[ ♪♪ ] cedar you thank you guys, good afternoon, i'm martha maccallum and this is the story and what a story it is. dramatic new video shot by fox cameras earlier today -- look at this! federal agents taking arrests out of the city hall where it suspected migrant squatters were living in this neighbourhood, they were discovered last day, your member of the origins of the story. six of them were free to initially under the nobel laws. could not hold them, right? can do that in new york. they face charges after guns and bags of drugs were found in the basement. you see the images of water they confiscated on the right side of the screen, the also found a 70 no child inside of that home. not clear whose child it is. one of the suspect that was frayed with no bail, no bail reminder, is this man, hector, of one as well. he had previously been charged

with attempted murder here in new york just north of manhattan last year. listen to nypd chief moments ago speaking about a close call he had was one of these migrants, suspected migrant squatters, watch. >> i want you to look at this picture one more time, we have seen with this basement looks like, how narrow it is. look with this person does, he has it gotten under his armpit, he turns towards the sergeant, he's going for the gun. and that sergeant takes him down. the gun falls to the floor, it is an extended clip on that gun? i failed to mention recovered, or multi fully loaded extended clips in that search warrant speeding it is incredible what is going on a new york and other places across the country. andy mccarthy are going away and with rvs on it this, but a

first, corresponded a briny yannis who has been on the ground covering breaking news in the story that the week. hello brian. >> hello martha, just taught what hours ago we were alive one about a thousand eyes in force and removal officers showed up in unmarked vehicles at this home -- ice -- three a would be presumed to be three of the six migrant squatters who were released yesterday by a judge here in new york city without bail. a man and woman were taken into custody in front of our cameras, another man was arrested live on our air. officers told these three from the home were eight migrant squatters were arrested on multiple gun and drug charges. the nypd says they did not cooperate with ice in these arrests because they are not allowed to by law. this is a sanctuary city.

two hours before ice removal officers shell never made the arrest, we spoke to 25-year-old hector, he is one of the six migrant squatters released without bail despite the fine that he had previous he faced an attempted murder charge. i asked him in spanish and he was leaving, if he was still living in the basement apartment, he said he was moving out and said he was tricked into living there. listen. >> at her now, you tell me. steel that was our producer jan johnson, he whipped out his ipad and began, what was just about to record when i stepped in and started speaking to him in spanish. this all started last week when the nypd added ten migrant away from police with a loaded gun. they chased him into a bronx basement apartment were several other migrants and a 7-year-old were living inside the apartment, police found four guns, a ghost gun, extended ammo and taught what bags of drugs,

ketamine and cocaine. over like to show you where we are in relation to an elementary school, right across the street from elementary school is where these squatters were living. this is her neighbours say they were just months and months of noise, scooters. in fact,, one neighbour told new york post she saw one migrants got the -- squatter beating up a man with a pipe. another neighbour tells me what makes the most angry is that these are offenders who are released once again and the fact that children were so close by. the landlord by the way martha filed eviction papers in november. they were saying they've being living here for about a year and a half. >> martha: just a couple quick questions as you continue to cover this. my heart breaks for these neighbours first of all. they reported a lot of what you just mentioned and they were told by the police officers is nothing we can do. we cannot pull them out of this home even though they are probably not there legally. so the same people that were arrested and released, were they the same people that went back

to this place and got arrested again a couple of hours ago? >> yes, we are saying presumably because we believe that they were. the offices went right to the back of this home and that is where the basement engines is and they pulled out three people. two man and a woman. 's outlook, ice is not saying specifically these where the folks that were arrested but we are presuming that because this is a home, that's the location of the basement, and they came two hours after we aired that a video of our confrontation with hector desousa-villalta. i would not say confrontation, we just happen to see him here, he ran out of here couple of hours before ice came an arm over the other folks speak to you said somebody in the car was shouting to him to get in the car and leave. you have not seen him on the property, he is gone now? soon he is gonna. >> martha: you do not know where he is, correct? soon know that is right. he is the one with a loaded gun, he is the whole reason this even

