motorrow night here in the situation room. our week long series, very important, america crumbles. thanks very much for watching. i'm wolf blitz ner the situation room. follow me on twitter on instagram @wolf blitzer between are tweet at cnn sit room. erin burnett outfront starts right now. outfront next, president trump about to formally launch his 2020 campaign as new polls show some issues for trump, senator bernie sand ertz saying he is the best candidate to take on the president is outfront this evening. plus the president's nominee for defense secretary out, nod derailed amid shocking refrmgss of defect violence. did the president not know? and a photographer comes face to with a gunman as he shoots up a building. what made him take pictures instead of running the other way? let's go outfront. good evening, i'm erin burnett outfront be, the breg news president trump about to formally launch his 2020

campaign. these are pictures live from orlando where already the trump family is taking stage. eric trump and don junior have just spoken. vice president pence about to peek. everybody there. in moments trump will join them addressing a revved up crowd. trump picking florida as a must win battleground state. he only carried it by a percentage point in 2016. tonight he trails some of the top democratic candidates in florida. quinnipiac showing joe biden leads 51 to 41%. bernie sanders 48 to 42. elizabeth warren, 47 to 43 just outside the horjen of err are. the others within it. before the president left for orlando he spoke about to want's event. >> i'm going town down as you no he to a very big crowd down in florida, orlando. >> katlyn collins travel with the president. she is outfront in orlando right now. there you are getting ready for

the president to come to the podium and the president. why florida? >> well, erin, as you noted this is a state near and dear to the president, essentially his second home. but also knows this is a state he has to win to win in to 2020. and the president judging by what our sources tell us is rattled by the polls showing him trailing people like joe biden in states like florida. that's why you see the campaign pick this as what they are calling the launch of their re-election bid, even though of course the president has been running for office since the day he was inaugurated. they're billing in as something new. they've had concerts going on outside during the day. there have been people lined up since yesterday. and even almost has this convention like feel with all the president's family coming out on stage here tonight before he does. and especially the vice president mike pence as well. but erin, the question is what is the president going to say tonight as he makes his case to voters for why they should put him in office for four more

years. to give you a hint what he is going to say, it could be the same playbook he used in 2016. that's judging from what the president was tweeting overnight when he threatened to deport millions of undocumented immigrants starting next week. even though his administration wasn't able to give a lot of details on that. so the president is coming here hoping in the recent weeks as there's been tension in the campaign over the leaked polls to be kpfrted by in arena full of 20,000 of his chanting supporters. >> all right, katlyn thank you very much. and now i want to go to democratic candidate bernie sanders. senator, i appreciate your time tonight. the president getting ready to go on stage in orlando, launch his campaign. you're planning to deliver a live response to his event tonight. what will you say? >> well, i'm going to make a guess. and maybe i am wrong. but here is what my guess is in terms of what the president will not talk about tonight. i have the feeling he is not going to talk about the fact that he tried to throw 32

million americans off of the health care they have. he is not talking about the fact that in his recent budgets he made -- he proposed massive cuts to medicare, medicaid and to social security. he probably won't talk about his tax reform bill where he promised the american people that it would not benefit the wealthy and in fact 83% of the benefits over a 10-year period go to the top 1%. let me make another prediction. he bet he doesn't talk about chime change which the scientific kmount calls the greatest threat facing our planet. those are things he won't talk about. what he will talk about i'm sure are undocumented people in this country and demagogue this issue. >> and those are the issues you folk on later tonight. look, i don't know if you heard the reporting there, senator. part of the reason he is in florida is because he likes going there a lot. but he is concerned about the

