thanks for being here today. thank you for being here all week. i will see you on "the five." i'm the dj today on "the five." i get to pick all the music. don't miss it. >> shepard: it's 3:00 on the east coast. i'm shepard smith. the answer to the question is, what the president is talking about is in fact illegal. moments ago, the president talked about the idea to take undocumented immigrants and release them to sanctuary cities where democrats are in charge. nancy pelosi calls that idea disrespectful and an idea unworthy of the presidency. president trump tweeted today and i'm quoting, due to the fact that democrats are unwilling to change our dangerous immigration laws, we are indeed as reported giving strong consideration to

placing illegal aliens into sanctuary cities only. the white house asked immigration officials whether this would be possible. here's the answer. u.s. immigration officials under president trump responded that doing so would be illegal. "the washington post" first reported that president trump is considering this proposal during his ongoing battle with democrats over funding for his border wall. sanctuary cities are communities and states that do cooperate with federal authorities. five states are sanctuary states and there's hundreds of sanctuary cities across america, including san francisco, the home city of this house speaker, nancy pelosi. critics say it's a plan to use migrants as pawns. john roberts is live at the white house. do we have a sense whether the

president is aware that what he's discussing is against the law? >> he definitely does. i just got out of the roosevelt room with the president. i was fortunate to get some questions to him. the white house was told by the department of homeland security, specifically immigration and customs enforcement, some time ago that they're not able to do what the president was thinking about doing. i think they first started thinking about it in november and again in february. it runs up against laws regarding immigration enforcement authority and the detention and release of illegal migrants. it runs up against appropriations authority as well. that isodosen't have the money to send bus loads of people from the border to sanctuary cities like san francisco and others. the president has been given an opinion by ice that it can't be done.

the president on occasion looked at those opinions and says, that's one person's opinion. let's see if we can find a way around it. that may be where the president's thinking is right now. until this morning, this really kind of was in the realm of aides that had been talking about it. i was told it wasn't stephen miller's idea. the democrats believe that stephen miller is responsible for every immigration idea that comes along. this particular one i'm told was not miller. but it had been talked about and the department of homeland security had been asked to render an opinion on it. the president in that tweet earlier today made it official white house policy. as you heard just a couple minutes ago, the president said he's strongly considering taking illegal migrants from the border and moving them to sanctuary cities or sanctuary states. here's what nancy pelosi thought about that whole idea. listen here. >> i don't know anything about it. again, it's just another notion

that is unworthy of the presidency of the president and disrespect for the challenges that we face as a country, as a people to address who we are, a nation of immigrants. >> the story that first appear in "the washington post" today said the white house was pressuring the department of homeland security and ice to carry this out. matt albins, the acting deputy secretary at the time the opinion was asked for is now the acting administrator of ice issued the following statement this morning. "as the acting deputy, i was not pressured by anyone at the white house on this issue. my advice was heated. the e-mail exchange is clear." until now, the white house position has been that they ask dhs and ice for an opinion. the president seems to be pushing it further. in the political realm, we have this statement from hogan gidley. democrats say we must have open

borders and illegals have a right to be here at all costs. they should be working with the administration to find the best ways to transport the illegal aliens already set for release into communities in their states and in their districts. the official line from the white house, shep, this is about taking the pressure off of southern communities. there's a certain element if they're not going to cooperate with us, let's stick it to them. shep? >> shepard: thanks, john. there's cleaning up that needs to be done here. the fact is that no democrat, not one in congress or otherwise, has called for open borders. as far as sanctuary cities go, there's five sanctuary states. on top of that, there's 127 sanctuary cities. the law is clear, you can't do this. let's bring in the "fox news sunday" anchor chris wallace. given that, chris, is this a talking point for the day? is this an effort to change the

narrative or the news cycle? what is this? do we know? >> we don't know. i have a suspicion, which i'll give you in a second. let's go back. this is a story that was broken last night by "the washington post." we didn't know it until last night, that twice, once last november and once in february during the whole shut down crisis that the white house suggested to ice, to the immigration and customs enforcement, hey, let's take the migrants at the border, people in detention and let's put them on buses, think about it, put them on buses and send them to sanctuary cities of the coast of california, san francisco, put them on the streets, take them to the northeast to rhode island and connecticut and dump them on the street. twice ice said you can't do it. we don't have funding to do it, we don't have the buses to do it, there's liability. what if there's an accident, what if somebody gets sick or hurt. all kinds of reasons why they

