fox news alert. president trump moments ago wrapping up remarks at a boeing plant in south carolina trying to refocus attention on jobs and the economy, and our workers. hello everyone. i'm sandra smith. well, the president suggesting while standing in front of the latest boeing dream liner that he's getting closer to a deal on the new air force one. >> and i'm being very, very serious. the new air force one, that plane, as beautiful as it looks, is 30 years old. can you believe it? what can look so beautiful at 30? an airplane. i don't know. which one do we like better, folks? tell me. >> sandra: all right. chief white house correspondent john roberts traveling with the president, is in north charleston. as we understand it, he's still behind you, john. there he is. live pictures of the president, getting a tour of that dream liner. and in the cockpit right now.

john? >> reporter: yeah. they took a tour of the boeing plant before the president spoke. then he spoke for about 15, 20 minutes. now he's up there touring this new aircraft for folks who are wondering about the aircraft, it is called the dash 10 version of it. it's 18 feet longer than the dash 9 version. they haven't flown this one yet. lot of people with their fingers crossed that it will go down the runway and actually get up in the air. boeing has proven itself. they have a great track record of trying to get aircraft up in the air. you heard the president joking about air force one. he has cut a deal with the ceo and chairman of boeing for the new air force one replacement fleet. really only two aircraft. did not exceed $4 billion. president got a guarantee that he will save the american taxpayers some money. today was like a campaign event. there were marching bands. 5,000 people here as the president came down and talked about jobs. listen to what he said.

>> as your president, i'm going to do everything i can to unleash the power of the american spirit and to put our great people back to work. this is our mantra. buy american and hire american. >> reporter: many of the themes he hit during the campaign, american first, hire american, buy american. tweaking lockheed a little bit today. lockheed has the contract for the new strike fighter. president saying, hey, is there anything better than an f-18 superhornet built by boeing, suggesting, these were his words, we may put in a big order for f-18's. so that might shake things up a little bit in the defense industry. but the president returning back to the campaign here. probably haven't been the most

enjoyable for him. he's lost it. his labor secretary. had to fire his national security adviser. first big order on immigration getting mired up and defeated in the courts. bigger constitutional question to that. wanted to get out here among a friendly crowd and return to this campaign theme. remember winning, sandra. listen to what the president said. >> america is going to start winning again, winning like never, ever before. we're not gonna let our country be taken advantage of any more in any way, shape or form. we love america. we are going to protect america. whroefrb our workers, and we are going to protect our workers. >> reporter: after he finishes the tour of the 787-10 dream liner the president will get back into another boeing aircraft, head down to marlago

florida. he has a meeting to get back out there, feel the vibe from people cheering him on as opposed to the ones who have him under siege in washington. he's also got some work to do in that he needs to pick a new national security adviser candidate. steven hadley national security adviser under president obama. then couple other candidates that he may be meeting with as well. loft work for the president. sandra? >> sandra: he's still on the tkpwroupb there. john robert, thank you. you are looking at the president live in north charleston, south carolina. still getting a tour of the plan there. as john roberts was delivering his report the president's daughter, ivanka trump and her husband came down the stairs. they, too, were getting a tour of the new airplane. he was also standing, the president, was standing with the ceo of boeing. so the president still making his way around the facility.

with more on this let's bring in a columnist with the national review. and a former consult to obama's campaign. i'll start with you first. as we're looking at these live images of the president doing what arguably he does best. he he is talking business. he is touting that he is going to put america and its workers first. cat? >> absolutely. he does that. he does rallies very well, too. tomorrow very good move. this was a very good move. kind of distract from the tough week he's been having with flynn, with puzder, with russia. if you do things like this, it can be a distraction. doesn't make the problems go away. kind of like if you have problems in your marriage. couples go to florida. the sunshine can be distracting. are >> sandra: he did point out that the business climate in the u.s., under this administration, has changed. he is using the opportunity to

