FIRE NEAR TESLA: A fire along Deer Creek Road near Tesla’s offices in the Stanford Research Park burned 0.8 acres of vegetation yesterday around 10 a.m., Palo Alto Battalion Chief William Dale said.
RAPE GANG PROBE: British Prime Minister Keir Starmer has ordered an inquiry into the scandal of gangs of men sexually grooming and raping girls in communities across England. The government has ignored the gangs since at least 2007 because, critics say, the perpetrators were primarily Pakistani Muslim men, and their prosecution would undermine the idea of a multicultural Britain.

SHERIFF ARRIVES — A screen grab from a surveillance camera shows San Mateo County Sheriff Christina Corpus arriving yesterday at the Government Center in Redwood City. On the second floor the civil grand jury has been meeting to decide whether to recommend her removal from office. But the Post couldn’t determine if Corpus testified before the jury yesterday. She wasn’t going to work, however, her office is on Bradford Street.
hearing officer, who reviewed evidence prepared by the county’s lawyers and Corpus’ response. The hearing officer picked by the supervisors, Probation Office Chief John Keene, met with Corpus and her lawyers on June 11, where he received their written response.
If Keene recommended Corpus’ removal, then the board will vote on Tuesday whether to accept that recommendation. A four-fifths vote is required to fire her. If two of the five supervisors hold out, she keeps her job.
Corpus can appeal the board’s decision by requesting a hearing before another hearing officer. If Corpus requests a hearing, the board will provide her with the option to select from three hearing officers. At that hearing, [See SHERIFF, page 22]
Bay pollution trial opens
BY BRADEN CARTWRIGHT Daily Post Staff Writer
The cities of Mountain View and Sunnyvale have gone to trial with an environmental group that sues agencies and individuals for allegedly polluting the Bay, and millions of dollars are at stake.
San Francisco Baykeeper alleges that Mountain View allowed sewage and polluted runoff to get into Ste-
vens Creek, and the city of Sunnyvale did the same for Calabazas Creek.
A trial started on June 10 in Judge Edward Davila’s chambers on the fifth floor of the federal courthouse in downtown San Jose.
Witnesses have included environmental engineers, hydrologists and city employees who manage the sewers.
Baykeeper has brought five attor-
neys to the trial, and the cities have brought six led by attorney Melissa Thorme, court records show.
Baykeeper’s lawsuit claimed that Mountain View and Sunnyvale violated their 2015 permits from the State Water Resources Control Board.
Three members of the public turned in declarations saying they enjoy walking, biking and paddle board-

Diplomacy stalls in Iran-Israel war
Israel and Iran traded strikes a week into their war yesterday as President Trump weighed U.S. military involvement and key European officials met with Iran’s top diplomat in Geneva in a scramble to de-escalate the conflict.
But the first face-to-face meeting between Western and Iranian officials concluded after four hours with no sign of a breakthrough.
Bibi says Israel is in it ‘for as long as it takes’
To give diplomacy a chance, Trump said he would put off deciding for up to two weeks whether to join Israel’s air
campaign against Iran. U.S. participation would most likely involve strikes against Iran’s underground Fordo uranium enrichment facility, considered to be out of reach to all but America’s “bunker-buster” bombs.
Whether or not the U.S. joins, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Israel’s military operation in Iran

the detainees. The vandals overpowered the skeletal crew of National Guard soldiers, using improvised bombs made from M-80 firecrackers, nails and broken glass. Eventually about 100 law-enforcement officers arrived to put down the attempted jailbreak, but not before damage to the facility.
META’S AI QUEST: Meta approached artificial intelligence startup Perplexity AI about a potential takeover bid before ultimately investing $14.3 billion into Scale AI, CNBC reports. Perplexity walked away from the offer. Meta bought Scale in an attempt to catch up with AI leaders OpenAI and Google. OpenAI chief executive Sam Altman said that Meta offered his employees bonuses as high as $100 million if they’d come to work for Meta.
HOSTAGE RETURNS: Hundreds of cheering supporters, many waving Israeli flags and holding “welcome home” signs, lined the streets of Tenafly, N.J., to greet Edan Alexander, an American-born Israeli soldier who was released by Hamas in Gaza May 12 after 584 days in captivity. He was among the 251 people taken hostage in Hamas’ Oct. 7, 2023 attack on a outdoor concert in Israel.
ACTIVIST FREED: A federal judge yesterday ordered the release of pro-Palestinian activist and Columbia University graduate Mahmoud Khalil from an immigration detention center in Louisiana.
COMMANDMENTS IN SCHOOL: A panel of three federal appellate judges has ruled that a Louisiana law requiring the Ten Commandments to be posted in each of the state’s public school classrooms is unconstitutional. Law experts have long said they expect the Louisiana case to make its way to the Supreme Court, testing the conservative court on the issue of religion and government.

