we can only imagine what the next year will bring for these families and for this community as there are still so many investigations under way and so much, so much that we still yet don't know. these families are not going to stop fighting. they'll keep fighting for that information to come out. >> i'm alex marquardt. erin burnett "outfront" starts now. next, a federal judge ordering the release of a redacted affidavit used to justify the fbi search of trump's mar-a-lago. the release of that crucial document could happen at any moment. plus, first on cnn, trump's inner circling questioning the competence of the former president's legal team as concerns grow over the influence of one particular conservative legal voice. why? biden's victory lap. we're standing by to hear from the president live, his most significant political speech of the midterms as democrats gain

more momentum in key states. let's go "outfront." good evening, i'm tammy baldwin in for erin burnett. out front tonight, all eyes on the doj. a federal judge ordering the justice department to release the redacted affidavit used to justify the fbi search of trump's mar-a-lago home. the release could happen anytime between now and noon tomorrow. search warrant affidavits typically contain pretty crucial information, like why investigators want to search a property and what potential crimes they're looking for. judge bruce reinhart is ordering the affidavits' release, agreeing with the justice department that certain portions of the document should remain sealed. this is how he put it. quote, disclosure would reveal the identities of witnesses, law enforcement agents, and uncharged parties. the investigation strategy, direction, scope, sources, and methods, and grand jury information. so now the question remains -- what will the doj reveal, and

what will it tell us about the investigation into the sensitive material that was taken from mar-a-lago? this comes as we're also learning there is growing concern inside trump's inner circle that the former president's legal team is outmatched. sources tell cnn the former president is turning to outside legal advice, including advice from judicial watch's tom fitten, an ally that is clearly telling the president exactly what he wants to hear. >> trump should get every single document they took from him back. >> they're all personal records. >> we'll have more on the concerns about trump's legal team coming up. but first, i want to get to cnn's evan perez live in washington for us tonight. evan, i know you've been speaking to your source at the department of justice about this. what more are you learning? >> reporter: kate, the justice department could -- that see ability to release this document right now. the judge obviously took the document that they submitted in court and said this is the version that is okay to release

to the public. we're not getting any signs from the justice department that this is coming anytime soon. obviously they have until noon tomorrow, but the judge today really looked at -- he was familiar with this document and he obviously had looked at it and approved the search warrant. i'll read you just another part of what he said. he said he was -- he viewed the government had a legitimate interest in trying to protect aspects of this investigation, and that he said this was -- the version the justice department presented was the lease onerous version. he clearly signaled that he was familiar with it and knew that there were parts of this that could be made public without damaging aspects of the justice department's investigation. so, as you point out, there's a lot of information here, there's lots of room for the justice department to show why they did this unprecedented search.

a lot of it has come out in the last few days from memos we've seen indicating all of the months that went by as the national archives and the justice department were trying to get trump to return all of these boxes of documents, including stuff that had very sensitive documents. >> good to see you, evan. thank you. >> with me now, robert litt, deputy attorney general at the department of justice, former general council for national intelligence. ellie honing, former assistant u.s. attorney for the southern district of new york. good evening, guys. bob, trump said that he wanted the whole affidavit released at one point at least. the justice department wanted it to remain secret, obviously. so who wins here in what we've learned? >> well, i think it's significant that trump did not call for release of the affidavit until after the department of justice indicated

it was going to oppose release of the affidavit. i think that he probably doesn't want the entire affidavit released and would be much happier with the ability to black out spaces and say look what they're hiding from you. i think at the end of the day this is probably a net plus for the government. it's very atypical, almost unprecedented to have a search warrant affidavit released at this stage in the proceedings. but the government has the ability and has exercised that, and the judge has found that they have excised all information that would compromise sources and methods or that the justice department would be concerned about. we don't know yet how much is going to be left for us to see, but i think that on balance this is probably better for the government. >> stephanie, if trump didn't get what he said he wanted here, which he said he wanted it released, but knowing him like you do, do you think he's happy with this order from the judge? >> you know, i think that bob is

