following these major developing stories and many more, all coming in right here to cnn news central thank you so much for sharing your afternoon with us. >> i'm boris sanchez alongside kayla tausche, who's in for brianna keilar today. kayla, great to have you. >> thank you for having me. >> yeah. any minute now, president trump is expected to meet with republican leaders from the house and senate at the white house, discussing next steps to enact his aggressive legislative agenda. >> it comes as the new president is already putting republican lawmakers on the spot on capitol hill after he pardoned january 6th, rioters convicted of assaulting police officers. cnn's jeff zeleny is live at the white house. cnn's lauren fox is on capitol hill. jeff, let's start with you. what are you hearing about this oval office meeting that's ongoing? >> well, look. >> kayla, there is a lot to talk about between president trump and the. republican

leaders of congress. yes, they have the republican majority, but that does not guarantee legislative success. and you said lightning action there in the lead in that is. unlikely to apply to the legislative work, the legislative process, as we all well know, does not move at a lightning pace. but they do need a strategy. and that's what this meeting is designed to discuss. is there going to be a one bill strategy? that is what the house prefers. and the president has said he prefers as well, one big, beautiful bill, as he likes to say, or a two, uh, a tier strategy that the senate would prefer the budget being on one side. and then priorities like immigration and national defense on the other. we will see. but these are the beginning of the conversations here. it's not clear that they are yet underway, actually, which that would mean that they are behind schedule. that also is not unusual here. the president has a lot on his plate, a lot he wants to get done. but this is the beginning of this really long, painstaking relationship here with the new speaker, the senate majority leader, as well

as the president. and don't forget, government funding runs out in about 52 days or so. so add that on top of all of it. but look, this is the opening gambit, if you will. republicans, of course, earn the majority. now we'll see how they govern. >> jeff, keep us posted as that meeting does get underway. jeff zeleny at the white house. thank you. on capitol hill. lauren, what are you hearing from republicans? they've been talking about trump's pardons for the supporters who assaulted police officers. and i know you've been asking many members about their reaction. yeah. >> kayla, i mean, this. >> today really thrust a lot of republican senators back into where they were in 2017, where every day. >> they were sort of asked about another. >> decision by donald trump. >> obviously, his signing of hundreds of executive actions last night led to a lot of questions on capitol hill about what it means moving forward. but so many republicans had prior to this moment and prior to the announcement of these extensive pardons, argued that they believed donald trump would be very

careful about each and every case that he was reviewing. what happened instead is that some of those who were charged with violent crimes on january 6th either faced commutations or pardons. and i think that that is the concern from some of the senate republicans that i talked to. you know, a lot of them were very careful about going up against donald trump. many of them argued just blanketly that presidential pardon power has a lot of leeway, and they were not going to weigh in on whether or not they agreed or disagreed. but some, like senator thom tillis, who i talked to, argued that he does believe trump's decision really does raise some security questions on capitol hill and does send some message to capitol hill police officers who protect this building and lawmakers in it every single day. here's another republican senator. i talked to, senator james lankford. >> i think if you attack a police officer, that's a very serious issue. and and they should pay a price for that. i

am incredibly grateful for capitol police officers. they are here doing our security, just like the president has. secret service, and they do an incredible job. i think we need to continue to be able to say we are a party of law and order, and that is incredibly important to be able to protect those folks who are protecting us every single day. >> and republicans are just 24 hours into having the white house, the house and the united states senate. and they would much rather be talking about their policy agenda moving forward. jeff alluded to this, but there are still a lot of questions about what is going to come out of that oval office meeting that may begin shortly. but one of the key questions, are they going with a one bill or two bill strategy that just depicts the kinds of challenges ahead? if they can't decide on that simple first step, what does that foretell about their ability to agree on massive tax cuts moving forward, as well as border provisions? one of the. >> one of the reasons why trump wants this to be in one package, because it reduces the margin for error. but we shall see. lauren fox. lauren, thank