started, he ran away from police and he told me he was moving and somehow he was "tricked" into living here. >> martha: fascinating. thank you very much. good to have a with us, grey reporting on this story. with that, fox and friends weekend cohost and anti- mccarthy former federal prosecutor and fox news can jupiter, john mantha thank you for being here. we think about the storming of the funds in el paso, you think about lake and riley who was killed -- laken riley who was killed by a venezuelan here illegally. you think about these poor people living in their homes in the bronx, a tough neighb neighbourhood, but they should not be subjected to people swinging guns around in front of the public school on their block. why can't nothing be done and why couldn't they do anything originally and now they went and got them? >> marcel you know, i grew up in the bronx so it pains me to say this, the reason they cannot do things is because politicians,

the people who have to have voted for who put in these terrible policies on mail reform and sanctuary cities. and think part of the confusion here is that that is two different cases going on. when we cite new york as a sanctuary city, that does not mean the feds cannot go in and enforce federal law. what it means as new york state authorities in the city police cannot, even though the cops would like to help them, they cannot help them because new york since 2014 has had this legal status as a sanctuary city -- city. i take that what happened here is that after the state released these guys under their ridiculous pale different bail provisions, the feds have come in and started to make a federal case which probably involves both immigration violations and drug and gun violations. >> martha: as he pointed out and in your peace, new york is the only state in the united states that does not permit judges to detain defendant's

pretrial based on a finding of dangerousness to the community. clearly there is a community danger, this guns and drugs in the right across the street from a school. god help this child, the 70 old, we know nothing about who this child is -- 7-year-old. pete, when you watch this play out here on the streets of new york and we have seen the and a lot of cities, but goes through your mind? >> it does not feel real. it does not feel like this could be the united states of america. nothing about crossing the border they did was legal, nothing in the house was legal, nothing what having the guns and drugs was legal. yet our legal system, so called a new york, just releases them? and then is not willing to cooperate with the federal government? the judge in the da corrupts our -- tried to set up bail, from what i understand they could have but they try not to because

it is almost never honoured because even though if anybody had their name it written down to be a flight risk it's these guys! they will want to be gone! and with the gunny you have the danger aspect. we're on a fundamentally -- we are a fundamentally unserious country because we do not enforce our laws, we do not stand by our taxpayer members whether it's a house they own, just across the street from an elementary school? he let that happen? that should be another charge! guns near schools! you have a charge on a charge! >> martha: this is gone -- under present all the people seem to have absolute no rights rights are the people who live on the block. and the kids would go to the school. they have no right to a safe education, no right to a safe place to live in it new york and these people until this apprehension which we hope sticks, these people had all the rights to come into country to live in a place for free, you

can take it from somebody else and own it. it is unfathomable. you are exactly right. what country are reliving and? watch this exchange with peter doozy earlier today in the white house briefing room, watch. >> there's a story new york, a person crew aboard across is found in drugs and guns, six of them are out now on baileymac does present a bottom think policies a that are making the country safer? soon anybody found guilty of a crime should be held accountable. we have been very clear about that. >> but you guys think some big cities in this country have a liberal das that are too soft on crime? >> we welcome local law enforcement supported in the apprehension apprehending and removing those who pose a risk to our national security or public safety. >> martha: andy what you think? >> biden's own party is the one that pushes these sanctuary cities and to pete's point, listen to the mass that we just

heard. as a defendant's, six of them got out which means it was possible to hold people on these charges, they just chose not to do it. it's not just a case of there's no dangerousness finding, if he were an illegal alien, by definition you do not have enough ties to the country, so you should be a bail risk for flights. yet they release six of these eight guys, it's just ridiculous. >> martha: it's unbelievable. at the very least if you cross the border illegally and you steal a pack of gum, you break the social contract, you are already on tenuous ground or you should be if you're here without a right to be here and we're gonna talking a minute about another story that will blow people's minds of how many people are being flown in or even flying in on their own d dime, but they don't have any papers to be here in some cases. and d., mccarthy, thank you. great to have you both here

