>> in this room, erin burnett, outfront starts right now >> out from >> next breaking news, >> trump announcing he >> will >> testify at his first >> criminal trial, which >> begins >> on monday. >> this as he threatens, >> quote, all hell will break loose on that debt. plus mike johnson showing up in mar-a-lago next to trump warning about election fraud in 2024 out front to fact check. the man who the trump campaign higher defined fraud in 2020. but he debunked every claim and kamala harris telling trump to stop the gaslighting when it comes to abortion. this as our kfile unveils the dramatic about-face gop candidates are taking on this issue. let's go out front but evening, i'm jim sciutto in for erin burnett outfront tonight, breaking news, trump to testify. the former

president announcing tonight that he will take the stand in his first criminal trial, which begins on monday to testify. you're trying >> yeah. i would test if i absolutely it's a scam testifying. i tell the truth. i mean, all i can do is tell the truth but the truth tonight is as of tonight, there are no more delays for trump, the judge in the new york hush money trial, just moments >> ago, rejected one of trump's final request, request to delay the trial this time, trump claiming the publicity surrounding the trial makes it impossible to begin on time judge juan merchan ruling the situation defendant finds himself in now is not new to him and at least in part of his own doing this as trump and his team are laser-focused on getting just one juror to be on his side. remember, it needs a unanimous decision or trump

trump is acquitted >> jury selection is largely luck. >> it depends who you get >> and an ominous warning tonight from trump on his website reading 72 hours until all hell breaks loose those words you see in all capital letters trump, adding. they want me in prison. paula reid is outfront live in washington paula trump. he will be in that courtroom on monday with the potential jurors. and tonight he says he could testify yeah, he says he could testify, but it remains to be seen if that actually becomes a reality. sources close to his legal team tell me, yes, that is something there are still exploring. but first of all, they have to cede this jury and we expect that this will take at least a week. but in talking to sources on both sides of this case, jen, it's really unclear how far into april or potentially made this process will go. here's how this is going to work each day. they'll have a pool of

approximately 100 jurors that they will whittle down each day until they can seat 12 jurors and six alternates. now, going into this process, the trump team feels that they're already at a disadvantage because of the makeup of the manhattan jury pool where they argue that there there is a strong anti-trump bias. but jim, as you know, there is a system in place. this system of jury selection is meant to weed out bias jurors with the trump team is not convinced that that is going to render a fair jury. now here's what they're going to do if they have 100 people, they're going to try to strike people four, cause, just allow people to raise their and if they have other or if they don't speak or understand english sufficiently or if they have such a blinding bias against the former president that they couldn't be impartial. now, tonight, the trump team is asking the judge to separate out those two groups, people who cannot do this because they are so biased, or people who have other logistical or other concerns. now, in a week of a lot of failed motions from the trump team, this is a legitimate requests and it's one where they could be successful gym. they want to be

able to say potentially, hey, this is how many people we lost because of bias. they're trying to preserve issues on appeal and i think we're going to see that throughout the process, they're going to be raising issues and making motions even if they know they won't be successful in the moment because they're trying to preserve their options for appeal. now, after they get rid of those folks for cause, then they will randomly select a group of about 18 people. those folks will face questions from defense attorneys, prosecutors, and the judge. then the two sides can use each of their ten preemptive strikes. now, again, unclear how how long this is going to take and this is the system that is designed to seat a fair jury for most defendants. but of course, you're not dealing with just any defendant >> had a defendant's certainly schooled in the art of delaying the process paula reid, thanks so much. i'd out front now, robert hirshhorn jury and trial consultant and ankush khardori. he's four former federal prosecutor. august, if i could begin with you. trump says tonight that he does plan to