couldn't do it. the white house came back last night and said this is an idea that was floated and rejected. that was the end of it. they also flatly denied that there was any effort of political retaliation here. now, suddenly, quit a surprise to everybody, the president this afternoon comes out with a tweet and says no, this isn't over. i'm seriously considering it. you saw him say in that press availability just now, i'm seriously considering this. they want open borders, they want people there, we'll give them people which sounds like political retaliation. here's my guest. this will never happen, this is the president saying we're not going to cower and try to pretend we didn't do this. i'm going to suggest it. my base will like it. will i happen? i would be shocked. >> shepard: it's a push for wall funding, which isn't coming. there's no political pressure that will bring wall funding according to the democrats in washington. the funding comes from the house

of representatives. the democrats are in control of the house. they make decisions about funding. that won't happen. aside of that, there's a couple of solutions that have been floated. is any of this possible, chris? we have backups in asylums claims because there's not enough judges and facilities. they could expedite increasing the number of judges and make the system work better is. there a discussion of doing something like that? >> in fact, there was more money in the eventual settlement that the white house and democrats made to end the shut down in february for things like that. i will tell you having talked to a top white house official yesterday, they think there's other things they can do. this is one of the reasons that i thi i think kirstjen nielsen. there was a feeling in the white house that there was resistance to change anything. for instance, when somebody comes and seeks asylum, there's an enter interview with a dhs

official in which there has to be a declaration of credible fear. they have credible fear if they're returned to their country that something bad is going to happen to them. the feeling in the white house is that dhs without any change in laws, any change in regulations could be tougher in determining whether or not there was a credible fear on the part of an asylum seeker. once they get the credible fear, then they're allowed in the country. the backup was 700 days before you get an actual hearing before a judge. so they're saying before you even get into the pipeline here, you can turn some people around and say there's no credible fear here. you just want to leave because you want to get a job in the united states. you're a economic refugee, not a political refugee. it's a complicated issue. there's a lot of aspects to it. it sure doesn't look like there's going to be any effort to solve these problems. there's two other points i would

make. one, there's no question there's a crisis. when you have 100,000 people trying to come across the border, 50,000 family units, this isn't manufactured. this is a serious problem. two, you can criticize the president all you want, the fact is the democrats haven't come up with any credible plan, there's no agreement on the part of the democrats and both in terms of the substance of the issue and politically they're in a v vulnerabilit vulnerability. when the president says they want open borders, you can argue if it's true or not. it's like the republicans on healthcare. the democrats don't have a plan. >> shepard: previous administrations have approved this with a two-prong system. which is to give assistance, economic and otherwise to the three countries in question now in central america to try to make situations there better for those trying to leave because

the situations at home are so horrible. combining that with expediting the process of going through asylum. the president claims a couple percentages of those that come to the united states come to their hearings. the statistics from his own government indicate that that is wrong. the vast majority do go through. so many have what they are believe are legitimate claims. deny them hearings on such matters would go against decades, centuries of history in this country. unless they come together and figure something out, it's hard to imagine how this untenable situation gets any better. >> i agree. you know, there's all kinds of problems here. clearly there's a problem. i think everybody has to agree to that. it seems that everybody would rather play politics with it than tray to find a solution. like a lot of issues in this country. you know, it creates the stalemates that it will get worse and worse. the president is lashing out.

he's genuinely frustrated at the fact 100,000 people -- last year, only 400,000 came across in the whole year. now you're going back to the days in the 2000s where a million came over. has to be a solution but nobody is willing to meet in the middle and come up with one. no indication as we head closer to the 2020 presidential election that there will be any kind of serious compromise. >> shepard: no, doesn't appear to be at all. this weekend on "fox news sunday," chris, we'll be listening as you take to ben cardin of maryland. a member of the senate foreign relations committee. that's this sunday on "fox news sunday" on your local fox station. check your local listings. how would you like to never again sit in a traffic jam? just end it. or download an entire movie to your phone in a few seconds? that's what 5g technology is promising. a lot more than speed.

