you have your own hit or miss be sure to tweet to us that is it for this week's show thanks to panel thanks to all watching i am paul gi >> nationwide crack-down on illegal immigration is now underway, the ice raids began last night in new york and several other cities. the operation design today apprehend thousands of people who have been given final court orders to leave the country. hello, everyone, i'm arthel neville, welcome to brand-new hour of america's news headquarters. eric: hello, arthel, i'm eric sean, several cities say they will not cooperate with ice, that is immigration lawyers scramble to protect that he means that they say are being unfairly targeted. the trump administration, though, strongly defending the raids saying it is merely upholding the law.

>> ice does it every single day, law enforcement in the country enforces the law. it's definition of their duties and this, of course, hand under president obama, he was refer today deporter in chief. >> for more in operations william following the story from los angeles, hi, william. >> eric, it is accurate to say that under president obama most large cities cooperated with ice to deport illegal immigrants, that's not the case today, we are in california, 2.5 illegal immigrants, 25% of u.s. total a million here in los angeles, now, this is the federal building, when illegal immigrants are arrested, they will go garage, tunnel, processing area with a dozen ice agents, but this is also detention facility, if we move up here, you will see the mirror windows, what's happening inside the agents are confirming identification, talking to consulate and when buses leave here they are likely going to airport, the target as arthel

said, 2,000 individuals that meet 3 standards, recent arrival, criminal record, number for -- 3 deportation order, still critics say it is heartless, racist, unnecessary, hurts the economy and terrorizes communities even under president obama he deported more individuals than president bush or president trump. lawmakers are complaining, immigrants are saying they afraid to go to work, school or the store. >> they come out and extra precautious about where they to go, what type of attention they cause. >> they are not out in public, they are not spending money, do those things that they would normally do out of their own safety. >> immigrants on high alert, they set up phone hotlines, governor of california and

several majors say don't answer the door and don't answer ice questions, the administration, however, argues this population had their opportunity, they were given due process, only 3% responded when they were given a second chance to stay now their time is up. >> you're doing target enforcement actions against specific individuals who had their day immigration court and merely executing lawfully issued judge's orders, this is about the rule of law, enforcing and maintaining the integrity of the system, protecting country and making sure people that are in violation of law, that there are consequences to that. >> now, operations enforcement operations like this are expensive, time-consuming and dangerous, a lot can go wrong, also potential political fallout, obviously something called collateral arrest, when an agent goes in, let's say you're the target, the other people in the room separate the

target from the rest of the family, keep them all together and keep them in, ice says will make judgment on case-by-case basis but pictures come out, gosh only knows what the fallout would be, thank you. eric: judy miller a little later on in newscast, thanks, arthel. arthel: president trump firing off a series of tweets this morning aimed at progressive freshwomen who he believes are quote, loudly telling the people how american government should be run and the tweets go after the birthplace of the congresswoman, lots of democrats taking so social media to voice respond, ellison barber at the white house with more, ellison. >> arthel, deputy communication's director for president trump's reelection campaign is criticizing the characterization of these tweets claiming anyone who says the president told members of congress to go back to where they came from is lying, that is

inaccurate, here are the president's tweets in full. so interesting to see progressive democrat congresswoman who originally came from countries whose governments are complete and total catastrophe, the worst most corrupt and i i want anywhere in the world, if they had functioning government at all, loudly and viciously telling the people of the united states, the greatest and most powerful nation on earth how our government is to be run. why don't they go back and help fix the totally crime-infested places from which they came, then come back and show us how it is done, these places need your help badly, you can't leave fast enough, i'm sure that nancy pelosi would be very happy to quickly work out free travel arrangements, appear to be directed as the group of freshmen progressive democrats known as the squad, representative elon omar, tlaib, alexandria ocasio-cortez and, iana presley. four lawmakers responding with tweets of their own, alexandria

ocasio-cortez writing in part, the country i come to and the country i swear to is the united states. representative presley saying this is what racism looks like, we are what democracy looks like and we are not going anywhere except back to dc to fight for the families you marginalized and vilify every day. representative tlaib from michigan, detroit taught me thousand fight for the communities you continue to degrade and attack, keep talking, you'll be out of the white house soon and representative omar telling the president, you are stoking white nationalism because you are angry that people like us are serving in congress and fighting against your hate-filled agenda. all but one of the four congresswoman were born in the united states, all four are american citizens, we have reached out to the white house and asked them questions about the president's tweets as well as response they are now getting, so far we have not heard back, arthel. arthel: ellison barber, thank you.

