administration. time and again, a lack of planning and a lack of foresight, just shooting from the hip on policy. and there's consequences. >> thanks very much, the story clearly not going away by any means. that is it for me, thanks for watching. i'm wolf blitzer in the situation room. erin burnett, out front starts right now. >> falling short of a crucial deadline. the youngest of the children separated from their families at the southern border still not reunited tonight. the president's plan, don't come to the u.s. illegally. and pompeo's north korean disasterer, new details on how badly the trip went and how a rocket man -- meant for kim jong-un never got to him. and ken star is my guest tonight. let's go "out front." good evening, "out front"
4:01 pm
tonight, failure. the trump administration falling short of a crucial deadline to reunite babies and toddlers with their parents by today. now, when i say babies and toddlers i'm talking about just that, all children under the age of 5. they were separated from their parents at the southern border, as a result of president trump's zero tolerance immigration policy. today was the deadline, they every single one of them was supposed to be reunited. that's what a judge said, it's a deadline in place for two weeks, but the presidency did not get there. the trump administration acknowledging in a court filing that, the 1 on-- of the 102 youngest children, only 38 will be reunited by today the deadline. our cameras did spot children loaded in to vans, expected to be reunited with their parents they though are among the lucky few. they account for less than half of the very young children that are right now in the u.s. government's custody.
4:02 pm
meantime, the judge that caused the deadline, reminding the trump administration, these are firm deadlines not goals. okay. that's what the judge said, so, what is the holdup? well, vice president mike pence spoke to us and here's what he said. >> had what we don't ever want to do is return a vulnerable child, age 3, age 4, to somebody who may be a threat to them. or may ab human trafficker who -- or may be a human trafficker, who is not their parent. >> we all want to protect these innocent vulnerable children. but the truth is, they are separated from their parents because of of a policy that the trump administration, including mike pence, put in place. according to the "new york times" more than 700 kids were separated from their parents from october of last year and april of this year. since april, when the zero
4:03 pm
tolerance policy officially took affect that number increased to 2300, it surged and now we are learning the number is higher than that. and the administration is saying it's closer to 3,000. look, it's deeply troubling that knowing the number of kids separated is an art and not a science for the trump team. that should be a specific and exact thing had, we are talking about human lives. with well off seen images of the children. some of them behind chain link walls and others crying for their parents. the trump administration pulled off the fete of flying the children to falls around the country, getting them registered on some level. that's a logistical fete but they don't know who belongs to whom. one of the separated minors may actually be an american citizen. today's deadline missed and now another one looming, one for every child, even though over 5
4:04 pm
or whatever that number is, since it keeps changing to be reunited with their families. that date is two weeks away, july 26th. what is the president's plan to fix the embarrassing situation. well, he told us today. i have a solution. tell people not to come to our country illegally. that is the solution. don't come to our country illegally. come like other people do. come legally. >> don't come to our country illegally. okay, that's, well, whatever that is, it's not a solution to reuniting families that are already in the country that the president separated in the first place, keep in mind, it has been 20 days since president trump tried to undo his policy of separating the families. 20 days since he said this. >> we are keeping families together and this will solve that problem. >> again, that was 20 days ago. and tonight, plenty of
4:05 pm
republicans are not happy. it's not a partisan issue. senator ron johnson telling cnn, "we are not making progress in terms of reunification." we are in texas, right near the border and ed, you have been covering this issue since the beginning. tonight, the deadline, and it doesn't look like the government is closes to reuniting all of the families. >> no, it doesn't appear that way, as you mention the numbers, what this deadline refers to today, is 102 children under the age of 5. the federal government earlier today is said that it would be able to reunite 38 of those 102, far short of the deadline, the federal government and dhs said there's a number of reasons behind that. h -- they stress the safety and well being of the children are the priority. they are verifying that they are turning them over to adults that are their parents. they say, it's a slow process
4:06 pm
and there's been a number of adults with criminal backgrounds that the children would not be turned over to. but the vast majority of the 102 don't fall under those categories. the federal judge in california earlier today said that, he saw no reason why 63 of the 102 could not have been transferred over to their families at some point today, but here we are. 38 out of 102, and as you mention, there's still a, another looming deadline here in the next couple of weeks on july 26th, of the 3,000 children that were separated from their families. so a lot of critics and immigrant advocates and attorneys who have been following these cases closely over the last month and a half, are really wondering if the federal government was not prepared to handle and reunite 102 children with their families, how in the world would they handle the vast majority of the much larger number of 3,000
4:07 pm
kids with that looming deadline here in the next couple of weeks. erin. >> obviously the crucial question here and the deadlines being missed. thank you. and i want to go to brownsville, texas, right there on the border and the detention center there had 36 children under the age of 5 separated from their parents. age 10-17 separated as well. let's get to it. the 36 kids that we are talking about in your detention drent detention centers under the age of five. we have a couple of hours left technically today, do you expect any of them or all of them will be reunited with their families? >> reporter: i don't anticipate they will be reunited today. i keep track of the kids because i'm concerned for their safety and health. but out of the 36, according to the executive director of
4:08 pm
southwest keys, all 36 are ready to go. they know who they are supposed to go to. there's probably six that have some sort of deportation or question as to exactly where they are supposed to go. but they said, they are getting are t -- they are getting ready to do it for a period of time. in our situation, it's the administration that is not complying with the court order, not because -- >> so what is the holdup, you are saying, you have 36 kids ared to go and six of them that -- kids ready to go, and six of them in question, but you know, everything is in place. what is causing the delay then, do you think? >> reporter: well, no, like i see, i was one of the casa grande, i think, for some reason, there's a disconnect between the providers on -- providers of the care and the administration. i said, why don't you let them know they are here, and where they belong.
