ICE agents just arrested 4 more immigrants at SF immigration court this afternoon. 3 women, one man. All apparently from Columbia. More @ 5:30 on @nbcbayarea, including video of arrests

We’ve been in SF immigration court all morning and witnessed plainclothes ICE agents detain four separate people here and put them into unmarked vehicles.

ICE agents have been spotted in hallways and waiting rooms of Bay Area immigration courts this week, concerning attorneys who say courts, and those with pending cases, have typically been hands off

Next Generation 911 is California’s new statewide emergency calling system. The entire state was supposed to be in the network but public safety concerns led to @Cal_OES suspending deployment.

Now @nbcbayarea is uncovering new problems with the system — call problems and a 6 hour outage just months ago. #WeInvestigate

Oakland Diocese accused of transferring $106 million just before bankruptcy.

Records show the Oakland Parochial Fund, created in 2014 by the Diocese, is under the direct control of the Roman Catholic Bishop of Oakland and had been dormant for years.

EXCLUSIVE: California suspends all deployment of @Cal_OES’ new #NextGeneration911 network.

Now, state 911 officials are trying to figure out if they were misled when they weren't informed of safety concerns.

The result of @nbcbayarea's investigations.