testify in this case. of course, whether he shows up, we'll see is that a good idea? >> it's generally not. a, good idea for dependents to testify in their own defense and criminal cases. trump has done this in civil cases, of course, very recently, including the new york attorney general's civil business fraud trial, eugene carroll's second trial, and those did not go well for him. in fact, i think those efforts were counterproductive and probably made matters worse in front of the jury in the ag's case and excuse me eating carroll case. and the judge in the ag's case. so it's not a good idea, but maybe he'll do it. it's such a great point that based on that experience, which we saw play out just very recently, robert, how could trump's testimony in your view, impacted jury? >> jim, thanks for having me. well, look if he's really getting buried by the evidence in the case, he may not have a choice personally. i don't think he ever served himself well by testifying. he testified in the e jean carroll, the jury, let them up for a huge verdict and then in

the ag's case, remember one of the complaints he made is all i should have had a jury now that he does have jury, now that the king of continuance is finally going to have to face a jury now he saying that they can't be fair. you got to he's he's going to have his work cut out for him, but jim always gotta do is find one. we all got to remember that if you can get one juror sure. that doesn't vote for for guilty, then he's one anca sure. trump failed tonight and yet another attempt to delay the trial. in this case over pretrial publicity, but you did here palos reporting their more challenges from the president's legal team expected next week, some of that, as she explained, setting up for a possible appeal, but but i wonder is there anything you can think of that trump's team could do now to stop this case for moving forward even after it begins on monday nothing that would work or nothing that should work this trial should proceed on monday and go forward the request trump and his lawyers often try

in, the unusual things, including all of the efforts this week to try to prevent this trough and going forward, several of them were highly unusual and new to me. they all flopped so it wouldn't surprise me if he tries more of that. him and his lawyers, maybe i'm going to the supreme court after the trial has begun. i wouldn't expect that to work but i also wouldn't be surprised if they keep doing it robert. so monday trump is going to be face-to-face with these potential general jurors in that courtroom. he'll be there for jury selection. i wonder how could that impact what the potential jurors say, how they behave? i wonder if you've seen a parallel to this that might give us a sense of that yeah. >> well, he's the most famous person in the world. and when you've come face-to-face with somebody that's got that kind of charisma, that kind of power. it tends to be intimidating, it tends to be shocking, it tends to be exciting but here's the thing, jim as long as the judge says

to the jurors, look we don't want you to tell us what you think we want to hear. just tell us how you honestly think and feel about this case. this defendant that's the best chance at this judge is going to have for getting a fair jury, but make no mistake about it. he's going to lose the vast majority of the jurors either four hardship trial, they just can't serve that long, or because they've already formed an opinion about president or former president trump, or the case. so he's going to go through a bunch of jurors will know by the end of monday what the page looks like and how long it'll take to pick this journey that's a great point. >> we'll >> be watching for that first day. robert oncourse. thanks so much to both of you and out front now, former republican congressman ken buck of colorado, he just retired from congress before his term was over saying the dysfunction was worse than he ever saw more than nine years in washington, congressman, thanks so much for taking the time this evening. >> thanks for appreciate it.

>> i wonder what your view is of the politics of this first criminal trial, the hush money trial. there are some who say that, well, he will be seen as a victim of all this. but i wonder how politically damaging you think this could be because there will be some damaging evidence so before in that courtroom there will be damaging evidence, you know, a lot of people on the right of made up their mind. they're going to support them. a lot of people on the left. i've made up their mind. they won't support them. the key to me is the essence of this case has to do with donald trump having an extramarital affair they are paying a woman to have that affair and then paying that woman to not talk about the affair during the campaign for president in 2016, that will turn off a lot of republican evangelical, christian voters. and i think they will be hard pressed to support this president, regardless of whether they get whether he is convicted or not convicted, it's important to remind folks

of the essence of this case where where it began, as you did there, >> speaker johnson, as you know, he just stood next to trump at mar-lago and they spoke about, quote, unquote, election, integrity they did it amid an ongoing threat from congress so when marjorie taylor greene to oust johnson from office, trump, just asked, who he supports in this feud. i want to play his answer and get your thoughts it's not not an easy situation for any speaker i think he's doing a very good job. he's doing about as good as you're going to do and i'm sure that marjorie understands that she's a very good friend of mine and i know she has a lot of respect for the speaker by sand with the speaker. we've had a very good relationship kinship >> green, certainly not letting up thank she still doesn't support johnson and certainly the former president may calculate that having another few just doesn't support his own reelection chances are election chances in the fall.