already tout a lot of the accomplishments that the trump administration has seen since january 20th. they have been lifting them. the stock market boom that we have witnessed, companies continuing new investments in america. they are quick to point out that things are happening, regardless of whether you are seeing and reading in the news. marjorie? >> he is a brilliant sales man. and that we know. this kind of endorsement that boeing is getting and other brands that have been fearful of his criticism as well as hoping for his endorsement, because it does amazing things to have the president standing up for your brand. i think the real question is the implications of greater policy issues. while the average american doesn't want to hear about this, we just want to hear everything is going to be great, you are going to be fine. you have to look at the recent appointment of the labor secretary who is planning on cutting medicade and social security. those hit your workers and the people that he's talking about the most.

removal of dodd frank and is there going to be a replacement that prevent another subprime mortgage crisis or other things that greatly impacted those worker opportunities. it sounds great. believe me, everybody wants everything to be great. but i think the greater concerns we have around russia -- >> sandra: certainly this is a positive voice coming from the president himself today as you just see those live images of him boarding air force one in north carolina -- south carolina. north charleston, i'm sorry. and he does have that rally tomorrow. i want to run this by you. the washington post put out a piece, the simple reason that trump is holding a rally in florida this weekend. he says to demonstrate that he's winning. and you could argue, i'll show you on fox and friends this morning saying there's no better person to speak for the president than the president himself. listen to this. >> there's no person better to speak for president trump than president trump. and he's extraordinarily

talented. and he's a great salesman. he knows how to communicate. it was an effective way to sum up what his message was yesterday. and he did a fantastic job. >> sandra: he arguably just did that again. cat? >> yeah, absolutely. he knows how to control the news cycle. he will go there and say some memorable thing. people will be talking about that on twitter. he's going to be talking about the crowds. they will be fired up. the people who love trump, they love trump a lot. they're going to be out in full force. it's going to be good for him. it will be something on tv that's positive instead of negative. >> sandra: he did tout that he is going to have a massive crowd. >> as all. one of the challenges is and concerns is his sensitive ego. he has the lowest approval rating of any president in history. while he has some very excited supporters, there are not a lot of people in his administration lining up to support him.

so, you know, is this a mental hel exercise? i need this so i can still be great? the fact that he still needs to mention his numbers in the election. he already won. why that continually comes up when he's asked a difficult question, i think those are the things that concern people. >> sandra: thanks to both of you for joining us following the president's comments. he's boarding air force one, on his way. well, the senate just moments ago voting to confirm scott pruitt as head of epa. lawmakers considering several other picks for the president's cabinet before leaving town for the holiday weekend. mike emanuel is live on capitol hill for us. what's the latest on the cabinet confirmations at this point? >> great question. one cabinet level confirmation is done. another appears to be on the way. in the past hour the senate confirmed scott pruitt to be the next administrator of the environmental protection agency. two democrats joined with republicans. the vote was 52-46 with two absences. wilbur ross nomination to be

commerce secretary just passed a procedural hurdle 66-31. that is just the first step. top republicans are blasting democrats for a lack of cooperation. >> cabinet nominees were named. what we saw were a list of eight nominees come out that senator schumer had as his hit list of nominees that he was going to oppose, slow down, obstruct, boycott. democrats delay. they delayed again. they delayed again. that's what we saw in one after another after another. >> with lawmakers in town for the president's day holiday, it appears other nominees will wait at least ten more days for some sort of action. sandra? >> sandra: what have democrats been saying after their all nighter on the senate floor? >> well, they tried to hold up the scott pruitt nomination by arguing that he's done nothing to help the environment. he's only attacked the epa as attorney general of the state of

oklahoma. >> to approve this nominee, who is hostile, who has sued the agency, who's never done a thing in his life to protect the environment, is just outrageous. it's a dereliction of our responsibility and we are gonna look back on this moment and say, what were we thinking? >> two democrats joined with republicans to confirm scott pruitt's nomination. he will soon be the top person at the epa. but these are still very tense times here on capitol hill. sandra? >> sandra: all right, mike emanuel, thank you. new signs of aggression from russia, as one of its spy ships makes its way up and down our east coast. hanging out near u.s. naval bases. an update on where it is now. and president trump vowing to track down leakers that got former national security adviser michael flynn fired. why it might not be that easy. >> i have actually called the justice department to look into the leak.