correct, that he's going to use it to just point to the redacted portions and say what are they hiding, they're not being transparent. i think he's going to use it to play victim even more, probably fund fund raise a bit more. more importantly, who they've been talking to. i know that that remains a number one issue around there, is who's talking, who's the mole, et cetera. >> i want to read from the judge's order where he notes that the department of justice convinced him portions should remain sealed, reason b, quote, disclosure would reveal just a slew of things, right? the identities of witnesses, law enforcement agents, and uncharged parties, the investigation strategy, direction, scope, sources, and methods, and grand jury information. when you lay it out that way, if that's what's out, what's going to be in? >> yeah, kate. doj succeeded at least in

protecting those things you just laid out, which are the most sensitive pieces of information. those are the pieces of information that doj prioritizes the highest. what could we see tomorrow? i can think of a few. first of all, there's always going to be legal boilerplate laying out the law, the premises to be searched, all that. but more importantly, i think we could see doj's account of the ongoing negotiation between archives and doj and donald trump's lawyers. now, we've seen great reporting on that. we know that that negotiation went on the for over a year. but could could be a definitive account of that. remember, trump's team turned over 15 bocxes to archives. we don't know yet exactly what was in those boxes. we can find that out as well, and if there are any aspects of the investigation that are not covered by those categories you just showed, aspects of the investigation that are already over and sort of safely done. we could learn those too and that could be important as well. >> stephanie, you talked about what trump could do with this

information that does come out, but do you think he will see any downside to that specific information that could be coming out? >> absolutely. i mean, i'm sure deep down he's nervous, but he's never going to show that. he's going to double down like he always does and is playing the victim. i'm sure he's nervous about information that will come out. look, the media coverage, even with fox, has not been good for him. i mean, he kind of had a meltdown today on his social media network. you can tell he's getting very, very nervous. i think that that's something to think about. >> you think that he's already feeling this in what you see on his social media? >> well, yes, especially this morning. he was just -- it was just so him. it reminded me of his early-morning tweets when i was in the white house when something was on his mind. i'm sure that against people's wishes this morning, you know, people were shaking their heads.

i think he's very worried. i don't think he'll admit it. for the first time things are really -- the walls are closing in. that's been said so many times i've grown numb to it, but i think he's nervous, yeah. >> is there a potential impact of this affidavit's release if the department of justice decides to bring charges against anyone involved, trump or anyone else in this investigation? >> politics aside, this is a tactically advantage for donald trump because in virtually every other case, nobody would see this affidavit, certainly the person who was searched would not see it unless and until someone is charged. tomorrow donald trump is going to see part of this affidavit. that is tactically advantage that virtually no other suspect ever has in front of the justice department. and so there's going to be an interesting dynamic here. future people whose homes get searched may say i'd like to see part of the affidavit against

me. donald trump got to see it just because he's powerful and famous? so doj is going to have to continue wrestling with this. but people ought to understand just how rare it is that somebody in donald trump's position gets to see the affidavit at this early point. >> i'm interested in your take on that as well, the legal implications of this order could be going forward. >> well, again, it's a little hard to tell until we know what's actually going to be released. one thing that i'm pretty confident is, we're not going to learn a lot about how the justice department knew that there was, in fact, more classified information at mar-a-lago because it's very difficult to imagine that being described without being identifying the witnesses who gave the information. but i think from a legal point of view, i don't think it's going to be make much difference one way or another. i mean, if trump were charged at the end of the day, he would undoubtedly make motion to suppress the evidence seized

from mar-a-lago and his legal team would get to see the backup for that at that point. i think it's much more significant in the political realm than in the legal realm. >> interesting. good to see you all. thank you so much. next, first on cnn, concern among members of trump's inner circle over the growing influence of one person in particular. and live pictures out of maryland. we'll show you where president biden is about to give his most important speech ahead of the campaign season so far, going after what he called the extreme maga philosophy and also going after republicans' stance on abortion. it's a story you'll see first on "outfront." we follow a family's journey through ten countries and then bussed to new york. and now a new struggle to find work.