apology data there we know he cares deeply about polls. watching them closely whether he admits it or not. and he is losing in florida, acre to the quinnipiac poll to you, joe biden. joe biden talked about polls today. he said, quote there is a target on my back, referring to other democrats. is that fair? are you aiming for joe biden right now? >> not a target on anybody's back. i think the good news is that virtually all of the recent national polls has biden and myself way ahead of president trump, in some cases double digits. and i think that's good. but, you know, this is -- this is a long, long time before an election. we shouldn't put too much credibility into polls. but i think trump understands and he is panicking a little bit, that he is in trouble, his agenda his personality, his racism and sexism, overall bigotry is not what the american

people feel comfortable with. >> senator warren as you know has been rising in the police debting a lot of notice. in the florida poll you and she are locked close second. you are at 14. she is at 12. biden advisers tell cnn they are keeping an eye on her rise. but they think it's coming -- her rise is from you. every point she gets comes out of your number, not his number. is warren's gain coming at your experience? erin, you sound like somebody in the media. you know, this is not to me what's important. i'm going to run my campaign. senator warren will run her campaign. and i think what the evidence will show is that "i" in fact the strongest candidate to defeat trump. i think we can win big in michigan and wisconsin, in pennsylvania, and i think we'll win because the issues that we are fighting for, issues that the working families of this country will respond to. i oppose many of these disastrous trade policies.

i oppose the war in iraq. i oppose the wall street balanceout and i think people in the midwest and all over the country agree with me. >> what i'm curious -- the reason i asked the question, though, is that i'm wondering whether you think there is a cap on support fro the progressive left. >> themt -- that's a fair question. and -- but let me respond in this which. i think often the media gets it wrong. if you are a working person and you are working longer hours for lower wages, and you can't afford prescription drugs. you can't afford to send your kid to college. you are worried about your parents or you're worried your retirement, are you necessarily a liberal or progressive? you're not. you're just one of the majority of american people living paycheck to paycheck. who are really str struggling in in economy. so i think, you know, my universe of support are the vast

majority of working people who are getting screwed over by the economy. the truth is that for the last 45 years the average american today has not seen a nicol more in real wages than he or she got 45 years ago. that's pretty crazy. meanwhile there's a massive transfer of wealth from the working families of the country to the top 1%. you don't have to be liberal or progressive to understand that. all you understand and see in the richest country in the world you are entitled to a decent stad of living. >> you said you are talking about immigration. he is going to be talking about immigration tonight as well in a different ways. you called the threat today to threatening to deport millions of undocumented immigrants which he says next week. is outrageous. i wanted to talk about somethng you share something in common with. alexandria ocasio-cortez. she talked about the detention of migrants at the border

particularly where people are being housed. this is how she described it. >> the united states is running concentration camps on our southern border. and that is exactly what they are. they are concentration camps. >> senator, you have talked about how your father's flam was wiped out in the holocaust. six million jews killed in the host call. gas chambers. are you comfortable calling the detention of migrants on the mexican border concentration camps. >> i didn't use that terminology. again i have a lot of respect for alexandria. she is doing a fantastic job. what i will tell you is that we are locking up children in deplorable conditions. keeping kids in conditions for weeks where places are not meant for kids. the children are trauma advertised.

we need kprens immigration reform needing to deal with the 1.8 million people in daca and move them towards duplicates. >> you don't use the word concentration camps. >> i have not used that word. >> before we go, senator, i want to ask you about iran which i know you are speaking out on. you said earlier today you don't accept the administration's claim was iran was behind the attacks on the two oil tankers. >> what i said -- what i said is that this -- that attacks on ail tankers need to be thoroughly investigated. and that's what we need. i also said -- and repeat right now -- that the worst foreign policy errors in the modern history of this country came when -- during -- when we got into the war in vietnam when we were lied to. the american people were lied to about the so-called gulf of tonkin and lied to about weapons of mass destruction in iraq. and the american should be very

careful about taking anybody's point of view in terms of about iran. >> i completely hear your point. i'm just curious, because obviously, you know, pomp yoep said the cia concluded that. and there's been nothing to refute that they concluded that. the cia also of course concluded that the saudi crown prince was responsible directly for the murder of jamaul khashoggi. do you think that one deserves investigation like the president is doing? or do you the accept cia in one case and not the other? >> erin, what does the owner -- the japanese owner of tanker say. >> they say not enough evidence produced by the u.s. >> that's the owner of the tanker. i don't know that they have any particular motive for coming up with that position. they don't agree with what trump said. all i'm saying is you need an independent investigation. this is what i will also say. is that i happen to believe that if the united states went to war against iran, attacked iran, it would be in horrific mistake.