those are criminal leaks. they are put out by people either in agencies -- i think you'll see it stopping because now we have our people in. remember when you said men are superior drivers? yeah... yeah, then how'd i get this... ...allstate safe driving bonus check? ...only allstate sends you a bonus check for every six months you're accident free. silence. it's good to be in, good hands. come close, come close. i like that.

>> sandra: fox news alert. moments ago you saw ivanka trump and her husband leaving the boeing dream liner. they were getting a tour. they were in the cockpit. the president as well. trump leaving the boeing facility in south carolina heading to florida where he will be holding a rally tomorrow in melbourne at 5 p.m. there you have it. you can see the plane air force one taxiing. welsh president trump has made finding whomever is leaking information a top priority. after intercepts of phone calls between his former national security adviser and russian officials were released to the media. the administration raising

concerns about the intelligence community itself and whether there is a shadow network trying to under mind the president. >> there may be some bad actors within the intelligence community or some holdovers. nobody knows. but i will tell you this. i have talked to top level of the intelligence communities. >> sandra: bradley moss is a national security attorney. bradley, where are we with all of this? your thoughts? >> $64,000 question in many of these issues is, can you find the person? 4 million different people hold security clearances and have access to the type of information that would have been leaked. trying to find a needle in stack of needles. if the president wanted to he could try to start some widespread investigation. but you to know what to find. you don't know what you don't know. until they have some idea of which particular leaks they're gonna look at and which offices or departments would have had

access to information they have nowhere to start. >> sandra: as we have heard from the president in recent day, he found very confident that he is going to fine and hold accountable those responsible. is it possible he knows something about finding those individuals that he is not releasing to the public? >> that's always a possibility that there's already been an internal inquiry of sorts and they already have an idea of a group of people who could have leaked it. look, we've had several presidents now all try to wage some type of war on leakers. president obama prosecuted more leakers than anybody else had ever done. there's all an attempt to clamp down on it. this town leaks. it always leaks. it will always leak. in the post snowden era, too many people are using end to end encryption to find these communications. everybody knows how to drop off documents with journalists through secure mean. if the president knows something, i'd look forward to hearing about it. at the moment i don't think he knows anything more than you or

me. >> sandra: we're left wondering what consequences they will face. i'm looking at the disclosure of classified information. who ever knowingly, willfully communicates or otherwise makes person. it goes into full detail, there it is, shall with fined or imprisoned not more than ten years or both. is that what we're looking at as far as the person or persons held accountable? >> absolutely. if these people are caught and if the government can connect the dots from that individual having access and leaking it to a reporter or reporters, absolutely. between that provision and several provisions in the espionage act. that's the ball game. they would be prosecuted. they'd go to jail. extent of which would be decided at a sentencing stage where they could argue public interest, if that's what they wanted to. from a pure culpability stage, they are prosecuted. >> sandra: is there concern about the deep state or shadow

network? are those concerns warranted? >> i think it is over blown hyper pwolic rhetoric from a white house that's still trying to understand the difference between running a private corporation an running a government. look, millions of people work for the federal government. lot of ones who are still here are civil servants. they serve administration to administration. they don't have any particular loyalties. if they are the ones leaking it, it sounds more of an issue that they are annoyed that the experts have been cut out of the loop on thing. knowing the meeting between the president and prime minister of israel had no one from the state department prepping it or present. there are some holdovers from the obama administration? maybe. but i think this is mostly to do with civil servants. we get it, you're new. you have to bring us in on this. you have to use us in governing. you can do it yourself. >> sandra: what did you think

