breaking news. the supreme court strikes down the alabama congressional map, and orders them to redraw it. and now, is there a sign that donald trump is about to be indicted, because the justice department says he is the target of a documents probe, and we are

watching for any movement from two grand juries now. and the dark dangerous haze and unprecedented smoke hanging over a huge swath of the northeast. tens of millions of people forced inside. we have the latest forecast on how long this is all going to last. this is cnn "news central." breaking and frankly unexpected news out of the supreme court this morning. the justices have ordered officials in alabama to redraw the state's congressional map giving more power to minority voters. we are on this from every angle. what it means for control of congress, and what it says about the court, what it say about the law. we start with jessica schneider and what it means for alabama.

>> yes, it is a victory for black voters of alabama. the supreme court orders alabama to redraw their congressional maps that have been in the congressional cycle since 2022 to give black voters more representation, and upholding the section 2 of to voting rights act. it denies any election, it bars any election law that denys a vote on the basis of race. and there is deep concern this conservative court that gutted many parts of the voting rights act would gut section two of the voting rights act, and to take you back, it is about the congressional voting act that was in effect in 2022, and the black voters challenged it saying they were majorities in 1 of 7 congressional districts despite that black voters make up 27% of the state.

the voting map was kept in place for 2022, but the supreme court is saying to go back the redraw it. the state of alabama said, look, specifically this, they had said that we are in a political system where race no longer matters, and all you to do is to draw fair maps with race neutral criteria, and the court here led by chief roberts said, no, race still needs to be considered. i'll read a quote from his opinion right now. a district is not equally open. in other words, when minority voters face unlike their majority peers, bloc voting with the backdrop of racial discrimination in of the state, that renders unequal voting against the minority voter, and this opinion written by chief roberts, and the same justice who several years ago dismantled a crucial part of the voting

rights act, section 5, with racial discrimination said they didn't have to get racial discrimination of any of the lines, but this decision with not even party line, but chief kavanaugh joining with the liberals saying that the map needs to be with drawn, and the section 2 as it was written in years pga should stand. >> and john roberts credited to dismantle parts of the voting rights act with the shelby decision, and to that point, this is 5:4 ruling with chief justice and brett kavanaugh siding with the three liberal justice, and joan biscunpic, this is a very interesting decision to say the least. >> john, this is a major turn for chief justice roberts and

how dramatic it was in the courtroom a few moments ago. to understand his history, john roberts when he was with the ronald reagan administration in 1980, he has been working to roll back the voting rights act in 1965, and constantly outside of the court, and then once he joined the bench, he thought that the voting rights were going to far and encroaching in the powers and he shepherded in the holder decision and then decisions in 2018 and 2021 where he led a majority to curtail the reaches of the voting act, and so he starts to read the opinion, and all nine of them are on the bench. i am thinking, here he is, and he is going to roll back section 2 that prevents discrimination in voting. but no. he has this long windup, and then he basically stays that

alabama is push ing too far, and we won't retrench on 40 years of jurisprudence related to the 1965 act, and he cites a 1960 case that he and the colleagues wanted overturned, and he said that they were sticking with it. and they are not going to racial neutrality in the voting rights act which is what alabama was pushing for, and he gave a full history of why the voting rights act even exists in terms of providing why it exists for people of all colors, and especially the blacks who fought the hardest when 1965 act was passed to have access to the polls. so as he is reading, i am watching justices on both sides and as justice kagan, the newest

justice and justice is looking down, and then she is looking out to audience and not one liberal dissented which is so unusual, john, and going back to "shelby county versus holder" which gutted a significant part of the law, and it is the liberals so loudly dissenting and the liberal voting activists so worried, but it is the three justices to the right dissenting and no one from the bench. if you didn't know the drama behind chief justice's roberts position, you might not know what is going on steadily, but it is a major turn in the law that has gratified the voting rights advocates at this point, john. >> joan biskupik, thank you for

describing drama inside of the courtroom, and why this is such a surprise. thank you. let's go to manu raja, and get some reaction from the hill, and the democrats have a majority, and so in theory, it might mean that the democrats have a path to one more seat in alabama, and what are you hearing this morning? >> the democrats and the republicans are reacting with a surprise and shock, because it is not how they anticipated this ruling to go down, and it could have a significant impact to the 2024 election and change how the votes go down there. but in alabama, it could help democrats, and help democrats in other states.

it is possible for instance in georgia and maybe louisiana and could be states in which the democrats could benefit, but there are also other states that the maps are being withdrawn, and court chals and states like north carolina as well as ohio that could be beneficial to the republicans, and so we will see if it is a wash, or benefit one side or another. and then the general reak ction cord. and of course, they have been very skepticism after the dobbs and durbin suggested that perhaps there is a sign that things are changing in the roberts' court. >> well, perhaps they are shifting majorities. i think that chief justice roberts, i really believe he understands in history's view, this is his court.