today. >> thank you. >> martha: as i mentioned, hundreds of thousands of migrants phone and on commercial flights in most cases as far as we can tell on their own dime to "avoided the crash at the border" that is what this program exists because as just let people fly in without the passport, without the papers, we will just do that way because too many people come across the border. we will unravel some over those. where are they mostly headed? you guessed it. florida and texas. watch this. >> it a secret in the sense yes, we know the program is going on, we are suing over, we think it is illegal, we know it is illegal and unconstitutional but they are not coordinating with state government at all. >> martha: you can bet government -- governor desantis will not have that geek just just change laws on squatters saying you will not allow that in florida either. looks like a different country sometimes, florida.

authorities. that is just the fact. >> martha: queasy. tommy learn standing by to give you their analysis on the situation. some more of the reporting here from national correspondent live in el paso, hello matthew. >> hello martha, over the past few days here in el paso we have talked to migrants sitting on the ground inside of the international airport here which tells a flying to other destinations are trying to fly to other destinations across the united states. the same time we know there are migrants that flying into the united states and florida governor desantis that he is trying to fight that program. it is all under this biden program that stands for cuba, hayti, nicaragua and venezuela. official numbers show that fiscal year 2023, 184,000 migrants in those countries flew into miami alone. that is a dramatic increase from just 1500 migrants in fiscal

year 2022. thousands why reportedly flew into other states like texas and california. desantis as the biden administration is quietly bringing in these migrants without informing the states making it nearly impossible to track them. in a statement to foxnews the white house denies desantis' claim of secrecy writing "this is a lawful process that cuts of smugglers seeking to take advantage of vulnerable individuals considering migrating and has successfully decreased irregular migration from these countries". saying to the program is secret is laughably false, pretty strong statement. florida says it has a one lawsuit that is pending active against a biden administration and there is a large group of republicans in the house who have demanded the president terminate this program. >> martha: match,'s we think so much. with that, tommy lauren, on out, and fox news contributor, senior pluto analyst, great to have both of you with us.

going to read a piece from here as all who covers the border and -- now commands away. he says these flights are not chartered, they're not paid for by taxpayers, they paid by the people who were on the flights but what's unusual is it was designed to reduce the number of people coming across of the southern border, designed by the biden administration and it is a highly questionable legal use of mass parole which is generally done on a case by case basis, not at hundreds of thousands of flights as we saw. included in those groups is believed to be the haitian man charged with raping a disabled girl in massachusetts, it is not clear if they have checked on his sponsor when he -- once he got here peak up -- because he was supposed to going semi. this is an example of somebody where there was not a lot of follow-up, he was supposed to be a new jersey with his sponsor but ended up in massachusetts and tragically for this teen girl, allegedly assaulted her. how, one, going back to the

previous point, does that sound like america to you? this squatters story and then flying people in by the thousands who don't wonder nearly have a way to get in here except for this program? >> well, as a country, we are a country of immigrants that we have made special considerations especially historically for cubans fleeing political oppression and in this case it sounds like this is an open program trying to give people a way to avoid some of these cartels and human traffickers. but the bigger point here is we are discussing immigration which is a hot political issue according to the polls is that if former president trump really cares about this issue, why did he block legislation that would provided more border agents, more asylum judges, allowed the president the power to shut down the border when there was chaos

or research? that is what -- >> here is a question, given that, so you can make that argument that he should have encouraged him to pass a bill. they're all kinds of reasons they think that bill was about one oh would have led to a more difficult situation. but when the president -- when president biden watch that unfold, he could have said, all right, i will do what i can do. i can put women in mexico back in place, i can clothes abortive a quickly, i have the ability to do that. so he seems to be okay with all of those. in fact he's finding ways to fly more people in. >> no, i think what you are saying is he could have used an executive power, executive orders. >> sure, the one he ended. >> know, well, the courts have said the kind of covid-19 exclusions at the trumpet ministration 180 phased surges