gabby or, tell us more about how much fitten's influence has grown over trump. >> we're learning tonight that earlier this year after that initial trove of 15 boxes from mar-a-lago was returned to the national archives, former president donald trump started receiving calls from tom fitton, head of judicial watch, a very conservative legal activism group. in their conversations, fitten told him, first of all, you shouldn't have returned those boxes to the national archives because they're yours, and he laid out his case for why he believes trump has full authority over any records that he brought from the white house to his properties when he left the presidency. now, of course, donald trump didn't necessarily listen to fitten all the time. we know that in june attorneys for the former president did hand over additional documents to federal investigators. but he became more and more uncooperative, our sources tell

us, after fitten penetrated his orbit and started influencing him and telling him he had authority over the presidential records that were at mar-a-lago, and that if archives or federal investigators came knocking again, he didn't need to give those things back. >> and also, gabby, there seems to be a lot of angst right now over trump's legal team's competency. why? >> kate, i think the sheer volume of attorneys that are circulating around the former president right now just alone speaks to how chaotic things have become. i want to walk you through some of those names that we've become familiar with just over the past two weeks. christina bobb is the most part-facing attorney advising the former president right now. she's a former one america news host, which is a far-right, right-wing network. she also advised and helped rudy giuliani in his plot to overturn the 2020 election. she's drawn the most criticism from inside trump's orbit as not

necessarily being the most competent foreign represent him at such a time of legal jeopardy. there's also lindsey halligan, a florida-based attorney who's primarily worked in insurance litigation. al alina habra has been a longtime representative of trump, but whose background is also not in criminal defense. and then there's jim trusty, who among trump aides and advisers we're told is really seen as the most trustworthy, the most competent of these attorneys around the former president. he's a former u.s. attorney himself. he also worked as a prosecutor for the justice department. so he's definitely seen as the highest caliber in trump's orbit. >> thank you for that. george conway, longtime conservative attorney. thank you for coming in. you just heard gabby orr reporting from the the advice tom fitten has been giving donald trump, that he shouldn't have given any documents to the

archives and trump should have full control of them and any document he took from the white house. in doing so, he was citing, according to the reporting, a 2012 court case involving former president clinton. what do you see there? >> nothing, nothing that would help donald trump here. that case really came down to the proposition that was decided by judge amy jackson herman of the district court here, who said that basically joe shmow, doesn't have to right to sue to tell the national archives what it should deem to be presidential record or not a presidential record. and the records that were issued in that case were completely different. they weren't presidential records. they were these conversations that bill clinton had taped with a historian to discuss his presidency, and it was not done

through use of white house resources. these weren't documents prepared by the national security council, for example, as is the case with donald trump, and he wasn't doing it with the people at the white house. so it was a completely different kind of case and talks bottom line is they said the united states gets to decide what is a presidential record and what is not. no one can challenge that in court. it had nothing to do with -- >> separate situation and not bolstering his case to not turn over documents for sure. cnn is reporting trump's become increasingly concerned about this entire situation, even asking his inner circle about possibly being indicted. advisers are saying this seems more dangerous, at least that's the kind of sense, than any of the legal troubles that he's faced before. do you agree? >> yes, i do. i mean, we have not heard in the two and a half weeks since mar-a-lago was searched a viable

defense articulated by trump on anyone his own behalf. and the reason why this case to me represents the shortest distance between donald trump and an orange jumpsuit is the fact that it's so simple. you know, january 6th involved dozens of people and dozen of different possible conspiracies and dozens of objects and a lot of people moving around and a lot of facts, and ultimately hundreds of people going up to capitol hill. you know, that requires a lot of investigation. here, it was just donald trump doing this pretty much by himself and being told by a handful of people who he should have trusted instead of tom fitten that those documents belong to the united states and they need to go back. and he has his fingerprints literally and figuratively apparently on these documents. he himself was reviewing them and deciding which ones should go back and which ones shouldn't. he had multiple opportunities to turn these documents back over