do you think democrats may have to jump in to save the republican speaker? >> well, i think president trump gave speaker johnson about as good a, an endorsement as president trump could possibly give. and i think the message was directed at marjorie taylor greene and i think she got the message. if she does file this motion to vacate, i do think that there will be four or republicans who will vote to vacate the speaker. the only way the speaker keeps his job in that situation is if he gets a democrat votes, he may very well get those votes because he's putting a ukraine bill on the floor, funding bill on the floor and that is something that the democrats won and have signed a discharge petition for he has passed bipartisan spending legislation. i think there's a good chance that he will get democratic votes and survive this motion to vacate i'm a republican lawmakers want that ukraine aid bill to get a vote on the floor to

earlier today, green offered trump the following advice ahead of his meeting >> with johnson, have a listen to that he doesn't need to be worrying about what mike johnson's trying to talk him into and mike johnson's trying to saddle up to him because he's scared of a motion to vacate. mike johnson needs to do his job and li president at trump alone and let him win this election so she's mad at johnson as she referenced there, because she believes he might support more ukraine aid, which we should note a large majority of house >> members do support trump just said he is at least looking at it, may consider it if it's in the form of a given that you do you think greene, who you nickname moscow marjorie, which is catching on by the way do you think she could change her tune support more aid, but more importantly, that congress will, that'll get a vote on this and get this aid to ukraine as it needs it if this bill goes to the floor at absolutely passes. i think marjorie taylor greene should

follow her own advice. she has never been near president trump where she hasn't taken an opportunity to have a photo-op. and i believe that mike johnson as speaker of the united states house of representatives, has every right to visit with the presidential nominee from his party and come to some agreement. so that this president is running on the same platform that the republicans in the house are willing to pass congressman ken buck, appreciate you joining us today >> thank you. >> and i'll front next trump and house speaker mike johnson, pushing new and baseless conspiracy theories tonight about the 2024 election before a single vote has even been cast. we're going to fact check him line by line. it's important, plus vice president kamala harris just eviscerating trump accusing him of gaslighting the american public when it comes to abortion as are kfile is uncovering a growing number of republicans who are now frantically flip-flopping on that very

issue. and breaking news, the us is now moving assets into the middle east, additional ones as president biden warrants tonight, he expects iran to strike israel and sue anderson cooper 360 tonight at eight on cnn >> you know, i spent a lot of time thinking about dirt at three in the morning. and you're trying what people don't know, is that not all der, is the same. you need dirt with the right kind of nutrients look at this new organic soil from miracle gro, everybody should have it, it worked great for us. >> this is as good as gold in any garden. if people only knew that it really is about the dirt your dirt nerd huge turret nerd. i'm proud of it >> why choose asleep numbers, smart bad? >> can it keep me warm when i'm cold >> weight know, i'm always hot. >> we've never done that

three-to-one, three-to-one. today. >> sunday, a nitro space for stoma whole story with anderson cooper, the james webb telescope are we alone? were filed sending out things about the first galaxies that we never knew in a way, it's a time machine followed by the two part finale of space shuttle columbia, the final flight being an astronaut, it was always recall well, the calculator grass, humans are explores. i wish i could've done something differently. you can just make it better for those that follow sunday starting at eight on cnn >> breaking news with donald trump by his side embattled house speaker mike johnson, pushing a ban on non-us citizens voting in federal elections. this despite a law stating exactly thatlready lo on the books, johnson also claimed without evidence that democrats arwing migrants introducing a billhat wi h in

