>> hello and welcome to all of our viewers watching in the united states and around the world. i'm kristie lu stout in hong kong. and ahead on cnn newsroom, a trade war averted. columbia and the trump white house come to terms on the deportation of migrants in the u.s. officials carry out immigration raids from one end of the country to the other, signaling a crackdown on people accused of being there illegally. and world leaders gathered to commemorate the liberation of auschwitz, which happened 80 years ago today. >> live from hong kong. this is cnn newsroom with kristie lu stout. >> at this hour, u.s. deportation flights to colombia have resumed after a dizzying

turn of events late on sunday. u.s. president donald trump imposed and then quickly suspended a 25% tariff on colombia. as long as the country agrees to accept those flights. the colombian foreign minister now says that they have overcome the impasse, with the u.s. now, the white house issued a statement saying this, quote, the government of colombia has agreed to all of president trump's terms, including the unrestricted acceptance of all illegal aliens from colombia returned from the united states, including on u.s. military aircraft, without limitation or delay. the statement went on to say president trump will continue to fiercely protect our nation's sovereignty. now, cnn contributor stefano pozzebon is following the latest developments from bogota, colombia. >> well, diplomacy has worked late on sunday night. the colombian government and the u.s. government announced that they had overcome the diplomatic

row surrounding the deportation flights earlier on sunday. colombia had blocked two military flights carrying colombian migrants being deported back from the united states, to which the u.s. president, donald trump, retaliated with the imposition of tariffs on colombian imports. for a few hours, it seemed that trump and the colombian president, gustavo petro, were just about to trigger a trade war by posting on each other's social media. but in the end, late on sunday, it was the the foreign minister, luis gilberto murillo, announcing that the diplomatic impasse had been resolved. colombia would still accept deportation flights back from the united states. and, on the other hand, the united states would back off from imposing tariffs or sanctions on these key ally in latin america. yet this impasse, however resolved, is a sign of the headwinds that the

white house is facing as it tries to launch these new mass deportation plan, especially here in latin america, and especially as this week, the new secretary of state, marco rubio, is preparing to tour the region by going to panama, guatemala, the dominican republic and el salvador, all countries where the u.s. is planning to send planes with migrants deported back to their home countries. for cnn, this is stefano possebon, bogota, colombia. >> earlier i spoke with ryan patel. he's a senior fellow at the drucker school of management at claremont graduate university, and he told me what could have happened if the planned tariffs between the u.s. and colombia went into effect. >> in the future, there's a blueprint here. so for colombia and the u.s., you know, the key exports to the u.s. you think of coffee, flowers, oil and minerals. i mean i had all the stats ready to go about flowers. even with the colombian industry right around valentine's day, you know,

obviously who would have gotten hurt more would have been in colombia, right? it's clear that the u.s. is one of the colombia's largest trading partners for the u.s. weaker bargaining power. i can go down the list, but really, what this stood out to me was the u.s. using leverage in a specific industry with colombia. however, the tensions in latin america with that, like brazil stepping up to protect colombia would have caused some issues in this. and i think why i think this is a blueprint here. president trump has stated bilateral trade deals, right. this is i know it's tied to migration, but this is a step that shows the rest of the world that they're willing to do some type of deals in the future when it comes to economic pressures. and this is an example, and maybe it was on the list for the u.s. but an example where the leverage was obviously in the u.s. power to be able to should they went down to the tariffs and play that 25%, 50%. christie, this would have not been pretty if both sides would have done this.