it would make the war in iraq look like a cake walk. and i will do everything i can to prevent that war, within and b we need the american people to tell trump he does not have the constitutional authority to go to war. that is the responsibility of the congress, not any president. >> all right. senator sanders, i appreciate your time. thank you very much. >> thank you. >> and next trump's nominee for defense secretary resigning amidst revelations of violent domestic incidents. why is this all coming to light now? plus anthony scar muchy outfront does he believe it's okay to chastise the chief of staff on camera for coughing? >> let's do that over he is coughing in the middle of my answer. i don't like that. >> and the president threatening raids deportation for millions of undocumentinged immigrants next we can. why didn't he bother to tell the people who would be doing the raids about it? hi. maria ramirez!

mom! maria! maria ramirez... mcdonald's is committing 150 million dollars in tuition assistance, education, and career advising programs... prof: maria ramirez mom and dad: maria ramirez!!! to help more employees achieve their dreams. mom and dad: maria ramirez!!! what sore muscles? what with advpounding head? .. advil is... relief that's fast. strength that lasts. you'll ask... what pain? with advil.

new tonight, shocking details of domestic violence involving patrick shanahan's family derailing his nomination for secretary of defense. he dropped out of consideration and resigning as acting defense secretary. amid disturbing refrlgs nas his son beat his mother with a baseball bat. drew griffin is outfront. >> just days ago, as questions swirled about delays with his fbi background check, patrick shanahan seemed confident he would become secretary of defense. >> i'm in contact with the white

house don't know whether the paperwork expects to have the process completed here shortly. and right now as you can see kind of focused on doing the job. >> today with a tweet president trump announced shanahan was done. >> he said it's going to be a rough time for him. >> allegations of domestc violence between shanahan, his ex-wife and their son derailed his nomination. shanahan's terrible divorce dragged on more than five years. a story of a troubled family spelled out in hundreds of pages of court documents. a 2010 incident at their home would be the last time the husband and wife ever spoke shanahan's ex-wife told cnn. according to seattle police kim berlg shanahan said patrick struck her several times in the stomach. but the officer noted patrick in a black eye and bloody nose and kimberly had no injuries consistent with her version of being assaulted. police arrested kimberly shawn

and on assault charges that night. her husband requested the charges be dropped. in another violent episode in 2011 it was one of the couple's sons involved in a baseball bat attack against his own mother leaving her with a bloody head wound. fractures elbow, fractured skull and ultimate strikes to the torso. kimberly shanahan says in court documents, patrick shanahan excused the behavior of their son, saying mr. shanahan has taken the position that i proskd the assault. nachkt, patrick shanahan did send a memo about the incident to his ex-wife's brother saying that his son acted in self-defense and that will's mother harassed him for nearly three hours before the incident. she fueled the situation by berating him repeated lid in his rom. shanahan later said in court filings that he wrote that to help plan for his son's legal defense. there is no excuse for what will did to his mother. will's actions were unquestionably wrong but i am his father and love him

unconditionally. shanahan who thanked his hearing during his confirmation hearing as defense zbleekt liked to acknowledge my three children who accompanied me here today. kayla, will and jack seated bhind me. >> today says it's bus of them he pulled his name out. he wrote a statement saying i believe my continuing in the confirmation process would force my three children to relive a traumatic chapter in our family's live and reopened wounds we have worked years to heal. >> and erin, kimberly shanahan who goes by kimberly jodien snn said that apgts only recently came to the home and asked about the domestic violence. cnn found no evidence that patrick shanahan abused his ex-wife. she arrested in seattle in 2010 for assaulting her husband. charges dropped. arrested again in 2014. charged with smashes a former

