10:02 am
>> decades of failing to enact border policies and washington coming to a head at the supreme court today as the federal government and the state of texas clash over who can enforce immigration laws at issue is a controversial texas law that gives local authorities power to arrest people that they suspect crossed into the country illegally. the supreme court's temporary pause on that law expires in just a few hours. so the justices will either extend that freeze or they could let the law take effect while legal challenges play out. critics say the law will effectively legalized racial profiling of latinos in texas. supporters say texas is simply taking action to curb a crisis. the federal government has failed to fix cnn's ed lavandera is in dallas for us. and what are you hearing there on the ground? >> well, everyone watching what the us supreme court is expected to announce gear in
10:03 am
the coming hours as the fate of what is known as senate bill four for sb4, which the texas legislature, which is dominated by republicans passed back in december and was signed by governor greg abbott. this is becoming it may signature piece of immigration border security law that texas officials have been touting for months, but has been tied up in the courts since it was assigned by the texas governor back in december. and as you mentioned, what it essentially does is give local law enforcement officers the ability to arrest people who enter the country illegally or are suspect of entering the country illegally, as well as also giving judges the ability to deport people back to mexico if they're here in texas illegally. this law has been challenged by a number of immigrant rights organizations as well as the biden administration, the department of justice. there essentially arguing that immigration must be enforced with one voice that you cannot have states acting on immigration issues
10:04 am
unilaterally, texas officials are saying that they have the sovereign right to defend themselves in in this crisis, to defend itself in this crisis, and that they should have the ability to enforce laws as they see fit. so this is the dynamic and the struggle that is playing out between state and federal officials here in texas. and it was it's been tied up in the courts and austin, judge said that initially stop this law from going into effect. several weeks ago, said that it would be a nightmare scenario if states all across the country could pass their own form of immigration laws, it was then turned over by a federal appeals court and allowed to go into effect. and then the us supreme court has stepped in and halted it. it is expected that the us supreme court is expected to issue some sort of ruling on this law here today brianna. so very this is being watched very closely all across the us southern border, especially here in texas, as officials thanks just wait what
10:05 am
the us supreme court is going to rule in this case. >> yeah, we are waiting to see it. and just last hour we learned of a potential terrorism investigation after a lebanese migrant was apprehended at the border and allegedly made threats what can you tell us about that >> yeah. the customs and border protection officials acknowledged that an indicate that there is an investigation into to a lebanese man who was taken into custody in the el paso area on march 9, ninth. and according to a border patrol memo obtained by the new york post, that that individual made threats, ask him when he he was asked what he is doing here. he said, i've come in here. i'm going to make a bomb. he then later said that he was trying to escape the iran-backed hezbollah organization in lebanon. and that's why he had come to the us. so all of this being investigated of very serious allegations there in this memo. and border border officials we understand are investigating
10:06 am
this case and trying to determine exactly if there's any he validity validity to this threat. briana >> all right. well, wait to see what comes of that, ed. thank you for that report from dallas horse >> let's discuss sb4 with brandon judd. he's the president of the national border patrol council, the union representing thousands of frontline agents brendan, thanks so much for being with us today. you join governor abbott when he signed sb4 into law. i'm assuming your support for it hasn't changed. how would you like to see the supreme court handle this deadline? >> i'm hoping the supreme court is going to follow the laws that's ultimately the people that have i'm sorry, that's ultimately the entity that gets to decide whether a law passed by a state is in fact is in fact illegal. but what i can tell you is that if the supreme court does uphold sb4, it's going to cause a drop been illegal immigration through the state of texas, and that's going to be a huge benefit to border patrol agents. it's going to be a huge benefit to those individuals that want
10:07 am