>> you know, this flare up between the u.s. and colombia has been resolved. but as you say, this leaves a blueprint. so let's pivot to mexico and canada and figure out what it means for them. because these tariffs on those two countries are set to begin on saturday. could we see a scenario play out, as it did with colombia, where trump is using economic threats to negotiate something? >> i think we will. you know, i think so. >> i think the answer to the question is yes, but not to what we saw in colombia, where it escalated so fast. right? i mean, this this was going to cost the supply chain disruption. businesses weren't even prepared for those in the u.s. going to colombia. how would they use for different ways to, you know, get that supply chain in with mexico and canada? i think those conversations i think i know this conversation is behind the scenes on how to get there. i think the rhetoric won't be as strong where, you know, you're talking about 50%. christie. i mean, that changes that changes the landscape of industries. and

i think, you know, we are going to see it's a negotiation. he's been pretty clear. his blueprint from the last presidency has been that. and i think we're going to see more bilateral trade deals. and obviously they're starting with what is closest to them. the biggest two partners that they have. so it will be very interesting to see what comes out of it and what industries get resolved. and maybe others. maybe we don't see a whole full trade deal and see certain industries get resolved. >> ryan patel there, speaking to me earlier. now, the trump administration is currently in the midst of a massive immigration enforcement blitz launched from coast to coast over the weekend. nearly 1000 arrests were reported on sunday, and authorities raided cities from atlanta to los angeles, from san juan, puerto rico, to austin, texas. but the democratic governor of illinois says agents aren't just targeting violent criminals. he says that they're also targeting law abiding people. people with jobs and families. now, fear is

spreading quickly. in the united states's third largest city, chicago, where some of these immigration raids are taking place. cnn's rosa flores has more. >> the trump administration's border czar, tom homan, was here in chicago last year, and he made a promise. he said that chicago would be ground zero for mass deportations, that chicago would be the epicenter of these mass deportations. and he has kept his promise. we have learned from ice officials that immigration agents are in chicago. they are on the ground, and they are enforcing immigration law. they are doing targeted enforcement of individuals who pose a threat to public safety or a threat to national security. here's how tom homan told abc news about these enforcement actions. >> but you can see the numbers steadily increase. the number of arrests nationwide as we open up the aperture right now is

concentrating on public safety threats, national security threats. that's a smaller population. so we're going to do this on a priority basis. as president trump promised. but as that aperture opens, there will be more arrests nationwide. >> now, homan described these individuals with criminal backgrounds as a small population. well, we also learned from ice that ice officials will be getting quotas. in essence, according to ice, that ice offices across the united states will be required to arrest 75 people per day per ice office. that's going to put a lot of pressure on ice agents to go into communities and arrest people. again, homan himself saying that there's a very small population of immigrants who actually have criminal backgrounds. so then how are these individuals going to meet their quotas? i can tell you from talking to sources and contacts here in chicago, that there is a lot of fear in immigrant communities, so much so that some individuals say

that some people are not going to work, they are not sending their children to school. they are cooping up in their homes because they are in so much fear. now, these are individuals that don't have criminal backgrounds. these are individuals who are going through asylum proceedings, but they're afraid that they might be caught in these mass deportations. as a matter of fact, there are organizations here in the in the chicago area that are dropping off groceries for some migrants because migrants are not going to the grocery store, they're not going to work. and now they're really worried that they might not have enough money for rent. whenever rent is due. so there's a lot of pressure, there's a lot of fear, a lot of anxiety here in the city of chicago that we've learned from organizations, civil rights groups that are out helping migrants. now, we don't know exactly where the ice

enforcement actions have happened in chicago so far, but we're expecting to learn more from ice about those numbers and about where these enforcement actions actually happened. rosa flores, cnn, chicago. >> joining me now is ron brownstein, cnn senior political analyst, senior editor at the atlantic. and ron, good to see you. thank you so much for joining us. let's talk about trump's first week. a lot has happened. he has moved fast to impose his will on washington and the united states. you have the trump immigration raids. you have the firing of civil servants. you have the pardoning of the january 6th rioters. you have those sweeping executive orders. what do you make of how and how quickly trump has asserted his power so far? >> yeah, i really have two big takeaways in my mind from the first week. one is that trump is going to push until he is stopped. i mean, he is making very clear that he is willing to