business partner with a sledge hammer wasn't convicted. and two of three children say their mother is abusive abviolent and abused alcohol and drugs. kimberly jordan siff says not true and tells me her family lies about her. >> draung, drew. now david gergen adviser to four presidents. this is terrible in many awful ways. shanahan's son charged with two felonies. and just to be clear, so people understand the severity of this he faces up to 15 years in prison. the judge in fact wouldn't release him out of custody saying the crime scene pictures where he bet his mother so viciously were horrendous. that's the word from the judge. shanahan of course defended his son at the time. now says that nothing could excuse that. how is it possible gnat senate did not know the details? >> i don't think it is possible. well, first of all, i think we all share in feeling great sympathy for the members of the

family, especially that this might come public. but the story doesn't add up that so far -- listen when his name was put up for deputy secretary, that launched an investigation of his background. he had to go threw a background check. they would have gone through divorce records and everything else. so there were people who began to know -- and it's also obvious that the people who knew started sitting on it. we don't know who they are. there are rumors about hemiwho knew things on the hill and sat on it. but today the president said he learnedfare the first time yesterday. that's either a huge lie or represents gross mismanagement in the white house or perhaps both. >> so let me ask you about that. because an administration official told us that shanahan was fully vetted and the would you say was aware of the defect abuse allegations but not every detail. to your point president trump was asked about it today. and shanahan -- here is what he

said. >> i had heard about it yesterday for the first time. i didn't know about it. i had heard about it yesterday. and it's -- it's very unfortunate. >> to your point, for that to be true, it would mean that people at the white house whatever they knew didn't share with the president, or the president is lying. >> exactly. and frankly it's just impossible to believe they wouldn't bring it to him. this is not the first time they've gone through violence and domestic relations in which they haven't picked up on it and done something about it. you know, the red flags would start flying immediately once you started looking at this file. i have to believe they started talking to the president about it. he doesn't let anything go in there that's of importance not go by him. i have to believe he did it i don't know why he lies about it. you but he left his staff looking like why the hell didn't you tell him? which did you not tell him?

what about other people -- the washing pz found a lot of details and published them much more rapidly than people studying this for six months. >> something about it doesn't add up. thank you very much. >> it does not add up. >> david gergen. >> thank you. >> much more to come on that as we find out who knew what we. and. and the president about to launch the 2020 campaign. the theme promises made, promised kept. what about this one. >> i promise we're building the wall. and mexico will pay for the wall. i promise. >>ing andly scaramucci is outfront. and jeanne on president trump reading list. >> which book. >> the his current book- dsh just his current it's just out. >> (paul) great.

that's orlando. one source telling cnn that trump sees this as a chance to reset the race. supporters trying to fire up the about ais in a state he won about 1% in 2016, about 112,000 votes as tight as it can get there. will that be enough to overcome exacts who are determined to turn florida blue again? ed lavandera on the ground there. >> honk that horn. >> the 2020 presidential election is about a year and a half away and melody vincent is celebrating president trump's recent birthday leading cheers on a street corner. it's never too early to fire up the base. >> i am a trumper. trump has come in and stepped up when he didn't have to for free and saved our country. >> vincent was one of several dozen trump supporters who turned out to generate a happy hour honking frenzy in this intersection of the village's enclave north of orlando. it's a good place to take the