border security. it's also going to be a huge benefit to being able to go after the cartels, the criminal organizations that are bringing in criminal aliens, aliens from special interests countries and all of the fentanyl that is killing so many us citizens and so, yeah, we want to see laws get passed that are going to free up our hands to go after the cartels so that we can protect the american people. that's why we put on the that's what we want to be able to do. >> i want to get into the pros and cons of sb four with you. but what i want to take a step back as far as the constitutionality question, because as you know, the supreme court we're previously has ruled that immigration laws can only be enforced by the federal government. there's precedent for that. there was a similar law and arizona that got struck down about ten years ago. >> are >> you confident that the courts will rule with you and find that sb4 is constitutional when they already have this track record of striking down similar laws >> i was involved in the arizona law when he got passed by a governor brewer. i knew
10:08 am
the the facts behind that law and it was in fact struck down this is a completely different set of facts in sb4. and so the supreme court, when they look at things are going going to look at the specifics of the law. and if the specifics of the law, if they find that it that it conflicts with the constitutional strike it down. if they find that it does not conflict with the constitution though, they'll let it go forward as they should. that's what their job is. and ultimately, we will comply with what what the supreme court decides. >> so on the details of sb4 one aspect of it is that it would rely on local law enforcement. and there assessment of whether someone they see potentially could be undocumented. you know, that the job of border protection agency is a delicate one. you don't only enforce laws you in many cases provide humanitarian assistance to folks. suffice to say it's not
10:09 am
an easy job and with all due respect to local law enforcement, they would be handling duties that perhaps they haven't necessarily early been trained for it. does it concern you that they may not be equipped to handle the same kind of situations that the members of your union do >> so in order to enforce the law, you have to have articular will facts that leads to probable cause to take somebody in the custody. those articulate facts are going to be very plain. and so i'm not very concerned that the local law enforcement is going to be able to do that. they're doing that right now as we speak when they enforce laws, they have to have the article facts that leads to that high level, which is probable cause in order to see somebody's person. that's an arrest. and so i do believe that they will be able to do that. i do believe that they'll be able to use their judgment. i also believe that they're going to get the training that is necessary in order to be able to articulate exactly how they came to the determination
10:10 am
that somebody might have violated laws in entering our country illegally. that's what law enforcement does. i have i complete confidence in law enforcement. i think the american people should also have confidence in their law enforcement >> there were cases in that arizona scenario that we talked about a moment ago. one of the similarities is that allowed it allowed officers to use their discretion as to whether they found someone suspicious of being documented or undocumented, and it led to a lot of problems with racial profiling so there were american citizens that were targeted to you don't see any issue with sb4 potentially enabling discrimination >> so i i've heard the complaints that it could lead to discrimination, but let's use arizona in the short time that that was open. there just weren't very many cases that were found to have rachel pro profiling. so again, i trust in law enforcement, i believe that law enforcement has the best
10:11 am
interests of the public in mind, i do not believe that law enforcement goes out of their way to violate laws. i do not believe that law enforcement goes out of the way to racially profile, especially when we're looking at south texas. if you look at dps and south texas, a large large percentage of those individuals that are in south texas are also minorities. i do not believe kyiv that law enforcement, regardless of whether they're minorities or whether they're white, go out of their way to racially profile. i believe that law enforcement has the best interests of the american people at heart, that they will in fact properly enforced the laws brenda judd. we have to leave the conversation there, but especially if the supreme court takes this up, we look forward to having you back on >> thanks, boris. i appreciate it. >> of course. brianna also on the stack docket for the supreme court today, a thorny dispute over free speech. the justices heard arguments over the biden administration's efforts to remove social media posts that contained misinformation about covid-19
10:12 am
and elections whether it violated the first amendment. we have cnn senior supreme court analyst joan biskupic here on this for us, where do things stand with this june 1 of all, i just came from the core and they were really almost two hours, very exhilarating oral arguments, tents at times, but a little bit of levity that i'll get to in a second. this case involves the biden administration's attempt to tamp down on ms information on social media stemming from the covid-19 pandemic vaccine. ms information also a bad information about the 2020 election results. it said it was merely being persuasive to social media companies to try to get them to move problem remove problematic texts two-state missouri in louisiana and about five social media users sued the government saying that you weren't just being persuasive. you are actually engaged in coercion that violates the first amendment rights of users. and i thought when we started the