tried to set himself on fire but did indeed set his clothes on fire. there are varying reports that he may have put gasoline on himself. fox news can't confirm that. he's described as a protester. the secret service says that this is affecting areas around the white house now. after this video, they walked this guy away to arrest him. not take him to the hospital. that's not what the secret service is saying. that would suggest that he wasn't badly injured. now the question is about whether there are suspicious packages. so after the man lit himself on fire, no danger to the president at all according to the secret service. after he lit himself on fire, they go to treat him and take him away. did your that process they find suspicious packages in front of the white house, which they believe they in some way be

connected to this incident. from the latest reporting, police seem unsure about that at least at the moment. what we know is, a man set his jacket open fire in front of the white house, treated for injuries. there was a good amount of smoke according to reports that we're getting from there. the officers ran around to clear pedestrians away from pennsylvania avenue as witnesses on scene describe it, they were going around the area, screaming get out, back up, back up. during this process, they found what are being described only as suspicious packages. now, here's the reasons that the concern level is not that high. nobody in the white house is in any danger. they cleared the area. the question is while they were trying to get people away from this man who had tried to set himself on fire, did some of those people leave some of their packages -- say you had a backpack. in an effort to get away, some

people might have left things behind. so when we say suspicious package, that's their term. they're treating them as suspicious until they find out otherwise. because it's a friday afternoon in washington, a protester outside the white house has tried to light himself on fire. they got him out of there and now they're checking on the suspicious packages. when we have more on this or if there's any updates regarding the packages, i'll bring them to you right away. a key player in the college admissions scandal is in court today pleading guilty. what he admitted to coming up. the spokesman for trivago, you've seen the specials is also in trouble with the law. we'll let you know what cops say he did. speaking of travel, somebody you may not want to hear if you like stocking up on my any soaps and

>> shepard: a fox urgent now. police in minnesota say somebody may have thrown a child from a third floor balcony of the mall of americas outside minneapolis. there's a suspect in custody. cops say the child has significant injuries. rob olson from fox 9 in minneapolis reporting live on scene. rob? >> shep, i tell you what, this is one of the most disturbing stories to hear about. here's what happened. bloomington police say they got the call around 10:20 that a child had been thrown or pushed from the third floor balcony in the southeast corner.

the mall has a big security presence but there's also a bloomington police substation in the mall. they responded quickly. by the time they did, there were people attending to this 5-year-old child suffering injuries three floors down from where he fell. witnesses said there was a man that they gave a description. there's a light rail station. they halted the trains, looked for him. they found him. they took a 24-year-old man into custody. they say this was a targeted event but they don't think there was any family relation. they're not clear what the connection is. >> the suspect in custody is at the bloomington police department, a 24-year-old male. at this time we don't believe

there's a relationship between the suspect and the child or the family of the child. we are actively investigating as to why this incident occurred. >> but we asked if this was a stranger than a random act. he would not elaborate on that. just saying they're questioning this 24-year-old man that is in custody, we'll have more details to release later. the child taken to the hospital. traumatic injuries. we don't have an update as of yet on the child. witnesses say it didn't look good. shep? >> shepard: rob olson on scene from our local station, fox 9 in minneapolis. thank you. another fox urgent now. president obama's former white house counsel has pleated not guilty after a grand jury indicted him for lying to robert mueller's prosecutors. folks there say greg craig misled mueller's team and the justice department about lobbying work that he did for

ukraine in the year 2012. greg craig record add video statement saying he was always honest with investigators. >> i certainly did not lobby any officials on behalf of ukraine. i did not participate in a scheme to mislead the government or conceal material facts. this prosecution is unprecedented and unjustified. >> shepard: mueller's team unconsidered possible wrong doing by craig when they were investigating paul manafort's lobbying work for ukraine. let's get to catherine herridge. she's reporting from the justice department. catherine? >> thanks, shep. greg craig's lawyers makes the argument that he was singled out. they accuse the u.s. attorney here in washington of prosecutorial overreach. we have more of craig's statement on social media where he seems to indicate that he feels he's a victim of a

