>> more like your ass. you're the one that's going to lose your job. >> look, am i the only one who wants this? >> i'm just saying that's what you're always sayin'. >> it will be your asses at the valentine's assembly. >> oh, man, she's tough. show s. she ain't j.lo, and you ain't the boy next door. let's go. enough of that. sadness are phony. plus brazil bounces back at the world cup, an emotional moment for neymar. welcome to our viewers in the united states and around the world. i'm ivan watson and this is "cnn newsroom." 500 families separated as they cross the u.s. southern border

have now been reunited, that is according to the u.s. customs and border protection officials. but that means more than 2,000 children remain separated, and so far no plans have been announced on how those children will be reunited with their families. adding to the chaos and confusion soon after they are taken into custody, children are transferred from customs and border protection to the department of health and human services. at the same time, president trump is trying to focus attention from families separated at the border to crimes committed by undocumented immigrants. here is chief white house correspondent jim are beingcost. >> reporter: president trump appeared to make light of children separated from their parents at the border, turning his attention to families whose relatives were killed by undocumented immigrants, calling them permanently separated. >> these are the american citizen permanently separated from their loved ones. the word permanently being the

word that you have to think about, permanently. >> reporter: the president then took a swipe at undocumented immigrants suggesting that they commit more crime than native born americans despite studies that it is not true. >> it is not true. you hear like they are better people than our citizens. it is not true. >> reporter: the mayor of el paso, a border city, begs to differ. >> el paso is the safest city in the united states. >> reporter: two days after the president seemed to reverse course and announce that he was halting the practice of separating my grant children from their parents, the white house briefing room sat empty for the second straight day, there were no explanations of how the children would be reunited. but there were plenty of reminders the issue isn't going away. protestors played audio of children separated from their parents. >> i think the american people need to hear this.

>> reporter: as did democratic dock m kofr congressman ted liu up on capitl hill. and lawmakers who visited the detention facilities talked about the kids who were still locked up in cages the administration is hiding from the public. >> what we saw was a lot of kids in cages. we weren't allowed to talk to them, but the real issue here is these kids are removed from their parents, so they are scared. >> reporter: attorney general jeff sessions even tried to cover up his own comments telling christian broadcasting that the administration didn't attend to split up migrant families. >> the american people don't like the glad we're separating families. we never really intended to do that. >> reporter: even though he warned of that last month. >> if you are smuggling a child, we will prosecute you. and that child may be separated from you as required by law. >> reporter: over on fox news, one host he said tsaid the kids

over the border aren't american enough. >> these aren't our kids. show them compassion, but it is not like he is doing this to the people of idaho or texas. >> reporter: no surprise the president is now abandoning efforts to pass immigration reform tweeting republicans should stop wasting their time on echl grace until after the november elections, this is after he tweeted earlier this week change the laws, get it done. >> we're also wanting to go through congress. we will be going through congress. we're working on a much more comprehend sive bill. >> reporter: still the question remains whether the administration really has plan to return all the children back to their families. as one top aide put to me, quote, i'm not sure what the plan is. jim acosta, cnn, the white house. also on friday, mr. trump wrote on twitter, quote, we cannot allow our country to be overrun by illegal immigrants as the democrats tell their phony stories of sadness and grief. but here is the thing, those

stories were real enough for him to take executive action. and they have been documented by reporters along the border and across the country. ed lavendera talked to a woman desperately trying to find her 9-year-old son. >> reporter: the phone call came from inside the port isabelle detention senator in south texas. on the line is an undocumented immigrant who asked that we not identified her by name. she was from honduras and was separated from her 9-year-old son 1 d1 days ago after crossin the rio grande illegally. i asked her how she's feeling. not good at all, she says. all of the mothers who are here as well as the kids, the truth is we never imagined this would happen. i asked her how she was separated. she betrayed us, she said. they told us we weren't going to