10:13 am
oral arguments, it would be a lot of nuance over how to draw that line between persuasion and coercion. but the position taken by the states argued by the louisiana solicitor general was so hard and fast that several justices made clear from the outset of their comments that they were not going to go as far as the states. we're going he suggested that even mere encouragement could come up against the first amendment if platforms were encouraged to take down things that you know, again, we'd have health misinformation. and let me just give you the one little part that became funny. triggered by this initial question by samara, alito, comparing social media platforms to the traditional news media >> i see that the white house and federal officials are repeatedly saying that facebook and the federal government should be partners. we're on the same team. officials are demanding answers. i want an answer want it right away when
10:14 am
they're unhappy, they they curse them out. there regular meetings there, because constant pestering of facebook and some of the other platforms and they want to have regular meetings and they suggest once will. they suggest rules that should be applied and why don't you tell us everything that you're going to do? so we can help you and we can look it over. and i thought, wow, i cannot imagine federal officials taking that approach too. to the print media would you do that to the new york times or the wall street journal, or the associated press, or any other big newspaper or wire service >> actually, brianna, two of his colleagues, justices kagan and kavanaugh, who have worked in administrations, acknowledged that they often would call up news organizations and say didn't like that editorial, didn't like that news call that's how it works. how it works as this with respect. and at one point,
10:15 am
the chief justice john roberts, who actually once worked in an administration, quipped at the beginning of a count of one of his questions. first, i have no experience coercing anyone about anything just because we could get it on record. so they've brought their own personal experiences to it. but i think bottom line, brianna, i don't think the states are going to prevail at the supreme court. that >> was a funny moment. unintentionally funny. nonetheless, joan biskupic, thank you so much. thank you. >> a warning for american democracy. former president trump painting a disturbing picture. if he does not win this election plus russian leader the vladimir putin, confirms prisoner exchange talks that could have freed alexey navalny. they were underway at the time of the jailed opposition can leader's death, what he says happened, and starting today, getting birth control is as simple as clicking add to cart united states of scandal with jake

>> today we deserve a real king because if he cannot protect his own family house, he supposed to protect us >> i'm going to do this myself. >> come >> on, man, and the lost kingdom. now streaming exclusively on macs >> donald trump's lawyers just revealed he has a major money problem and a court filing. they said their presumptive gop nominee for president cannot find an insurance company to underwrite a nearly half 1 billion bond. remember, he needs to pay the bond as part of a new york civil fraud judgment against him. your recall, the judge found him and the trump organization liable for fraud, conspiracy, and issuing false business records trump's attorney quoted and insurance broker saying the bond was quote, a practical impossibility. cnn's kara scannell joins us now with the stories of care at trump's attorneys are revealing all this to the court to try to delay the bond requirement, right. as trump appeals the
10:21 am
judgment right. i mean, they have to come >> up with this money in order to appeal and not have the new york attorney general move to seize their assets and they've been asking me appeals court to allow them to not post any of this money until the appeal is overseeing that they have real estate that is worth the 454 million that the judgment plus tourists is now they're revealing in his filing that they have approached some 30 different underwriters, can't get any of them to be willing to underwrite and secure this nearly half $1 billion bond, including some of the world's largest insurance companies. according to these filings, trump's lawyers are saying that the insurance companies, many of them i've internal limits that they can't individually secure a bond in excess of 100 million. and he's got five times that problem another problem that they've run into, they've said is that these insurance companies and underwriters are unwilling to accept real estate as collateral for this bond. they only want cash or stocks,
10:22 am
something that can easily be turned into cash. real estate is hard to sell and hard to turn around that quickly. so they're unwilling to accept that in the words of one of trump's lawyers, he called it a major obstacle for them securing a bond. so this, as you say, is all part of trump's arguments to this. a new york appeals court panel of judges to say, let us not, we can't come up with this it's money, allow us to move forward and appeal. and we'll settle this later on because we have these assets now the new york attorney general's office has opposed this they say that they are ready to move forward to collect on this judgment. if trump is able to come up with this. now, the decision is in the hands of the new york appeals court. we expect a decision on that by the end of this this month. in trump's lawyers are saying, if the judges are going to rule against him, he's asking them to allow them to appeal to new york's highest court and then continue to allow him to have time to come up with this money. again, we earn another situation where the clock is ticking and it will be up to the appeals court here to say