were illegal and that he could not use those provisions any longer. you have to come up with a different things. i think the biden administration will have to respond because as we sat at the top it's a hot political issue. >> martha: boy or boy. >> ad hoc actions but it's at risk of violating the court l laws. >> martha: okay,, let's take a look at this. this is a six out of seven swing states that trump is leading biden in. i think these stories are collected -- connected, what you think? >> of this a be the number 1 issue on the top of voters minds. it was one of the top issues in 2016 when donald trump of coors won the presidency and it will be a top issue heading into november. this administration does not even seem to want to effect of the optics of it. here the democrat talking points that ron brought up -- juan brought up that president trump

block the bipartisan senate abortive bill, rosol trump is not an office, he cannot block anything, also that bill was a joke. let's talk about president biden could do today. if he is able to send $300 million to ukraine without congressional approval, if he is willing to cancel student loan debt without congressional approval, he can certainly do something about our southern border. talking about these flights, if you want to go back to senate democrats and where they are unwilling to do, the senator for my state brought up a bill that would provided taxpayer dollars being spent on these charter flights flying illegal immigrants and antara country and senate democrats voted unanimously against that. one has to wonder why do democrats wants to have it millions upon millions of millions illegal immigrants in this country and why do they want them primarily in florida and texas? is he that is a great question to test the democrat talking points on that one. >> martha: and some of these cases those are the destinations individuals chose to come into

the country on. i want to point out, not all, the states that we showed you, these brand-new battleground estate numbers where donald trump is leading in all of them, he is also leading and all of those swing states on the issue of immigration. i want to point that out. thank you very much, great to have you both here today. >> thank you. >> martha: the threat of potentially a larger war, or at least a retaliation in the middle east as a fight against hamas tests the u.s. relationship with israel. your best days of the year start here, at kubota orange days. it's the year's biggest selection of kubota tractors, zero-turn mowers and utility vehicles, including the #1 selling compact tractor in the usa. plus, the year's best deals, like 0% apr for 84 months, or up to $3,300 off select compact tractors.

>> martha: with everything going on it is understandable there are some fears of a wider war in the middle east. iran has promised revenge for the attack that killed a top iranian general in syria. israel is not claimed responsibility for the strike and the pentagon says the u.s. "made it very clear to iran that's it, meaning the united states, was not involved in that strike. setting that a message through "private channels" because tensions in the region are taken so -- are so high at this time. standing abide to talk to us about thoughts, refers, tower corresponded with the back story on all of it from tel aviv.

hello. >> a good afternoon, the relationship between israel and the united states right now is strained to say the least. overnight president biden released a statement slamming israel for not doing enough to protect humanitarians into gaza. the comments were related to the israeli drone strike that killed seven aid workers from the world central kitchen this week. the president said he was outraged by the incident, the state department saying this today... >> of these railings have said to us and they have said publicly that they intend to conduct this investigation softly. we want is it wrapped up as soon as possible. and see them put in place any measures to prevent this from happening again in the future. >> washington and tel aviv are also reportedly still distant and that our opinions on what to do next inside of gaza, 180 days into the war, israel is still finalizing plans to invade gaza's southernmost city ever offer! were more than 1.4 million

palestinians are currently sheltering. with all eyes on because of the middle east is bracing for an iranian response for suspected is really strike that killed two top iranian generals in the syria. we do a designer now israel's air defence system is on high alert, fearing retaliation. >> martha: thank you very much, reporting from tel aviv. was that we bring in a retired general, former vice chief of staff, chairman of the institute for the study of war and fox news senior strategic analyst. john mantha to have you with us. picking up from watt street was saying in his report, what do you think that an iranian response to the killing of one of their military leaders who would have been -- before he was hit, what easing that response will look like from iran? >> while surely i do believe they are fearing a response but it will not lead to a war they will not have an overwhelming