eric: now we turn our attention to barry as the tropical storm continues to bear down on the gulf states, thousands of people remain without power and they're bracing for more extreme flooding as the governor of louisiana says the worst may not be over, we have fox news team coverage, extreme weather center, steve harrigon. first with rick levanthol where all eyes failed on katrina but this time it's being tested. >> eric, it's been raining steady but no where near accumulations they were concerned, authorities were worried about levels of mississippi which were at flood stage before barry came assure, hit well west of us and headed mostly to the north, areas like baton rogue are getting drenched and flooding to far mostly limit today -- limited to low-lying

areas, some levies were overtopped by storm surge but not breached and local officials say those waters have mostly receded and there are still the danger of flash flooding and river flooding in some areas as the storm continues to move north, ongoing issues with power, of course, close to 60,000 people zil in the dark across the state of louisiana including some customers in and around new orleans. the coast guard rescued a dozen people yesterday including a couple of medical emergencies via helicopter but no reports of rescues needed to be by the coast guard, other major signs of progress, new orleans international airport and port of new who deputy orleans opened mayor held her very last barry-related conference.

>> our people are competent and they are capable and they are committed and they have courage, and this is something that i saw every step of the way throughout this event, although we know that we were spared but we always have to remain prepared for what is next. >> levy has performed up to expectations, eric, the mississippi river, those have been reopened now and it seems like things are pretty good here but authorities will continue to watch the water levels because all the rain that continues to fall to the north at some point make its way back down here again. eric: wow, seems that rick, mother nature and the money spent on flood gates and pumps work today protect the city, arthel. arthel: as rick said, so far the mississippi levies have been holding up but the risk of flooding still remains in several parts along the gulf

coast, our fox team coverage continues now with steve who is on the ground in crystal springs near jackson, mississippi, tornado and flash flood warnings are in effect, steve. >> arthel, they are worried about a lot of things here in crystal springs, mississippi, population 5,000, just outside of jackson, the main thing is really the rain, it is just coming straight down right now anywhere up to 9-inches of rain, so there are concerns about flash flooding, also concerns about potential tornadoes, tornado watch underway here, we have seen throughout the state rescue vehicles, urban rescue teams and high-water rescue vehicles all in case people get trapped by quickly rising water, something which certainly could happen inland mississippi where i am now. earlier today the head of fema warned that the storm still could pack a deadly punch. >> making sure people don't put

themselves at risk and don't put first responders at risk for making bad choices, you know, we want to make sure people remain safe, top priority is life safety here and that is our message, has been our message or will be our message until barry dissipates. >> officials here have been blunt, they've told people, expect to lose power and have plan to deal with it. back to you. arthel: steve, thank you. eric. eric: heavy rains do remain major concern as weakening storms heads north. adam klotz in fox news extreme weather center, so what can we expect, adam? >> hey, eric, we can expect more rain, weakening because we are over land, you see the circulation, none of the rain is there, the winds will continue to die down, moving slow at 9 miles an hour and dragging all the moisture with it and wherever the rain is falling that's where we will see issues. this is radar estimate of precipitation so far, deeper

reds, 4 to 5-inch ls of rain, is continuing to fill in louisiana coast and running to center of mississippi, areas that have seen 4 to 6-inches of rain so far. more rain falling across the region. pretty much the entire state of mississippi is seeing rainfall right now, some of the areas, deeper colors getting into deep blues, yellows, reds, heavy rainfall. we have seen heavy rain in new orleans area, hasn't been getting as heavy as some other spots and run you out to coast where off and on heavy showers but there's more big rain back out to sea, so this isn't the end of the rain, what you're seeing right now, this will go on for a while. estimated rainfall on top of what we have seen, in addition to what i just showed you, the orange colors anywhere from 6 to 10 more inches of rain, you see that running as far as memphis. our future, i will put this in motion, this will run into

monday even though the circulation continues to lift up in the arkansas, look at all the moisture we are pulling off the gulf, they will be rounds of showers throughout the rest of today, tonight and then running into monday, maybe little bit more spotty but at times heavy rain still on the way. eric: still continuing right up north in ohio river valley. could affect pennsylvania. east coast later on this week. all right, thanks, adam. arthel. arthel: well, the lights are back on in new york city after massive blackout last night. the outage shutting down subway lines and broadway theaters while leaving tens of thousands of people in the dark. jacqui heinrich was out in the thick of it and she has the latest from new york city news room, unbelievable. >> it really was, more unbelievable, arthel, that nobody was hurt. power company can't explain why the blackout was so widespread, they did give answers in press conference over an hour ago, stemmed from mechanical failure at transformer substation not