4:09 pm
they have close to 200 of 10-17-year-olds. they were saying they were asked to wait until they got mirror instructi -- until they got more instruction. it's a troubling situation, it's outrageous. from an outsider looking in, it looks somewhat deliberate in not complying with what the judge asked them to do. >> so that is a significant thing you are saying. the administration is saying, the hhs, to be specific, an official there telling us today, we would be putting them in the care of a rapist, a kidnapper, a child abuser and someone who is a murderer in their home nation in we just put them back in with their families. is that fair or a deliberate excuse? >> you know, that's not the information that i got. and i have basically went straight to the coordinator of the entire southwest keys, and according to the information i got, and like i said, i have been there, they claim to be
4:10 pm
able to have all the information necessary and ready to go. and for whatever reason, it becomes somewhat out of their control as to how they go from here out i. there may be a miscommunication somewhere, but i felt i got a good answer from the executive director of southwest keys saying we are ready to go and ready to move on. but, they just, they are just waiting there in limbo. >> mayor martinez, secretary from hhs moments ago was on cnn, he said that the deliberate pace, i guess that's the wording here, is actually saving lives. and i wanted to play for you his jr justification and get your reaction. >> if we had not done this work, and done our work to do background checks on these individuals the children would have been reunited in exceedingly dangerous situations. i'm proud of the work we do, i
4:11 pm
believe we are saving kids lives here. >> do you buy that? >> well, no not at all. the problem is, we have been a after this situation, we know what we have here in brownsville and we are as concerned as anyone else. we are all parents and grandparents and my whole city council believes in the human aspect of the whole idea. so, you know, we don't think that's the case. again, unless someone is not being honest with us, the information that we have and we have been pretty diligent in trying pursue everything that we can to make sure that the kids are reunited with their moms. that is all. >> all right, mayor martinez, thank you for your time, thanks for coming back on the show. >> thank you. >> and i want to go to our senior political analyst, john, you just heard what the mayor said in brownsville, a marriage location and a lot of kids there much he is saying that he doesn't buy these excuses. and he thinks that what, that the delays we are seeing here
4:12 pm
are deliberate. he was careful with the words he used. do you think the administration has a real and specific plan to reunite the families and that they care about the deadlines in. >> i think they are struggling and scrambling to meet the deadlines, but it's been a fail to date. because, erin, we foe from t government's own lawyers that there was not a plan to reunify the kids. it's a combination of cruelty and callous, you heard theed aminute strag-- you heard the administration say that the delays are because they are trying ensure that no kids are released to rapists or traffickers. we all certainly agree with that goal. but the hhs's own press release said there were 27 kids, very specific, in a situation where there's been little specificity, 27 kids that are unlikely to be
4:13 pm
rey reunified, that is specific, what about the others, the remaining? their argument may be heartfelt, but it's designed to play on the heart strings. it's not playing out. it's about a policy of zero tolerance and still the president is still pushing. >> the numbers of course, mayor martinez, it does not add up to what he is seeing on the ground where he has 36 kids tonight under the age of 5 alone, and he said, almost a couple hundred in the 10-17 range. and this, john, it's important to understand, it's a nonpartisan issue, not just a human level, it's deep lly troubling, on a human level, there's republicans that are not happy with the handling of the issue. is this problem going to get bigger for the president? >> it's no sign that it's going to get smaller. they just blew past a deadline.