separate us from them and we never imagined that it would be for so long. department of homeland security officials have vehemently denied that immigrants have been misled in any way. >> there are things that you can do to help out with the children. >> reporter: jody goodwin is trying to find 22 children, she represents 25 undocumented immigrants who have always been separated from their children for about two weeks. most don't know where their kids are? >> none of them know. i don't know where their kids are. >> reporter: goodwin says her clients have tried calling the numbers provided by the federal government to track where their children were sent, but that hasn't worked. only three of her clients have even spoken to their children. >> it is just not a system where you punch in a parent's name and it pops up the child's name. it just didnoesn't exist. very fraus traiustrating. and each time i see them, they

ask you have to ado you have an? >> reporter: while there have been a number of emotional reunions, there are still many families struggling to just connect over the phone. the department of homeland security says there is not a publicly accessible database to track the shelters where the undocumented children are being kept. the adult detention centers have phones where the parents can call their children. the immigrant oig n the phone s she is in a wing with 70 other mothers trying to communicate with their children. i asked per whher what message would like the world to hear. she says president trump for one second put yourself in our place. the only thing we want is for them to give us our children back. government officials say the reason the children's database isn't widely accessible is because of security concerns. but the fact of the matter is there are hundreds of undocumented immigrants who have been detained for weeks who still haven't been able to find out where their children are, much less talk to them.

i spoke with one central american man who has been detained nearly three weeks. he told me his greatest concern worrying about the anxiety, uncertainty and confusion that his daughter must be experiencing because of this separation. ed lafrn davendera, cnn. >> i'm now joined by an immigration lawyer who is in our los angeles bureau. thanks for coming in this evening. let's get started on of course immigration. it has never been an easy process for coming to the u.s. when it comes to policies of the last month or so, you've had a zero tolerance policy imposed. and just within the last week, an executive order from president trump that is trying to maintain family unity. have any of these moves further complicated the work that you are trying to do to help people get legal status here as

residents or citizens of this country? >> yes, unfortunately these policies and the most recent executive order have not been well thought out. the administration created the problem with a zero tolerance policy, and then replaced one bad solution with another bad solution. unfortunately, the policy is aimed at ending the trauma of family separations, but it has just replaced it with the trauma of prolonged detention of families and children in jails until they can go through the criminal procedures and then the immigration procedures. >> do you get the sense that all of the judges, all the different agencies and departments that are involved at different facets of this work, that they all know what the policy and what the guidelines are right now? >> absolutely not. there are conflicting statements. and in fact it is impossible to execute this new executive order

within the confines of the law. as i mentioned, the executive order calls for prolonged detention of the kids with their parents. but there is also laws that protect these kids. and says that kids should not be held in i.c.e. custody for more than 20 days at a time. they also don't have the beds, enough beds to house these families together. this is a solution that is unworkable from day one. >> now, the crisis of the last month or so, the separation of children from their families, more than 2,000 of them in just six weeks, that is highlighted immigration and it has kind of shown a spotlight on trends that had already been developing i believe under past administrations. you already had large numbers of what the state defines as unaccompanied alien children in federal shelters. so can you kind of explain the

evolution of a policy that probably some of your colleagues were critical about before president trump was elected and enacted zero tolerance? >> there has been judicious use of criminal prosecution for people who enter the united states improperly. what is different is that now the administration is criminally prosecuting everyone and using detention in place of alternatives that are much less costly to the taxpayer and much more humane. >> let's go to some of the most recent comments from president trump where he talked about what he perceives as a link between illegal immigration and crime in this country. >> i always hear that, oh, no, the population is safer than the people that live in the country. you've heard that, fellows, right? i hear so much. and i say is that possible? the answer is it is not true. you hear like they are better

people than what we have, than our citizens. it is not true. >> statistics show that with the increase of immigration overbroad period in this country, that violent crime nonetheless has gone down. job numbers that may not directly correlate. what are your thuts? >> t >> the president is perpetuating the myth. there are no facts that support this myth. in fact studies show that immigrants have a far lower rate of criminal incidence as compared to the native born american. >> all of this of course in the midst of -- in a country founded by immigrants. you yourself are an immigrant oi. my mother was a refugee to this

country. and it is striking many to hear some of the rhetoric being hurled against entire communities of people who have contributed in the past to this country. thank you so much for taking the time to speak with me. >> my pleasure. coming up after the break, president trump retreats from his own hard line policy on immigration. and now he is telling republicans not to bother with legislation for now. we'll examine what it might mean come november. plus you've probably heard of neymar and messi, but how about nigeria's musef? his dominant game at the world cup ahead.