related to high demand and not related to terrorism and not related to cyber threats, the blackout lasted from 7:00 p.m. to just before midnight spanning 30 blocks from midtown manhattan all the way to upper west side, 73,000 accounts in the dark, police and fire respond today 400 stuck elevators and two tubway train carrying 2800 passenger that is couldn't get into the station, luckily nobody was hurt, recues did prove difficult. police directing traffic by hand. hotels and theaters with massive evacuations. jennifer lopez show coming to a halt there, it did put spotlight on new york new york new york mn

iowa. >> i want people to understand and this job and any public ceo today, you have to take charge wherever you are and i did that. but in terms of the decision, as soon as it became clear, we did not have a immediately resolvable crisis, i started moving. >> the blackout happened 42 years to the blackout which caused widespread riots, new yorkers pitching in to help police direct traffic at some intersections. senator schumer calling probe and we are lucky right now and happy that it is all over, arthel. arthel: absolutely, jackie hien -- heinrich, thank you. >> we had coverage in fox news channel and we were up there in the scene when lights went out,

60 people behind us, they all gave a big cheer and they spoke to everybody when the lights finally came on last night. >> absolutely. eric: ice is carrying out raids across the country today and the rhetoric on that, well, heating up on both sides of the aisle woman: it's beautiful. man: beefy and mean looking it's the strongest, most advanced silverado ever. and it's full of surprises.

arthel: 2020 presidential candidates in iowa this weekend hope to go build support in the first caucus state, several of the candidates are attending the progress iowa corn feed event in cedar rapids, garrett joins us live in washington bureau with all the latest hi, garrett. >> new poll out showing top democrats beating president

trump, in the wall street journal, joe biden, bernie sanders, elizabeth warren and kamala harris come out in hypothetical match-ups, the reason biden has largest lead 9 points ahead of trump because he won among independent and suburban voters. like biden senator amy klobuchar is a moderate conned -- candidate hoping to win over moderate voters and touted ability to win in place that is went for president trump in 2016. >> i've won in districts that he has won over 20 points, we need a person that can win in iowa that can win in wisconsin, if you doubt we can win in wisconsin, former governor scott walker. >> senator kamala harris has been jumping in the polls since the first democratic debate when she took on joe biden and their

feud continued and in new hampshire she only had one target, president trump. >> this is an individual who has betrayed people, who said he would do one thing and has done quite another. the task before us and the fight before us includes the requirement that we successfully prosecute the case against four more years of donald trump. >> the next democratic debate is just a couple of weeks away, so all of the candidates are now trying to build up as much momentum as they can going in so they can either keep things going or turn them around, arthel. arthel: all right, thank you very much. >> you got it. >> the design is not about family separation, that's not the intent, there has been and never will be, the intent -- >> can't avoid it. >> there are challenges, absolutely. but i can tell you the men and women of ice, that they are true american heros, they are mothers, they are fathers,

brothers, and sisters, they are going to apply this with humanity and compassion. eric: ice immigration raids are currently underway in some of the major cities across the country, meanwhile vice president mike pence defending the customs and border patrol treatment of migrants days after visit two texas detention facilities near southern border, what is the reaction to the raids today? judy miller joins us, pulitzer-prize winning journalist and fox news contributor, judy, we are told that the raids are continues, what are your reaction that the administration is doing this? >> well, i think that as far as i can tell, eric, these raids are largely a political message by donald trump to his base that he is serious about doing something about illegal immigration or undocumented workers in this country, having been unable to really make

significant progress with his wall and having the numbers of illegal immigrants climbing by the day except for this month when the numbers were actually down, 57,000 people roughly were apprehended crossing the border which is down from may, but 6 times the amount of people who were apprehended in 2018, so donald trump is eager to show that he's serious about this issue, this really matters to him, this is a promise to the base, the problem is that it does nothing to expand donald trump's reach across the country or his popularity and i think even his base must be a little suspicious at this point about raids that are announced almost a month in advance to give undocumented workers plenty of time to contact their lawyers, to change their residents and have really made ice officials themselves very, very

uncomfortable because it does increase the danger to them. so all in all, i think if you really look at what's going on here, this is largely a political move on the president's part. eric: well the administration, the president and his supporters and others certainly would say that it's not a political situation, democrats have called it a, quote, political stunt, but the administration would say they are enforcing the law, look, basically 2,000 people who are undocumented immigrants who are here illegally broke the law getting into the country and shouldn't be here in the first place and have gone through the court system and adjudicated and determined by a judge that they need to be kicked out. >> right. we have known for a long time that no one really seems to be serious in this country about doing something about the illegal immigration problem in this country, not the congress, not the democratically-controlled house, not republicans in the senate and not even the president