temperature of the trump faithful who sound just like the president's twitter feed. >> look at what he has done for the economy. and the last two and a half years he has done more than any president in my lifetime. >> the villages is a sprawling retirement community where more than 115,000 retirees now live. and republicans outnumber democrats by more than 2 to one. it's called a disney world for adults where the hot wheels of choice are golf carts. and evening end with concerts on the square. mike peacock run as golf cart rental business. he says he sees neighbors talking trump every night and says support for the president is stronger than ever. any love what most of the president's detractors despise. >> i like him because he is sarcastic and i'm the same way. >> the devotion to president trump is so intense here that a recent meeting of the village republicans started out with a prayer asking god to, quote, deliver president trump from the

evil that is bent on destroying him. if you worry that president trump's divisiveness, his lies, will hurt him in the long run. >> i don't think so because you can't -- you'd str to what he lied about first of all. i don't think he lied about anything. and as far as. >> you don't think he lied about anything. >> no. >> democrats organized in protest rally a few blocks away from where president trump is hosting his re-election campaign kickoff. west hodge is the chairman of the orange county exactic party in orlando. he says trump's divisiveness is waking up a new wave of voters. >> i think there is more excitement on our side because people now understand that every single vote is going to matter, and that we -- some people were like no he can't win in 2006. now that we have seen what's happened people are energized like never before. >> a new quinnipiac university poll shows early signs of potential trouble for trump in florida.

in the poll, the president trails joe biden, bernie sanders and elizabeth warren in this crucial battleground state. while three other exactic hopefuls are running next ack a neck. >> maria moved to orlando from puerto rico after hurricane maria. she dismisses the intensity of support from trump's base and argues florida is shifting away from the president. >> it's not acceptable what's going on in the trump administration especially for minorities, for puerto ricans. that's why we are here today. >> and erin, if you talk polls with any trump supporter they will tell you they are incredibly dismissive of anything that shows president trump behind in any kind of polls. they look back to 2016 and like to claim that none of the polls were right back thb. and they don't think so far they are showing what they see on the ground out here, erin. >> thank you very much, ed lavandera. and now, former white house

communications director anthony scaramucci and anthony, look. obviously you are joining us -- everyone should see because i see the background from rome tonight where they watch in race as closely as we are. but florida a crucial swing state, the president there of course he won it by a percentage point. ed points out rightly, fox news and everybody else's polls did not show that on the eve of the election. nonetheless, the president is looking at polls now that show him losing to joe biden and bernie sanders handily. how worried are you about democratic enthusiasm for turnout in florida? >> well, listen, i think we would all accept it's very early. and we could point to people like howard dean that had huge leepds at this point appear and so on and so forth. i am more worried than i would be in 2016 because the president is not a novelty anymore and he is running on a track record. i've often said on this network and other networks what the

president is doing has been astounding. he has a great economic record to run on. how he sometimes does it, however, i think is creating a head edw head wind. what i'm hoping is he goes back to the state of the union address, that sort of communication style, erin. and use that is over the next six to nine months. i think that would help him a great deal. because it would calm people down tp. for me right now i would say it's early. but he is no longer a new entity like he was in 2016. >> all right. and now nationally there is a fox poll which is interesting because when he tweets about that he is talking about he is confused by it whereas anybody else it's fake news but it's fox and he didn't want to call it and in the fox poll he trails joe biden by 9%. bernie sander by 9 within the margin of error against elizabeth warren and pete buttigieg. he pretends his internal polls

don't show him losing key states. but they do show that. and he has been clear he loves polls and everything else he ignores. >> i love the polls when he they're good. now if they're no good i don't report them. the los angeles times has us 6 points up nationwide. good poll. if it weren't i wouldn't tell but it i promise. >> if we're doing badly i don't know about it. no, it's true. when we do badly i don't know about polls, right. but when we do well i know about polls. >> okay. laughing aside, do you think he realizes that he has had head winds and needs to start moving? >> i do. and i would say he had head winds four years ago when he launched the campaign and 22 points behind jeb bush. yeah he absolutely has head winds. the reason i'm laughing is like steve jobs and most entrepreneurs they create this