push way beyond traditional boundaries of the usage of presidential power. talking about impounding funds that are appropriated by congress, ignoring a law that required him to give 30 day notice before firing the inspector generals at departments and in a variety of other ways, signaling that unless he is stopped, he is basically going to make pretty much untrammeled assertions of executive power. and that leads me to my second conclusion, which is that really the locus, the focus of activity over the next four years is going to be the executive branch, much more than the congress. i mean, there is the one big bill that trump wants the republicans in congress to pass that will have his tax cuts, the extension of his tax cuts, that will have spending cuts, that will have some more funding for his deportation agenda. but by and large, most of what he wants to do, as he demonstrated very clearly in the first week, is going to

be through executive action, unilateral, unilateral executive branch action, regulatory action, executive orders, spending decisions, enforcement, tariffs and so forth. doesn't seem like there's a lot of stomach among republicans in congress to confront him. and what that means is that how far he goes in transforming america over these next four years is really, i think, going to be determined by how far the courts let him go. >> you know, and we have certainly seen him exert his executive power when it comes to immigration. how far is he going to go on that front? >> yeah. you know, immigration and tariffs were probably his two biggest domestic policy proposals during the campaign. and he has enormous leeway on both of them. the courts historically have been very deferential to presidential power in managing the immigration system. the court might not go as far as he wants. it would be unlikely, i think, in terms of ending birthright citizenship, which is something that was put in our constitution

after the civil war, in the 14th amendment. i don't think the court is going to let him undo that with just an executive order. not inconceivable, but unlikely, but pretty broadly beyond that, he has a lot of executive leeway here. and you can see on all of these different ways from threatening to prosecute local officials in blue states and cities who don't fully cooperate to setting new quotas for immigrations officers, for catching and deporting people. you know, on every and all sorts of other legal changes and undoing what biden did every front. he is signaling that this is going to be a major focus and a major escalation of attempts that we've seen in the past to remove people who are here illegally. >> and, ron, president trump has been accused of distorting the u.s. constitution to expand executive power. so, you know, is he at the peak of his power right now? could there be some major obstacles ahead? >> well, as i said, i think the

obstacle is more likely to be the courts than congress. and we don't know how big an obstacle that will be. you know, republicans in congress. i think the fact that 50 of them are willing to vote for his defense department nominee in the senate, pete hegseth, who was facing allegations and evidence that probably would have made it impossible for any of the hundreds of thousands of military personnel that he will now be overseeing to be promoted. i mean, can you imagine someone in the army being promoted from one rank to another, facing the allegations that hegseth did? and yet virtually every republican voted for him? i think, you know, there may be they may be four who say no to tulsi gabbard or four less likely to say no to robert f. kennedy jr.. but by and large, congress is not going to be a meaningful constraint on him, which means it really does come down to the courts. and if it comes down to the courts, what you're really talking about, it comes down to the six republican appointed justices on the supreme court. and i think we can pretty unequivocally say that john roberts and those other republican justices on the

supreme court are going to be the most important factor, i think, in what america looks like after the four years of trump and whether our constitutional system still fundamentally looks like it has in the past, or whether we are in a new era of really strong man power out of the president. >> yeah. so is this that new era, you know, does this first week of the trump 2.0 presidency signal what's to come? a president that will, on his terms, using his executive power, radically transform the united states. >> that's his goal, right? i mean, very clearly, he is leaving no doubt about the magnitude of his ambition. in this first week, across a very broad range of issues. and as i say, he's not likely to get a lot of pushback from congress. he may get pushback from the public on, you know, some of these ideas, certainly pardoning the january 6th rioters, the violent one is not popular. mass deportation that's too indiscriminate is not popular. ending birthright