what they put together now, he is going to be held accountable for, and now particularly the cases that are voted for. >> reporter: so durbin went on to say that he would take other initiatives to take on something like a code of ethics, and as the court is doing some things that is not liked be by their behavior. so he reacted and he said,k look i have confident in what the court ultimately decided here. but no doubt about it, surprise on both sides of the aisle and significant impacts for the very narrowly divided house, and

could flip one way or another in 2024. thank you, manu raja, and our thanks to jessica schneider, and joan bikupik. and kate, to hear her describe something as dramatic, and unusual and surprising, and you get a sense of what a big deal this is. >> that is the perspective that joan can bring to this. and now, a blockbuster, and surprising decision from the supreme court. and let's bring in terri sewell. and congresswoman, thank you for jumping on to the phone, and joining us. what is your reaction. >> well, this is so exciting, because justice delayed is not justice denied, it is so really important, this is an amazing

victory for black alabama voters and for the democracy and the voting rights act. i have had the great honor to represent the 7th district and includes sell ma ama and birmin and it is the legacy of the equal right to vote, and to have the supreme court surprisingly to give us this huge win is historic. >> what does this mean for alabama today? i mean, we look at what this could have meant for alabama in '22, but what about '24? >> we will have a more equitable map, and african-americans make up 27% of alabama's population. and yet, we only had one seat. and so, i guess that i am reeling from the decision, because it is such a surprise,

but so happy that the justices saw this truth in the fact that it represents voter dilution. and it is black voter dilution, and it is a huge win not just for alabama, because everybody is looking at the case for map redrawing in north carolina and ohio and everyone is looking at the decision, and lit have a positive ripple effect, and it means that the minority vote dilution is not going to be tolerated by any and i know that john lewis is smiling because we got into trouble, necessary trouble, and right won out, and justices while the arc of the universe is long, it bends toward justice. >> congresswoman, i jumped quickly to look at the reaction to the tweet, and the tweet is

you and john lewis at the edmond pettus bridge in selma and i wondered what you and john lewis would be saying? >> he said never give up, and never give in, and even in the darkest moment continue the fight. and he is absolutely right. so many stakeholders and activists and ordinary alabama black voters who have prayed for this moment, who have marched for tho moment, and literally put their lives on line, and continue to fight that we restore the voting rights act of 1965. i never would have thought that john lewis was bludgeoned on the bridge, that the cause that the foot soldiers fought for would be the cause that we, this generation would fight for so hold on to the progress that we made and try to advance it. i can't tell you how excited i

am about this opportunity for alabama to have not one democratic representative but hopefully two. >> how do you square this with the conservative majority going forward? what do you take from it? >> i would hope it would mean, because i have attended the oral argument, and i think that what my hope is that justice rang true. i am still combing through the decision, but the evidence was on its face pretty evident that the black voter dilution was taking place because of the way that the voter maps were drawn, and that we have a supreme court case that is going to ripple

throughout the united states. i am grateful. i don't know. i am just grateful that justice kavanaugh and justice roberts voted with the majority of the progressives on the court to do the right thing which is to strike down maps that do not give the equal opportunity for minority voters to choose the elected official of their choosing. >> we have been on the air, and i am, too, looking forward to read through the decisions of how this came together. congresswoman, thank you for jumping on the phone with this breaking news that we have coming in. thank you very much. >> thank you. >> sara? >> on this, a dangerous smoky skies have millions of americans experiencing the worst air quality in years, and where is this wildfire smoke headed now. also, we are keeping watch

we're keeping close watch on two federal courthouses this morning, the courthouse in miami, florida, and the other in washington, d.c. we are watching from any movement from either of the grand juries, and the reason, cnn has learned that the justice

department has officially identified donald trump's legal team that he is the target of an ongoing investigation, and the investigation is related to trump's handling of classified documents and the failure to turn them over and possible obstruction of justice surrounding all of it. you recall that federal investigators searched his mar-a-lago home last august and recovered classified documents there. and trump has denied any wrong going. caitl caikatelyn polantz and evan per has the latest. evan, what are you hearing? >> there is the distinct possibility that there may be prosecutors bringing the cases in miami, and the district where mar-a-lago is located where the fbi conducted that extraordinary search last august where they

retrieved the documents, and where we know since then, there is the focus of the possibility of the obstruction, and that the boxes were being moved and documents were being concealed and we have seen the activity in recent weeks both in the courthouse getting the witness testimony as well as here in washington where the bulk of the testimony, and the bulk of the testimony has been given to the grand jury. the justice department has allowed someone that is the subject of an investigation to be notified that they are a target, and they can do it in the early stages or later stages, and in the case, it is clear that we are in the later stages. it is signalling that the justice department is on the verge of making this momentous decision, right. we have never been here before where a former president could, could be facing criminal