cup ahead.

am i willing to pay the price for loving you?.

you'll make my morning, but ruin my day. complicated relationship with milk? pour on the lactaid. it's delicious 100% real milk, just without that annoying lactose. mmm, that's good. lactaid. the real milk that doesn't mess with you. and try calcium enriched lactaid. 100% real milk with 20% more calcium. still no lactose. welcome back. the u.s. government estimates it now holds nearly 12,000 immigrant minor, those children are often he relocated without notice among 100 youth detention centers and foster homes across 17 states. their families may have no idea where they are. disturbing allegations ever abua of abuse have been filtering out

over the years. they include unsanitary conditions and forcibly giving te children powerful mood altering drugs in the guise of vitamins. but president trump hasn't mentioned any of florida during the present crisis. instead on friday he focused on victims of violence crimeduring the present crisis. instead on friday he focused on victims of violence crime whose loved ones died because of illegal immigrants. >> these are the american citizens permanently separated from their loved ones. the word permanently being the word that you have to think about. permanently. they are not separated for a day or two days. these are permanently separated. >> to get some analysis on this, let's bring in professor of international politics at city university of london. thank you for joining. frankly, for those of us who have been following this closely, it has been a very confusing week. president trump signed an executive order to end his own

policy of zero tolerance which led to family separation in the first place. there have been so many contradictory statements this week. how do you view this last week when it comes to the u.s. and its immigration policy?>> what obviously it is still playing out and we don't know the full consequences, but it seems that president trump has now recognized that there is an upper limit to even his hardcore supporters' support for anti-immigration policies. when you see children being separated from their families and they are caged and drugged as your report said, they have been unable to be found and relocated to their parents when they wanted to, i think then the land of apple pie and motherhood even republicans over the age ever 50 nearly half of them do not support the separation policy. and i think the president trump has had toreverse himself ever

so slightly, he cannot rely on his base to support him and i think he is now stepping back in order to take stock again. >> let's take a look at another tweet from president trump. he tweeted republicans should stop wasting their time on immigration until after we elect more senators and congressmen/women in november. dems are playing games. have no intention of doing anything to solve this decades old problem. we can pass great legislation after the red wave. so he is clearly looking forward to the midterm elections. my question to you, do you think some of the outrage we've seen could impact the midterm november elections? will voters still remember this five months from now? >> i think that is a big question. i think what he is trying to do is do back from the most harsh aspect of the policy that he has been pursuing for some time. i think he sees that there is a

pr disaster that has occurred. i don't think that he will reverse himself. and i think the idea behind the republicans dropping any kind of immigration reform now, i think in a way is to mod wrerate the opposition to his child separation policy and to try to retain the galvanizing force on his electorate of the anti-immigration stance in itself. he is flirting on the very outer edges of a right wing political party and white supremacist kind of support. and i think what he wants is the immigration policy to keep bubbling on because i think for him it is a bit of a vote winner or has been and i don't think that he wants the democrats to have any kind of credit for passing any kind of legislation which prevents him from doing some of the most excessive things that he is doing. so i think he is trying to steer a path in between the most extreme which he has been found out on and the sort of area in

which he campaigned so strongly from 2016 onwards. in order so that 2018 in the midterms it remains an issue on which he remains very strong, but he is galvanizing a lot of opposition. and one of the things that is happening is -- >> let me interrupt you on that opposition, professor. we've seen pretty remarkable statements coming from a number of governors, at least ten states that have indicated that they are either going to withdraw troops from their national guards or not going to send them at all to help bolster protection security along the southern border with mexico. we've also heard about airlines for example announcing three major airlines saying they won't fly any children that they believe may have been separated from their parents. have you ever seen this kind of outrage played out this way in the u.s. before about a policy? >> well, i haven't seen it myself, but in 1930, the