citizenship is not popular. but ultimately, that can't really be expressed until 2026, when republicans might lose the house. i think the real issue, the real constraint, the circuit breaker here is how far john roberts and the other republican appointees on the supreme court will let him go, because it's pretty clear that he is not going to stop at the traditional boundaries we've seen from presidents. he's not going to stop until somebody makes him. >> yeah. it has been a week of drastic changes, for sure, with more ahead. ron brownstein, we'll leave it at that. thank you for joining us. >> thanks for having me. >> now in southern california, many of the wildfires have caused so much damage, are close to containment. but the scorched land left behind is facing a new threat. flash floods and mudslides. now, flood watches are now in effect until monday afternoon local time, and rain moving through right now, it may be good for battling fires, but too much of it on dry, hardened

soil can trigger mudslides and trigger debris flow and several road closures have already been reported. in fact, places like l.a. county could see between half an inch and one inch of rainfall, while higher elevations could get as much as three inches. a displaced palestinians are finally being allowed to return home to northern gaza. we have details of the latest agreement between israel and hamas just ahead and few, if any, surprises in belarus's presidential election as alexander lukashenko heads toward a seventh term. the latest when we come back. >> i feel like new sunglasses, like a brand new pair of jeans. i feel alive. brand new

another three more hostages on saturday. now, the united states said on sunday that the cease fire agreement between lebanon and israel would remain in effect until february 18th. a lebanese officials said at least 22 people were killed and more than 120 injured by israeli forces as thousands of people tried to return home to the south after a sunday israeli withdrawal deadline passed. the idf had released an order on sunday prohibiting residents from returning to their villages. belarusian president alexander lukashenko has easily won a seventh straight term in office. that's according to the country's election commission. officials say the close ally of the russian president, vladimir putin, received nearly 87% of the vote. critics have called it a sham. european politicians complained that this was not a fair vote because independent media banned in belarus and leading opposition figures have been detained or driven into

exile. the country's 2020 election resulted in scenes of mass protests after opponents accused the government of cheating and mr. lukashenko's favor. now a baltic undersea internet cable was damaged on sunday. it's according to investigators in latvia and while it's too early to know exactly what happened, local officials are suggesting the cable was struck by an external force. this comes after several other internet cables in the baltic were cut in recent months. european officials remain on high alert as nato suspects a potential sabotage campaign since russia's invasion of ukraine in 2022. power, gas and communication pipelines in the region have suffered disruptions. now cnn's nic robertson joins the nato forces patrolling the baltic sea and brings us an inside look at their mission to protect the critical undersea infrastructure. there

they're tiny. they're vulnerable. they're easily cut in these waters between estonia and finland and beyond. an unseen enemy is believed to have been targeting internet and power cables. the subsea drones and the battleships getting eyes on the threat. >> a lot of the ships that we found are acting strangely originate in a russian port, or are going to a russian port. >> this ship anchor, suspected of being dragged on the seabed, intentionally damaging cables christmas day. how far are these anchors being dragged? >> i understand a couple of hundred miles. >> is that normal? >> no. >> how does that happen? can a captain not notice? >> very good question. and my guess is no, a captain doesn't know that. and that's probably intentional. >> repairs can be complicated, costly, and take months. worst

case, an entire nation can be cut off from the internet. under the sea. here, there are multiple cables linking estonia with finland in the baltic sea. dozens more. the numbers keep growing across the globe. there are hundreds of cables. according to nato. more than 800,000 miles of cable carrying $10 trillion of international trade. the mission, critical enough to have expensive fighter jets on tap. conditions at sea level, though the biggest challenge, as we saw on a relatively calm day. each nato warship bringing its own specialty. this one sonar. less than two weeks into the mission, commanders at sea increasingly confident who is responsible and who is the threat here? >> russia. that's for. that's quite clear.

