brotherly love, which is, of course lit up in green for our eagles. going back to the super bowl. got to love it. good morning everyone i'm kasie hunt. it's wonderful to have you with us. i guess you probably don't love it if you're from new york or somewhere else. but anyway, let's get to the news. the trump administration's crackdown on undocumented migrants expanding nationwide over the weekend, resulting in hundreds of arrests. borders are tom homan oversaw the immigration and customs enforcement operations as they unfolded in chicago on sunday. he told cnn the arrests included a, quote, all of government approach with agents from the fbi, the u.s. marshals service and drug enforcement agencies supporting ice across the country. trump administration officials say they are targeting public safety threats, but homan tells abc news they are ready to go further. >> if you're in the country illegally, you're on the table because it's not okay to violate laws of this country. you got to remember every time you enter this country

illegally, you violated a crime under title eight, united states code. 1325. it's a crime. so if you're in the country illegally, you got a problem. >> beyond chicago, reports of ice arrests in places like the suburbs of atlanta, where a 53 year old undocumented migrant from honduras was arrested at his home. he lives there with his wife and four children, his family telling cnn that he doesn't have a criminal record apart from a traffic ticket, and that he worked in construction in colorado. dea agents arresting nearly 50 undocumented migrants who say who they say are connected to venezuelan gangs and to drug trafficking in total. immigrations and customs enforcement reporting 956 arrests on sunday alone. illinois governor j.b. pritzker tells cnn he believes the scope of the raids seemed to be going beyond just public safety threats. >> let me start by being clear that when we're talking about violent criminals who have been convicted and who are undocumented, we don't want them in our state. we want them out

of the country. what they're also doing, though, and it's quite disturbing, is they're going after people who are law abiding, who are holding down jobs, who have families here who may have been here for a decade or two decades. and they're often our neighbors and our friends. and why are we going after them? these are not people who are causing problems in our country. and what we need is a path to citizenship for them. >> joining now, joining us now to discuss kevin fry, washington correspondent for spectrum news new york. one kevin good morning. good morning. nice to see you. so this is clearly a situation where the trump administration, president trump, want americans to see what they are doing as they undertake carrying out what was, let's be honest, a campaign promise from donald trump. one of the things we're reporting here at cnn this morning is that many of these officials conducting these raids have been told to basically dress for the cameras, right. so here's the reporting. multiple federal agents assisting u.s.

immigration officials with raids directed by the trump administration have been told to ensure their clothing clearly depicts their respective agency in case they're filmed by members of the media. sources tell cnn while it's common safety practice for agents conducting arrests to wear insignia, clearly identifying themselves as law enforcement, even agents on the perimeter of operations conducted across the nation have been specifically instructed by their leadership to wear raid jackets to generate possible media attention, sources said. so how do you understand how this is different from what had previously been going on under the biden administration? >> right. so, i mean, perhaps the clearest cut case as to or the earliest example of kind of the playing to the camera aspect of all of this was when they utilized those military planes to try to send some of these migrants back to, to south america, rather than just a regular civilian passenger sort of airline that are typically used. and so if anything, it fits into this larger dynamic that that trump is certainly central to, which is straight

out of central casting, looking for members of his cabinet that look good on tv, playing to the camera when it comes to his own experiences in reality television. the man knows how to operate. he knows how to operate within this media ecosystem. playing to the new york post sort of headlines. and this is kind of the latest example of that. >> yeah, let's, let's look talk a little bit more to about one of the things that we learned last week was that they were going to lift the guidance around essentially leaving churches and schools as sanctuary places, places where i.c.e. did not go in and conduct raids. tom homan, the border czar, was asked about doing raids, particularly in schools, over the weekend. let's watch what he said. what criminals. >> are hiding in schools. middle schools. elementary schools? you're going to go into those? >> how many ms 13 members are at the age of 14 to 17? many of them. so look, if it's a national security threat, public safety threat. and what what you need to understand is a case by case name. another agency, another law enforcement agency that has