charges, and also, of course, charges against the people around the former president involved in, you know, handling the documents. and again, one of the things that we anticipate now that the former president has been notified this, and he has the ability to act the justice department to present his own evidence, and things to prove that he is not guilty of any of the crimes, and he can choose to explain to the grand jury why he should not be indicted. we do not expect that donald trump is going to show up to any of the grand juries, sara. >> thank you for your reporting throughout, evan perez. we go to katelyn polantz, and you are hearing maybe more witnesses who will testify in front of the grand jury today, and what more do you know about that? >> we don't know if it is today,

but we did know donald trump's political spokesperson and then there was an grand jury proceeding which is secret. the list of witnesses is expansive. sara, we have heard of nearly everyone in touch with trump or in the room with trump or talking to him about documents or hearing him about documents or handling documents on his behalf after he left the presidency, and people like mark meadows, evan corcoran, aides at mar-a-lago, and dozens of people have been subpoenaed, and even

in florida where we have been tracking this for so long, and it is uncloo clear who -- it is unclear exactly what was found. >> can you remind us of what was found in mar-a-lago. >> it was a long, long list. it was a search authorized by a court that they had to have probable cause that they would find evidence of crime when they did that search, and the numbers are fairly staggering for a case like that. it was almost 50 top secret and secret, and very high levels of documents found in storage rooms or a storage room at mar-a-lago according to some court record, and two dozen levels of secret, top secret found his office, the 45 office at mar-a-lago, and

additional records with classification records marked confi confidential, and every level of the classification structure, and those are the documents found at mar-a-lago, and on top of that, hundreds more that he had kept after the presidency, and not returned to the national archive until -- and just to be clear, when they are looked at by the justice department, you don't need hundreds of documents, but one to trace it and find intent to bring a charge. >> katelyn polantz, thank you for the reporting. i know that you will be watching to find out what happens next. joining us now is katy kerk asski and former prosecutor

michael zelden, and you tell us what this target letter sent to donald trump's attorneys tells us about where this investigation is. >> sure. a target letter indicates that the investigation is focused in on potentially indicting an indi individual. if there is no guarantee, but that is clearly the thought of the person in the criminal act. and in the case, you may want to speak to the prosecutors before putting yourself in court. again, it does not guarantee that an indictment is coming, and we know that donald trump has been the target of this investigation from the beginning. >> we know that this is come talk to us basically. >> yes. >> and now, michael to you, the

indictment as you heard from katie there, is not necessarily going to happen for sure, but if it does, what are some of the things that donald trump could face as far as criminality, and the indictments? >> well, several. it would be his failure to return the documents and hide them from the searching eyes of the doj. and the second is the espionage act of 73-e, and if you unlawfully retain a document which you are allowed to have which has national defense implications in it and you also and/or disseminate it, and the biggest charges are unlawful retention and dissemination, and

conspiracy to object and objection itself. as for the people in miami, it may be straight false testimony. i want you to listen to something that tim palatory. >> if it does have a classification marking on it, it doe does not make it contraband. it has to be classified document. and not all of the documents are originals, but they are all copies, every single one of them. does that hold water here? is that a defense? >> well, there is a need to look closely at what defenses donald trump is going to bring in

regard to the status. it is one thing to bring an indictment, and another to bring it to go beyond a reasonable doubt. the supreme court has never undertaken any decision that has to change the significance of the document, and so there has to be a legal question of how far that authority goes for any sitting president whatsoever, and it is a viable defense here certainly. >> you do. you think that making copies of them even though they could have been used nefariously? >> yes. because of the very specific status of the president, and the open legal question as to how

far that goes, because it could be a huge hangup here, and just because you have going to indict, does not mean that you get past the burden of proof. >> and some of the documents were secret and some were not, and how does that play a role? >> well, sara, it is not that any of them be classified documents, and it just needs to be something that implicates national defense, and if you have something that is top secret and compartmentalized. and the authority to >> and whether or not it has to be originals, it has original

markings on them, and so i don't believe that is a viable defense. >> and when you go forward with a former president, you will have these battles, and they are going to be huge. we toss it back to john. so it won't just go away, and 75 million of americans in the midwest, and the southeast and they are under smoke alert as president biden sends all available federal firefighters assets to help. and the suspect of the missing natalee holloway suspect is on the way to the united states. but you best believe, you can't take the italy out of an alfa romeo.