>> russia denies any role. but by this day's end, more nato nations committing forces to baltic century. the flotilla growing nato hq commanders facing tough choices. >> the proof of the smoking gun. um, it's it's very, very difficult. we have to balance between this moving into something that can become very ugly. and what i mean by that is warfare. >> nic robertson, cnn in the gulf of finland, the baltic sea. >> 80 years ago today, soviet soldiers liberated the auschwitz concentration camp. and now you're looking at live video on your screens. commemorations are underway as survivors, as world leaders are gathering there to remember. and they want the world to make sure that the world never forgets. that's next. you're watching cnn.

and important anniversary. right now, world leaders are gathering in poland to mark 80 years since the liberation of the auschwitz-birkenau concentration camp. nazis murdered more than 1 million people at the camp over the course of five years. part of the 6 million jews killed during the holocaust. when soviet troops arrived at the gates of auschwitz in 1945, they liberated some 7000 weak and emaciated prisoners and most victims of the holocaust were jews. but the nazis also targeted poles. the roma, gays and soviet prisoners of war. this year's commemoration comes as the number of survivors is rapidly dwindling and anti-semitism is on the rise across europe and the middle east. i'm melissa bell is in poland, near the infamous nazi concentration camp of auschwitz. she joins us now live. and melissa again, it has been 80

years since the liberation of this infamous death camp. could you describe what's been happening this day, the events of this day? >> this is a commemoration that is expected by those organizing it to be one of the last big ones. they hold them every five years where there will be any great numbers of survivors. they expect about 50 of them here today, and for many of them, it's been a difficult journey to make. it was exactly 80 years ago that soviet troops stumbled upon this camp. the reason there were only several thousand prisoners left is that most of them had been taken off on those infamous death marches towards other concentration camps. now we got to catch up with one of those survivors who left the camp on that death march, who came here as a little girl. she was just 12 years old. and when she initially came off that train with her two sisters, her elder sister and her twin, she had initially been sent left straight to the gas chambers. it

was her big sister's intervention, pointing out that she was a twin that saved her and placed her into the hands of josef mengele. now she speaks of the experiments that were made on her at the time, of how painful they were, and what jona laks had to tell us ahead of the speech. she'll be making here later today, was that she's been often asked over the course of the last 80 years whether there was any solace to be found in the fact that she was with her sister. >> but there was nothing she could do for me, and there was nothing i could do for her. and there was no interaction and no questions. and even if it was painful, i because i knew that i'm not allowed to cry or i'm not allowed. i'm not allowed to point where it is painful. i would not do it because i was sort of taught that i need to accept everything. what is being done?

>> how important is it that the world marks this and understands what happened.? >> at my advanced age? it's really courageous to come back. i must say, i didn't want to. my family was against it. it's true. it's unpleasant. it doesn't do any good for your heart or for your mind or for anything. but it's necessary. it's necessary for the world to know now, miralax will be one of those speaking today. >> and the point about this 80th anniversary, these 80th commemorations, is that it is the voice of the survivors that will be central. there will be no heads of state making any speeches today, even though just under a dozen of them will be attending, including the king of king of england and the king of spain. the people who will be speaking here today are the survivors, because it is those

voices that are likely to go over the next few years, and because of the importance of remembering what happened here, given that rise in anti-semitism in europe, once again. >> it is, as you say, the voices of the survivors that are so central this day. melissa bell, we thank you for bringing us that interview. we thank you for your reporting. take care. now, cnn's senior political commentator, van jones is at auschwitz. he's been traveling with a group of african american leaders, and he joins us now live. and van, thank you for joining us this day. and thank you for being there. how is anti-semitism and racism being addressed by the leaders gathering there today at auschwitz? >> well, first, i just want to say, um, it's just been an emotionally devastating. experience. um, everyone must come to auschwitz. it is impossible to understand. it is

impossible to understand what hatred can do unless you make a pilgrimage here. i'm here at the american, at the. at the auschwitz jewish center foundation. they've opened up the doors for us to see everything. uh, there are black leaders here. uh, billionaire robert smith is here. john hope bryant is here. melinda heil is here. pastor carl day, also the legendary gospel singer victory boyd is here. everyone is just devastated to see a factory designed to murder human beings. you think about 9/11, 3000 people murdered. we've never gotten over it. they were killing 6000 human beings a day. every single day. for years. 250,000 children came here. only 700 babies made it out alive. i met two of them