to the government as required by law, and he blew those opportunities. and the fact that there are the most secret and most sensitive documents that are in the national security portfolio at issue here quite possibly only aggravates the situation. he's really dug himself a hole here. >> george, i want to ask you about what gabby was reporting about people questioning the competency of his legal team and people close to trump now questioning the competency of the legal team. one of them being christina bobb. she's been the face, really, of trump's legal team on conservative media. her name has been out there as we were talking about the search warrant and such. i want to play for you what she said about the fbi search. >> this was a completely unnecessary power flex. it was a weird flex. quite honestly it's sad to see what they've done to our country. no, there is no security that

something wasn't planted. i'm not saying that's what they did. >> should people be questioning the competency of this legal team? >> oh, absolutely. i mean, they haven't done anything that's really sensible or right. the motion they filed last week was incomprehensible. and clearly, there's nobody there who's qualified to represent the former president of the united states in this kind of investigation. the problem he's had all along is good lawyers will not work for him in a personal capacity because he doesn't pay them, for one thing, and he doesn't follow their advice. and he goes around shopping for advice and undermining any good and discarding good advice. that's illustrated by those conversations he had with tom f fitten. live pictures out of maryland tonight we'll show you where president biden is expected to give his most important speech yet of the

. looking live at pictures out of maryland where president biden is about to give a major speech to the democratic national committee about his midterm strategy, including the semi fascism behind the, quote, extreme maga philosophy. this is the first time we've heard from the president extensively as democrats are more bullish about the midterms and several republican senate candidates flailing right now. but is it enough? phil mattingly is traveling with the president and joins us now. phil, how confident is the white house right now about the midterms? >> reporter: i think the best way to frame things right now is significantly more confident than they were just a couple weeks ago. there's no question about that.

the legislative branch, some positive economic moves and what they've seen after the roe v. wade decision. they feel like there's a possibility they certainly turned a corner, whether they turn things around entirely remains an open question. you'll hear the president come out strongly trying to show a contrast, trying to create some momentum, and trying to highlight both the supreme court decision and those legislative victories. they feel like they have something to run on and a message to run on, and this will be a very clear launch of a midterm campaign season for both the president and the democratic party, kate. >> phil is standing by. waiting to see the president come out. phil, we'll see you in a second. former democratic mayor of baltimore, stephanie rollins blake. good to see you both. mayor, earlier today at a fundraiser, biden laid out some of the campaign strategy he wants to push, framing the

midterms as a vote for or against the quote extreme maga philosophy, which means donald trump, and comparing it to semi fascism. do you see that frame as a winning move for democrats this cycle? >> are you posing that to the mayor. >> to the mayor, yeah. >> oh, i'm sorry. i apologize. do i think it's a good message? i apologize. it is an open question. you know, i think there's no mistake why he's in maryland. he's in maryland because he could not find a friendlier audience, except for maybe in delaware. and he's going to -- i feel like he's kind of throwing some stuff on the wall and seeing what sticks, what's going to get us to where we need to be by the midterms. i don't know if talking about the maga movement being fascist

is going to move the needle for democrats. we see the enthusiasm gap closing, but i think it's more to do about choice and abortion rights, the restricting of abortion rights, than the fact that the maga movement or extremists. i'm eager to hear his message because we need to have biden and everyone else that has a voice in the democratic party working to get -- make sure our momentum and enthusiasm peaks when it needs to on election day. >> ed, what do you think of that choice that biden's making at this fundraiser? >> he's playing a different game than what most are seeing this as. he's been stuck between a rock and a hard place for several months now, and that he automatically when he took office, republicans somewhat knee jerked and were very negative about -- about his job in office, even before he took the job in office.