require proof of citizenship to vote it seems like common sense. i'm sure all o would agree. we only want us citizens to vote in us elections t there are some democrats who don't want to do th we believe that one of their design one othe reasons for is open border around the country, why would they do this? why would they allow this chaos? why the violence because they want to turn these people into voters? >> not really evidence to that johnson rushed down to mar-a-lago for this so-called election integrity press conference with trump. as he's fighting simply to keep the speaker's job out front now can block. he was hired by the trump campaign to investigate election fraud claims in 2020 and debunked each claim put in front of him. he's also the author of the new book disproven. also with me, stephen richer, he is the maricopa county recorder in arizona, one of the republicans who fought back against

trump's efforts to overturn the election, thanks to both of you for joining tonight and thanks for your candor throughout all this of course, thanks for having me. i appreciate it >> it's even firstly, you you oversee the largest county in arizona. that county that's stayed could very well decide who wins and loses the election. so i wonder what you say to the claims. you just heard there. >> well, i agree. as a matter of public policy and arizonans agree, and i think probably most americans agree that only united states citizens should be voting in elections, and that we should show documented proof of citizenship. but in arizona, we're already 99% of the way there. we require fire proof of citizenship to be able to vote a full ballot. we keep track of those who don't provide proof of citizenship and i think the problem with this is the implication that it had any impact on a path selection or that if not

passed, it would have an implication for a future election. and there's just no data or evidence to support that >> can to that point, johnson warned that the number of non-citizens voting could very well impact the election results in november, i want to play that and then get to some facts. >> there's so many millions of illegals in the country that if only one out of 100 voted, they would cast potentially hundreds of thousands of votes in the election. that could turn an election this, this could be a tight election and in our congressional races around the country, it could if there are enough votes, effective presidential election. so that's why house republicans are going to act >> i mean, the fact is these things have been investigated over many, many years single-digit cases of this over many millions of votes. you investigated non-citizens voting in 2020 for the trump camp pain in your work, did you find any evidence of large

numbers of non-citizens voting in the 2020 election >> we didn't dent, in fact, in arizona, i was provided a list of 2,500 voters who somebody somewhere suspected were noncitizens. and i was asked to determine if i could but whether they were citizens are not it's extremely difficult to do. in fact, it's impossible to do in a way that would provide evidence that was stand up in court which makes all of these claims so remarkable to me because like so many claims of voter fraud that i did debunk, there was no foundation. no, there's no foundation of fact behind them. they were more for someone's fit. someone suspected that something bad has happened. what would happen, but they didn't have any direct proof that something bad was actually happening. >> yeah, my four years later, we're still talking about it. steven. >> here are some of what donald trump >> said just before johnson spoke we have an election problem and that's really what we're here to talk about today. we want to also mentioned election interference, and we want to

talk about election integrity the factors again, as we keep saying those claims, they've been debunked for years. >> how worried are >> you that trump is already planting the seeds to say that there was fraud in the 2024 election, much as he did in 2020 and before a single ballot has even been cast. >> yeah, it's disappointing. i would say let's have the election first and then you might surprise yourself and see how things go. >> but to the point of >> arizona again we do require documented proof of citizenship for a full ballot and over 99% of arizonans have done that and, that's true of many other states. and also we have to remember what the original law is, the original policy, it is against the law in every single state in the country to vote in the federal election. if you are not a united states citizen that seems like a poor cost-benefit analysis to be an additional one vote in over 3 million votes cast in the

arizona presidential election and run the risk of a felony that would then lead to deportation i i'm not seeing that. >> yeah. listen, it's such a good point to make can are marshall cohen reported today that johnson was one of trump's biggest fighters and trying to overturn the election in the days back in 2020. here, just a few examples of the basics basis claims that he pushed at the time >> but i think all of us know intuitively that they were there was a lot of nus about this election day. the allegations about these voting machines, some of them being rigueur with a software by dominion but there's a lot of merit to that. they know that in georgia it really was rigueur. i'm saying that this system is set up for massive fraud and error and irregularity just not true according to record, by the way, dominion had to pay. there were a lot of money had to be paid to dominion for spreading false claims like that. he went on to say, in that same interview that the problem with