>> for tens of millions of people today, it is another danger day outside. we are showing you a picture of philadelphia outside where the air quality is declared unhealthy. it is not just an east coast problem. we will show you cincinnati where the air quality is declared unhealthy for sensitive groups. we are also learning that its impact could be lingering for days and impacting flights and this is video yesterday. this is what it was looking flie

for passengering coming into laguardia. they have been dealing with ground stops in operations. athena jones is there. what are you seeing there? what does it look like out there this morning? >> hi, kate. well, i am seeing the improvement, and if you are looking over to brooklyn, you can begin to see some of the details of the buildings, and we could not see that a couple of hours ago, because it was covered in a haze. and while the air quality index is much improved from yesterday afternoon, it is about the same point this time yesterday morning which is unhealthy for sensitive groups. now it is difficult to forecast what is going to happen with the smoke and the wind and the weather, but the officials have warned that the conditions could get worse today, and that is why there is a health quality

advisory. and over the coming days, it sounded like good news according to the mayor. >> as of now, the models are not showing another plume over the city, and there is a chance of signi significant improvement throughout the day and tomorrow. >> so we could see things improving tomorrow, but meanwhile, the government is telling people to mask up if you go outdoor, and that is why new york state is handing out some 1 million masks they have on hand, but this is the beginning of the fire season in canada, and one of our meteorologists have said that this is something that we may see happen periodically throughout the summer, but things are on the way of improvl

i -- improving conditions. >> it is really good news to be improving. >> it is really disruptive. it gets in your eyes, and you get a huge headache. >> i have been hearing that, you do get a huge headache. >> yes, everyone in my house. and also, meaning that it is worse from here to there, and one hopeful sign is that the smoke from the fires in quebec, have been considerably reduced this morning. president biden has directed all of the available firefightering assets to help fighting fires there. going to the d.c. area, brian todd is in arlington, virginia, where i can see the haze behind you, brian todd. >> yes, athena said that the conditions in new york are improving, but the conditions here are worse. quick update, d.c. area has been coded purple for air quality and

that means very unhealthy for the entire public and not just people with respiratory ailments, but it is code purple for everybody and that is 6 of 6. where athena is, they have improved, but worsening here in washington, d.c. i want to step out of the shot while steve williams is panning in here, and we are at the marine corps memorial here, also known as the iwo jima memorial, and you see right past some of washington's famous monuments from the lincoln memorial to washington, but look at the haze over the potomac river and beyond. you can see the lincoln memorial, kind of n shadow there, and then look at the washington monument behind it, and you can barely see it, and even on a rainy day, you can see

them clearly, but and the haze is affecting your view of it, that close, and one lady out of town trying to navigate this, this is what she had to say. >> i am feeling it in my lungs walking around and it is intense. >> today is really bad, and going into the metro, and every time the doors opened, i felt like i could not catch my breath as i felt like i would be able to. >> so it is tough out there. if you are in maryland, d.c. or arlington, stay inside, and don't go out too long if you don't have to. >> that is incredible with a

vivid display of how this is having an impact. thank you for that terrific report. sara. the man long suspected in the disappearance of. and an important note for you y you, kaitlan collins is going to sit down with an important converersation with richey suna tonight. that. let me put a reminder on my phone. save $70700 dollars. pick up dad from airport? ohhhhhh. only pay for what you need. ♪ liberty. liberty. liberty. liberty. ♪ ah, these bills are crazy. she

happening now on capitol hill, a senate committee is holding a hearing on what's being called a mental health crisis for young people in america. the cdc reports that suicide is the leading cause of death. the second leading cause of death for people ages 10 to 14. and the group mental health america says nearly 60% of youth with depression don't receive any mental health treatment. just recently the surgeon general announced an advisory on the impacts of social media on the mental health of young pe people. he spoke about his concerns with dr. sanjay gupta.

dr. gupta joins us now. you hear all of these numbers and it really sounds dire. what can you tell us? >> i think when people hear a warning from the surgeon general's office, they opportunity ictypically think ts is about smoking or opioids or things like that. i asked him. i said, does this rank at that level of concern as what we're yeez used to hearing. this is what he said. >> i would say yes. it's more complicated. with smoking, which was an issue that the surgeon general has been engaged on for decades, that's more clear cut. there were a the lot of harms associated with smoking. it was hard to make the case there were benefits from smoking. social media is more acco complicated. >> therein lies the problem, i think. we need social media.

we use social media. a better analogy maybe it's like bad food. to do can provide nourishment, but we can eat bad food and we can eat too much of it. that's what they are trying to address. there's little evidence of safety and increasing concerns about harm. >> you talked about how to deal with this because social media isn't going anywhere. kids are going to be looking at it. how do you maximize the benefits of it and minimize the harms? >> on the podcast, one of the things i did was talked to a lot of teenagers, including my own three teenagers about this. i think it can be pretty important to just have the conversations. we didn't grow up with this. i'm a lot older than you, but we did not grow up with this. it's a brave new world for all of us. having the conversations, being strict and dog thematic about tech-free zones around meals and things like that. and also making sure that other parents in your community are on
