breaking news alerts and live stream updates. >> developing news is san francisco deputy sheriff's union is now calling on the national guard to step in after a series of attacks at two san francisco jails. abc seven news reporter gloria rodriguez live in studio and gloria. this incident led to a jail lockdown over the weekend . >> that's right. kumasi, the jails website says visits to inmates are canceled through today. the sheriff's office says the jail assaults are under investigation, but says the national guard is not the answer. escalating, escalating violence has been reported at san francisco county jails on seventh street in san francisco and in san bruno. ken loma is the president of the san francisco deputy sheriffs association that represents deputies many of whom work inside the jails. and he sent a letter to san francisco sheriff paul miyamoto calling for the help of the california national guard into low staffing levels can be addressed, he says. a staffing problem is not new, but

that it has never been this low. >> it's a scary time. i mean, we've had nine attacks in three weeks on deputies, there's been prisoner fights, there's been civilian staff injured. this is a really violent time. >> the san francisco sheriff's office released a statement on sunday saying, we believe that our current internal response strategies will immediately address the increase in assaults on our members. the statement went on to say, we understand that the dsa also ties the recent incidents into low staffing levels and has called for immediate staffing, and i believe that we are going to be going to a special report right now. so we're going to donald trump just arrived at the courthouse in lower manhattan for the start of his criminal trial here in new york city. >> trump is charged with 34 felony counts of falsifying business records, which include allegedly concealing a hush payment to adult film actress stormy daniels just days before the 2016 election. he is the first president, past or present

, to ever stand trial, and this is the first of four cases for trump and his legal team. trump is trying to juggle his legal battles at the same time he is running for president. i want to get right to abc's aaron katersky who is outside of the courthouse for us in lower manhattan, and aaron of course, we've been talking about how this is unprecedented, but just give us a sense of what you're seeing out there, what you're witnessing on the streets in manhattan, traffic was briefly halted. >> lindsay, pedestrian stopped in their tracks on the sidewalk as former president trump's motorcade pulled up. and he entered this courthouse to both cheers and boos from a small group of protesters gathered outside. helicopters flying overhead, he is, after all, a former president and the republican nominee in 2024. so the security is extra. everything about this is extra. on one hand, a criminal defendant going inside this courthouse to stand trial is nothing new. this courthouse has seen all manner of mobsters and murderers, but the country has

never seen anything like this. a former american president on trial as a criminal defendant, trump is now headed up to the 15th floor of the courthouse, where he's going to enter a rather drab, dreary room. and that's where he's going to be spending most of his time, potentially for the next couple of months, seeking the white house from the 15th floor of this courthouse that he has used to his political advantage. although the consequences here are certainly potentially dire because, lindsay, these charges, if he's convicted of them and he denies them, could land him in prison for up to four years. >> and of course, we just saw moments ago him leaving trump tower before making that trek downtown to the courthouse. i know you've talked about before, prospective jurors are even brought in today. >> the judge may start with a brief hearing. what would that be about? >> this would be about the potential for former president

trump decides to testify. if that happens. and he said he's thinking about it, the prosecutors would want to ask him all manner of potentially embarrassing questions about his sex life, about civil cases where he's been held liable for sexual assault and defamation, of eugene carol of civil business fraud. and the defense wants the judge to set limits on what prosecutors could ask. this is called a sandoval hearing. it's common in new york state court when a defendant is thinking of taking the stand in his own defense, and it may proceed the start of jury selection. but once that gets underway, prospective jurors carrying their jury summons who have been through security are going to walk into that courtroom, see the former president and wonder whether they'll be picked to sit in judgment of him. >> and aaron, before we let you go, jury selection expected to last. how long? >> could be up to two weeks if necessary. the potential jurors are being asked 42 questions to weed out any potential bias. the

lawyers here know everybody in that room has heard of donald trump. the question is whether their view of him can get in the way or not, of being fair and impartial. lindsay aaron katersky for us want to now bring in our trial attorney and abc legal contributor, mr. brian buchmeyer. >> brian, give us a sense of how difficult it's going to be to select a jury in this case, extremely difficult, but the judge has created some parameters to try to make that easier. >> ultimately, we're going to find someone who doesn't have a bias, one way or another, but they may know about the president, about this case, but they're willing to put that aside, to listen to only the evidence and information that both sides present, to ultimately give a verdict, whether it be guilty, not guilty, or, worst case scenario, potentially a hung jury. >> so many people will be watching brian buchmeyer, we appreciate your expertise here. and our coverage continues on abc news live and abc news.com. >> we'll have complete details on world news tonight with david muir. for now i'm linsey davis in new york. have a good day. >> this has been a special report from abc.

>> i mean it is historic. it's the first criminal trial of a former president ever happened. >> yes. and this is the first of four trials that his legal team is working on. this one in particular, in reference to falsified documents and connection to hush money payments to adult film star stormy daniels. so this is just really the beginning of it. jury selection could take up to two weeks. there are 500 potential jurors that we're talking about. they're going through a series of questions to kind of determine who will potentially sit on that jury, and he has to be there every day, and they're going to be meeting four days a week, which means that he can't be campaigning while this is happening. >> so we'll see what effect, if

deadline to get your taxes filed with the irs. amanda is at the live desk with some tips for those who might be a bit behind this morning. amanda. yeah, kumasi. >> if you've procrastinated on filing this year, don't worry, you still have time to file your 2023 taxes. in fact, you have until midnight tonight to either file your taxes or file an extension. payments are still due today. filing an extension is just buying more time to get the paperwork in, not additional time to pay what you might owe. penalties and interest still apply to late payments if you owed last year, and your income and your tax situation is basically the same, you owe this year.

>> so here's what you do. go to irs.gov. make a payment, whatever payment it was last year, the irs will issue most refunds within 21 days or less. >> if you file a laconically with direct deposit, you can check the status of your refund on irs.gov with the where's my refund tool. this year, the irs says taxpayers who needed help this year got it quicker with wait times over the phone. cut to just three minutes. the average refund is about $3,000, up about $123 from last year. two important new credits you might be able to claim this year. impact used electric electric vehicle buyers and expanded home energy savings. we have information about both credits on our website abc seven news.com. back to you at the desk kumasi. >> thanks, amanda. today is the last day verizon wireless users can sign up for money from a settlement. the funds are for customers who use verizon services. between january of 2016 and november of last year,

schools to shut down. the guidelines are supposed to make sure closures don't hurt vulnerable students. the district is in negotiations with several unions and wants to give raises. they can't do that without budget cuts and consolidating schools could free up money. >> there is a lack of teachers across the district, so our principals are having to do 2 to 3 times the amount of work to get to keep our schools running and keep our keep our students learning. >> oyewusi is not expected to share a list of potential campus closures until the fall. >> the pricey public toilet for san francisco's noe valley opens next weekend. the plan for the toilet generated a lot of pushback, with a price tag of $1.7 million. well, then vendors agreed to donate the restroom, bringing that price down dramatically. noe valley will hold a grand opening celebration for the toilet next tuesday. it is a leap for all robot kind. the robot is built to jump in