yesterday. they're now in their 80s. they've never forgotten what was done here. uh, if you don't understand why we have to stand against anti-semitism, anti-jewish bigotry and all forms of hate. come here and see what happens when a little bit of hate in the minds of a few bigots gets out of control. this is an. unbelievably life changing experience. every human being needs to come to auschwitz. >> ben, you're saying everyone must go to auschwitz to witness what happened 80 years ago? >> i don't want to witness, as you say, the. >> yes. if you do not open your mouth about how anti-semitism isn't a big deal, the jews are just complaining. you come here, you walk these grounds, you walk into that gas chamber,

you see the fingernail scratches on the side of concrete, of people trying to survive who did not. and then you talk about it until you come here. everybody needs to be quiet and listen to these survivors while they're still with us. this is an extraordinarily life changing experience for all of the black leaders who have come here. >> and this is a day that is not only about celebrating liberation 80 years ago, but, as you said, to witness the machines of mass murder and to realize the dangers that still persist of evil and extremism today in a world where we have nationalist leaders who encourage racism and extremism, and this has become fully mainstream. >> it's mainstream. it's funny. it's cute. you have the richest people in the world playing footsie with nazis. i this is

not acceptable because it was considered funny and cute. then it was considered, oh, this doesn't matter. oh, just give them a little bit of room. they're just blowing off steam. and within a few years, the jewish population who had been completely integrated, completely accepted for hundreds of years, was being put in cattle, cars and mass murder. listen, our people were enslaved over several hundred years. we were also worked to death. but at least there was some kind of financial incentive. they were for cotton. this was literally. and i mean, that's unacceptable and horrible, but i've never seen anything where you just literally built a factory just to murder people, literally just to murder people. there's nothing else happening here but just factories to murder human beings. and until you see it for yourself, i think it's very hard. so now i understand why my jewish friends are so concerned.

it started off with people playing around doing little silly nazi salutes and things. you're seeing some of the richest people in the world doing, and it wound up with death marches and babies being shot in the head, babies being put into ovens, and it's here. and this is not to be fooled with at all. we have to stand against this type of hatred immediately, or it could happen again. it could 100% happen. >> we have to go. we have to learn. we have to hear from the survivors to not be desensitized to threats that are out there. and then this is your first visit to auschwitz. you know, this is a learning experience for you as well. so. so what are the lessons that you're going to take with you? >> listen, i was talking to robert smith last night. i was talking to john hope bryant this morning. victory boyd came here. she sang. we all said the same thing. ideas

matter and words have consequence. yet one bad man with a bad idea, and he put out bad words. and 6 million people were murdered. and the whole world went into a war. ideas have consequences. when you're a leader, what you say matters. uh, people are listening. people are on x as a platform. people are on facebook as a platform. people listen to cnn right now we have responsibilities because once you figure out, oh, i can jump on this one group and pick on this one group and get attention. you don't know where that train leads to. for those people, for humanity, for the movement you're a part of, this is nothing to play with. do not play with this. stop it. cut it out. quit putting these people in european governments. they do not belong in european governments. they do not belong on platforms. they do not belong until they get away from hatred. don't give hatred any safe quarter because it

gets out of hand like a wildfire. we had a wildfire in california, got out of hand in a day. that's what happened here in europe. and when you talk to those people who are 80 years old, 90 years old, they can tell you to the second everything that happened to them. and it is horrifying. and it can never happen again. not to jews, not to anybody. but you have to come to auschwitz. do not tell me anything about hate, about anything, until you come here and walk these grounds. you have to come now. >> what happened over 80 years ago, as you say, could very well happen again. the ghosts of the past still loom large and van jones. thank you for bearing witness. thank you for sharing your thoughts and your insight with us. you're watching cnn newsroom. we'll be right back. keep it here.
