right now at 11, title 42 has ended. so what's next for the tens of thousands of migrants looking for asylum in the u.s. we have live team coverage from along the border. good evening. all eyes are on the southern border. two hours ago, the covid era policy known as title 42 that allowed immigration officials to quickly turn away migrants at the u.s. border at mexico expired. >> that's prompted thousands of migrants to show up at the border, hoping to be selected to apply for asylum. this is a live look now at the crowd in the san ysidro. now over that fence in the foreground there is tijuana,

where migrants are literally camping out. a similar scene across many border towns from california to arizona to texas. people hoping the end of title 42 means the beginning of a new life in the u.s. also late tonight, a setback for the biden administration. we have a crew at the border and in san francisco. let's begin here in the city with nbc's gia vang. gia? >> reporter: yeah, raj, as you talked about, late tonight a federal judge blocking the administration from implementing a policy that would allow for the release of migrants without a court date. and the judge halting it for two weeks. this goes to show how last-minute how confusing this can all be for immigrants rights groups that are following all these developments, and including groups right here in sf. tonight anxious migrants have been waiting at the u.s.-mexico border all day from small children to adults in hopes of being allowed entry before title 42 expired at 9:00 p.m. our time.

the change came with the end of the coronavirus restrictions that allowed the u.s. to quickly turn back migrants for the last three years. it comes with a list of worries from local immigration advocates. >> we're concerned that the predominant narrative is that somehow the sun setting of title 42 today means that the borders are open, which is absolutely not true. in fact, our understanding is that if anything, the asylum system of the united states in its prior form will become even more difficult. >> reporter: the crisis at the southern border is hitting record levels with 11,000 being taken into custody wednesday alone. all of it means immigration rights groups are fighting bad information and confusion over the new biden policies that include encouraging migrants to apply for asylum through an online process. >> we are concerned that by moving things to an online portal it's actually filtering out people who otherwise would be able to walk up to the u.s. ports of entry and request protection, or at least a chance to make their case in u.s. immigration court.

>> reporter: in tijuana, blaine bookey arrived thursday from the bay area. she is a legal representative at uc law sf. >> i didn't see any lines forming or individuals at the ports of entry that i went to. so i went around to the different shelters today. and what i saw were people who are extremely depressed and confused and, you know, really just trying to make sense of very confusing and unjust policies. >> reporter: many are attempting to reach out to other sectors for help like the hispanic chamber of commerce in sf. it's fielding three to five calls a day. >> asking us, do we know anybody, attorneys that don't charge too much or do we have anybody, any organization that we can refer them. >> reporter: in the south bay, local immigration advocates say they're gearing up for an influx of migrants who will end up there. the rapid response network of santa clara county is working to

find temporary housing, for migrants when needed. all comes with a warning from alejandro mayorkas. he said shortly after title 42 ended, ballooned to 24,000 agents adding don't believe smugglers. the border is not open. >> if anyone arrives at our southern border after midnight tonight, they will be presumed ineligible for asylum and subject to steeper consequences for unlawful entry, including a minimum five-year ban on reentry and potential criminal prosecution. >> reporter: another late development tonight. a federal lawsuit out of northern california here. the aclu and other immigration advocacy groups are challenging the biden administration's new policy of limiting asylum for people who cross the border without prior authorization. and that was filed less than an hour after title 42 expired. live in san francisco. back to you. >> gia, thank you. it is confusing for a lot of people, and it's a lot of moving parts here.

among those moving parts, where are all the migrants going? the ones that do get admitted here into the u.s. seeking asylum? well, this bus load from texas arrived in washington, d.c. at the residence of vice president kamala harris. just hours before title 42 expired. more than 30 men, women, and children, mostly from venezuela, were dropped off. this is the second bus to arrive in less than 24 hours. coming up in ten minutes, we're going to go live to the boarder in san ysidro for a closer look. one of our nbc reporters is there. a home invasion came to a peaceful end in fremont. the suspect, who barricaded himself inside an apartment eventually surrendered to police. this unfolded at a breyerwood apartment on bay street. that's in the irvington neighborhood. the man barricaded himself for about 90 minutes. officers were finally able to get him to come out, and he was eventually arrested. a fiery mess at the antioch bart station today. six vehicles exploded into

flames in the parking lot of that bart station. so people got off their bart trains, went to their cars and saw the destruction. here is nbc bay area's thom jensen. >> reporter: three cars and three trucks all torched so thoroughly in the antioch bart parking lot that they're unusable for anything but a few salvageable parts. logan delgadillo parked his truck here hours before a gas thief trying to drill into a tank of another truck accidentally started the fire. >> i left at 1:00, and everything was perfectly fine. >> reporter: a confire spokesman tells nbc bay area when the drill sparked at about 2:00 this afternoon, it ignited gasoline running out of this honda ridgeline and into the parking lot. the honda's owner says he heard about the fires when he was riding bart after work, and he was just hoping his truck wasn't damaged. >> well, instantly i was sad. i've had a lot of good memories in this truck. >> reporter: joseph says it's the first time he has used bart, something he was doing to save

