IS CHILLY. UPPER 40S IN YUBA CITY AND STOCKTON. WE HAVE 50 EXACTLY LIKE I MENTIONED IN SACRAMENTO. WE ALSO HAVE 40S IN THE FOOTHILLS WITH THE SIERRA COMING IN AT FREEZING IF NOT COLDER. THOSE WINDS ARE LIGHT OUT OF THE NORTH AND TEMPERATURES ARE GOING TO WARM A LITTLE FASTER THAN YESTERDAY. A LITTLE MORE THAN YESTERDAY. LOW 60S AFTER LUNCHTIME, LOOKING AT 72 DEGREES FOR THE HIGH TODAY WITH SUNSHINE BY AFTERNOON. ALSO PLENTY OF SUNSHINE IN THE FOOTHILLS AFTER THEIR FOG BURNS OFF. 65 DEGREES WILL BE THEIR HIGH IN THE SIERRA. WILL KEEP THINGS COOL, THOUGH NOT AS COOL AS YESTERDAY. THEY ONLY ENDED UP IN THE 40S. THEIR HIGH TODAY 56 DEGREES. SO WE’LL TAG ON TEN FOR THE SIERRA. WE HAVE SOME FREEZING FOG RIGHT NOW. HOWEVER, IF YOU’RE STEPPING OUT IN THE MOUNTAINS. COMING UP, WE’LL BREAK DOWN THESE NUMBERS BY YOUR NEIGHBORHOOD TEO. ALL RIGHT, WE’LL LOOK FOR THAT. THANK YOU. IN YUBA COUNTY, SIX PEOPLE, INCLUDING THREE CHILDREN, ARE IN THE HOSPITAL AFTER THIS HEAD-ON CRASH NEAR COLLINS LAKE. THIS HAPPENED AROUND 5 P.M. ON MARYSVILLE ROAD NEAR LEON WAY. HIGHWAY PATROL SAYS ONE DRIVER DRIFTED INTO ONCOMING TRAFFIC. THE WOMAN BEHIND THE WHEEL WAS AIRLIFTED WITH MAJOR INJURIES. THE MAN DRIVING THE OTHER CAR WAS ALSO FLOWN TO THE HOSPITAL WITH A BROKEN ARM AND ADDITIONAL INJURIES, AND A WOMAN AND THREE CHILDREN IN THAT VEHICLE SUSTAINED MINOR INJURIES. THE DAYCARE EMPLOYEE IN LIVE OAK IS ACCUSED OF SEXUALLY ABUSING SEVERAL CHILDREN. SUTTER COUNTY SHERIFF’S OFFICE SAYS 63 YEAR-OLD STEVEN CRUZ OF LIVE OAK WORKED AT AND ABUSED CHILDREN AT CRUZ AURELIA FAMILY CHILD CARE HOME. DEPUTIES ARRESTED AND BOOKED HIM ON FELONY CHARGES. CITY OF LIVE OAK REVOKED THE BUSINESS LICENSE FOR CRUZ’S PLAYHOUSE DAYCARE BUSINESS, EFFECTIVE IMMEDIATELY. THE SHERIFF’S OFFICE SAYS CRUZ WAS IN CHARGE OF TRANSPORTATION FOR THE KIDS, BUT SAID MOST OF THE ABUSE HAPPENED INSIDE OF THAT HOME. THESE ALLEGATIONS ARE NOT THE FIRST AGAINST THIS DAYCARE. BACK IN DECEMBER OF 2023, A CALIFORNIA DEPARTMENT OF SOCIAL SERVICES RECEIVED A COMPLAINT ABOUT ALLEGED SEX ABUSE AT THE DAYCARE. STATE DOCUMENTS SAY A CHILD REPORTED BEING TOUCHED INAPPROPRIATELY BY AN ADULT WHO HAS NOT BEEN NAMED, BUT THE INVESTIGATOR DETERMINED THE CLAIMS COULD NOT BE SUBSTANTIATED AT THAT TIME. THE CASE FROM 2023 IS BEING REOPENED AND WE WILL BE INVESTIGATING. ADDITIONALLY ON THAT, THE INCIDENT FROM 2023 AND THE INCIDENT FROM YESTERDAY ARE TWO SEPARATE VICTIMS. KCRA 3 REACHED OUT TO THE DAYCARE YESTERDAY. WE DID NOT HEAR BACK. CRUZ IS CURRENTLY BEING HELD WITHOUT BAIL AND HIS ARRAIGNMENT IS SCHEDULED FOR TOMORROW AT 2 P.M. TEACHER AT ELK GROVE LAGUNA CREEK HIGH SCHOOL IS ACCUSED OF SEXUALLY ASSAULTING ONE OF HIS FORMER STUDENTS. DETECTIVES SAY 38 YEAR OLD DAVID COLLINS, SEEN HERE, HAD A SEXUAL RELATIONSHIP WITH A STUDENT