about the saying that there could be some bad actors within the intel commune. we heard from august back to last year him raising questions about the intelligence community. >> yeah. again, it's a lot of hot air. in terms of who you're interacting with. they have no prior understanding of how these different agencies coordinate that you can just march -- send off a new executive order and expect everyone to fall in line. you have to core nate. that's hopefully what they will be doing going forward. >> sandra: we heard it from the president multiple times that those leakers will be caught and held accountable. thanks for joining us, bradley. >> thank you. >> sandra: president taking his economic message to airplane giant boeing. how his jobs plan is playing out on wall street today. plus a popular grocery store chain threatened with a boycott for refusing to remove a trump labeled product from their shelves. what that store is saying to all

the whiners out there. and new jersey governor chris christie meeting the president for lunch at the white house. what mr. trump made him order for lunch. and more recipes. is depression more than sadness?

>> sandra: president trump stopping in south carolina for the first time since entering the white house. president visiting a boeing plant to talk about jobs and the economy, as the company debuts its latest and greatest biggest model of the 787 dream liner. lately the markets have been on a tear. the dow up more than 2,000 points since election day. right now taking a breather on this friday afternoon after another record breaking week. lori rothman is live on the floor of the new york stock

exchange. lori, it's been another unbelievable week. wow, up over how many points since election day? >> it's staggering sandra. this week alone the dow is down 60 points. it's the worst level at the session. looking at gains of 1% across the board. we saw that when president trump visited the boeing plant in south carolina today. his themes were simple. basically, rely less on import, more on made in the usa. he said that companies that do move outside the u.s. will face heavy penalty. no surprise that boeing shares the best performer on the dow average. that's the bench mark for some 30 stocks across the broad range of industries that give us a good flavor of the broader market. also hitting lifetime highs today, boeing. as you said, boeing's debuting that brand new dream liner.

third member of the family flying in a couple weeks. billions in orders for it already. this is very good. >> sandra: the dream liner since its original debut years ago. it's been a game changer for the industry. really a game changer as far as exports from the united states. one of the president trump themes today was to buy american and hire american. that's what one grocery store chain is trying to do in virginia, despite calls for a boycott by anti-trump activists. is that what we're hearing? >> this is wegeman's grocery store. a group called stop trump wine based in charlottesville virginia. they are demanding all grocers as well as retailers and restaurants boycott trump product. wegeman said we're not bowing to this political pressure. here's the statement. how a product performs is our single measure for what stays on our shelves and what goes. wegeman's says they have been

carrying trump man since 2008. it was sold then to trump wine, the president's company. they're not changing it. it does great in sales. there you have it. this is a stark difference in the way nordstrom responded, right, with the ivanka trump brand. that was catching all kinds of backlash. back to you. >> sandra: very good to see you. >> you, too. >> sandra: thank you. should president trump dial back on social media? what senate majority leader mitch mcconnell is saying about it. plus a russian spy ship lurking off the east coast near the largest naval base in the world. what is it doing there? and now lawmakers are sounding the alarms. >> anyone who would loiter off the coast of connecticut is not doing it because of the great climate and weather. it's freezing weather out there. they are doing it, obviously, with aggressive intent, to say the least. where's frank?

will affect sales for the rest of the year. all right. the u.s. military keeping a watchful eye on that russian spy ship that's been prowling off the east coast traveling as far north as connecticut and at times coming extremely close to entering u.s. territorial waters. lucas tomlinson joins us live with an update on the vessel's movement. as i understand it, it's a 12 mile -- there's 12 miles of room there before international waters start off the coast. of course, they have been abiding by that, right? >> that's correct, sandra. that russian spy ship is currently loitering just 17nautical miles off the coast of virginia, home to the world's largest naval base. u.s. territorial waters extend only 12nautical miles away. early this week it traveled up the east coast as far as