4:14 pm
the republicans have a political problem, and it's one rooted in values. there's one thing that unites us all it's the love for children, and that's how the mayor said, reunited their children with their mothers. that's a human problem. the republicans understand it and the only people that don't, are the people committed to a policy of zero tolerance no mat what are the judges say. >> thank you very much, and next, president trump about to come face to face with america's allies but that is not who he is looking forward to meeting. >> got to have putin. frankly putin may tb easiest of them all -- may be the easiest of them all. >> and the supreme court nominee, bracing for what will be a huge confirmation battle. ken starr has known judge cavanaugh for 26 years. and a woman berated because of wearing a puerto rico t-shirt.

4:19 pm
jong-un, that did not happen. and then pompeo, actually, you know was bringing the president, was bringing the rocket man cd from elton john, was supposed to be a light moment, he didn't meet, so bringing it back to the u.s. we have the former senior adviser to president obama's national security council. sam, starting with you. the reporting here, the trip went as badly as it could have gone. so, it's a stunning thing to tell a reporter, what do you make of it? >> i don't think that anybody disagrees with that assessment, even the north koreans said it was a disaster, they called it cancerous and regrettable. it does not surprise me that kim jong-un did not agree to meet with mike pompeo. because president trump himself met with kim jong-un a few weeks ago, i don't think that kim jong-un views pompeo as overly empowered. they are going to keep messing
4:20 pm
around and weighting time, while the united states falls behind security wise. we stopped the joint military exercises and have not levied sanctions. the north korean mission is advancing. >> steve, this is the question. pompeo came back with the rocket man cd, people laugh and say whatever. but he brought it because he thought it would be a light moment, and expected to see kim personally, he didn't get to, instead, kim was, i don't know if there were pictures of him coming out in khakis, maybe he was on a potato farm. did the administration get played? aaro -- >> erin, they did not get played. there's a lot of unknowns, we don't know if they are serious about denuclearizing the peninsula. but, what is known, since the maximum pressure has been exerted, he has stopped lobbying
4:21 pm
missiles in to the pacific ocean, that is a great thing for japan, the u.s. and hawaii. he returned the hostages, he has agreed to return war dead from korea. those are the knowns and achievements. do we have the big magnificent achievement, denuclearization, we dent know yet. >> the president said we did though, right? >> the realistic view, obama freed more hostages than trump. and promising to denuclearize has historically meant nothing from north korea. they have agreed to do it, and not done it again, and again, and again. there's proof that they have expanded facilities. why do you say we don't know if they are not serious. >> because he is not shooting missiles right now. that is a huge victory. >> he doesn't have to shoot them anymore, does he? >> we are not negotiating with
4:22 pm
italy or britain. we are negotiating with the most rogue regime on the planet. it's not a surprise that there's going to be ups and downs with the administration. you are relying on an unnamed sourcer that told cnn, x, y, z, you are relying on north korean ministry. mike pompeo, who i choose to believe. former congressman, consecutive of state, he said great progress was made. i choose to believe his version of what happened in north korea and we will see what happens from here. i am hopeful -- >> you don't find it troubling that he goes to a meeting with kim jong-un and he doesn't show up for the meeting? doesn't raise a red flag? >> he himself, secretary pompeo said great progress was made, and i take his word before i take an unnamed source or before i take the north korean foreign ministry's assessment. >> sam, i will give you the final word. >> i think we have to point out, are you takingpresident's word
4:23 pm
or mike pompeo. the president said mission accomplished. he said that the threat from north korea is gone. are you listening to the president of the united states or secretary pompeo. >> it is gone. he is not firing missiles in to the ocean. >> it's not gone. >> you have to do give -- the threat is not gone. he has not destroyed a single weapon. you are talking with intent. in terms of his ability the threat has not changed. >> you know, it's amazing to me, by the way. when the president goes and does something, that is monumental and it is really monumental, the fact that he for now, i'm not promising what he will do tomorrow, kim jong-un, he is crazy, who knows what he will do tomorrow. for now, he is acting like a responsible leader. you cannot give the president credit, even for that. >> that's not true. i will give the president credit -- >> in korea -- >> i will give the president credit for the fact that missiles are not flying. so, in the short-term, the
4:24 pm