response it would force israel's hand to really conduct copperheads of attack against them. listen what is will has been doing to iran in proxy for years is significant, iran is quite condition to what, over the last three plus years, israel has conducted close to 300 airstrikes in syria against iranian proxies and iranian assets as iran tried to develop military bases in assyria to eventually attack iran, they eventually took a down missile warehouses out of the airport after iranians offloaded to the missiles from congo airplanes or commercial airplanes into those warehouses. right after the airport, they did that once artie this year. they took down nuclear scientists and military leaders in iran for years. they went in and conducted a comprehensive espionage of the warehouse in iran that housed

all the nuclear information, classified, and expose that to the public back in 2018. then they went after the secret site and destroyed the 70 futures there in 2020. they have done a lot to iranians. iranians response to most of that has not been much of anything. we will get some kind of response from iran but it is not to, and i say not, going to lead to a war in the middle east between israel and iran or between the united states and around susa you want to get your thoughts on two things if i may general, we were told moments ago from the white house that president biden will speak with benjamin netanyahu, the leader of israel kind that will happen tomorrow. always it was a very strained relations at this point and a very important relationship, out of nowhere the middle east or israel would be without that relationship so we will see where that goes. this is a quote from the deputy chairman of secured council of russia, he said "it would be

interesting to see what would happen if iran hypothetically attacked the u.s. embassy in israel. i see vivid fear and confusion in the eyes of americans coming from the former russian leader "and that still in the leadership in russia. general? >> or they do not have to go that far to attack and embassy. we have embassies where they can reach is pretty quickly. certainly we would respond to something like that for sure. look, i would take exception the fact that we made a comment go out of our way to make a comment to say that we are not involved in it. if you go to make any comment about what took place, it should be in support of the strike against the irg seal leadership that has been prosecuting the war against us in iraq and syria as well as israel, in syria and lebanon, and also rbc

controlling hamas and hezbollah rather dramatically. what is in support? publicly as opposed to just the opposition publicly opposing how israel is conducting the war? it's an unfortunate to see this relationship deteriorated the weight has. >> martha: yet that maybe that is some of the fear and confusion that medvedev talks about when he looks at what is going on across the border and all of those, it seems an unequivocal answer would be in order for that in terms of what happened taking out of this person, who has coming after us and our people. general, thank you. good to see you soon great talking with you. >> martha: in moments, joining us as deities sons lawyer up with a high profile attorney who once are presented else chop oh there are places you'd like to be. like here.

inside as of the agents move along the hallways, weapons drawn, guided in part it appears by drone. as a movement to detain two of combs' adult sons, justin and kristen, they have the rifles aimed at the pair, the edited video was posted on instagram by combs' mother lisa hylton who called the agent's actions overtly militarized and deplorable and hylton said quote "of these were the sons of a nonblack celebrity they would not have been handled with the same aggression. the attempts to humiliate and terrorize of these young black men is despicable. "but law enforcement experts a everything the agents are seen doing in the video is standard practice. >> you are stacking up, lining up with each other, they have tactical weapons because they are trained to use them. the officers, his fingers never

on the trigger until he's ready to fire. these guys practices over and over again every day, every week, this is our job. >> sources have told folks -- fox that the rate of diddy's home is linked to a sex trafficking investigation that comes in the wake of several lawsuits alleging sexual assault that are being filed against homes. 's attorneys have dismissed of the investigation as "nothing more than a witchhunt based on meritless accusations". >> martha: okay,, jonathan thank you very much. you bring any criminal defence attorney, mark got good to have you here. you see the video over this rate it, they came in with quite a bit of forests in that situation, photo -- put two of his sons in handcuffs at one point. what you make of the raid and do you think it was as it should have been as we just heard from that former individual from law enforcement? >> while his son is claiming he