connecticut. president trump acknowledged it has gotten under some people's skin. >> the greatest thing i could do is shoot that ship that's 30 miles off shore right out of the water. everyone in the country will say, oh, it's so great. it's not great. >> a short time ago a spokesman was candid about the russian spy ship saying, quote, it's lawful and similar to operations we do around the world. last week russian jets buzzed a ship in the see where nato is conducting an exercise. this week 500 u.s. army soldiers and some tanks arrived in romania from a port in the black sea. today in munich jim madis eluded to russia but did not name it by name. >> we can no longer deny reality. as guard i can't understand for

our nations and sentinals, we see our -- as the arc of instability builds on nato's preufry an beyond. >> jennifer griffin is travelling with the defense secretary. watch her tonight on special force for more, sandra. >> sandra: thank you very much for that report. all right. joining me now, congress woman marcia blackburn. thank you for being here. what do you make of what you just heard, as we con to watch this russian spy ship make its way along our eastern coast line? >> well, i think we all know that putin is a thug and he has a military that is trying to flex its muscle and send a message. and we probably should not be surprised by such activity. >> sandra: the president was pressed in his most recent news conference as to whether or not he believed that russia is testing him. he didn't say that he believed that to be the case.

how do you see it? >> i think russia is trying to fleck their muscle to everybody. they're trying to make some movement. putin has been very aggressive. we have watched his aggressiveness grow over the past several years. i think many of us were disappointed when we heard then president obama say please tell vladamir i'll have more flexibility after the election. that was not helpful. and they have felt emboldened. what we need is to show we're not going to put up with this. >> sandra: certainly we continue to see the president trying to get his message out. in that news con tprepb yesterday and then of course we just saw him speaking in north charleston at that boeing plant. congress woman, senate majority leader mitch mcconnell had some choice words about his use of twitter, but at the same time, he liked what he's doing. listen to how he worded it. >> i have been pretty candid with him and all of you that i'm not a great fan of daily tweets.

what i am fan of is what he's been actually doing. >> sandra: he certainly is putting himself back out there, the president. we know he's got a rally in florida tomorrow. but he does still you twitter quite often. there you heard from mitch mcconnell himself. not a fan of his use of twitter, but i like what this president is doing. >> and the president is being very effective. when you look at the congressional review pieces of legislation that we have passed in the house to roll things back, the senate is taking them up as we finish them, the president signs them into law. yesterday he did one on coal. and some of the effect, negative effects, that have happened to the coal industry, he's restoring jobs. he's keeping his promises. keeping those promises that he made. sandra, i tell you, when it comes to the twitter, i think it would be helpful to focus that twitter where it backs up these positive actions that are being

taken. >> sandra: do you think think he will do it? >> pardon me. i appreciate it when he focuses the twitter and cputs the emphasis on talking about the good things that he is doing, the good things that we are doing, and maybe taking the personalities out of it. we are in a time where we need to be picking up steam and moving forward. we have obama care to repeal. we have taxes to lower and tax reforms to execute and regulations to get off the book. >> sandra: there is so much coming out oven this white house. russia continues to dominate the news cycle. there are still many questions there. speaking of the twitter, this was one of the president's most recent tweets on russia. he said the democrats had to come up with a story as to why they lost the election and so badly, so they made up a story. russia. fake news. your response to that, congress woman? >> i think many house members

are like me. we know that there was an issue with general flynn not telling the truth to the vice president. i think he told the truth, but not the whole truth and nothing but the truth. we have all seen reports that there are some of these accusations that are out there. nothing has been proven. we have not seen anything classified. we have not had a classified briefing. we have not seen a classified transcript. so there is a lot just a tremendous amount of ambiguity about this. a good bit of uncertainty. and the president, they have not found anyone from the president's campaign, from what i understand from "the new york times" story. they've not been able to kwan tpaoeu or to provide with certainty anyone that did have those communications. you've got a lot of he said/she said around this. i think most of us would rather wait until there is something