threat of fork in the short-term is -- threat of north korea in the short-term is contained. it's not contained long-term, and our secretary of state just went and gave the north koreans a gift, a cd and the gift they gave us was public humiliation while they continue to proliferate weapons. >> that's not what he said, i believe him before i believe a unnamed source. >> he is a man of integrity. he has spin -- >> missiles are not flying. >> which is true for almost all the days during which they eventually did fly. i appreciate both of your time. president trump promises a supreme court pick will overturn

4:29 pm
processes in the next few weeks. >> silence when the question of democrats was asked, because there's no good answer to that key question. there's frankly no room for error republicans will likely need democrats to get cavanaugh on the court and they are not sure if they have them right now. someone who has known cavanaugh for 26 years, ken starr, he worked under starr when starr was the independent council leading the investigation in to then president, bill cl-- bill clint clinton. thank you so much, great to have you on. i know you have a close relationship with cavanaugh, you have remained in touch over the years. was he surprised that he got the final nod? >> no, i was pleased, because there was this sort of backlash saying well, he is in washington, d.c., and the usual kind of montra about the swamp,
4:30 pm
i was pleased and proud of the president for overcoming those kind of head wins, and looking at the record, which was just an extraordinary error, which i think speaks for itself. obviously we will have the confirmationer hearing. judgeated by the fact and there's many, one of my favorites is that justice kegan, recruits him to come teach at harvard law school. it suggests to me that he will be held in high respect bythe court once that i hope and pray he will be confirmed. >> have you spoken to him since the announcement? what is his reaction? >> no, no, i have not. he has been busy and rightly so. we saw what happened at the white house and the beauty of the family, i don't think he was able to coach his girls basketball team today. but other than that, i think he had a busy day and also, of
4:31 pm
course, he will need to be focusing on completing his work as a judge. so, he is a busy guy right now. >> and of course, he has got this confirmation hearing and we both know, everyone knows this is going to be a huge fight. before it was announced the senate majority leader mitch mcconnell, who is a fan of cavanaugh, made the case against him as a kois because -- him as a choice, pause of the ti-- bec the time working for you. democrats are saying they want every document and every e-mail and everything out there. is there anything in the documents had that could validate mcconnell's concerns that there's something in there? >> obviously i don't know the full reach of documents, brett cavanaugh has conducted himself, i'm confident, with integrity in each and every aspect of his public service. which is so distinguished, so, i do recall that the beauty of the
4:32 pm
nomination of david sutter many years ago now, is he has no paper trail. he will be the stealth candidate, you just don't know the philosophy of the person. and don't worry, he will not answer any questions at the moment in the confirmation hearing. i used to think that serves the interest of the court for american people. let's find those that have a distinguished record and he debate the record, it's a democracy, let's have a great conversation. and judge cavanaugh is not afraid of a conversation. he is a fabulous debater. he will -- i think, do well indeed. >> and he has an extensive trail as you point out, right? his opinions have been cited by the supreme court itself time and time again. this is a person who has a record that he is not afraid of. and that obviously leads me to the crucial issue here on the table. which is abortion. right? dana bash asked vice president mike pence about that today, and here is how he answered.
4:33 pm
>> and that was the focus -- well, i do. but i have not been nominated to the supreme court. >> all right, very open about his point of view, he has not been nominated but judge cavanaugh has and the president of the united states promised his voters, i mean it was a clear promise, right? i'm going to appoint somebody that will overturn roe v wade, here is president elect trump. >> i know you are opposed to abortion, how important is that issue to you now when president trump picks supreme court justices, is that a test? do you want to see the court overturn roe v wade? >> if we have perhaps two or three justices on, that's what will happen, it will happen automatically in my opinion. i'm putting pro-life justices on the court. i'm pro-life. the judges will be pro-life. >> that's really clear, ken. does judge cavanaugh know that,
4:34 pm
will he keep president trump's promise? >> he takes the oath and this, i'm confident of, treat each issue, including the most delicate issue with an open mind. he will also have great respect for precedent. he has said that, he has said it in various and sund-- and sundr statements that in the most controversial cases account. it's a huge factor to weigh in the balance. so, is there a litmus test for brett cavanaugh? there cannot be, he cannot have made and he will not have made a commitment on to vote in any particular way on any particular issue. why? because it would really be inconsistent with the integrity of the judicial process and frankly would be inconsistent with the oath to make a promise. this is the way i'm going to vote. this is not congress. >> you are saying, no promise on abortion and no promise on anything else? >> if i know brett cavanaugh and i do, he will not have promised