every election fraud case is that they are notoriously difficult to prove to you as someone who debunked each and every election in fraud claim made by the trump campaign and brought to you what do you say to speed speaker johnson now >> yeah, i am somebody who has delivered actual hard evidence of some voter fraud. i anticipated some deceased votes that were cast before they were cast. i've identified fight confirmed duplicate voters where individuals have voted in two different states i've delivered evidence that stands up in court speaker johnson is an attorney and he should know better. he should understand that hearsay evidence, which is what he's talking about. does not stand up in court and it should not ever rise the level that it is right now where we're impugning our election integrity and our infrastructure based on hearsay, which is what it's doing. >> allison, by the way, that's what happened. trump made a lot of claims back in 2020. and

when those claims went to court, they didn't stand up in court to both you gentlemen. you did the work. you spoke the truth. >> thanks so much for joining us tonight >> thank much. >> i'll next, trump's pivot on abortion is creating major headaches for republicans who wants said this for me, there's no compromise on abortion. >> i would move to have a national ban on abortion >> but as our kfile has uncovered, that is not what they are saying. now, quite the opposite. plus, i'm going to speak to a democratic strategist who predicted all the talking heads were wrong about a quote red wave in 2022, he was right now, he is confident that biden is going to win >> blue carbon. >> let's see an infill sunday, april 21 at nine mu from real two.com, real view maps now feature precise heat, wind, and

something differently. what i can undo that you can just make it better, are those that follow space shuttle columbia, the final flight, two part finale, sunday at nine on cnn >> tonight. enough with the gaslighting, those are the words of vice president kamala harris just moments ago if this rating, former president donald trump at a rally in arizona >> now try us to believe he will not sign a national ban enough with the gas lighting, enough with the gaslighting >> this as trump himself tonight refused to answer if he is pro-choice or pro-life >> you have both things. yourself pro-choice and pro-life, which one >> but you know exactly which one it is? >> while trump has switched his position on this 15 times, cnn's kfile finding example

after example of republicans following trump's lead downplaying past anti-abortion stances or switching them completely out front. now, andrew kaczynski, senior editor i've cnn's kfile, so let's begin with a couple of examples of well-known names running for statewide office. >> yes. we examine more of the a dozen competitive races around the country at various levels. house, senate, governor, and what we found repeatedly was republicans shifting their positions or i'm playing them in some cases, these changes have been settled. but in other cases, they've been rather overt with candidates reversing course on supporting outright abortion bans, or even denying they ever opposed it. i now want to walk our viewers through some of them. let's take kari lake she is running for senate in arizona now the arizona supreme court this week ruled that an 18 64 law banning nearly all

abortions in the state must be upheld. but back when link ran a failed bid for governor in 2020, to listen to what she said about the law i'm incredibly thrilled that we are going to have a great law that's already on the books. i believe it's ars 13, so it will prohibit abortion in arizona except to save the life of a mother. and i think we're going to be setting the paving the way and setting course for other states to follow >> so now like i said, she opposes that near-total ban on abortion hears what her campaign told us saying that carry is personally pro-life. her position on a federal vantage clear. she opposes it, just like president trump kari is opposed to the territorial law and is calling on the state legislature to fix the issue. her focus is on saving babies and helping women through protecting ivf baby bonuses, child tax credit, and paid

family leave. so she now says she opposes that territorial ban. even though she previously did say she supported that she even knew the state law exact statue. so that is just a complete one at on the issue. now there's also mark robinson. he's a lieutenant governor in north carolina and he's now running to be governor now he repeatedly backed a ban on abortion without exceptions for rape or incest before the dobbs decision. and one let's regularly labeled abortion as a murder and genocide and even compared the anti-abortion movement to the abolition movement to end slavery slavery listened to robinson at one event in july 2020 for me, there's no compromise on abortion it makes no difference to me why or how that child ended up in that wound? >> flash forward to today, jim and robinson has said he avoids using what he calls, quote, the a word entirely and he denies