reality distortion peeled around themselves and tri to will themselves to the reality they want. in the case of the president last time there was a lot of mixed polls, erin. we know that. maybe the l.a. times had a good poll and rasmussen had a good one. but there were a lot of polls leading up to election day. i think the president is going to pick and choose the police that he likes. that's obvious. he did that before. but the question is, will he be able to turn things on in a way and close the gap in the polls that you're looking at on the police i'm looking at. i predict he will because he has a strong competent to run on. >> one thing though he is running on right and the whole thing is promises made and kept. certainly plenty of those. one of the first and biggest and often made to the entire country that nobody could forget is this one. >> i will build a great, great wall. on our southern border and i will have mexico pay for that wall mark my words. >> i promise we're building the

wall. and mexico will pay for the wall. i promise. >> in the end mexico is paying for the wall. they're going to pay for the wall and they're going to enjoy it, okay. >> does he think not keeping that promise actually helps him? >> as a rallying call. >> well, i would -- i would say that he -- he would look at it probably -- i think part of the narrative will be that he has been trying to keep that promise and you may remember prior to the mid-terms he was trying to cut a deal on the dreamersers, the daca situation to get border funding for the ball. that have came from the united states and the taxpayers of course. i think it's pennsylvania hard promise for him to keep. but i think he can go down a list of things and unfortunately he is in the political world now. and a lot of things that you sometimes promise you can't quite meet. but there is a whole list of promises erin he has been alk to keep. one of them is wage growth. you have- -- interesting

situation, you have real gdp growth, very low inflation. but for the bottom 10% of earners you have a 5.5 o 4% wage increase since becoming president. i hope he runs on that that's the right narrative. you're right i'll cede that to you he hasn't been able to make that promise. but threw there are others he has been coming in on which his base like. >> i appreciate the fact nay coughed and you didn't try to end the interview. there was a moment the other day where the president was doing an interview and his chief of staff started coughing. and well here is what happened. >> but at some pinpoint i hope they get it because it's a phenomenal -- 80s fantastic financial statement. it's a fantastic financial statement. and -- let's do that over. he is coughing in the middle of my answer. >> yeah, okay. >> i don't like that. >> your chief of staff. >> if you got to cough please leave the room. >> i'll come over here. >> just -- you just can't. >> just to change the shot.

>> sorry. >> and no doubt you have seen his facial expression. okay does behavior like that from him from the top tell -- send a message about how he treats people? or how others should treat people or do you not have any concern? >> i -- well, listen, i sort of think it's unfair. every one of us have been temperamental from time to time. there is a scene where bill clinton is yelling at an aide 20 years ago. we know president obama sometimes lost his temper. i think it's very unfair to pick and choose these -- he clearly caught on camera. we're in the world of social media now. many of us have said things they regretted saying, myself included especially, erin. but what happens in the social media and our fish bowl. -- and the white house isn't even a fish bowl it's a full blown aquarium. they taulgts him frustratedis a total germphobia. i seen it full picture god forebode you like your turning and touch something on the desk.

he was upset. but i don't think people look at that and say okay high stress job. >> but should he talk to the chief of staff like that putting aside jokes about germs i'm sure nick mulvaney covered his mouth. >> in that -- in that setting, no -- dsh i understand that, erin. i would i would say in that setting many of us that worked with him and know the whole germphobia thing. some of that is an act on his part and the frustration he gives you. i hear you. it's a bad look for the president process. but at the end of the day i enjoyed working for him. many people enjoy working for him. but in a jb like that injury it's impossible to secretary a person to have zero defects and no frustration at any time. but i -- i do see that. but i would challenge people listening to the show or people in your control room, have they never lost their temper about something. my guess is they probably have. >> yes, i just hope it wouldn't be someone coughing in the middle of the interof across the

room who is supposed to be your right hand person. thank you anthony. >> good news i'm about 8,000 miles away so i can't get any of your germs. >> believe me you wouldn't want them. believe me. thank you. and next president trump says he is starting to deport millions next we can. what will cities do if he follows throughen oh the threat? the mayor of oakland who had running feud on immigration with trump is outfront. a photographer who ran towards shots of a gunman is speaking out. >> if he saw me sitting is there a camera i have no doubt he would have shot me.

