food assistance and child care aid, as well as tax credits for low income young children and foster youth. so there's a lot in there to unpack. and i know in the coming days they're going to be a lot of people who are going to have some statements. yeah. >> and what's been the reaction so far to his proposal? >> well, one of the ones that i would like to highlight is actually csu, because the chancellor put out a statement saying that this budget actually takes $75 million out of their coffers. that is something which they say they help middle lower income students, and they say those are the people that should be helped. >> yeah, a lot of tough decisions to be made. jana katsuyama. thank you. labor unions are also weighing in on this budget. an executive board member of seiu california saying in part, quote, we cannot disinvest from our state government by making permanent workforce cuts that will result in higher turnover and compromise the services the public relies on a bay area mother, originally from mexico, is facing deportation today. >> immigrants rights groups rallied outside the senator office of laphonza butler in san

francisco, calling on the senator to step in and help keep florizel. liborio in the u.s, organizers say she was arrested for returning to the u.s. after being deported. they say she came back because she feared for her safety in mexico. liborio has three children here in the u.s, but because she had a previous deportation order, ice, basically issues a reinstatement order. and so a reinstatement order has severe consequences because it prevents people like florizel who have experienced harm from applying for relief, like asylum. >> the rally is significant because may 10th is mother's day in mexico today. the group says it wants senator butler to urge ice to withdraw the reinstatement order in this case and allow the woman to plead her case in the courtroom and stay here in the u.s. target is facing controversy again this year over the retailer's pride month policies. >> last year, the big box giant took heat for displaying pride merchandise, so the company is now deciding to remove the

>> they are rather choosing a middle position, right? they're trying to play it safe. you know they are still going to sell certain things in certain stores, but not in some other stores, she says. >> ultimately, the company is going to have to pick a side. >> lots of people will still continue to shop from target, but ultimately, given the current situation of the world where we're all divided and we would like to know, you know who, who, who is who, and you know which company is standing for what some target shoppers say they'll continue shopping here, even though they'd prefer the company take a firm stand supporting lgbtq rights. >> i definitely disapprove, but it would be hard not to use this store because we have a pharmacy here. there are things, there are electronics. we can't get here in the castro, shoppers say they'll take their business elsewhere. >> as an lgbtq+ consumer, i can spend my dollars where i'm supported, so i have not supported a target. there are plenty of other places i can

purchase. same merchandise may be cheaper, may be better. >> and pride begins in june. we are hearing that about half of target's locations will be carrying pride themed merchandise. that pride themed merchandise will also be available online. we're live in san francisco, christien kafton ktvu fox two news. >> all right, christian, thank you. >> two people are being treated at the hospital following a fire at a senior housing complex in san francisco's japantown. firefighters responded around 1045 this morning to reports of the fire at the building on fillmore street between sutter and post streets. this started in a unit on the third floor and extended to the fourth floor. the fire department says firefighters evacuated more than 100 elderly residents from that building. many of them had trouble walking on their own. we don't yet know the conditions of the two people injured. the cause of the fire is under investigation. in oakland's police department welcomes a dozen new officers coming up at 530. how the rookies are adding to opd's diverse culture. >> also ahead, a man who lost

below the highest level of extreme. solar storms are increasingly important as this and next year will be the peak activity of the 11 year solar cycle. now. right now, this active sunspot is so big you can see it using your solar eclipse glasses. we shot this on a sun protected camera at 124,000 miles long. this is one of the biggest sunspots ever seen. hazards to earthlings can come when the highly charged solar energy shockwaves hit earth's electrically charged layer. >> they can take out satellites, they can disrupt communications and in extreme events, can even disrupt power grids on earth's surface. >> way back in 1989, there was a major power outage, that affected the northeast. and that was due to the effect of a solar storm. >> for many people, the wi-fi that they use in their homes, again, dependent on satellites, even migratory birds and bees that rely on the earth's magnetic fields to navigate can

be affected. >> the current solar wave intensity is rising and will be at its peak on saturday. what might happen to grids, satellites and other technologies is unclear. these events are sufficiently rare that they have not. >> we haven't had the chance to test a lot of our infrastructure against this kind of activity. >> it's also possible that the aurora borealis, the northern lights, could extend as far south as the la basin in the time that i've lived here, which is almost 20 years, this is the best kind of prognosis i've ever seen for being able to see something. if it does appear the best viewing times would be from 10 p.m. friday night until 2 a.m. saturday. from this light pollution map, you'll see the best viewing places are very dark, such as the delta west marin, north of santa rosa, or the central valley east of san jose. unless mother nature puts on a really big show, most likely you will see it in the lower northern sky, a pinkish sky looking like it's coming

from the ground. and so 730 to 1030 tonight, chabot space and science center, or as i say, find yourself a really dark spot somewhere remote. and if there is an aurora, you'll be able to actually see it. and we're hoping that that will happen. there's no guarantee, because a lot of science has to happen before that. does, very common up north, but not so common down here. tom vacar, ktvu, fox two news. >> well, tom, these earthlings don't get off until, midnight tonight, so it'll be our best bet. we're hoping for clear skies that we can see some of those northern lights. tom vacar. thank you. very good. >> oh my goodness, greg, you just nailed it. all of you working the 11:00 show tonight. when you get off, that's your best bet in. tom explained it perfectly. in fact, we put it in writing for you. so if you're going to be heading on out tonight, overnight between 1 a.m. and 4 a.m, is your best bet . away from the city, bright

lights go east, go north, go south. but get away from the bright lights and then again you're going to see this warm glow right above the horizon. tonight, i believe, will be the best night you have a secondary chance or opportunity tomorrow night, but we're going to see the influx of a faint layer of fog pushing in right now, not a cloud in the sky. look it out towards the south bay from monument peak in the santa clara valley, where currently the air temperatures 85 degrees, when typically we should be in the low 70s 81 degrees at this hour in novato and nicasio, it's under 90. in santa rosa, but it is 94. in napa, 90 fairfield, 91 in creek. and it's the first time this year we have had 90 degree temperatures reported around the bay area. haven't seen that since last autumn. and these temperatures, however, are still cooler around the central bay and the peninsula, but warmer by a good five degrees. and many of our east bay neighborhoods high pressure key component right here where you see that clear spot. that's