money, and now his truck is destroyed. >> i'm guessing it will all be covered. >> reporter: a man who parks here frequently says he's seen numerous car break-ins in this lot in the middle of the day, just like this alleged gas theft this afternoon. >> they need to do something about their security. it doesn't matter in the bart or the parking lot. >> reporter: george, who commutes from oakland on bart says the thieves seem fearless, and i likely won't stop unless there are regular patrols. >> they're not afraid because nobody here. >> reporter: so far there is no suspect in custody. we reached out to bart about the fires and security and to see if there is surveillance video of the thieves starting the gas fire but they didn't respond. thom jensen, nbc bay area news. an explosives factory with munitions. that's what sjpd is calling the discovery of more than 100 pounds and chemicals for explosive devices in a warehouse on old bayshore highway. the discovery made by officers responding to a burglar alarm on monday.

the owner, this guy of the warehouse was arrested. police say they found more explosives at his home in south san jose as well. a 91-year-old decorated war hero mugged and then thrown to the ground at a bus stop in redwood city. and the thief took his computer, but not his courage. tonight he is sharing his story and calling for more security at bus stops all throughout the bay area. stephanie magallon has the story that's new at 11:00. >> that was my uniform in the front line. >> reporter: 91-year-old roger frye is a war hero. awarded the bronze medal for his bravery, a trait that came back to life as he tried to stop man he says robbed and then attacked him at this bus station in redwood city. >> nobody intervened. i knew it was my fight. >> reporter: it was sunday afternoon, and roger was headed home from best buy where he took his new laptop for an update. his old laptop was recently stolen from his home. and now this. he says a man on a bike snatched

his laptop from the back of his wheelchair as he waited for a bus. >> i said hey, give it back to me. and i went after him. >> reporter: roger says he held on to the man's bike as others called police. >> yeah. >> reporter: but that's when he got thrown to the ground. >> he was pounding on me. >> reporter: the suspect took off, and roger was left injured with no laptop, which is what helps him communicate with his friends and family. >> they crossed me. >> i understand in the climate that we live in that people are afraid, didn't know if the person had a gun or knife. but when roger said that nobody came to his aid until after the person left, that just really angered me. >> reporter: san fran says it's investigating the incident, but so far there has been no arrest, and there were no cameras to catch the crime, a situation that upsets roger. he believes bus stations should have cameras and security.

>> if they were there, they could have stopped him. >> reporter: he hopes there is change because nothing stopping him from going out and being roger. >> i'm not going to let that hold me back. >> reporter: in redwood city, stephanie magallon, nbc bay area news. new video tonight of the exact moment that 5.5 magnitude earthquake hit the sierra nevada. almost knocking people off their chairs there. this is at 4:00 p.m. in plumas county near lake almanor. it's a rural part of the sierra. show you video from the restaurant at the plumas pines resort. people felt it into sacramento. the damage was minimal thankfully and no injuries reported. still no deal. oakland unified teachers are heading into day seven of their strike tomorrow. but today tempers flared on the picket line. ♪♪ >> oh!

we want to get become to our top story, title 42 has ended, and there is a lot of concern about really what happens next along the border. not just mexicans here, but migrants from around the world showing up, hoping to get asylum here in the u.s. nbc's annabelle is along the boarder in san ysidro. this is near tijuana. annabelle, what are you seeing at this hour? >> reporter: hi, raj. yes, let me tell you that it's pretty quiet at this hour. when the clock struck 9, a lot of us were out here, expecting or wondering what was going to happen. and i have to say it remained pretty calm there was no chaos out here. all we heard were the volunteers handing out food, trying to get some, you know, organizational -- some type of -- they were trying to organize a lot of the migrants

that are in what's known as no-man's-land. really, we've seen a lot more activity as far as a number of migrants that are behind these bars that you see behind me. there is a primary fence and there is a secondary fence. and in between, you see a lot more migrants. i have to say, we've been here for several day, and we see about maybe four times as much migrants here today than we have seen on monday. we've seen a lot more police activity, homeland security was here. border patrol has been driving around this area. because nobody really knew what was going to happen once the clock struck 9:00 p.m. so as of right now, we have to say that it's been pretty quiet. we did hear of somebody who was attempting to jump over at one point. and that was a few hours ago before 9:00 p.m. and, you know, of course, we know a lot of these migrants are pretty desperate. but for the most part, everybody is keeping calm inside. >> annabelle, thank you.

reporting for us near the boarder in san ysidro. well, they are sleek and they are clean, but are they problematic? our investigative unit has been looking into bart's fleet of the future that's having a persistent issue, a glitch in the braking system led to chronic delays throughout our rainy season. jaxon van derbeken tells us that same glitch could well come back with a vengeance after an earthquake. >> reporter: over the wet winter, bart experienced day after day of system meltdowns. traced to a built-in braking problem with its new fleet of the future train. when sensors detect a wheel slipping on wet rails, the emergency brakes kick in to slow the train down and prevent accidents. but the new fleet's emergency brakes also grind spots on the wheels unevenly causing what are called wheel flats, putting the entire train out of service.