attorney general then, palmer as his name was, carried out raids in january 1920 and arrested 10,000 people across the country. and there was outrage after that because there was no revolution which he had predicted was going to occur from the left. it has occurred before, but i think what this is doing is effectively for every politician who has been supporting a get tough policy because they believed american public opinion was moving in that direction, i think they have now seen that this is not going to win them any support, that this policy has gone too far. and i think that they are doing it for political calculation far more than for any kind of what i would argue is a moral position. because a lot of these sort of things were already happening, but it is only when the recordings and some of the pictures came out of the children crying and border guards abusing those children and so on that they began to accept back. i don't think that this is a

reversible overall a reversible position because i think that the detention of large numbers of mmigrants will carry on. and as you asked your previous guest, i think there are continuities here from previous administrations as well. so while you can roll back a little bit, i think there is a longer term shift which is going on and i'm not sure that the end of president trump's regime is going to see the end of that particular kind of politics at all. >> and as you pointed out, a pr problem for president trump, but some would argue also a moral and ethical problem as well. thank you very much for speaking to us from city university in london. now, president donald trump is doubling down in his trade fight with europe. on friday, he threatened to impose steep tariffs on european auto imports, it came the same day that the eu imposed new tariffs on american products.

claire sebastien has more. >> reporter: there was a tit for tat playing out in real time and in public. first eu tariffs on $3.2 billion worth of u.s. goods came into force friday. that was widely expected and telegraphed. peanut butter, bourbon, denim, products designed to hit the u.s. where it hurts. the eu was retaliating for the trump administration's tariffs on steel and aluminum. the trump administration doesn't see it that way. within hours president trump had tweeted this, based on the tariffs and trade barriers long placed on the u.s. and its great companies and workers, if these tariffs and barriers are not soon broken down and removed, we will be placing a 20% tariff on all of their cars come into the u.s. build them here. it is not the first time the trump administration has dangled the prospects of car tariffs. back in may, there was an investigation into whether

foreign auto imports threatened u.s. national security. but it is a serious threat. the u.s. is the biggest market for european cars and european car makers already being mitt from all sides in this trait sp spat. daimler has already warned that its profits would be hit by the u.s./china tax. and this could also come back to bite the u.s. economy. european car makers already manufacture many of their vehicles in the u.s. if their profits get hit, so will u.s. jobs. and a 20% tariff means the u.s. consumer could be paying thousands of dollars more for a european car. however you look at it, this escalation is intensifying where we could all he said up payiend price. claire sebastien, cnn, new york. bourbon lovers, we have bad news. a storage building partially collapsed at the barton 1792 distillery in kentucky sending about 9,000 barrels crashing to the ground.

no one was hurt in the accident. the good news, it looks worse than it is. many of the barrels are still intact and can be salvaged. so you can raise a glass to that at least. coming up, brazil yetget a sewer price challenge at the world cup. how it took more than neymar to get a win ahead. plus argentina fans are in agony, how they are coping with the painful loss to croatia. all that coming up after the break. number 1 sleep doctor recommended remfresh -- your nightly sleep companion. available in the natural sleep section at walmart. they have businesses to run they have passions to pursue how do they avoid trips to the post office? stamps.com mail letters ship packages all the amazing services of the post office

here are the headlines this hour.trump administration says some 500 families separated at the southern border have now been reunited. but more than 2,000 children remain separated from their parents. on friday, president trump met with families of victims killed by illegal immigrants. he called those permanent separations. >> the u.s. defense department announced it is suspending some upcoming military exercises with south korea. the decision was made after the summit between the u.s. and north korea. the pentagon says additional suspensions depend on productive negotiations with pyeongchang. protests broke out in pittsburgh, pennsylvania for a third straight night after a police officer shot an unarmed teen to death there week. four people were arrested friday as protesters blocked the streets. the officer involved in the shooting is on leave while police investigate.

let's go to the world wup. the super eagles were soaring friday at the world cup. nigeria took on ice wland land 2-nil win. they couldn't stop ahmed musa. he got both goals for nigeria keeping their world cup dreams alive. now for more on friday's action and a look ahead to saturday's games, i'm joined by amanda davies. good to see you there. and you are no longer in front of saint base stiil's cathedral. switzerland beat serbia, but the game had a tinge of history and politics. what happened? >> reporter: yeah, i'm in front of of the stadium where belgium are playing tunisia later on.