new tonight, president trump doubling down on the promise to start mass deportation of millions next week. even though a senior immigration official tells cnn there are no plans to do so. >> griming officials say they don't know anything about a planned round up of millions of people next week. >> they know. they know. and they're starting next week. and when people come in in our country and come in illegally they have to go out. and everybody seeing that. >> outfront now the mayor of oakland libby schaff and i appreciate your time, mayor good to have you back on the show. the president doubling down saying he is doing this, round up of millions of people do you think he follows through on the threat? >> well, erin, it's just more of

his ruthless, reckless and racist behavior. and this kind of mass rounding up of people is where civil liberties get violated. this administration's continued cruelty, separating families, placing children in cages, that is not my america. and i find it deeply disturbing. and i know that my residents here in oakland share that view. >> so oakland is a sanctuary city. what will you do if the president goes through with his plan? >> well, in the past i have warned my residents. but obviously the president has done that for me. so i don't need to do that in this case. but my message is to not panic but to be prepared. everyone should know their rights and their responsibilities. and that is kind of the message for everyone. in president continues to try

and distract us with his fear amongering, divisive rhetoric. and we need to hold him accountable for fixing what is clearly a broken immigration system. >> as you say you don't need to warn your residents because he has already, obviously he has essentially announced an operation. last year, though, he came out aggressively against you threatened to prosecute you for doing the same thing in oakland. here he is. >> how about the mayor of oakland? where she tells 1,000 people to get going, law enforcement is coming to get you. and this was all planned. and many of them scattered. what she did is incredible and very dangerous from the standpoint of i.c.e. and border patrol. very dangerous. i mean, you talk about obstruction of justice, i would recommend that you look into obstruction of justice for the mayor of oakland, california, jeff. >> so mayor, now he is doing what he did, announcing plans to deport people who are here

illegally. is he being hypocritical. >> i find it a little ironic. but he is getting ready to announce the re-election bid. clearly he is trying to whip up his base at the expense of good peaceful citizens and communities like mine that prize ourselves on our diversity, inclusion. and let me be clear, being a sanctuary city is fully legal. we are not breaking laws, not impeding the federal government. we are just using our local resources where we think it's much more appropriate. >> all right, so that's a fair point. i want to ask you about what a senior administration official -- senior immigration official i'm sorry, mayor schaff told us today. saying there is no operation next week to pick up millions contradicting the president. but adds there are tent i have plans for an operation next month in ten cities. and they specified that the operations would be to pick up

families who didn't show up to scheduled immigration hearings. and have removal orders, right that they have ignored. so my question for you is, do you think it's wrong to pick up an entire family and deport them if they skipped the hearing, didn't show up and have removal orders they ignored? >> we have a system of laws and we have to have a functional immigration system. but we really aren't exercising what should be, for example, political asylum exceptions, true due process, if we don't provide representation for these families. when you are a mayor, you live in your community. you know these individuals. their children go to school with your children. you sit next to them in church. you might remember the story of the incredible emergency room nurse at our public hospital who also worked with cancer patients and heart patients for decades trying to get her legal status.

but unsuccessful. and happily was able to return now under an h 1 v visa only because she got the attention that got her support she needed. again, we say we have a fair and just immigration system. we have ample evidence to show we don't. while we have the broken system we cannot terrorize good people that have been living in our communities, contributing and really don't deserve to be ripped from their families, ripped out of the communities that they've called home. we need to fix this system, not use it as political volleyball. >> all right. mayor schaff thank you very much. and next the newspaper photographer who captured in chilling photo speaks out. 00 series mower. built to mow better, faster.