those type of requirements that they can't walk into a school or, or a doctor's office or a medical campus. no other agencies held to those standards. these are well-trained officers with a lot of discretion. and when it comes to the sense of location, they're still going to be supervised. review. >> and we have reports here, too, at cnn that in one atlanta suburb, there was an undocumented man attending church who actually was pulled out of the church during the service. >> yeah. i mean, this is the one dynamic that the trump administration is now going to have to kind of walk this fine line on because one trump clearly wants to play up for the cameras and be able to show that he's fulfilling this campaign promise. but at some point, it turns to the public could read this as being over the top, insensitive and, quite frankly, terrifying, depending on how some of these scenes extractions, arrests, et cetera. play out. you've seen democrats on the hill, for instance, really hone in on this sensitive locations concern, basically saying and arguing that it it plays on and ultimately at the end of the day, makes really

fear being the dominating issue at play here. not so much enforcement, but making people afraid. >> yeah. well, and i should note, our reporting is not that they went into the church, but rather that they came to it. and he was inside at the service. and he did come out when they went, when they went and asked for him by name. but still it does. it speaks to this, this fear question. the other piece of this, of course, is mangione lindsey graham on the sunday shows over the weekend, senator graham saying, you know what? we can't do everything we've promised we're going to do if we don't fund it. what is the latest on those negotiations in congress? >> it's still very much a we'll see. i mean, look, it's not even clear what exactly approach they have landed on because is it the one big beautiful bill? is it the two bill approach? is it going to be taxes and immigration and everything else all combined? are they going to splinter it off? you talk to either chamber. they have different ideas of all of this. and part of it is because the margins are so incredibly thin on capitol hill that if there is 1 or 2 republicans in the house, for example, they can veto the

whole thing and make the whole thing explode. then you throw in the idea of, do they try to attach fire aid? or, for example, lifting the debt ceiling into this soup of legislative mishegoss? and it's not clear exactly how this is going to land. there's clearly an intention to do something in the next couple of months, because they're going to need finances to back up what they're doing, but it's not clear how they're going to get there. >> i think that might be the first use of the word mishegoss on this show. so congrats to you for that. kevin frey, thank you, i appreciate it. all right. coming up here on cnn this morning, president trump's proposal for the future of gaza, sending palestinians to egypt and jordan. why that idea is getting pushed back. plus, several people injured after a car rams into a crowd in philly as eagles fans were celebrating their team heading to the super bowl. plus, a slew of independent inspectors general terminated. did the president break the law with the late night finding, firing? >> the law. >> says he's. >> supposed to 30. >> days, 30 days notice. he didn't do that. do you think he violated the law?

force one that he asked jordan's king abdullah to take in more palestinians. he wants egypt to do the same. the suggestion was rejected sunday by egypt and by jordan, both countries emphasizing that the only way forward is a palestinian state. meanwhile, tens of thousands of displaced gaza residents began returning to their homes overnight following a 48 hour delay that was caused by a hostage release dispute between israel and hamas. max foster joins us live now from london, with more. max, good morning to you. there's a reason this hasn't been done already. this is an incredibly politically difficult thing for these middle east, for egypt, for jordan. jordan already has a significant palestinian population, and it's a small country. more could potentially be destabilizing. what is your view of what president trump said here? because it is clear already in the week here that he is willing to threaten quite a bit. and those threats seem to move the needle in certain cases.

will it move the needle in this case? >> well, he's not wrong about it being a demolition site. northern gaza is is complete mess. but if we show you these live images, these are coming in from gaza. people returning from being displaced from northern gaza, heading back to northern gaza to as donald trump describes, a demolition site. but it also speaks to the fact that this is their homeland and that's how much they want to go home. and what donald trump is talking about is, uh, you know, taking them out of their homeland into other countries, which is not something they want, as is demonstrated here. so the first challenge is convincing them to move, or we're talking about forcible movement, which is something that's going to be deeply unpopular across the entire arab world, because they identify with this land. whatever the bigger arguments are here. um, and of course, you've pointed out the key problem here that even if he,

you know, even if he did convince them to leave, where are they going to go? donald trump's talking about egypt and jordan, and they've both flatly said no. so this is not a goer at the moment. but as you've described, you know, he's done what he's done with colombia recently and he's got what he wanted. you know, he's got a negotiating position, of course, with egypt and jordan as well, both key allies of america. does he decide to use that to force these people to go and live there? the cost will be immense. and you know, the bigger question, will they be allowed back in? because when donald trump was asked about this, he was asked, is it temporary or permanent? he said it could be either. >> well, and max, we also know that trump has talked about, i mean, that that live shot, you can see it is a beautiful part of the world. you can understand why people in gaza are so i mean, why anyone would be attached to their homeland, of course. but donald trump has talked about this in much more. i mean, he's looked at this and talked about it in financial