we'll come on to that. but looking back to what happened yesterday, we have this saying that sport and politics doesn't mix. but actually as serbia took on switzerland yesterday, the opposite was true. there is a lot of history between these two sides. switzerland is a very international side with players from a number of different ethnic backgrounds. and their two goal scorers are both originally from koso vchlv descent. they have said in the past that if he had his chance again, he would wand to play for kosovo. but they only relatively recently have been recognized by

the international football association. and the ruling was that if people had played in major tournaments for different countries, then they weren't allowed to swap allegiance. andhat we saw last night was a real outpouring of emotion when they scored their goals. it was an ethnic albanian territory that was involved in an independent battle against largely serb forces in the late 1990s and early 2000s they declared independence. but that isn't recognized by serbia. so when these players are scored last night, you saw what it meant for them not just scoring for switzerland, but also their nation of they don't want

political displays during their football matches, so you would expect fifa will be looking into it. but certainly a very emotive night on the football pitch here. >> probably wouldn't be welcome in russia either, a traditional ally of serbia as well. let's talk about the upcoming games. belgium will be playing against tunisia. i understand that the belgians have had high hopes in the past only to disappoint in previous tournaments. any chance that luck could turn around this time? >> reporter: yeah, all those phrases, dark horses, the golden generation, are used time and time again when you talk about belgium. i was here yesterday to see them training. and when you look at the players that they have available to them, it is like a fantasy football team. but traditionally they haven't managed to put it together at these major tournaments. and martinez who is a relatively

new coach with the great france international, he spoke very hopefully about the facts that his job is to combine this group of individuals with such incredible talent, to make them into a team, to facilitate them playing to their maximum capacity on this biggest stage. they did beat panama 3-nil in their opening game, but the view was they didn't do as well as they should have done, they didn't manage to use all their potential. tunisia will be another tough prospect for them today. they defend very deep. we saw that against england. but you would think belgium would have too much for them and they would hope to put six points on the board, two wins out of two games which would give them definitely one foot in the next round. >> and are germany and fred

flo plight kwill be watching this closely. are they at risk of being eliminated? >> reporter: four years ago standing next to fred and seeing him celebrating, there was a little bit of plme chuck link i his and germany. and there is no doubt that the pressure is on. germans now need to very much step up and get a result against sweden. what they know, if they avoid defeat, it will see them through to the final rounds of group games knowing that they are still in the hunt. but they definitely need to improve on what we saw last time. they were very disjointed, didn't really create many chances in their opening game against mexico. and sweden will be a tough

opposition for them. back in the world cup for the first time in 12 years. they got a victory in their opening game and have been really schooled by their manager in creating a team ethos. it has been working for them so far, but germany know that sochi was the scene of big victories for them this time last year. they will be hoping to refind that success today. >> amanda davies in moscow, we'll be watching all of this very closely. thank you. now still to come, cnn interviews some of america's working poor to find out how they are struggling to get by. our report comes on the heels of a united nations report criticizing the u.s. for its treatment of the poor. all that after the break. ahh... summer is coming.

sam? >> reporter: yes, it is. you are right. we are at the opposition rally. if there is one person who could chale the ability of mr. erdogan to avoid a second runoff, if there is anybody that can stop mr. erdogan from getting 51% of the vote, all of the experts agree it is this person who has come from a long career in parliament, but not the leader of his party. representing a broad church of opposition all the way from radical islamic parties right through to the staunchly secular heir to the founder of modern turkey. this is the man who support his supporters hope and certainly mr. erdogan might fear may force the current incumbent to a presidential runoff. of course his coalition of parties also trying to eat away

at the dominance of mr. erdogan's ruling party in the parliamentary elections. he had a massive turnout in his support base in the city with the interesting to see whether or not he beggalvanizes such a large crowd. >> and i believe erdogan's own final rally ahead of the election is due to begin in minutes. and of course in the past he has campaigned as an underdog against the establishment. now 18 years later he is very much the establishment in turkey. so we'll see how that message translates in this coming election. sam kiley live from istanbul, thank you very much. ahead on "cnn newsroom," argentina nearly in tears. how the country is coping as its world cup team struggles. sleep disturbances keep 1 in 3 adults up at night.