you. >> so because of the blanket pardons from president trump, the leaders of two extremist groups convicted for their roles in the january 6th capitol riot today are free men. stewart rhodes, the head of the oath keepers, was released from a maryland prison where he was serving an 18 year sentence for seditious conspiracy and some other felony charges. >> and enrique tarrio, the former proud boys chairman, was set free from a louisiana prison where he was serving a 22 year sentence for similar crimes. they are just two of the roughly 1500 people charged in the capitol attack who have now been granted clemency by trump. more than 140 police officers were injured during that seven hour siege. cnn's katelyn polantz joins us now from the washington, dc, jail, where the first two prisoners were released overnight. caitlin, it looks like there's a crowd gathering there. where do things stand with the others? >> caitlin. boris. it's a crowd. because it wasn't just two men released overnight.

there's at least been one other person released from the d.c. jail who was awaiting resentencing. this woman in the pink hat. that's rachel powell, a mother from pennsylvania who was convicted and sentenced to several months in prison, more than a year for having an ice ax, trying to get inside a window of the capitol building and then using a large cardboard tube as a battering ram. then she's been held in this facility for some time because she was awaiting to be resentenced after the supreme court cut away some of her charges. but what's happening here now is she's talking to her supporters. january 6th riot supporters and supporters of donald trump and her family. they were here to receive her. she came out of the jail. they surrounded her with hugs. they had clothing for her, including that pink hat. now she wore a different pink hat during the capitol riot. when those images of her became quite a viral sensation, and she spoke about what it was like inside this jail, that there's a community of people here outside the jail

that have been very supportive of the people held here, a couple dozen, if that, inside here, as they awaited more proceedings in dc's federal court. these are not the people that were already in the bureau of prison system. those people like stewart rhodes and enrique tarrio, you mentioned those people were already doing their time in other facilities across the country and are being released today. but now at the dc jail, we're waiting to see others who will be or very likely will be released today or even in the coming hours and minutes. these groups, many of the people here, they're singing, some are singing god bless america. some are speaking on microphones about jesus, about trump, about january 6th, and they are gathering around, talking, waiting to receive other people. there even was a member of congress here earlier, a republican from arizona. and they are all quite pleased to see this saga come to the end, at least for the people that donald trump has pardoned more

than a thousand people charged with misdemeanors who went into the capitol and filmed things, as well as people charged with violent crimes, even seditious conspiracy. >> all right. >> caitlin, we know that you will bring us these developments as they continue on site at the dc jail, as those who were pardoned are now being released. we appreciate it. katelyn polantz. we're also following the impact of president trump's executive orders on immigration. the white house border czar tom homan, telling cnn this afternoon ice will arrest anyone caught in the country illegally. in what he describes as targeted enforcement operations. >> when we go find our priority target, which is a criminal alien, if he's with others in the united states illegally, we're going to take enforcement action against them. we're going to enforce the immigration law trump's immigration crackdown also includes declaring a national emergency at the southern border, initiating a process to end birthright citizenship, and ending the cbp. >> one app, which had given migrants a pathway for entering

the u.s. legally. cnn's valeria leon is live near the border at ciudad juarez, mexico. valeria, what kind of reaction are you seeing there? >> well, a lot of frustration here. this is the local mexican office where the migrants with canceled cbp one appointments were brought by mexican authorities. and this after showing up at the international port, where they were rejected by u.s. officials. then the mexican government brought them here. and at this moment, they are receiving some information. some of them also received food. hot soup, tuna candies, and also information about the available shelters here at this border town of ciudad juarez, where the migrants can stay for the next days or weeks. and migrants spirits were crushed after they discovered that the

cbp one app was canceled and they have been left without the electronic resource to seek asylum in the u.s. now, dreams of thousands of migrants are stuck on the us-mexico border, and i had the opportunity to talk to some of them this morning. this is part of what they told me. estando yahya sinwar dos dias antes llegué comprar aviso para estar a la hora. este indicada y de la nada. ya no puedo pasar ellos ya no dice. nada y uno queda aca. >> esperar a ver. >> qué dice. >> a ver. >> si ya. déjame pasar. las personas. solo falta de tener. >> to of welcoming deported mexicans. the federal government has said the federal government has set up 25 temporary shelters along the