that was just the way the reaction was based on the 2020 election. he lost independents during the fall of afghanistan. that's where she saw him being extremely incompetent in terms of handling that situation. he lost them for good. the recent numbers in the last six to eight weeks where he dropped below a 40% approval down to 30%, was actually the progressives of his party who are gnat happy with him pushing their agenda enough. he's stuck between how republicans and independents saw him and how the progressives saw him. all of the moves he's taken in recent weeks is to try to get the progressives back. he was seeing signs with the supreme court decision that he was getting some of them back, and he's trying to solidify that now. but talking about these are the things is not going to move him into the independents. it's certainly not going to move him into the republicans. it's going to be a day late and

a dollar short. >> help me ask you about the supreme court decision. it was a big question after the supreme court overturned roe what impact it would have on the elections. we've seen multiple examples in the primaries and, you know, votes, if you will, where the issue has moved the needle, moved voters, helped democrats. since roe was overturned, there's also been a significant increase in women registering to vote in ten states that "the new york times" looked at, including kansas, which is key when we know what happened there, where a referendum allowed lawmakers to ban abortion and it was overwhelmingly defeated and states could be key to senate hold like ohio and pennsylvania. should we be concerned about this issue? >> we have to. it's going to be our turn to explain what's happening there. i think at the end of the day most of the country is going to see what the supreme court did as a positive thing, and the for decades we have had fights between the extreme left and

extreme right. those people that call themselves pro-choice that are for abortion anytime, anyplace, anywhere, and those that were against, are pro-life and against abortion who didn't want it to exist at all. but that's not the majority of the country. the majority of the country falls in a category of they know abortion exists, they think it should be regulated to a certain extent. i know dozens of people who believe in having abortions up to 16 weeks who call themselves pro-life, and dozens of people who call themselves pro-choice. and now they're going to have a say as opposed to the extremes, which is all we've been hearing from for 30 years. and i think one of the things that's missed in terms of what happened in kansas is 60% of the republicans voted against that. so when they were given a real say onshoo should there be a to

ban, they voted what they truly believed. no, there shouldn't be a total ban, but they also believe it should not exist anytime, anyplace, anywhere. and democrats made a mistake on that. >> mayor, what ed is getting at is how people talk about this now is maybe critical in what happens in how voters respond. you have some republicans very clearly trying to -- i don't know if it's thread the needle or walk the line. tiffany smiley is a republican running to unseat democratic senator patty murray in washington. let me play this for you. >> patty murray has spent millions to paint me as an extremist. i'm pro-life, but i oppose a federal abortion ban. patty murray wants to scare you. i want to serve you. >> what do you think of that, mayor? >> i think it's a smart message,

but i don't think it's consistent with what we're seeing across the country. i think the republican in legislatures across the country -- we are -- the states are being controlled by the far right. we have people in the legislature that are voting for these total bans, yet they think that they're exceptions in their law. they have allowed themselves to be co-opted by an extreme part of the republican party, and what you're going to see is states having to roll back some of these extreme bans because they're going to start to see women die and doctors not performing life-saving procedures because they're afraid of being arrested or being sued. and that's not sustainable. so i do think that's going to bring more and more women, more

independents to the polls, and i think the democrats will benefit from that. >> what we're looking at on the screen, we're waiting to hear from president biden. i'm now after this discussion very interested to see which tactic -- which approach he takes in this discussion we're talking about right now. that could be a sign of where democrats are headed in terms of their campaign message. thank you for being here.

up to help pay for your college, but then life happened. your mom got sick and that money had to go to cover her medical bills. that is where these student loans came in and started piling up. >> yes. so about ten years ago my mom had a gall bladder removal surgery, when they went to take it out, they found a tumor the size of a chicken breast nestled inside her rib cage. so the surgeon decided to take out the tumor and sever the intercostal nerves. one thing in the field is you never want to sever the nerves because they'll never grow back together. so her resulting situation was chronic pain and life debilitating pain. so we've been through ten years of surgeries. it's almost about 20-something operations in order to figure out ways for her to get her life back. and be able to move and not have to measure out what her activity level is for a certain day. because at the end of the day with her condition, she has --