selective prosecution. >> at the very start, we researched the requirements. we concluded the law firm did not need to register. i never discussed our findings with any u.s. officials. >> craig was in the district court just a few blocks from where i'm standing right now short time ago where he entered a plea of not guilty and processed by the u.s. marshals and he was freed on his own. he has a procedural hearing next week. these charges relayed to the fara. this requires americans to register with the justice department about lobbying work on behalf of foreign nations or politicians. greg craig's case grew out of chairman paul manafort because both men were doing business for a ukrainian politician who has close ties to vladimir putin.

what is worth noting is that craig will have his case heard by amy berman jackson that handled the prosecution of paul manafort. >> shepard: catherine herridge reporting from the justice department. thanks. you may soon need to pack your own shampoo if you're heading to a hotel in california. the state assembly there has passed a bill that bans places like hotels and resorts and otherwise from offering those small plastic bottles of shampoo and conditioner and lotion and all that sort of thing. no more of that or other freebies to enjoy. instead, they'll be installing bulk dispensers that multiple people would use. the goal, obviously, to cut down on the number of plastic containers being thrown away. the bill a first of its kind and goes to the democratic governor for his signature. coming up, an update on

>> shepard: breaking news coming out of boston where the man accused of taking tests for students in the college admissions scandal has just pleaded guilty. a live look at the courthouse now. his name, mark liddell, mark riddell. prosecutors say he's got about $10,000 for sat or act that he took. sometimes he took the exams himself and other teams he just changed kids answers for them. he faces up to 20 years in prison and $250,000 fine. prosecutors expected to recommend a shorter sentence

because of his planned plea, guilty plea. riddell's court appearance coming at the end of a busy week in the college admissions case. first we learned that felicity huffman would plead guilty. prosecutors say she would serve 4 to 10 months because she went in early. but that was not the case for lori loughlin. she was just sitting back from all the reports that we have going this isn't going to happen. in complete denial. she's no more. she's and her fashion designer husband hit with new charges making prison time look all the more likely. e news reports that aunt becky is freaking out about the possibility of going behind bars. looks like that's likely. rick leventhal is our senior correspondent. rick, i've read a lot about this today and yesterday. it sounds like she just didn't believe it would happen to her,

like for some reason they weren't going to prosecute her. >> she might have been in denial. we have more on that in a minute, shep. the hearing for mark riddell is over and the sentencing is for july 18. he ignored shouted questions with his attorney. you saw that video already where he's the taller guy in the scarf. they spent about 40 minutes inside courtroom number 4 with the judge. prosecutors say ridell, they call him the brains of the scam because he's so smart. he admitted his role. he was the guy that would sit in the room with students taking the exams acting as proctor but he would take the test himself and change wrong answers after the kids left the room. prosecutors say he didn't have inside information. he was just that good. he could get a perfect score on demand. he admitted to the court that he did this for seven years, collecting about $10,000 per test and leaving some answers

wrong to avoid suspicion. he had been suspended from his job as director of the college entrance exam at img and facing up to 20 years. because of his cooperation, he's looking at between 33 and 41 months behind bars, plus he has to pay a fine of about $240,000, which is apparently what he made taking those tests. >> shepard: regarding lori loughlin, aunt becky, e-news uses this sort of technical phrase of "freaking out." do we have anything more common speak? >> that came from one of her friends apparently. she told e news last year that she had been offered some reality shows and she turned them down because her life wasn't that exciting. but things have escalated quickly. now they're facing serious prison time after paying