10:23 am
where this is going. i go next if trump will have time, or if the york attorney general's office can move forward to try to seize this judgment. boris. >> yeah. his legal cases, perhaps not hurting him when it comes to the polls, but definitely having an impact on his wallet. kara scannell. thank you so much. brian also today, former president trump is defending his comments that he made on the campaign trail saturday when he warned of a bloodbath if he loses the election >> the biden campaign says the former president wants and other january 6, trump says he was speaking specifically about the auto industry three, speaking figuratively about the economy that would be those comments though we're just some of the controversial remarks that he said in ohio. take a listen we're going to put a 100% tariff on every single car that comes across the line. and your dr. to be able to sell those guys. if i get elected now if i don't get elected, it's going to be a bloodbath for the whole that's gonna be the least of it. it's
10:24 am
going to be a bloodbath for the country that'll be the least of it. but it did not get to sell those cars. ladies and gentlemen, please rise for the horribly and unfairly treated january 6 toss ditches. >> you see the spirit from the hostages and that's what they are as hostages. they'd been treated terribly, unbelievable patriots. if i had prisoners that were teeming with ms 13 and all sorts of people that they've got to take care of for the next 50 years, right? young people that are in jail for years, if you call him people, i don't know if you call up people in some cases than not people in my opinion joining us now is former illinois congressman adam kinzinger, who was one of two republicans on the house committee investigating the >> january 6 attack on the capitol. he's also a cnn senior political commentator. and congressman. i am curious what you think of the bloodbath comment but i also want to focus on the fact that trump said there would be no more elections if he doesn't win in
10:25 am
november. of course, elections being the cornerstone of our democracy well i mean, it's so look on the bloodbath, i guess you can make an argument that he was talking about >> the auto industry, but as i'm listening to that again, i caught that. he said, this will be the least of our concerns. it will be a bloodbath. so it's it seems like he was talking about maybe more than just the auto industry, but we know donald trump with his lack of self-esteem and his like really being cornered right now and just desperate. he stands in front of these crowds and he just says whatever gets an applause. and actually i'm more concerned not by what trump is saying, but by the fact that there are people sitting there applauding him we're standing there applauded him so yeah. i mean, all of those things are concerning. i think the idea that there's going to be no more elections is concerning what he's trying to imply is simply that there's going to be violence. he said this if he loses, there's gonna be violence again. i mean, this is
10:26 am
this is a model, this is everything he set up between november in january 6 of 2,020.20, 21, he would fully intend to try to promote this again because it good. briana, the only thing he cares about is himself and he knows if he loses the presidential election, he's going to jail and he'll be seen as a stain on our history. so he's putting everything into this. i think he up to and including potentially provoking violence. again, >> it stands out that he is raising the specter of there being no more elections. i haven't actually heard that concern voiced about any candidate except for trump himself. and i know some people will look at that and say, that's hyperbole, but i wonder what you think. do you think that's a valid concern about trump? or do you think the american system of government would protect against the president trying to stay in power past their term >> will look i typically would think that our system can protect against that it's different. so for instance, now if he loses the election he does not have the instruments
10:27 am
of the state, like he did on january 6. he had the justice department. he has ability to try to intimidate local officials. now he's just a guy running for president again but if he's president in four years and you know, an election comes up, i think the constitution is very clear. he can only be a president two terms. so i don't think he necessarily sit in the oval office and refuse to go. what i'm worried about is more of a proverbial thing which is like half of the conjugate, almost half of the country at one point was convinced that this election, this last election was stolen they were convinced that there was fraud sufficient to overturn an election, which of course we know that there isn't. and what happens in a self-governance and then democracy is when you take people's faith away, that their vote can actually count then you can lead to serious destabilisation up to an including frankly, civil war or at least violence that would prevent an election. so i don't think it's necessarily a concern that donald trump is just simply going to refuse to