if she wants to watch a sports game or support us in a certain event, she's going to have to rest up the day before and then pay the consequences the day after. and so because of that and because of the insurmountable amount of medical bills, that college fund had gone towards paying those bills off, and our previous arrangement with our parents of doing 50/50 for college kind of had to go out the window, and that burden is now on our shoulders. one caveat in that as well is, in my name i only have $70,000 in debt, but because my parents had to take out parent plus loans, there's an additional $160,000 of debt, and i'm paying that on 10% of my dad's salary because the government doesn't recognize that $160,000 is also in my name -- not really in my name, but i'm responsible for that since i'm not going to have my parents pay that on top of the medical bills as well. and so it's kind of -- yeah. >> it's just -- it's overwhelming and it's a lot to even just think about all of

that hanging over you as you're trying to make your life. it's a huge thing. as you said, you wish this plan from the president would go even further and i'm sure you heard this now, but there are people in both parties, democrats and republicans, who are saying that any amount of loan forgiveness is unfair to people who have paid off their loans or for people who chose not to go to college and now will have to foot some of the bill. one of them is democratic congressman tim ryan who said waiving debt for those already on a trajectory to financial security sends the wrong message to millions of ohioans without a degree working just as hard to make ends meet. what do you say to that? >> honestly, all i can say is i understand. when i was 18 and went away to college, i knew that i was taking out loans. i knew that that debt was going

to be on my shoulders by the end of it. one thing that i want to stress is that for people that are looking for student loan forgiveness, it's not that we're looking for handouts or, you know, just relieve the debt because this is right of way. it's more making the payments more manageable for us. one thing that i want to see in the future is just the interest -- that's the part that's a killer because even if i pay 30 years of payments, i'm barely going to be tackling that principle amount. it's all going to be going towards interest and i'll be left with, you know, that tax bomb that student loan borrowers should be aware of by the end of their term of paying those loans off. but i don't want a handout. it's just the fact that -- yeah. >> thank you for coming on. it's nice to meet you. good luck.

you're now in this ph.d program and good luck with it all. thank you. >> thank you so much. let's go back to maryland right now and listen to president biden speaking live at this rally. let's listen in. >> 3.5% unemployment rate, near record low in the history of this country. a 15% drop in child poverty compared to two years ago. and more than 220 million americans vaccinated. [ cheers ] record, record small business creation. a big reason for all this is the american rescue plan that i signed into law shortly after i took office with the help of members of congress. that plan took america in crisis to economic recovery. and not a single republican, not one single one voted for it, not one. not a single republican. we also passed the once-in-a generation investment in roads,

highways, bridges, railroads, roads, airports, clean water systems, high-speed rail, internet, the biggest investment in america since president eisenhower's interstate highway act. we got a little help. we did get some help from some republicans passing the bill and i'm thankful for that. but the truth is, there's a lot more republicans taking credit for a bill they actually voted against. you see it all over america. right here in maryland. you got a republican congressman named andy harris. now, andy is out there touting funding for a key project that he voted against. it's happening all over. look, folks. we passed a chips and science act a groundbreaking law. we're going to once again

manufacture semiconductors right here in america. this law will create tens of thousands of construction jobs, bring billions of dollars in investment to america, and revitalize american manufacturing. look, folks, it means we're going to build the future in america. [ cheers ] with american workers and american factories, producing american-made products. [ cheers and applause ] we took on the nra. [ chanting "usa" ] >> we took on the nra and we beat them. we just passed the first gun legislation in 30 years in this country. [ cheers ] and i promise you we're not stopping here.

i'm determined to ban assault weapons in this country. [ cheers ] >> i did it once before and we will do it again. we're going to do it for those families in buffalo, uvalde, newtown, el paso, parklands, charleston, las vegas, orlando, i've been to almost every one of those places to meet with those places. >> president biden right there speaking at his first major political rally of the midterm season touting the successes of his presidency so far. we'll continue to monitor the speech for you. outfront for us next, 200 more migrants arriving to new york on buses from texas. 1,000 migrant students are expected to enroll in public schools this fall. can new york city keep up?