terms. let's remember what he said. this was actually on october 7th, 2024. watch. >> it could be better than monica. it has the best location in the middle east, the best water, the best everything it's got. it is the best. i've said it for years. you know, when i've been there and it's rough. it's a rough place before the, you know, before all of the attacks and before back and forth. what's happened over the last couple of years. and i said, wow, look at this. they never took advantage of it. you know, as a developer, it could be the most beautiful place. the weather, the water, the whole thing, the climate. it could be so beautiful. it could be the best thing in the middle east. >> so i think we should be clear, max, as well. they had to clean up. he is not. donald trump has not been to gaza. he has been to israel. but the terms in which he speaks of it are financial.

>> yeah, he sees it as a development opportunity. if you take exactly what he's got there. and it's true, they've got the coast and a lot of people won't realize there were wealthy areas of gaza, as there were in other parts of the middle east before this war. and yeah, you can totally see that this development opportunity. but when you're currently suffering from a famine, it's not really top of your list. >> it's just right. human beings that we're seeing here remarkable to to get to see them return to their homes here after after so much time and so much destruction. max foster, thanks very much, i appreciate it. and still ahead here on cnn this morning, after devastating wildfires in southern california, a new threat is building as rain storms move in. plus, a late night firing spree. president trump removing federal watchdogs across the government kobe didn't want to be one of the. >> all time greats. >> he wanted to be the best. >> he may.

enjoying this in my household this morning. good morning everyone. i'm kasie hunt. it's wonderful to have you with us. breaking overnight columbia agreeing to accept repatriated migrants after a brief faceoff with the trump administration early yesterday. two u.s. military planes carrying deported migrants were blocked by the south american country. in response, president donald trump announced this, quote, an emergency 25% tariff. excuse me on imports. a travel ban for colombian citizens and a revocation of visas for colombian officials in the u.s., among other things, the order prompting retaliatory tariffs from colombia's president. but late last night, the white house announcing the two governments had come to an agreement. colombia's foreign minister confirming shortly thereafter that u.s. deportation flights will resume. >> el gobierno. >> de colombia. >> the colombian government reports that we have overcome the impasse with the government of the united states. the government of colombia, under the direction of president gustavo petro, has the presidential plane ready to facilitate the return of the

compatriots who were to arrive in the country today, in the morning, on deportation flights. >> joining us now, axios senior contributor margaret talev. margaret, good morning. good morning. nice to see you. thank you. so what do you see this as? is it donald trump's tariff using tariffs as threats actually working. >> i mean, the new trump administration is certainly treating this as a victory. and it appears to be on the surface. you know, it certainly looks like colombia blinked and sort of said, okay, we don't want all the pain that those tariffs would bring. a couple of questions, though, is why and how is this actually going to play out with other countries if if this shows that the trump administration can sort of use fear of economic pain to enforce its will with countries in the hemisphere and perhaps countries in other continents, then that gives it some momentum right out of the gate to use tariffs as a tool. but the question is how if

they don't get every country to blink? at what point will pain come to american consumers? had the situation with colombia played out, coffee would get more expensive, flowers would get more expensive. it would cause real economic pain in colombia. and then i think another question is how is china going to react to all of this? so it certainly looks like in the case of colombia, there were some optical considerations to that. the president just did not want to see colombians shackled like criminals or coming off of military planes, didn't want to be used as a photo op in u.s. foreign policy. but the reality is this impasse didn't take long to break. and the reason why is because the colombians feared real economic pain. >> so you mentioned the potential costs to americans of tariffs like this going into effect. coffee, flowers, things that we get from that area. i mean, one of the things we've seen, obviously, the trump administration on this blitz, right on so many of the

particularly cultural promises, promises the president made dei initiatives in the federal government. of course, immigration was a central campaign promise as well. we're seeing that, but we are seeing less on the biggest. the thing that americans told us in our cnn polling, anyway, was their most important issue, and that was the economy and inflation. lindsey graham was asked about this on cnn over the weekend, because the price of eggs is currently astronomical. let's watch what he said. >> people are. >> now paying. >> $7 for a dozen eggs. it's a record level, 37% higher than a year ago. >> are his. >> priorities in. >> the right place? >> i was pretty involved in the last campaign. every time he talked about eggs, he talked about illegal immigration a thousand times. i think he's trying to fulfill his promise to regain control of an out-of-control illegal immigration system. >> margaret, how do you think president trump is balancing these two imperatives? there does not seem to be as much