10:28 am
leave and there's nothing we can do about it but i do worry about the fact that he is destroying faith in democracy and in the system. and i can't see how you get that faith bag once that idea that it doesn't work permeates to the the depths of who people are. >> he's still talking about a stolen election. he did that on saturday he's calling as well for the prosecution of your former colleague, liz cheney. he claimed that she suppressed evidence. she tweeted lying in all caps doesn't make it true, donald, you know, you and your lawyers have long had the evidence. >> do >> you think that liz cheney should be worried and also you are on the january 6 house committee, as i mentioned you have any of those concerns for yourself. if trump wins in november >> well, i have concerns for the country and of course, he's going to put a attorney general in place. that's he's going to screen for this. he's going to say that we want somebody it's going to say basically, mr. president, i'll do what you want. over the constitution, i think people
10:29 am
will actually tell them that it's not going to be hard to find somebody. >> so of course he could try to weaponize the doj. >> i don't fear it because look, i know that we did the right thing. i know that we told the truth. and by the way, the evidence is out there. it's on the internet. people can go see it. nothing was hidden. this is just a made-up story, so i don't think, she's intimidated. i'm not intimidated. >> but when she said the >> trump has >> all this stuff. he's had it for a long time. he does a really good job of projecting. so he knows he's actually the one who's been hiding evidence from his supporters and he's the one that should be in jail. >> so he >> tries to put that on other people. we see that this is just in his psyche. this is what a narcissist does. they deflect, they deny they attack and they victimized themselves. that's exactly what he's doing here. i'm convinced. i think if the election were held, the de trump would win, which actually is a little worrisome, of course. but i think as these months go by and people remember who he was and he continued just to be cornered
10:30 am
and say outlandish things because he can't help himself any scared and he has no self-esteem right now. >> i think it >> becomes more obvious to the american people who he is and he won't went time will tell, we will see the ultimate test in november. congressman great to have you. thank you so much >> of course. >> so for the first time ever russian president vladimir putin mentions alexey navalny by name in front of cameras. what he said about the death of his most out spoken critic plus a missing fuselage panel, an engine fire, a lost wheel, and a hydraulic fluid leak all of these it's happening just this month. all on united planes, the airline is now scrambling to reassure customers that its flights are safe. >> on the chasing life podcast, dr. sanjay gupta goes inside the world of weight loss, the

effectively killed him or your system has done so by, by simply putting him in. this gulag prison system that the russians have. so i think it is indeed striking that before his death, putin was they're afraid or did not want the general public, to be thinking that's strongly about navalny. and so he didn't use his name. now of course you're saying well, yes, this was navalny. it was all very unfortunate which of course, like everything else that comes out of the kremlin is essentially false so that's, that's, that's no big surprise there. it's also no big surprise that vladimir putin is trying to find some sort of moral equivalence between, oh yeah, occasionally there's a death in a russian prison that happens in the united states and other place >> which of course >> is indeed ridiculous, like again, everything else that comes out of the kremlin these days to that point, about a lot of ridiculous thing is from vladimir putin's mouth he was talking about america's so-called in his words, so-called democratic system. saying the us judicial system has become quote ridiculous and a disgrace that sounds like
10:38 am
propaganda for donald trump >> yeah putin's in the kremlin, his, in his spokespeople are so good at this. they understand where the, where the tension points are in. not only our own democracy, but another western democracies. and so you'll hear things like, well, you know, there's a lot of problems with us elections. there's problems with the us legal system because he knows that as a free thinking western society, we say, maybe we have to think about that. that's exactly what he's trying to do. he also, of course, it's really no surprise there should be no surprise that vladimir putin would very much rather see donald trump is the next president, because donald trump trump is saying things like, well, let's let the russians do whatever the hell they want and whatever nato country they want. we're not going to come to their assistance. and the current president biden is saying precisely the opposite and trying to strengthen these alliances. so again, it's very beneficial for putin. they have somebody like a donald trump in the white house as opposed to a biden steve on the question of
10:39 am