mexico u.s. border. this is to receive mexican deportees in the next weeks or even months. they don't actually know the exact moment where they are, and neither the exact number of how many deportees are going to be here in the next weeks on the mexico-u.s. border. but border towns are working around the clock and hoping that their infrastructure can accommodate the thousands that would arrive here. if trump carries out his plans of mass deportations valeria leon, thank you so much for that update from ciudad juarez. >> still to come, congressional leaders are at the white house meeting with president trump and hashing out his agenda. right now, we're going to discuss how much he's going to be able to accomplish in his first 100 days, plus the extent of his executive orders with republican congresswoman nicole malliotakis next. >> plus, as a candidate, he promised to end russia's war in ukraine within 24 hours of taking office. now, as president trump says, russia

could be facing, quote, big trouble if putin doesn't make a deal. and later, this is what a park near downtown houston looks like. after a once in a generation winter storm. historic amounts of snow are falling in florida, louisiana and texas. that and much more. coming up on cnn news central. >> this part. >> changed my life. >> superman. crazy. just that simple little thing over the horse. >> chris wanted to change the world. >> people are. >> literally walking. >> because of. >> him. superman. the christopher reeve story february 2nd on cnn. >> if you're living with dry amd, you may be at risk for developing geographic atrophy or ga. ga can be unpredictable and progress rapidly, leading to irreversible vision loss. now there's something you can do to. >> slow it. >> down and. >> get it going slower. >> ask your doctor about isaac herzog. >> i survey gaetz ga going

accomplish the president's ambitious legislative agenda. but there is a question as to how much he'll be able to get done in his first 100 days with some of his executive orders already facing legal challenges and political pushback. here with us now to discuss republican congresswoman nicole malliotakis of new york. she's the assistant whip for the house republican conference. conference, i should say. congresswoman, thank you so much for being with us, starting on immigration. trump's border czar, tom homan, spoke with dana bash earlier today. i know you had spoken with him a few weeks ago. what can you tell us about how this mass deportation process is going to play out, and who specifically will be targeted, and when? >> yeah. >> well, it should really be beginning this week. tom homan made it very clear that they are focused on the dangerous criminals. he wants to rid our cities and our country of people who are members of the drug cartels, sex traffickers, gang members, criminals who have been wreaking havoc in cities like mine. we've seen thousands of of arrests in new york city alone of individuals

that were let in by the biden administration. and so those individuals are the ones that they're focused on and will target new york city sanctuary law does prohibit cooperation, which makes it difficult. and it puts those law enforcement agents at great risk. but the city law does allow for them to cooperate when it comes to violent offenders and sex offenders. and mayor adams has indicated that he will do that. and that's very important because it will protect the public, it will protect our police officers. and certainly those ice agents who have to go in there and find these individuals. if the city does not cooperate. >> what is your understanding of how the administration is going to approach those sanctuary sanctuary cities who do not cooperate? >> well, look, they're going to try to do everything they can to get these cities to cooperate. and it's very disturbing that chicago has already indicated that they won't help. i mean, if they're going to be focusing on people who are committing crimes in our city, people who have been arrested and then are being

released because of laws like we have in new york, the bail law that allows people that even assaulted police officers to be released back onto the streets, that is very disturbing. and i think the public would like to see these democrat run cities and states actually cooperate when it comes to these criminals. why are they protecting people wreaking havoc in our city? it's wrong. and even here in washington, we saw a great bill passed last week with overwhelmingly bipartisan support. the laken riley act, which would allow for individuals to be detained and deported who commit crimes. but then you have my attorney general in new york, tish james, saying that it's a terrible law and it should not be signed. so for some reason, some of these left wing members who represent states and cities like mine are not having common sense when it comes to making our cities safe and getting rid of those people who have really caused a lot of damage, committing crimes in our in our communities. >> understood. congresswoman,