$500,000 each for their two daughters pretending they were crew team recruits. e news said she how old the she could skate by. now she's freaking out about doing some serious prison time, shep. >> shepard: rick leventhal live in new york. thank you. let's go to seth now, litigator, business law attorney, specializes in white collar defenses and entertainment and sports law. is this an efforts to put pressure on her or how would you characterize what it is we're seeing now? >> sure, it's pressure. but lori loughlin missed the boat. at this point, you can see the defendants splintering out in two groups. you have the first group including felicity huffman who have owned up to what they have done. they have expressed remorse. they're cooperating with prosecutors and they're probably going to receive a relatively lighter sentence. then you have the second group,

the folks including lori loughlin who are just hanging on and fighting back. it really looks bleak for them. they turned up the heat. we have what is called a superseding indictment, which includes additional felony counts for money laundering. looks like lori loughlin may be going full house to the big house. >> shepard: there you go. when you look at it given the circumstances as we know them, are we talking about months for lori loughlin or years here? >> great question. i think that unfortunately as the days and the weeks evolve, it looks like it's probably leaning more towards years. the reason i say that is because the federal prosecutors every week are continuing to gather an avalanche of evidence against these criminal defendants. they have tapes, e-mails, texts. in light of what you're reporting, they have cooperating witnesses. they can take the stand, step in

front of the jury and bring the full color of this historic scheme to life. the federal prosecutors want to make an example of these affluent defendants. they want to make a clear message here, stop trying to game the system. it's looking bleak and dark. >> thanks, seth. the deadline to file your taxes is just a few days away or file for an extension. you have to do something by them. security experts say cyber criminals are out in force trying to take advantage of americans. so what is their scam of choice this year? gillian turner reporting live in d.c. >> cyber criminals have been ratcheting up malware campaigns targeting thousands of american filers, individuals and businesses. tax scams are nothing new. cyber criminals are honing their skills. this year they found new ways to deploy a dangerous type of malware called trickbot. the department of homeland

security is taking notice. hackers sent e-mails spoofing a major accounting and payroll firm like adp and paychecks, enticing people with click bait and installs excel files on user's computers. once infected, hackers can take the wheel. they have complete control over the device and can steal personal information, empty out bank accounts and spread the infection to other network computers. the hardest hit were the 2018 tax season, accounting firms, human resources firms and payroll companies. experts say none of this is surprising to them. tax information contains a wealth of data that hackers can use to commit financial crimes like home equity loan fraud and tax rebate theft, shep. >> shepard: the government -- is the government taking new steps to protect information? >> well, according to the irs

commissioner, the u.s. tax agency itself is far from safe from these and other types of cyber attacks. take a listen. >> we receive over 150 million returns a year. we are probably the world's largest data bank. we receive about $1.4 billion attacks on our system each year. >> capital hill lawmaker as agree with him. they say the irs computer system itself would make a great target for hacking. >> i.d. systems are outdated. while there's been improvement, 45% of the i.d. infrastructure that the irs is using is beyond their original useful life. >> in internal irs reporting showed that in 2016 the agency was scammed out of more than $1.6 million in fraudulent returns. all adding up to what is a perfect storm according to cyber security experts.

watch your favorite movies with no buffering and having speed that is up to 100 times faster by some estimates, there's are some also really big societal implications for this technology as well. you mentioned one. surgery at kings college in london, doctors used a demi patient to demonstrate how a surgeon could be in a remote location, have a remote arm and perform surgery on a patient in a different city. so two different implications there. you mentioned self-driving cars. the idea being the self-driving cars could communicate with one another. in theory, fewer accidents, less traffic. probably a big boon to most people who spend a lot of time on the roads. drones. when we think of some of these big infrastructure businesses, i'm thinking about oil wells. for example, the drones can go over these wells, can have monitors on them. if there is any accidents, they can be cleaned up with fewer

humans involved, which is less risky. smart home and virtual reality, those implications are on the entertainment sign. even in farming, there's one town in the southwest of england and a third of the cows that are on this gentleman's property have already 5g collars and tags. essentially send messages about their biometrics, why they need to be milks and herded. he's getting texts from his cows, a ton of real-life implications. the down side is that we're still probably a few years away from these implications. there's a lot of telecom companies trying to build out the infrastructure asap. a slice of what is to come in the future, shep. >> shepard: deidra bolton live in new york. coming up, problems for the trivago guy. you've seen him on the commercials. why the face of that travel website, trivago, could be in