arrived in new york city today, escalating a feud between abbott and mayor eric adams. abbott criticizing the mayor's policies saying mayor adams likes to pat himself on the back for welcoming migrants with open arms to his sanctuary city, that is until he actually has to follow through on those lofty promises. abbott continues, worst of all is adams' hypocrisy. he complains that he and new york city are overwhelmed to migrants to such an extent that he demands federal help and discourages texas from sending more buses to his city. the mayor's office is hitting back with this. someone get this man a dictionary. hypocrisy is claiming you love america and then decrying the words on the statue of liberty. polo sandoval is outfront with a look at who's on these buses and why. >> reporter: you wouldn't know it as they stroll through brooklyn, but this family, dog included, has been through hell to get here. navigating the concrete jungle

that's their home today pales to the central american jungle he and his partner survived this summer. the young venezuelan couple documented their two-month family that took the family of four, five if you count their dog max, through ten countries. they carried only a few belongings on their backs and occasionally their 6 and 9-year-old as well as they trekked through the gap linking south and central america. at times they swaddled their pup like a baby fearing they would be separated. but the blood, sweat and the countless tears were worth it for this moment, the day they waded across the rio grande and onto u.s. soil for the first time officially requesting asylum. after a brief stop in texas, it was on to a bus and a three-day drive to new york city where they wait for their asylum cases to be heard.

>> what's next for you? >> reporter: annabell explains they came to the u.s. not for a handout but to work. she's over 7,000 asylum seekers that have turned to the city for shelter since may alone, into a system that was already overwhelmed by homeless new yorkers long before the governors of texas and arizona used these families to make a political point. >> the city was not prepared to meet the need and capacity, so we have a capacity crisis, which we've had since early june. >> reporter: attorney katherine clip says she saw this coming. her organization ensures the city of new york adheres to its right to shelter law, which requires anyone eligible and in need to be offered a bed, be they an asylum seeker or new york falling on tough times. >> there's been so much focus on migrant families coming into the system but it ignores the reality that we have had mass homelessness in new york city for a really long time.

>> reporter: according to new yorkers we met, there is a general desire for new york city to embrace this latest wave of tired, poor and huddled masses as it's always done. >> i think it will be great. that's the best thing about new york, we come from everywhere. >> reporter: but there's also a call to fix pre-existing issues, like the shelter crisis. >> i think the city has always been kind of a beacon to people who arrive here from other places, but i think that there's a lot of things that need to be fixed here. there's a lot of kind of work that needs to be done. >> reporter: city immigration official an immigrant himself says he understands those concerns even as public schools expect an additional 1,000 migrant students this fall. >> is new york city in a position where it is able to welcome thousands that have arrived and thousands more that will come here? >> look, you know, we're constantly improving. we're adjusting. we're adding capacity. we're continuing to open hotels to be used as shelters. we're contracting with

community-based organizations to add additional services. so, yes, we continue to improve. >> reporter: those improvements can't come soon enough for the family back in brooklyn. there's a sense of frustration in his voice as he tells me he's pleading with city and federal immigration officials to speed up the process of securing work permits for asylum seekers. at 27, this young father knows the sooner he can legally provide for his family here, the sooner he won't have to rely on new york's overburdened shelter system. >> quite a journey, polo. as you're mentioning, this also comes at a time when the city's resources are already stretched. how much strain on the system does this add? >> reporter: kate, there's a key metric that answers that question which is the new york city shelter system's occupancy rate. city officials like to keep that about 5%. that's 5% of available beds that are open and available. however, for the last several months, that number instead of being 5%, which is what they

like to see, it's at or below 1% and much of that is because of the migrants that we have seen arrive here in new york city. that's really what's fueling this call for the federal government to help expand the shelter system. they know many more are coming. 460 migrants arriving here in the heart of manhattan at port authority just in the last 48 hours. >> polo, thank you for bringing us that story. thank you all so much for being with us tonight. "a.c. 360" starts now. good evening. at any moment tonight the justice department could release a redacted version of the affidavit making the government's case for searching mar-a-lago. they have until noon tomorrow to do it. the former president, as you know, had pushed for the unredacted version to come out. his spokesman recently justifying it based on, in his words, the democrats pench anxiety for using redactions to hide government corruption just like they did with the russia hoax. the department of justice does not want to make public that could jeopardize this or