i'm curious to get your perspective on trump's executive order ending birthright citizenship, in part because you are the daughter of immigrant parents. do you think the united states should end birthright citizenship? >> well, i think that, first of all, there's a legal precedent here. but when you go back to the i think it was in 1898 when it was challenged in the supreme court, that was when the parents were citizens. so i think there's maybe a difference here. if your parents are a are u.s. citizens or if they are at least here legally and they have legal status. i think president trump is focused on are the people who are here illegally, and i think that could make a difference because something like that has never been heard before in the u.s. supreme court. so of course, we see that there are legal challenges already that was expected. and we'll see how this plays out. and it'll be very interesting to see, because, again, the precedent that was set that people are pointing to was regarding parents who were citizens or, or, or at least legal, had legal status here,

rather, and having children, they do deserve the birthright citizenship. >> would you be comfortable deporting children that have never lived anywhere else in the world, because their parents brought them here? not within their control. and they grew up here essentially dreamers, right? people that have established their lives here that that may have, you know, put down roots here that have jobs that have contributed to society, that have not broken the law. would you be comfortable deporting them because they don't have birthright citizenship? >> well, we're not i don't think we're talking about retroactively taking away people's birthright citizenship. if they were born here and they had the birthright citizenship at the time, they are indeed u.s. citizens. he's talking about new individuals who may be given birthright citizenship. now, with regards to the daca recipients. i think what you're you're focused on is we'll have to see how that plays out, because in the past, president trump had been open in providing a pathway to citizenship for individuals who did grow up here and spent

many years here, were educated here. and, and, and this is the only country that they know. so i think that's still up for discussion about how that may work, work its way into this entire border security and immigration policy of the trump administration. i think people may actually be surprised to see what happens here, because in the past, he has alluded to wanting to provide some type of merit based or service based pathway to citizenship for those young people. >> congresswoman, i do want to pivot to ask about trump's pardons for january 6th. rioters about four years ago, after being moved to a secure location by capitol police, you tweeted in part, quote, everyone who is responsible for this violence and lawlessness must stop. this is absolutely unacceptable and un-american. do you think president trump did the right thing by pardoning rioters who assaulted police officers? >> well, i do i do have an issue with those who assaulted police officers. and i think that those do need to serve the

time that is unacceptable. i've always sided with our police officers in saying that any assault or cop killers should never. the cop killers should never be released. in fact, i very much disagree with what president biden has done with actually commuting the sentences of multiple cop killers and people who killed fbi agents and service members as well. so it's not right in either in either, whether it was the democrats or the republicans that do it. i will say that some of those who protested did serve already nearly four years of of sentences. and i think that, you know, again, each president has the prerogative to be able to pardon those individuals. i may not always agree with all of it. i think some of those protesters or some who were just walking through the capitol were treated very unfairly. but the people who assaulted our police officers do need to do need to, you know, pay the consequence for that. >> i do wonder what your message would be to those capitol hill police officers who

were injured and assaulted, defending fellow republicans who now are defending these pardons? >> well, look, i can only speak for myself, and certainly i stand with our capitol police and all our law enforcement. i'm very proud to be one of the few individuals here in congress that actually, in the past, has received the endorsement of the capitol police union, and we have to support our law enforcement. we need to hold those who injure them and kill them accountable. and sadly, i mean, this is something that we see happening in governments all across the country. my state, the parole board, has released dozens of cop killers. that is unacceptable. and so we have to also point that out when when it occurs here at the local and state level. >> congresswoman nicole malliotakis, we have to leave the conversation there. thanks so much for the time. >> thank you. >> so president trump is stirring up potential trade wars with threats of tariffs. we're going to tell you what that could mean for americans