was it terrorized and humiliated. there is a difference between being a terrorized and humiliated and feeling that way. i think he probably felt that way. rightfully so. but the question is did they do something that is out of the ordinary because it is diddy and the colour of his skin, and whether this was standard operating procedure? i've been around for over three decades and i'm telling you in the criminal arena, that is how they handle business. it's not just because it's net diddy. of those reports there could be people armed at the scene because they don't say excuse me guys, and we command, would it be alright if we just come in? 's alkyl with you guys? they come in like the military with extreme force, they control the scenario so nobody gets h hurt. and while it is unfortunate, it is standard procedure. >> martha: all right. so one of his sons, christian, we did see was part of this raid and was handcuffed for a time,

there was a little bit of back-and-forth on social on social media coming from quincy brown who is diddy's adopted son, happy birthday kristian casey combs, my love -- me on king a levy with all my heart she said, they can stop it what we are not stopping the coop and that is the truth. white to their posture be at this point and as it was for them to be on social media, what you make of this post? >> allow the first amendment. everybody can spew whatever they want and they truly feel they were mistreated, obsolete go ahead and express that. maybe it shines a light on whether there's any any other way that could have accomplished what they wanted to accomplish and do it with more love. the idea of fluffing pillows and leaving chocolate on his bed is a bit much but maybe, maybe, with all the force obsolete necessary? perhaps the answer is yes. whatever that is not, as it is

room for improvement, that is okay to. >> martha: yeah,, i mean a lot of questions about what happened in there that we did not see on the cameras, whether or not the force was necessary as you point out and how strong the case is about what was in the house and what they have to get their hands on as part of that raid. you will see where it goes, i hope you join us again because you will stay with the story throughout. great to see you. a texas congressman tony gonzalez on his states battle to defend itself at the border. that is next e. are you looking to grow closer to god? dive deeper into prayer. listen, it doesn't matter if you've never prayed before or if you're praying every day. god wants you to grow a little closer to him. to give you a little more of his peace. he■s here with you now. let him in. join me and millions of others on the number one prayer app in the world. hallow. let's grow a little closer to jesus together. try hallow for free today.

always trumps states rights in this sort of situation. >> thank you for having me back on. able to save my district which is nearly half of the overall south and border, we have our fingers crossed that it they will finally get over to the finish line and we will have somebody start to enforce the law. it is very evident that joe biden is not willing to do enforce the law and governor abbott is the only one who is willing to -- willing and able to make our community safe. this is year five over this crisis, we often talk about el paso, we see the images of several weeks ago of them rushing eagle pass, gets a lot of attention. i was just out in west texas and alpine and is he the spread in the example is, that was just a couple of texans that died of fentanyl overdose, in this has not happened in decades. we're saying that spread also i met with some of my sheriffs out in west texas, and raegan county and this is hundreds of miles

a lot -- by the way everybody who's coming over illegally is breaking the law. i get it, many of them are fleeing desperate situations but are they are breaking the law. you are allowing that to occur. what if you break the law, all of a sudden they are throwing the book at you. if you don't pay her taxes, if you don't do these certain things, this is why think americans -- is not a just a party or an ideology, americans are tired and they're going what about us? what about our safety, what about our kids? what about our communities? and this is where joe biden is getting it wrong. this all goes away when you deports people that are here illegally. is that simple. >> martha: yes, here is the latest fox news poll, blaming the fall me a great deal or someone for the situation on the border, you have 82 percent, biden's lack of enforcement at 74 percent. you are in congress that is always a republicans fall, they

listen to donald trump and they sat on their hands and did not pass the senate legislation that would have made things safer. >> joe biden convicts as problem today, i would also say congress has an equal role in those. we cannot just be throwing rocks, that has to be real, tangible solutions at deeb all-american safe. the sooner we get to that, the better off america will be b. three thank you very much, good to see you. as always, we will see you soon. today, oh anchor savanna revealing the climate at nbc in the buildup to the network's firing of ronna mcdaniel. that is next. i would like to take a moment to address my fellow veterans, because i know there are so many of you who have served your country