4:35 pm
to vote in a particular way. he will as i'm sure you will hear time and time again say, i will listen to any position within reason. and i will listen to it respectfully and there's the other thing, he is one vote and there's a process, you are in the room as a supreme court justice, just yourselves, you do not have staff giving you guidance or direction. it's the nine men and women that were chosen to serve in this very important function and that in itself is a weighty consideration to listen to your colleagues, respectfully, brett will do that. >> another concern out there, about cavanaugh, of course, that he he may have to end up ruling on disputes over the mueller investigation. and cavanaugh weighed in on the situation before there was a mueller investigation. he wrote in the minnesota law review, congress may consider a law exempting a president while in office from criminal prosecution and investigation including from questioning by criminal prosecutors or defense
4:36 pm
council, criminal investigations targeted at or revolving around a president are politicized. does judge cavanaugh, ken, think president trump is imimmune from prosecution? >> i don't know what he thinks. however, i would be surprised if that were his view. when i read that law view article as saying congress should consider this. that it's a policy question. it's not -- it's not for the supreme court to decide such an issue and grant immunity, we think it's a good idea because it's difficult for the president to carry on the very important duties with a criminal investigation under way. i happen the to agree with that proposition. it's very difficult. it's one of those, this is a shame for the president to be deflected this way. and yes, i was in charge of the white water investigation. so, i saw it. it is very, very disruptive. but that's the role of
4:37 pm
congresses to the say, you know, let's have a time-out. that of course is what president clinton argued in the civil context, and but the supreme court rejected it 9-0, so the court has spoken, and essentially has turned it back and i think that is what judge cavanaugh was saying. during the obama aed minute strag -- during the obama administration, he is saying, here is a principal of gomgovernment, he the burden on the president, it's up to congress, not him. >> should he, because he wrote that, and it's now an issue that could come before his court if he is of course, you know, gets through the confirmation process, recuse himself if there's anything related to the mueller investigation that comes in front of the supreme court, because president trump of course -- >> i don't think by virtue of a law review article. it's not a case, it's a article. and he is sumply raising a
4:38 pm
policy -- he is simply raising a policy issue which thoughtful judges do all the time, if their writings and lectures, the question is, sitting as a judge, did he say anything that would suggest and here's the key. has he somehow prejudged the issue and i don't read the article as coming close to prejudging an issue, and the constitutional right of the president to avoid a criminal investigation. it's again, an issue for congress. >> all right, thank you very much, ken starr, i appreciate your time, sir. >> you are very welcome, thank you. >> and next, breaking news an alarming development about your personal information and whether it been accessed by a massive russian company with close ties to vladimir putin. facebook, again, at the heart of it. plus, an american woman, relent al -- relentlessly harassed, she was wearing a shirt with puerto rico on it. >> why is she is wearing the

video of a man repeatedly harassing a woman. this happened at a park in chicago, and the reason was, well, she was wearing a t-shirt that said puerto rico on it. >> you're not going to change us, you know that? >> i'm not trying to change anyone. i'm just trying to come here for a birthday party. >> the world is not going to change the united states of america. >> okay, okay. >> you should not be wearing that in the united states of america. >> okay. >> are you a citizen? >> yes, i am a citizen risks you a united states citizen? >> can you please get away me? >> you should not be wearing. you should be wearing united states of america. >> officer, officer, i feel highly uncomfortable. can you please grab him? >> are you an american citizen? i'm an american citizen. >> officer? >> i would like to know is she an american citizen? why is she wearing that shirt? >> as you can see, the police are not even -- he's not even
4:50 pm
grabbing him, like this guy is just walking up to me. he basically got in my face, damn near almost touched me. this is what i'm wearing, guys. this is what i'm wearing. >> all right. as you can see there, the police officer stands by and doesn't do anything. the man in the video has now been identified as timothy tribus. police say he is facing assault and disorderly conduct charges. "outfront" now the governor of puerto rico. governor, thank you so much for your time tonight. i appreciate it. when you first saw that video, what went through your head? >> i was -- i was shocked, appalled and disgusted. and erin, you know, i want to talk as the governor of puerto rico, not only the ones on the island, but all of the puerto ricans in the united states and address this attack of an american citizen on another american citizen. this is not an immigration issue. it's an issue of education.