>> well, boris and kayla, look, the president has started off really hitting the ground running. he had this avalanche of executive actions that he signed. he's proposing sweeping reforms to everything from immigration and trade to regulation and energy. and anytime there is a change in power, there's going to be uncertainty. but there's even more uncertainty right now, just given the sheer scale of the changes that president trump is proposing. and there's a lot of major questions looming over the economy right now, whether or not these executive actions from president trump are going to be impactful when he's going to increase tariffs and how high they're going to go, and whether or not these mass deportations are going to starve key industries of workers. and what's notable is that despite all this rhetoric, the president is really inheriting a very healthy economy. the consumers continue to spend money. the

unemployment rate is at 4.1%. only two presidents in modern history have entered office with lower unemployment rates. and that was george w bush back in 2001 and richard nixon back in 1968. of course, trump knows that americans are not frustrated with the jobs market. it's the cost of living that remains the major issue, right? how much more money everyone is spending on everything from groceries to car insurance. and trump has promised to really tackle this issue head on. but he's also called for prices to actually drop. he's promised that prices are going to go down under him. and economists that i talked to, they say that that is just very unlikely unless there's some sort of severe recession or even depression. prices are not going to outright drop. but ultimately, trump may not need price drops to be successful on the economy. what he needs to root for is for paychecks to

continue to go up at a faster pace than prices, and the longer that that continues, the better. everyone's going to be able to feel about this economy and about the cost of living. >> and then there is the stock market, which we know is president trump's preferred scorecard for his administrations. and stocks today have been rallying, notably after he did not follow through on his vow to impose sweeping tariffs on day one, essentially breathing a sigh of relief. how do you interpret this? >> well, you're right, it is kind of ironic, right after so many different executive actions yesterday from the white house, it's actually what president trump did not do that is really encouraging investors. and that's the fact that he did not keep that promise, that threat to impose day one tariffs on mexico and canada and china, though we should note that last night, trump did say that he still plans to increase tariffs on canada and mexico on february 1st. and so we can expect investors to pay very close attention to those threats

because, listen, investors love the tax cuts and the deregulation that the president is promising, but not the tariffs. >> matt egan, thank you so much for that. let's bring in richard quest. richard, how are leaders there reacting to donald trump's return to the white house and his first day back in office? >> well, it depends which. >> side of the fence you're on. if you are the bankers and the financiers and the hedge funds, and if you are in love with crypto. and by the way, guys, there's a whole load of them up there that that's all they live for. then you're a hoop. this is what you want. you are going to be off to the races with the new trump administration. on the other side of the fence are all those ngos, non-governmental? organizations, the dis, the social work, anything to do with, if you will, the poverty, the the less, if you will, those who have less. they are absolutely gutted by what they see

as being very mean spirited policies over the next four years. and i think that is the way it's going to be, as seen from somewhere like davos. you have those who are talking about the environment, the climate, energy policy, social welfare nets and all those sort of things. and they are not encouraged, pretty much like the bishop who gave the invocation today at the cathedral in washington. on the other side, you have the growth creators, the wealth creators. and they are saying, nope, best thing that's ever happened. america is off to the races. >> and richard, what about the consensus regarding tariffs? i mean, is there one? it seems like a lot of these countries are bracing or bracing for for a trade war, essentially. >> yes. look, to most economists and most government leaders, if you will. it's the equivalent of being told the world is

flat after all, because the traditional orthodoxy ever since the 1920s has been targeted tariffs work, targeted tariffs, good general sweeping tariffs, bad smoot-hawley, led to recessions, led to depressions. not a good idea. now you have the u.s. president. not only tariffing but tariffing allies and close allies and even allies within treaties like of course, canada and mexico. so the orthodoxy has been thrown out the window. they are all basically saying, all right, bring it on. you want tariffs, we will retaliate. and you know, the phrase the rising tide lifts all boats. well, the sinking ship takes all down with it. >> yikes. richard quest, thank you so much for the analysis. appreciate it. when we come back this is florida. florida the sunshine state where snow is falling heavily today. new orleans and houston