his past support for bans without exceptions with his campaign telling cnn, quote, as governor, he would sign a heartbeat. bill with exceptions for rape incest. and when the life of the mother is in danger. >> while those previous answers are on tape. you also looked at congressional races and found this is happening all over the country jim, that's right. and there might not be a clear example in all of the ones we looked through, then joe can't he is the republican running for congress in washington in a swing state, swing seat. look at what he said in july 2022, he said, i would move to have a national ban on abortions. now, look at this comment he made on twitter in january. he said posted dobbs decision. it's a state issue. i don't support a national ban on abortion, so just he said one thing and he said the complete opposite and

something that's really interesting about all this. jim is we're seeing a lot of these candidates and as you saw kant right there as a great example, who are citing state laws in trying to get around discussed discussing this issue. but in theory, they are getting elected to positions where they could change the law. trump has said he won't sign a national abortion ban, but he previously signed onto a 20 week ban at the federal level. so it's really going to be up to voters now to see whether they want to take candidates at their words on these changes. >> and you put the record before them. andrew kaczynski, thanks so much >> for now >> democratic strategists, simon rosenberg, he's been involved in presidential campaigns for the last 36 years. crews and confidently predicts that president biden will beat donald trump in 2024. he has gone against conventional wisdom before it was right, we should know pretty thing republicans would not get that much talked about red wave in 2022. of course, they did not, simon, thanks so much for joining today.

>> it's great to be here. jim so as you know, vice president harris and arizona just hammering republicans on that anti-abortion law there, 160 year-old anti-abortion law. and as we just heard in that kfile report, republicans are now scrambling to change their positions that they clearly see of vulnerability. here, is this going to be the issue democrats win on in your view >> listen, i think the election change this week. i think it's been a very, very bad week for the republican party because it's a confirmation that bagua, the threat that maga poses to fundamental rights and liberties in the united states is ongoing. it's not something that happened before >> it's growing boeing and it's becoming even more dangerous i mean, millions of women in arizona and florida in the next few weeks are going to lose fundamental rights and liberties that women have had here in the united states for over 50 years. and is common throughout the modern world. and so, if you were scared of maga in 2018 and 20202022 in

2023, when democrats won all these elections all across the country, maga 2024, is even more dangerous and scary iteration of maga. and so i think it's going to be, this is going to reinforce i think the extremism of the republican party in a way that's going to be very damaging to them in the selection. >> i suppose you could look at some of those reversals from republicans it was a sign that they see that, as well. you say president biden is being underestimated, right now and you point to some new poll numbers, including this one right here. the ipsos reuters poll has biden leaving trump 4012, 37% still within the margin of error. but you're confident things you're going to swing. biden's way, tell us why >> yeah. so my basic take on the election as that joe biden is a good president. the country is better off. he's got a very strong case for reelection. the democratic party is strong unified, raising tons of money, winning elections all across the country. and the republicans have trump, who i think is the ugliest political figure that we've seen in modern times. and i think that everything that we need to do to win is

within the normal bounds. what a political party has to be able to do in a campaign. i think making trump look like a serious candidate for president again, is going to be very difficult. i think he's far more degraded than he was. i think his performance on the stump is far weaker than it was in 2020. he's got all the baggage from the trials and all the crimes that he committed in recent years and his own agenda is far more extreme. i want to say one thing about abortion here and what the republicans are trying to do by claiming that they're going to let it go back to the states when you say that, then you're embracing idaho's law which is has no exceptions for rape or incest or anything else you're embracing six-week abortion bans. you're embracing and valid the most extreme abortion positions in the country. they think that's a safe haven for them. it's actually an endorsement of the most extreme abortion restrictions in the country. and so i do think that the republicans now i my own view is that what's happening in the polling, and i think any of us, including those of us, those in the campaign, believed that what would happen in the election as that and as the