SOMETIME BETWEEN 2015 AND 18. DETECTIVES ARRESTED COLLINS AND SEARCHED HIS HOME YESTERDAY MORNING. THEY SAY THEY CONFIRMED THE RELATIONSHIP AND BOOKED HIM INTO THE SACRAMENTO COUNTY JAIL. HE’S EXPECTED TO APPEAR IN COURT TOMORROW. ALSO, A MAN ACCUSED OF TRIGGERING AN HOURS LONG STANDOFF IN SACRAMENTO COUNTY IS STILL IN THE HOSPITAL. DEPUTIES SAY IT ALL STARTED WEEKS AGO WHEN JOSEPH CARINO GOT IN AN ARGUMENT WITH HIS NEIGHBOR ON KINCAID WAY. YESTERDAY, HIS NEIGHBOR ACCUSED HIM OF VANDALIZING THEIR CAR. DEPUTIES SAY THEY SURROUNDED CARINO’S HOME AND ASKED HIM TO COME OUTSIDE, BUT HE REFUSED RIGHT BEFORE HE SURRENDERED. THOUGH DEPUTIES SAY HE SHOT AT THEM AND THEIR SURVEILLANCE DRONE, THEY SAY SOME OF THOSE STRAY BULLETS PIERCED A HOME WITH PEOPLE INSIDE. CARINO WAS ARRESTED AND TAKEN TO THE HOSPITAL AS A PRECAUTION. NORTH OF 10,000. THE WHITE HOUSE SAYS THAT’S THE NUMBER OF FEDERAL GOVERNMENT LAYOFFS THAT COULD HAPPEN DURING THIS SHUTDOWN. BUT A FEDERAL JUDGE HAS TEMPORARILY BLOCKED THE TRUMP ADMINISTRATION FROM FIRING THOSE EMPLOYEES. NBC’S ALICE BARR HAS DETAILS FROM WASHINGTON. AS THE GOVERNMENT SHUTDOWN DRAGS ON, THE STAKES ARE RAMPING UP. WE’RE GETTING RID OF A LOT OF THINGS THAT WE NEVER WANTED AND PROMPTING A NEW LEGAL BATTLE, A FEDERAL JUDGE TEMPORARILY BLOCKING THE TRUMP ADMINISTRATION FROM LAYING OFF FEDERAL WORKERS DURING THE SHUTDOWN, EVEN AS WHITE HOUSE BUDGET DIRECTOR RUSSELL VOGT PROMISED TO PICK UP THE PACE FROM THE 4000 ALREADY CUT. THIS SHUTDOWN, IT COULD GROW HIGHER. I THINK WE’LL PROBABLY END UP BEING NORTH OF 10,000. VOGT IS A LONGTIME ADVOCATE FOR SHRINKING THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT, AND DEMOCRATS ARGUE THE NEW THREATS ARE A CONTINUATION OF HIS PLAN ALL ALONG. THESE EMPLOYEES HAVE BEEN TRAUMATIZED AND RECEIVED WORD BY THIS ADMINISTRATION SINCE INAUGURATION DAY. THESE ARE ILLEGAL FIRINGS. TWO UNIONS SUED TO PREVENT THE FIRINGS THAT A FEDERAL JUDGE IN CALIFORNIA HAS NOW AGREED ARE ILLEGAL, WRITING IN PART, THAT THE TRUMP ADMINISTRATION HAS, QUOTE, TAKEN ADVANTAGE OF THE LAPSE IN GOVERNMENT SPENDING AND GOVERNMENT FUNCTIONING TO ASSUME THAT ALL BETS ARE OFF AND THE LAWS DON’T APPLY TO THEM ANYMORE. AS THE FIGHT GROWS FROM THE COURTS TO CAPITOL HILL, WHERE DEMOCRATS AND REPUBLICANS ARE DEADLOCKED OVER HOW TO REOPEN THE GOVERNMENT EVERY DAY, PEOPLE ARE SUFFERING. FOOD BANKS SEEING A SURGE IN NEED. WORKERS AT THIS ONE IN ALABAMA DESCRIBING THE STRUGGLES OF ONE FEDERAL WORKER FAMILY. THEY’RE NOT GETTING A PAYCHECK. AND THIS HAS NEVER HAPPENED TO THEM BEFORE. AND THEY WERE EMBARRASSED AND HUMILIATED AND TERRIFIED. REAL WORLD IMPACTS WITH NO END IN SIGHT IN WASHINGTON. ALICE BARR, NBC NEWS. WELL, THE JUDGE ACCUSED THE TRUMP ADMINISTRATION OF TARGETING THE OPPOSING PARTY, WHILE GOVERNMENT ATTOR