nato, there were speculation that putin was waiting until after his reelection to institute another >> mobilization, effectively a military draft in russia. do you expect that to be the case? how do you see the timing of this election now, altering the landscape of the battlefield in ukraine really not a bit because of course it wasn't really an election that was a potemkin village performance. and so to sort of describe any of any of the typical language that we normally use about elections is is again, what putin would like. there was a little, there are, there's always a little bit of stability, tension in russia around the the time of when they put on this performance that they, that they were they'd bring out the ballot boxes and people line up. and so i think putin probably it was waiting because that's a greater probability or possibility for people to take to the streets, which of course, in russia putin pays close attention to. now that that's all sort of behind him. i think some of the is more unpopular things coupled with
10:40 am
some very popular things that he might try to do to, to, to avoid people coming out onto the streets. but now, if russia is going to be serious about winning convincingly, finally, in ukraine, there is going to have to be increased pressure to for him to call up more russian young people who are inevitably going to die in the tens of that how's is if not hundreds of thousands in ukraine >> steve hall, appreciate your perspective. thanks for being with us >> sure. >> of course. >> so next, this can be a game changer for women, especially in rural areas first, over-the-counter birth control now on sale online. the details straight ahead >> leaks, slides, cia secrets. >> valerie plate, valerie plane salary plane lands were at stake? >> yes. my children. this is horrifying united states of scandal with jake tapper. new episode sunday at nine on cnn

10:52 am
anti-lava barriers are diverting the lava but away from communities as other parts of iceland remained in the clear this is happening after the eruption forced the evacuation of the blue lagoon, which is one of the the trees most popular tourist spots you go to iceland, you're going of this thing. so let's talk about this now with jess phoenix, a volcanologist and author misadventure, my wild explorations in science, lava and life. just thanks for being with us again to talk about about this as we watch this for yet another eruption here, one expert said that this eruption on saturday was the most powerful so far. what's behind all of this activity that we're seeing? >> so iceland sits at the >> intersection of two tectonic plates, and those two plates are pulling apart. and so that allows the molten interior of the earth to breach through the crust at the surface and we get volcanic eruptions. iceland just happens to be sitting
10:53 am
right on the jackpot because they are directly on that connection between those tectonic plates. it makes for pretty consistent volcanic activity. sometimes big, sometimes small, but you can guarantee that iceland is always going to be at risk for eruptions yeah, we spoke to you fairly recently when there was a pretty substantial one. how long do you think this one is going to last this time around? >> i, wish i had a crystal ball boris. >> it would be would make volcanologist job a lot easier if we could say how long these eruptions would take. the trick here is that volcanoes are geologic forces. they operate on the scale of millions and billions of years where we humans fence, we live for maybe 100 years. if we're lucky. so this volcano could have eruptions and then quiet periods, eruptions, quiet periods, they could last for days to weeks to months, and
10:54 am
sometimes even years. so i wish i could say but i will say that the eruptive activity has been calming a little bit it's since the initial phase on saturday, so we're seeing a little bit of a decrease, but the hazards are still very real >> just talk to us a little bit about these defensive barriers, which are pretty amazing. the idea that you can divert lava the blue lagoon, which is one of the biggest tourist sites they're in iceland, was shut down in the defensive barriers have been pretty critical to make sure that it remains one of the big tourist sights >> it is a really noble attempt at trying to shape the will of mother nature. it may or may not be effective. now, iceland has a good track record of protecting critical places back in the '70s, they actually we pumped seawater using boats and fire hoses. they pump seawater
10:55 am
onto a lava flow that threatened to close the harbor of a town called heme. and they successfully gauze that lava foe to cool and not close the harbor. so if anyone is going to be able to engineer a solution or defenses it's going to be iceland there is still a chance that the volume of lava will be too great and the defenses will be breached also, fishers could erupt an open up on the protected side of those defenses. so it's no guarantee, but i am very encouraged that a lot of the precautions seem to be paying off yeah, pretty amazing stuff that they're attempting to do. and let's hope succeeding to do there in iceland, just phoenix, a great to have you again, thanks for being with us. >> thanks, briana, thanks, boris us. >> so coming up on the brink of collapse, cnn is inside haiti where gangs are targeting the airport police and power stations and the death toll is rising we hear nothing.