focus on the economy and inflation. and what impact does that have on his popularity? >> he's clearly prioritizing immigration and border related actions and visuals. in his first week as president. it's only been a week. it feels like six months. i just ballparking it, but it's been a week. but the the political difference is that border controls and immigration were a core issue for the republican base. and a big issue for some people in the middle and on the left. the economy. and by the economy, i mean inflation, the price of goods, the price of rent, interest rates, those things were the top issue across party lines, not just for the republican base, for all republicans, for the political center, for independents and for democrats. but one of the challenges is actually really hard to reduce prices or to tell grocery stores how much to charge for stuff. there are many americans that if you pull them and focus, group them. and we've seen this in our axios focus

groups, in my focus groups with syracuse university, there are actually a lot of americans that think a president can just, like, tell stores how much to charge for stuff. and there are many other americans who say, we don't actually think the president can do that. the second group is correct. so i think it is easier to show pictures of people being deported. by the way, there were 124 deportation flights repatriations back to colombia last year in president biden's final year. so it's not like they just invented deporting people to colombia. but they weren't done this this way. but it was the same effect. so we'll see how much the deportation numbers change. but i think with the price of goods is harder to do it. it's harder to sustain it. and it is ultimately what more americans really want for relief in their lives. >> yeah. all right. margaret talev, thanks very much for being with us this morning. i appreciate it. all right. let's turn now to this vice president, jd vance, standing by president

trump's decision to pardon january 6th convicts who assaulted police officers. >> the pardon. >> power is not. >> just for. >> people who. >> are angels or people who. >> are perfect. >> and of course. >> we love. >> our. >> law enforcement and. >> want people to. be peaceful. >> with everybody. >> but especially with our. >> good cops. >> that's a. >> separate issue from what merrick garland's department of justice did. we rectified. >> a wrong. >> and i stand by it that is a big shift in jd vance's stance. >> just two weeks ago, he said this. >> if you. >> committed violence on that day, obviously you shouldn't be pardoned. and there's a little bit of a gray area there, but we're very much committed to seeing the equal administration of law. >> the vice president was also asked whether he counseled the president on his decision to issue the blanket pardons. he dodged that question. cnn legal analyst joey jackson joins us live now. joey, good morning. what do you make of jd vance's defense there?

>> casey. >> good morning. >> to you. >> the answer is not much. >> he also. >> that is, the vice president followed that up by. indicating that the january 6th rioters were denied due process. i'm not sure exactly what he's talking about. obviously, there's a political imperative, right? he was inconsistent. that is the vice president was his boss. and so now he has to backpedal and somehow justify intellectually the messaging that it was okay. right. just to pardon everyone, he talked about the denial of due process. what are you talking about? due process is notice and an opportunity to be heard in any prosecution. the prosecutor indicates what the charges are to those being charged, and then you have the right to defend yourself. in this case, that is exactly what occurred. no one was denied due process. everyone was given an opportunity to have a lawyer. either that you choose yourself or that's appointed to you. and at the end of the day, a number that is a thousand plus pled guilty, no denial of due

process. there. you indicate right to the judge. yes, i understand what i'm pleading to. yes i'm guilty. yes, i take accountability. where's the denial? and then with respect to a trial, there's a trial. you have an attorney, the prosecute, a prosecutor, a jury makes a decision. and so i think if we're going to speak about this, we can't reinvent history. we have to embrace and acknowledge exactly what happened and just say it was a political decision and this is what you opted to do. but stop trying to justify it on bogus grounds. >> joey, i want to ask you also about another story we've been following, because of course, this is again the beginning of week two of the trump administration, but it is head spinning to try to keep up with it all. president trump fired a number of inspectors general across the u.s. government. was that legal, in your view? >> no, it was not. i mean, well, let's take it this way. right. number one, obviously, the president is the commander in chief, and it's your prerogative to have employed with the