new records or modern records doubling the modern records for sure. and lafayette, you just now reported 9.5in of snow. there will be places in the southern part of the u.s. that have a foot of snow on the ground, and likely not even a snowplow in the county. that's what this is going to be like. this is going to be a storm that really slows things or stops things for a very long time. and it's going to snow in new orleans for many more hours, more hours for you, mobile for gulfport all the way over hasn't even started yet, really for destin, but it's not far offshore. here is all the snow still to come. the heaviest snow still to come for some places with widespread disruptions. i-10 is completely shut down. i mean, if you go from mobile to really almost texas, very little of i-10 is actually on the ground. it's above the ground, it's on pilings, and it's just a big, long bridge. well, the bridges just can't handle this type of snow. they can't keep it off. so savannah, charleston all the way up, all the way to virginia beach will have snow on the

their economy. you take a look at the inflation and russia. so i would, i would hope. >> joining me now is cnn national security analyst beth saner, who served as deputy director of national intelligence in trump's first administration. beth, it's good to see you. trump's special envoy to ukraine has asked for 100 days to reach a deal, which is warp speed, considering how the war has been grinding for three years. what do you think will happen in that time frame? >> i don't think that they're going to get there. and i think that actually president trump has been more realistic by saying that in recent weeks, by saying that it might take six months. and, you know, i think that this year coming to an agreement is going to be difficult. and and he pointed out exactly why. so he, he, you know, he understands the main problem here is russia. he said zelenskyy is ready to do a deal. but putin i'm not so

sure. and the implication of that is that he doesn't believe that, that they're ready and he's kind of trolling putin, isn't he? >> yeah. well, having covered trump's first administration, i mean, his instinct has always been just get in the room and talk. and to that end, he said that he has set a meeting with russian president vladimir putin. i mean, you have briefed the president in your previous role as deputy director of intelligence. i'm curious how trump approaches these meetings and what you expect from that sitdown. >> well, i think they're dangling that, but they're not saying when it is, because i think what we heard right now is part of the negotiation. right. and trump is always negotiating. so he's trolling. he's dangling the opportunity because putin wants that one on one. that great man to great man negotiation. and president trump definitely understands that. so you know he is now trying to play on putin's vulnerabilities by saying you know that's not a

good look right. that doesn't look good. you're failing. and and so these are all the kinds of things that he will do. but during that meeting he'll also lay on the charm and try to encourage putin to understand that he will be economically better off if he does a deal. >> in that davos speech, president zelenskyy suggested that trump, in those talks with russia, could ignore europe altogether. i want to listen to what he said in more detail and get your reaction on the other side. >> we see how. >> much influence. >> china has on russia, and we are and. >> we. >> are deeply grateful to europe for all the support it has given our country during this war. but will president trump listen to europe, or will he negotiate with russia and china without europe? europe needs to learn how how to fully take care of itself so that the world can't

afford to ignore it. >> it seems he meant that as a warning. but that's essentially what president trump has been asking for to have europe defend itself. what do you make of that? >> zelenskyy is speaking as a european, and he wants europe to stand up, and he wants europe to be part of the negotiation because he knows that europe is going to be really in defense of ukraine in these negotiations. so i think that zelenskyy is trying to give europe a spine and they need it. >> well, that war will enter its fourth year on february 22nd. of course, the clock is ticking. beth sanner, we appreciate your time today. thank you. >> thanks, kayla. >> when we come back, you can now buy airplane tickets using venmo. why jetblue is bringing the popular app on board.

areas that don't often get this kind of snow. so the reaction from people is part of the fun of not being in it. >> but watching grown up in one of those areas are winter coats are just a fleece jacket. so godspeed to everyone. >> so here's a quick question. have you ever used venmo to pay back a friend? now you can use it to travel all over the world. jetblue says that customers can now use venmo to book their flights. it's the first airline partnership for the popular payment app. customers now have the option to use venmo on jetblue's website instead of those archaic, old timey methods like using a debit or credit card. >> plastic is so out, the airline hopes this gives customers an easier way to book flights. jetblue has been searching for ways to broaden its appeal in recent months, including adding new features to its own app and creating airport lounges. but i want to know, do i need to know the last four digits of jetblue's phone number to be able to pay? >> that's a good question. >> how does this work? >> we'll get back to you on that. the lead with jake tapper starts right now.