CHRISTINA CORPUS makes her way to the County Government Center in Redwood City in this surveillance camera photo. Upstairs a civil grand jury was considering whether to recommend her removal from office. But the Post couldn’t determine whether she testified before the jury, which meets in secret.
SHERIFF –
Corpus can decide whether it is open or closed to the public or media. She has said for several months now that she wants the opportunity to make her case — and such a hearing would give her the platform she has sought.
The key documents are all secret — both the county’s “Notice of Intent to Remove” that lays out the case for firing her, and her response.
The county says that the “Notice of Intent to Remove” reflects the results of an investigation by the law firm Keker, Van Nest & Peters LLP. The document is supported by 524 pages of evidence and 42 witness interviews, the county said. It concluded that the sheriff engaged in multiple acts of misconduct that, if true, would support removal from office, the county said.
Retired Judge LaDoris Cordell, who was hired by the supervisors to investigate the case, made more specific allegations in her report about Corpus and her chief-of-staff, Victor Aenlle. Cordell concluded the sheriff was engaged in nepotism, retaliation, intimidation, false arrest and making racial and homophobic slurs. And, on the day the Cordell report came out, Corpus ordered the arrest of the deputies union president on allegations that the District Attorney threw out.
Separately, the county civil grand jury is considering whether to recommend her removal from office. Such a recommendation would lead to a trial. Corpus’ attorneys revealed in court papers that she had been subpoenaed to testify before the civil grand jury.
quality under control and acknowledges even that might not be possible, Thorme said for the city.
Baykeeper’s attorney fees are “excessive and unreasonable, and would result in a windfall to multiple lawyers who billed huge amounts of time on this matter at excessive hourly rates,” said Thorme, who charges $415 per hour.
A $975-an-hour lawyer
In comparison, Baykeeper’s lead attorney Daniel Cooper charges $975 per hour. He said in a declaration that he worked 362 hours and would make $353,076 in the case, and his rate is justified by his 32 years of experience. Cooper said he worked on contingency, meaning he only gets paid if Baykeeper wins.
Baykeeper, a nonprofit based in Oakland, has filed more than 300 lawsuits against individuals, public agencies and private companies since 1993.
West Bay Sanitary District agreed to pay $1.4 million to Baykeeper in 2012 in order to avoid a consent decree that would have required continued oversight from the group.
The group also sued the city of Burlingame in 2008, the city of San Carlos in 2009 and the town of Hillsborough in 2008.
The nonprofit sued Valley Water in September 2022 for allegedly keeping its creeks too warm and too shallow for fish to survive.
TRIAL ––––-WAR ––––----
ing around Stevens Creek but haven’t been able to do so because of the discolored water and odor of raw sewage.
Baykeeper has asked a judge to fine the cities $56,460 per day for violations — totaling more than $250 million.
Baykeeper also asked for $1.4 million for its lawyers and $237,544 to pay its hydrologist Ian Wren, and that was before the case went to trial.
In response, the cities have cast doubt on Baykeeper’s water testing results and said they have followed their permits and taken steps to prevent pollution.
Mountain View’s latest permit gives the city until 2027 to get the water
would continue “for as long as it takes” to eliminate what he called the existential threat of Iran’s nuclear program and arsenal of ballistic missiles. Israel’s top general echoed the warning, saying the Israeli military was ready “for a prolonged campaign.”
As negotiations ended in Switzerland, European officials expressed hope for future negotiations. Iran’s top diplomat said he was open to further dialogue.
But Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi emphasized that Tehran had no interest in negotiating with the U.S. while Israel continued attacking.
“Iran is ready to consider diplomacy if aggression ceases and the aggressor is held accountable for its committed crimes,” he told reporters.
No date was set for the next round of talks. Iran previously agreed to limit its

uranium enrichment and allow international inspectors access to its nuclear sites under a 2015 deal with the U.S., France, China, Russia, Britain and Germany in exchange for sanctions relief. But after Trump pulled the U.S. unilaterally out of the deal during his first term, Iran began enriching uranium up to 60% — a short, technical step away from weapons-grade levels of 90% — and restricting access to its nuclear facilities.
Iran hits Haifa
After Israel said its warplanes hit dozens of military targets across Iran, including missile-manufacturing facilities, an Iranian missile crashed into Israel’s northern city of Haifa, sending plumes of smoke billowing over the Mediterranean port and wounding at least 31 people.
The war between Israel and Iran erupted June 13, with Israeli airstrikes targeting nuclear and military sites, top generals and nuclear scientists. At least 657 people, including 263 civilians, have been killed in Iran and more than 2,000 wounded, according to a Washington-based Iranian human rights group.
Iran has retaliated by firing 450 missiles and 1,000 drones at Israel, according to Israeli army estimates. Most have been shot down by Israel’s multitiered air defenses, but at least 24 people in Israel have been killed and hundreds wounded.
Worries rise over the perils of attacking Iran’s nuclear reactors
Warning about radioactivity
Addressing an emergency meeting of the U.N. Security Council, the head of the International Atomic Energy Agency warned against attacks on Iran’s nuclear reactors, particularly its only commercial nuclear power plant in the southern city of Bushehr.
“I want to make it absolutely and completely clear: In case of an attack on the Bushehr nuclear power plant, a direct hit would result in a very high release of radioactivity to the environment,” said Rafael Grossi, chief of the U.N. nuclear watchdog. “This is the nuclear site in Iran where the consequences could be most serious.”