>> the delays are par for the course at this point. i plan around it. >> reporter: while bart says the wet weather nightmare is largely over, unless until next winter, the braking problems aren't over with, because the emergency braking system will be called on to stop trains quickly to protect passengers in a significant earthquake. >> it sounds like bart has a wholesale problem. >> reporter: transportation consultant jerry coffin is a five decade veteran of the public transit sector. he says emergency braking shouldn't create its own emergency. >> you want the try to avoid that in a braking system. if they have a braking system that's got that problem, then they've got to weigh whether it makes sense to replace it. >> reporter: yet stopping the trains quickly is vital to bart providing a lifeline before and after a quake. >> earthquake, earthquake. >> reporter: to make sure, bart is relying on shake alert, an early warning system of hundreds of seismic sensors managed by the u.s. geological survey. it detects precursor p-waves

before anyone feels the shaking. according to usgs's robert degroot. bart hopes shaker will give at least ten seconds to automatically shut down trains. >> anything we do to eek out a fraction of a second is going to help because it will get them doing what they're doing sooner. >> reporter: under shake alert, speeds would be cut from 70 to 27 miles per hour using automatic normal braking. then operators will be instructed to deploy the emergency brakes to make a complete stop if necessary. >> it's a life safety issue. >> reporter: bart board member john mcpartland says the goal behind shake alert is to ensure bart will be up and running almost immediately. >> when the streets are down and there is rubble in the streets and bart is running, we will have that capabilities. >> reporter: but bart officials acknowledge if the emergency brakes damage all the wheels in their fleet, they could have a slow recovery. >> having wheel flats is not an ideal situation. >> reporter: bart hoped the train maker would fix the issue

when the agency stopped accepting new cars two years ago. but in the end, bart opted to renew shipments with the braking issues still unresolved. >> overall, the new fleet of the future trains are much more reliable than the legacy fleet, and we're confident in the new technology. >> as trade-offs go, it's worth a property. >> reporter: the flats due to emergency braking won't pose a safety risk, but riders may have to endure continue uncomfortable clanking from all the flat wheels. >> if you're in a post earthquake environment, we listen to the clunk buzz riders may have to face a repeat of the kind of delays that happened this winter as bart likely will have to slow speeds on its clunky trains to keep them rolling over the months will take to repair all the wheels. right now new cars make up just over half of bart's fleet. the glitch will pose a bigger

headache in two years when bart has phased out its old fleet. which has proven less vulnerable to damage from emergency braking. jaxon van derbeken, nbc bay area news. >> now, if you have a story for jaxon or anyone in our investigative unit, reach them through 888-996-tips or visit our website nbcbayarea.com/investigations. jeff ranieri is with us. talk about our big shift in the weather as of we're almost in friday. >> i can't wait. i know like a lot you have guys out there are ready for that friday to get here, ready for the weekend. and the heat is going to be on. this area of high pressure is going to expand across the west, not only warming us up tomorrow, but right into saturday. and it's about time. over three months of below average daytime high already this year, to be more specific, 95 days. let's get you more on the heat that's coming your way in the microclimate forecast. and you can see this even includes tomorrow morning.

after so many 30s and 40s this year, it's going to be so nice to start it off in the 50s. 51 right here in the peninsula. south bay at 52. a little bit of patchy fog near the coast in the bay. but that's going to be clearing out pretty quickly here. 52 in san francisco. also those low 50s in the east bay. we're on the path here for at least ten degrees of solid warming tomorrow. that's going to be good enough for 78 in cupertino. even 80 degrees. check it out, morgan hill in gilroy. right here for the east bay, also more 80s in antioch, concord, walnut creek. beautiful day in fremont by the bay, 76. not quite as warm near the coast or northern peninsula. we still have ocean breeze. 50s to 60s from half moon bay to daly city. but check this out. palo alto 75. san francisco 69 in the mission. and for the north bay, up to napa, 78. okay. besides the heat that's building in the forecast, i've also been telling you about the chance of maybe some thunderstorms here in

northern california by sunday and monday. now we'll still have that chance. but the best risk would be right here over the sierra and just to the north of us. however, some of that could develop here in the central valley right near tracy. so because of that, i'm still keeping a slight chance of thunderstorms on sunday. warmest day here in san francisco will be on saturday at 75. then we'll see plenty of 60s once we hit next week. so just in time for the weekend. check it out here for the inland valleys. up to 90 on saturday. 87 sunday. and lots of 80s as you roll through next week. all in all, warmest seven-day forecast we've seen this year. so, again, it's about time. over three months of below average temperatures. >> and where we should be. looking forward to it. hahappy fridayaylmost. than