federal government or, you know, any entity thereof, who you want. however, there are specific notice provisions that congress set when you have watchdog groups and agencies, entities or people overseeing things. and that notice provision provides for you to a give 30 days notice to congress, and b give a justification as to why it is that you felt appropriate to do so. that wasn't done. and so if you're going to do things again, do them. you're the commander in chief. just do them in accordance with law, in accordance with specific guidelines and in accordance with the rules and regulations. don't do things just because you feel like doing them. that's unlawful. >> all right. joey jackson for us this morning, sir. always grateful to have you. thank you for being here. >> thanks, casey. >> all right. straight ahead here on cnn this morning, president trump moving aggressively on immigration. why our next guest says inheriting a relatively calm border was politically inconvenient. plus, super bowl 59 is set and it's a rematch of super bowl 57. that's next in

reports, causing panic within the tribal communities in both states and the ramped up detentions already drawing criticism from democrats. >> we're seeing a kind of. chaos in which, in contradiction of the president's commitment that he was going to start focused on violent criminals, they're just. >> detaining anyone. >> they're going into workplaces and anyone who looks like they should be detained is getting. detained without, it seems, rhyme or reason. that doesn't make sense. i think. it's inhumane. >> my next guest argues that president trump benefits from chaos. she writes this, quote, trump's political interest lies in exploiting the border, not effectively managing it. she uses the trump administration's move to end the cbp one app as an example. that app allowed migrants who were seeking asylum to make appointments at legal points of entry. juliette kayyem writes this quote, ending. cbp, cbp one conveniently helps lay the groundwork for more aggressive policies. the voters

who sent trump back to the white house may have been appalled by past chaos for trump's anti-immigration offensive. order is a bigger problem. joining us now, juliette kayyem, who is also a cnn national security analyst. juliette, good morning. so obviously we have two questions here, right? we have the border itself, people trying to come into the country who aren't already here. then we have people who live here already have crossed the border. i actually want to start there before we circle back to your piece, and particularly what we're learning from navajo nation officials, because while we know that the trump team wants this to be actively seen by the media to the point that we're reporting here, that there is guidance to these law enforcement officials to wear camera ready uniforms so that they can generate more media attention. um, they also are clearly doing things like, in the case of this, navajo nation. i mean, talk about people who are american citizens, right? getting swept up in this.

>> yes. this is called the interior enforcement. part of trump's agenda. the mass deportations, interior enforcement, uh, is is has to be regulated by by law and by practice by i.c.e. what seems to have happened now is it's just sort of go out and get people. so what does that mean? it means people who don't look like essentially white americans. and so what you're seeing is these broad sweeps. people then say, no, no, no, i'm an american. in one case, we have a reporting that someone said, i'm a puerto rican, and the ice agent didn't know that that person that puerto ricans are, in fact, americans. and lots of mistakes are being made. these are overbroad, and they're sweeping in people who are, you know, brown, black, native american until they can prove otherwise. this is an this is unregulated immigration enforcement. this is the free for all that donald trump complained about during his campaign. there

will be lots of lawsuits. there'll be lots of actions against ice agents. but right now, what trump wants is essentially what what one might call reality tv immigration enforcement. we know, for example, in chicago, doctor phil, the reality tv star, the the talk show host was present and taking pictures during them. this is this is the performative aspect of immigration enforcement. and the impact is, of course, on americans that don't look like the trump family. essentially. >> juliet, in the piece you talk about not interior enforcement, but rather the border itself, how that is, is managed. we do know that donald trump has surged troops to the border, or at least ordered them. there. explain a little bit about what you're arguing in this new atlantic piece. >> so so donald trump inherited, despite all the politics. i just look at the numbers, right. donald trump inherited what we

would call a relatively peaceful border. i'm not pretending like there were zero border crossings, but but there were about 46,000 illegal crossings in in october before he won. at least the presidency. he, donald trump had more immigration crossings than than president obama. and president biden was doing better than president trump in his last months of office. as president, biden began to hunker down a little bit more seriously about asylum relief. cbp one was a way to do that. it was a more regulated process. people had to sign up before they came to the united states. they had to present themselves to a formal point of entry. they just couldn't show up anywhere at the border, which had been the the previous rule, and it regulated the number of people that could get through. it was working. it actually was started by the trump administration, but because it was working, donald trump and uh, stopped it. i mean, essentially now we have no

formalized asylum process. and so people will just present themselves anywhere. and then you begin the legal process. it's a huge burden on our courts, a huge burden on our immigration officials. but but it is it is the kind of chaos, the kind of lack of regulation that benefits donald trump's performative aspects of immigration enforcement, which i think we i think we just have to pearce the numbers and see that a lot of this is performative. his numbers are no better or worse this first week than than they were for president biden. >> all right. juliette kayyem for us this morning. juliette, always grateful to have you. thanks very much for being on the show. >> thank you. >> all right. time now for sports. super bowl 59 is set. the chiefs trying for a three peat. they take on my high flying eagles. coy wire has this morning's cnn sports update. they flew high indeed. >> is it just the. >> monitor or. >> are you wearing eagles. >> green this morning. >> i you know. i yeah you. >> know what. let's call. >> it that. >> do your thing girl.