general election began and it became clear that it was biden versus trump. and the buyer campaign turned on that biden would start to gain in the polls. and that's what you're seeing right now. we've got a long way to go, but i would much rather be austin them seven months out. >> i'm in rosenberg. thanks so much. >> thank you, jim >> out for our next a cnn exclusive. we travel to the southern border with mexican authorities who tonight are growing impatient with us officials plus breaking news. the us on high alert as president biden says, he now expects iran to strike israel and sue. so what might such an attack look like >> this source, but kaitlan collins tonight at nine >> doug, hello, ghostbusters >> it's duck >> of doggedly moon. we help people customize and save hundreds on car insurance with liberty mutual anyway, we got a bit of a situation sure. i can

>> tonight as pressure mounts for president biden to take action at the southern border, former president trump outlandishly claims that millions of migrants are entering the country from prisons they come from jails and prisons they come from mental institutions and insane asylums. they've taken the gang members, the leaders, and the members and they've deposited them very nicely. into the united states of america >> similar to what he said back in 2016, frankly, there is zero evidence to support those claims. we should note. it comes as are david culver got unprecedented access to mexican officials. who are they say growing impatient with their us counterparts. david culver is out front you can see behind me here, there's a huge gap in the wall and this is where mexican officials tell us that a lot of the smugglers are either directing or bringing some of the migrants to so that

they can easily crossed which makes these rugged bank wrote the preferred and profitable routes for cartel backed migrant smugglers we're about an hour east of t1a driving with mexican migration officials along the us-mexico border but we detour after learning a group of migrants has been rescued as officials hearsay hey, maybe we pull up and find about a dozen folks who described to me there were attempts to claim asylum in the and he said he tried to cross, but mexican officials stopped him from being able to go. >> that's big does mexico is now stepping up its efforts to stop migrants from crossing illegally into the us. >> we don't know if you've >> wasn't following requests from the biden administration. next goes now, pouring resources like the national guard and mexican army in to help patrol and detain migrants like these eventually transporting them the southern mexico, where we separate them by nationalities and then from

them, we determine the deportation process. >> what's happening here goes beyond stepped up patrols in recent months, mexican officials have built base camps, deploying troops to some of the most popular illegal crossings. thanks >> hey, smugglers, van are there several of these vehicles just left abandoned and like seven vehicles in total in this area, the area as we pull up, we realized we've been here before. we've seen so many people across through this property this right here at this spot late last year, we met us residents fed up with migrants coming through their land. >> they can come to the front door. >> are cameras captured hundreds each day and night >> that has >> stopped in recent weeks and it stopped primarily because of what we're seeing on the mexico side of things. this is a remote base on the border you've got mexican immigration officials. you've got national guard, and you've got mexican army who are here 24/7.

>> we have our fridge, microwave coffee every you have moved resources to live 24/7 on the border. why is this important for mexico to be doing that? >> we want to prevent migrants to get in touch with the criminal groups. >> the number of migrant encounters reported by us border patrol appears to reflect the impact of mexico his actions, dropping 42% from december to january alone. and seeming this stay low >> but officials warn cartels >> and they're smugglers frequently adjust their tactics and keep close watch. they're watching us right now. they see >> when we are patrolling and when we leave us pod, it's a crisis that has also sparked uneasiness for mexican residents >> it's gotten >> so frustrating for these folks in particular that the community got together, wrote a letter to their governor petitioning for more resources and for that reason that you have where you can see right here members of the mexican

national guard for now patrolling neighborhoods like this one to keep migrants from coming through the gate because i've got to pass 30s here, urge migrants to use the us is cbp one app rather than to risk crossing with smugglers mexican officials at this location even help pre-screen up to 500 migrants daily for the us asylum interew pross. he is in communication with us ofcials,ut on e otr si, and they're setting documents back i can forth to make sure that they have the right information. >> while this is a more >> orderly way to claim asylum, it can take awhile to get an appointment martha gilad says, is day. d five mohs for >> he didn't that i had made >> thousand so i asked why they didn't go through the smuggling route, which so many choose to do. my mockup and she said that for one, it costs an