with certainty and until we are presented information and evidence in a classified setting. >> sandra: congress woman, you were in that room the other day with some of his earliest supporters. >> i was. >> sandra: was there anything you picked up being in the room with the president that we're not seeing come across in twitter or on tv or at these rallies or speeches? what did you pick up from his tone there? >> he is energized. he is hard at work on getting the rules and regulations off the books. he is ready for us to move forward with the repeal of obama care. he was -- we had a great visit focusing on some of these things. focusing on filling out the cabinet, which we all would like to senate to do. >> sandra: congress woman thank you for your time. >> good to be with you. thank you. >> sandra: james comey visiting capitol hill, to talk about ex-national security adviser

michael flynn, russia and other topics. we'll keep an eye on that for you and have more details when we get them. all right. president trump sharing one of the perks of life in the white house with new jersey governor chris christie. the president telling christie to try the meat loaf. governor christie saying the meat loaf was actually pretty good. >> this is what it's like to be with trump. okay? he says there's the menu, or whatever you want, then says, chris, you and i are going to have the meat loaf. i said well -- we're going to have the meat loaf? he said the meat loaf is fabulous. tkpwhr did you the meat loaf? >> i did. >> sandra: everybody loves a good meat loaf. so what makes that meat loaf so great? there's a white house recipe online from former first lady pat nixon. it includes ground beef, bread crumb, whipping cream, tomato sauce and egg, parsley, salt and pepper. of course black pepper.

make a grocery list, head out to the store, whip yourself up some meat loaf. while some in the media may be smarting after president trump's no holds barred news conference yesterday, high many of his supporters are cheering him on. >> i just see many, many untruthful thing. i'll tell you what else i see. tone. the word tone. the tone is such hatred. i'm really not a pwa person, by the way. tech: don't let a cracked windshield ruin your plans. trust safelite. with safelite's exclusive "on my way text"... you'll know exactly when we'll be there. giving you more time for what matters most.

die hard fans tomorrow in florida for his first campaign straoeul rally as commander in chief. still many are shaking their head at that news conference yesterday where he unleashed on the media. >> we all make mistakes. i'll make mistake. you'll write badly. i'm okay with that. i'm not okay when it is fake. i watch cnn. there's so much anger and hatred. and just the hatred. >> just because the attack of fake news and attacking our network -- >> i'm changing it from fake news though. very fake. >> aren't you -- [ laughter ]. >> i was given that information. actually, i have seen that information around. it was a very substantial victory. where are you from? >> bbc. >> there's another beauty. >> good line. impartial, free and pair.

>> yeah, sure. just like cnn. >> sandra: reaction to mr. trump's remarks is split along partisan lines. among those applauding, rush limbaugh. >> just what the doctor ordered. this is donald trump going to the american people, advancing his domestic agenda, and pwring totally transparent. i don't think, they don't know. they don't know how to get on the same stage that he's on. american people are gonna eat this up. >> sandra: good to have you here. it just doesn't seem to get old today. 77 minutes of rifting television that gripped us. still today we are talking about it. was it effective for the president to get his message across? >> gallop does a poll that shows media at an all time low. break it down on party lines. 9:1 republicans don't trust the media. okay. we expect that.

how about independents? 70% don't trust the media. so what's the oldest game in washington these days? or any day for that matter? you attack an unpopular institution. there is no downside. do you know what's amazing though? that press conference was called to announce a new labor secretary nominee. 77 minute press conference. zero questions on that that nominee. >> sandra: rush limbaugh said this is just what the doctor ordered. >> clearly the results of the election say that as well. we're moving to election type rallies as well. radio, social media, it wasn't just the base that loved that. there were many laugh out loud moments clearly. >> sandra: people looked like they were having a good time. >> including the reporters. it was hearing from independents and also those not liking the president said that they love that. that wait a minute, this is leadership. with all the noise the media has been doing, suddenly there's a