4:51 pm
it's an issue of civil rights, and it's an issue of basic human dignity. puerto ricans have been part of the united states. we've been fighting wars with other fellow americans. we're proud u.s. citizens. people need to understand that. secondly, it's a civil rights issue because the people, the u.s. citizens that live in puerto rico don't have the same rights as those that live in the united states. and this has opened that discussion. lastly, it doesn't matter that it's puerto rican, if it's mexican, canada, anybody. it's just a matter of basic human dignity how you can treat another human being that way is just not acceptable. >> and governor, we have all seen the video, the police officer standing by, right? the woman in a very calm way asked for help. he ignores her. second, third time. and when finally someone stepped in to help her, it was actually not even the police officer. let me play that excerpt.
4:52 pm
>> can you please get away from me? can you please get away from me? can you please get away from me. >> puerto rico is an american state. >> it is? >> yes, they are. they vote for our president. >> get away. >> governor, why do you think the police officer didn't help the woman? >> i don't know. that is -- to me, it's just unacceptable behavior. you know, as i was watching that video, i was wondering if it was going to escalate even further. i mean, anything could have happened there. and the officer clearly did not intervene to de-escalate the situation. there is an investigation ongoing. i spoke to the president of cook county to ask her how the investigation is going and demand that this gets full resolution. to me it's just not acceptable behavior. the police officer clearly did not comply with his duties, and we have to wait until the person
4:53 pm
that actually intervened was the lady's brother. so we have to wait only until that moment to see that there was actually someone. >> so, governor, we've seen incidents like this. they're not isolated, right? there was a 91-year-old mexican man. he was visiting family in california. he was beaten with a brick, told, quote to go back to mexico. we've all seen the video of the new york city lawyer demeaning spanish speaking restaurant employees. do you think the president of the united states needs to speak out about this incident that we're just seeing and to say something, to say that this is not acceptable? >> i mean, i think we all need to speak out about this. this is not the america that we believe in. our shield says out of many, one. this is clearly a demonstration against that. we need to have this conversation about basic decency
4:54 pm
and human dignity, and how we treat others. if they're other american citizens, if they're not citizens, if they're immigrants, people need to treat other people decently. and what we're seeing with this occasion is that that is not occurring. everybody needs to speak out. it is in everybody's best interests for us to have that open america. >> governor rossello, i appreciate your time. thank you so much. >> thank you. and next, the amazing story of the day. those 12 boys are rescued. they're out of the cave, and their coach is too. but their road to recovery is just beginning, and we're going to tell you exactly why and where. all the fun? not us. because southwest has $69 one-way sale fares for travel throughout september and october. so you can fill the rest of your year with amazing trips. from football games to reunions, or just a break from the office. these $69 one-way sale fares are ready to make your september and october

4:58 pm
depth of his relief and gratitude. all he wants to do is embrace his son. >> translator: i want to hug him. i want to hug him and i want to tell him that i'm happy. after 18 days of fear and uncertainty, all 12 boys and their coach are now back above ground in an isolation unit in the hospital, and relatively healthy. the cave systems here are complex, winding labyrinths, jagged, uneven and unpredictable. we accessed a similar cave nearby. it's a sheer drop back down in here, and you really get a sense of appreciation of just how elaborate and challenging these cave systems are. when we were talking to one of the divers, he was saying that the narrowest part they have to go through in this rescue mission is about 80 centimeters, so two and a half feet wide. that's approximately the size of this opening. and they have to try to navigate
4:59 pm
that while underwater. when you get back here, it's really narrow. this is stagnant water. it's not moving through. and it probably is nowhere as murky as what it is the divers and the boys are going to have to go through. but if we dunk into the water with a light and try to replicate the visibility or lack thereof, we were told it was about a foot. it's our pride. it's a mission possible by the team thailand who made it happen. the thai mission commander stated, i want this to be the country's model in dealing with disasters. it was nothing short of a miracle. for those involved in the rescue, their toughest mission to date. the boys and their coach will still have to recover physically and psychologically. but they will do that with the support not only of their families, but from people both here and across the globe.
5:00 pm
and erin, so many people who hadn't even met these boys before were coming up to us and saying how for the first time they are going to be able to sleep well tonight. that is how deeply this story impacted everybody, erin. >> and thank you, arwa. thanks to all of you also for joining us. we'll see you tomorrow. "ac 360" starts now. good evening. 102 of the youngest migrant children who were taken at the border were supposed to be reunited with their parents by tonight. however, that's what a federal judge ordered two weeks ago. it's what the man responsible for holding those kids once suggested could be accomplished with just a few computer key strokes. tonight even as his agency is saying it will fail to meet that court-imposed deadline, that same official, hhs secretary alex azar said the government did many of these kids a favor by taking