extreme amount of money and the other aspect of it for her was they wanted to be able to enter legally through the appointment tried to build a better future there >> the road ahead is >> uncertain for both the migrants hand for those protecting the border, we see that firsthand as we leave the remote border camps the reason we've stopped and pulled over is because there are these spikes that we've noticed all along the different dirt roadways that take us to the border wall evidence of a smuggler's desperate attempt to salvage their profits. >> there >> are dozens, if not hundreds, of these >> and while it slows them down momentarily, for now, they forge ahead and eir efforts to curb the flow of a migrant crisis that's consuming resources on both sides of the border they've a great reporting as we saw on the story, mexican officials are expanding efforts to stem them. look flow of migrants into the us. we're seeing some effect in

the numbers there. as you noted, how could us politics derail those efforts? >> i think the biggest threat to this bolstered support, which is as you're seeing, actually helping lower than numbers of migrants crossing illegally into the us comes at the shifting of policies and that's policies on immigration matters that not only come at the federal level here in the, but also at the state level. so it makes you gets increasingly frustrated when they see policies come out of states like texas or iowa and for them, that adds domestic pressures that during an election year, not only in the, but also in mexico could cause them to have to then redirect those efforts, so to speak, and move those resources. al tawam. so if they feel like it's just going to add more problems on the mexico side of things. they'll quickly abandon this added effort and put those national guards and mexican military elsewhere >> david culver. thanks so much

military assets. one source says iran is readying as many as 100 cruise missiles. this comes as president biden says, he expects iran to attack israel, quote sooner rather than later, the us and the entire mideast is bracing for retaliation after multiple iranian officials were killed in an airstrike in syria, which iran blamed on israel let's marquardt is out front tonight and alex, the president, says he expects an imminent attack from iran based on us intelligence assessment what when could this happen? and what might it look like >> well, jim, the time-frame we're hearing from the president there that echoes what we've been hearing four days from sources and experts that this is likely something that is imminent that could happen coming hours and days, but what this looks like, what happens and where those are the million-dollar questions we have some worrying new reporting from our colleagues, oren liebermann, natasha bertrand, that just came in that us intelligence is seeing military assets being moved around by iran specifically drones and cruise missiles. one

source saying that they're reading as many as 100 cruise missiles that can mean a number of different things. they're posturing, they're trying to deter iran. but it or deter israel, but it could also mean that they're preparing an attack from iranian soil that would be the first time during this war. >> that would be a >> very significant move by iran. but there are a number of different scenarios that we could see. we've also heard intelligence officials and experts talking about the possibility of proxy groups in neighboring countries carrying out waves of attacks using rockets, missiles, drones against military targets inside israel. because this is a retaliation against an alleged diplomatic post. iran could carry out attacks against israeli embassies around the world one thing we do not expect to happen, jim, is around going after us targets. that is something that the us has warned against and but, but the us very much is helping israel prepare for what may come saying that they are prepared to help israel intercept anything that is

incoming into israel and the top us general for the middle east general erik kurilla. he's been in israel for several days preparing for this variety of scenarios. >> no question. and some of those assets being moved into the region are specifically for that task of potentially shooting down anything incoming. just briefly, alex, the us and around have been communicating directly and indirectly to what end? >> well, both public and private messages from iran to the united states, essentially saying stay out of it, that is between us and israel. the us has responded saying that you should not go after us targets and don't escalate the situation. and that is a message that iran has been getting from a number of different corners from the europeans, from the arabs to what extent they will listen remains to be seen we could expect back to a very calculated but very significant retaliation by iran. jim no question. we know all eyes are watching right now. alex marquardt. thanks so much for joining. thanks so much. all of you for joining us tonight on outfront ac30, 60 starts now