distinctive clear and transparent voice. you know what you're getting. people across the board liked it. this is what the democrats are also missing, how everyone is responding to this at this.when the media thinks they are turning people away from him, it's the opposite. >> i wouldn't say people across the board liked it. >> democrats wouldn't. >> sandra: maybe a different word rather than like. >> no no no. cnn has political commentator. after that press conference, she said, and i'm quoting here, from her twitter feed, this presser is just trump's usual whining, moaning, venting session. jake tapper called it -- skoe sarboro same thing. i'm saying those people are republicans. >> she's been a known partisan. what i'm speaking of are the people who have been waiting to see. that's when they've responded to

something all the rest of individuals find to be unusual. >> sandra: let's get to one moment from that news conference that people have been talking ab today as well. and that is an african-american white house reporter april ryan, donald trump had an exchange with her that lot of folks are talking about. watch this. >> you want to include the cbc, mr. president, in your kfrgs with our urban agenda, inner city agenda? will you include the congressional black caucus? >> i would. i tell you what, do you want to set up the meeting? do you want to set up the meeting? >> no no no. >> are they friends of yours? set up the meeting. let's go. set up a meeting. i would love to meet with the black caucus. i think it's great. >> look, that is now being spun as a racial issue in some way, that she's supposed to know hem because she's an african-american woman. mr. trump said he views the press as the opposition. he sees her effectively sounds to me, and i think other people, advocating for that group of

particular democrats. and i think it was his point of suggesting and reminding people that the press here even is advocating for that side. >> i love the criticism that donald trump has not met with with the cbc. do you know how long it took president obama to meet with the cbc? more than a year. and he's been in office now 28 days. >> and his answer is he'd love to do it. that's also news. he said let's do it. >> sandra: we're short on news coming out of that yesterday. thanks to both of you. a man protected under former president obama's dream act taken into custody after an ice raid. why his arrest the raising questions about the trump administration's immigration priorities. your insurance company won't replace the full value of your totaled new car. the guy says, "you picked the wrong insurance plan."

>> sandra: immigration authorities have detained a 23-year-old illegal immigrant

who is protected under former president obama's dream act. defense claiming daniel ramirez is in custody due to gang affiliation. his attorney is denying the claims. the case is now thrusting so called dreamers into a national debate over trump administration immigration priorities. dan springer joins us live outside the courthouse in seattle. dan, what happened in court today? >> reporter: hi, sandra. well, the court hearing just wrapped up. a quick one. basically daniel ramirez lawyers were dealt a set back. they were seeking his immediate release. but the judge today said the matter first has to go in front of an immigration judge, and so they wil decide whether or not he gets out of prison. ramirez came to the u.s. when he was 7 years old. he was twice granted protected status under deferred action for childhood arrivals, daca, but then were arrested by ice agenteds who were there to pick up his agent.

authorities say ice had no authority to arrest them and it violates the agreement of daca. ice said it pulled the daca status from ramirez because he admitted gang affiliation. when asked during the raid agents say he responded, quote, he used to hang out with the ceranials in california and still hangs out with the paisons in washington state. under federal guideline, that is something that can cost you your daca status. sandra? >> sandra: dan, where do we stand right now? are deportations up under president trump? >> reporter: well, you would think so, because every time there's a deportation, every time there's a raid, it makes big national news. we're seeing it in the headlines all over the place. removal operations are actually down a little bit from the obama administration. we had so far we've had 680 arrests this month in places like los angeles and chicago and new york. but that number is dwarfed by

the arrest and deportations under president obama. here's are just three examples. 2059 arrests in march of 2015, more than 3100 in april of 2012 and 2900 in september of 2011. ice also said that there have been many false reports of check points and other actions that they are not taking, that this is just business as usual. sandra? >> sandra: dan springer live outside the court room in seattle, thank you. we'll be right back. at planters, we put fresh roasted flavor into every can, which has its drawbacks. guys, know anything about this missing inventory? wasn't me! the cheeks don't lie, chet...