>> congrats. we'll get to your eagles in a second. first, the afc championship marked the latest. >> chapter in the rivalry between the chiefs and the bills. patrick mahomes and josh allen that are. >> becoming like peyton manning and tom. >> brady. the fourth. >> time they've met in the last five playoffs. and once again, it was a heavyweight fight. mahomes, allen going toe to toe again. but some key plays in the fourth made all the difference. fourth down bills up one. and josh allen is going to do the quarterback sneak. but does he make it. that line is where he needed to get to. officials said he didn't. replays didn't provide a definitive view. so the ruling stands five plays later. patrick mahomes scrambles cashes in on one of his two rushing touchdowns after the turnover on downs, the chiefs are up. bills respond, though, marching 70 yards, allen hitting curtis samuel for the touchdown, tying it at 29. bills fans are feeling it. chiefs will kick a field goal to take the lead, but josh allen has plenty of time to work. two time-outs. two minutes to go. three time-outs left. but right there that dalton kincaid pass. he just couldn't bring it

in. and the chiefs hang on their quest for an unprecedented three peat continues a 32 to 29 win. it's their fifth super bowl appearance in the last six seasons. >> i'm just so proud of my teammates, man, how they responded. that was a great. >> football team. >> and i'm just i'm just. >> lost for words. i'm excited for new orleans. >> never satisfied baby. when you play in front. >> of arrowhead. >> stadium like this, every single afc championship. you kidding me? kansas city? >> oh, taylor swift's going back to the super bowl. the eagles are headed back to the super bowl for a rematch with those chiefs from two seasons ago. and kasie hunt. philly has the best offensive line, the best running back in the league, and it showed. saquon barkley 60 yards to the house on the eagles first drive of the game, one of his three rushing touchdowns. quarterback jalen hurts three rushing touchdowns as well. tush, push hurts and barkley are the first duo in playoff history to each have three rushing touchdowns in a game. philly

wins decisively. kasie hunt goes wild after a 5523 win. >> it's amazing man. it's amazing. we're here. super bowl. but the goal wasn't just getting there. the goal is to win and we're going to celebrate and enjoy this and get right back to work. >> well saquon you are absolutely right about the celebration. party time. check out the scene in the locker room just after the game. now it's time to get down to business. but was this super bowl rematch predetermined? casey. the super bowl logo conspiracy has reared its ugly head again. the colors of the logo red and green. that makes three of the last four super bowl logos matching the teams playing in it, including the one for these teams two seasons ago. some say seasons are scripted, predetermined outcomes. the league says, hey, these logos are created like two years in advance. >> so. >> i learn something new every day. i had no idea there was a super bowl logo conspiracy, but i'll take it. how about saquon barkley? i could watch those highlights over and over again

all morning. >> coy my gosh, he's just like a 230 pound bowling ball covered in baby oil. you cannot stop it. >> you really can't. >> and hey man i'm sorry about your bills. they've had such a great series of seasons. you know it's really almost their time. and i mean the qb matchup in that first game was was incredible. >> incredible. >> i'm dreading going home today because my six year old ren was cheering for taylor swift's boyfriend's team to beat daddy's team. so yeah, it's going to be a. >> long day. >> you know, you and the rest of america i think are in that are in that. >> boat. >> lots of little, lots of little girls, kids watching football. anyway, i'll be excited to see her go back, but sadly i will not be rooting for her. chiefs coach. thank you. >> you got. >> it i. appreciate it. all right. in our next hour here on cnn this morning, over a dozen federal watchdogs fired president trump, defying the law to do so. i'll be joined live by one of those inspectors general to discuss. plus, confirming the cabinet this week, some of president trump's most controversial picks facing senate grilling.