because if you want to do something serious about immigration, i think you really do have to do something about the countries themselves from which these people are coming, we know that they are coming from el salvador, honduras, guatemala where violence of gang-related violence is out of control and yet the administration has cut foreign aid to the countries which makes things kind of worse. eric: what do you -- >> daunting challenge -- sorry? >> what should congress do and what should the administration do? on the one hand, you have perhaps funding to central american countries to make the situation better there, on the other hand, you don't have much movement in congress especially on the calls to try and change some of the asylum laws that seem to attract so many people here? >> exactly, and also also problem -- they have said again

and again, there's not enough detention facilities, pictures from these detention facilities of people in cages, and reports of children not having blankets and tooth pastes, this is turning people in the country who haven't paid attention on this issue against the president's policies whereas we know that both george w. bush and president obama deported many more people than president trump has deported, so his rhetoric, the president's rhetoric is not really keeping pace with his actions. i think people know that, but this country has to have a serious debate about whom we want in our country and why and when we give a deportation order, that order is obeyed. none of that is happening at the moment, this is a complete mess and i think that everybody whether you're not a republican or a democrat, independent, knows that if you want to do something serious about it,

congress has to reconsider the asylum laws, has to reconsider the policies that are in place at the moment. none of that is happening. eric: the vice president did push back with some of the reports saying that they were false, you do have a point, there is a crisis ongoing, certainly, and the fact not enough action many think is being done especially in congress to try to get ahold of this, judy miller, good to see you, thank you. >> good to see you, eric. arthel: alex acosta taking the fall over how he handled plea deal for jeffrey epstein more than a decade ago, so will anyone else face further scrutiny for letting epstein off easy

>> the palm beach state attorney's office is ready to let epstein walk free, no jail time, nothing. prosecutors in my former office found this to be completely unacceptable and they became involved, our office became involved. arthel: outgoing labor secretary alex acosta defending his role in 2008 plea deal for accused sex trafficker jeffrey epstein, acosta blaming florida prosecutors for apparently letting epstein off the hook prompting questions about whether those attorneys could face consequences more than a decade later, as federal

prosecutors pursue new charges against epstein, let's bring in legal panel, defense attorney and member of the republican trial lawyers association, misty is here and trial attorney and we are going to get to the blame game in a second but richard, i start with you here, did alex acosta who was u.s. attorney for the southern florida at the time give jeffrey epstein a pass in 2018 by shelving his 53-page indictment that could have sen epstein to prison for life? >> first, look, certainly looks like a 53-page indictment would send somebody to jail for a very long time if not their life and instead epstein ends up with 18 months, acosta says this, looks, if we went to trial it would have been a roll of the dice, so we did the plea deal which guarantied epstein 18 months in jail, we still need all the facts on whether that's true or not and certainly when you hear the involvement of everybody from state -- the state's

attorney office to federal prosecutors, the potential for witness tampering and witness intimidation taking place in the case, a lot of fact that is need to come out to determine whether or not acosta's behavior was that of a prosecutor trying to the their job and get justice or somebody who caved in so epstein's defense team. arthel: so misty, we played the sound bite alex acosta blamed the palm beach state attorney's office, is he right? >> well, essentially what he was saying is that the state's attorney office was going to charge epstein with a crime that would have carried no jail time and that's when federal prosecutors, that's when his office intervened and negotiated this plea deal that did, in fact, carry jail time, his argument is that the federal prosecutors actually secured a more severe penalty than what the state was even going to go for, now, whether or not he's right, look, i believe the

state's decision to be a factor in how the federal prosecutors decided to handle this case. it's not a determinative factor, it's one of many factors, richard pointed out, the question here, once we have all of the facts is whether this was prosecutorial discretion, evidentiary issues that would have put verdict at risk or prosecutorial misconduct, two very different things. arthel: misty, wasn't that so-called jail times 3 months with conditions that he could have a pass to go to work. >> yes. arthel: 6 days a week. that means one day a week, 13 days total in jail. >> right, that's what we call a slap on the wrist sentence of course given the allegations but factors that go into the analysis of what a prosecutor is going to do and what a prosecutor brings to trial, listen, arthel, the responsibility remained with the federal prosecutors to charge epstein and to make that

determination so how does that plea deal played out has nothing to do with state prosecutor's office and decisions that the state prosecutors made. arthel: we are talking about this because of the great work of miami herald. >> epstein's lawyers were alan dershowitz, lewis and jay, demanded that the deal be sealed and kept secret from epstein's victim, acosta, e-mail notification was required under federal law, so, richard, how much collateral damage will be done as prosecutors go after jeffrey epstein and attempt to bring justice to his alleged victims? >> look, i think that line did it, the low-lying fruit as misty mentioned prosecutorrary misconduct. if the federal law say that is

the witnesses need to know what happened in the case and they didn't follow that, they better have a very good reason why they didn't follow that. the power house team has included part of its client, others, that's a very serious legal team that basically had just as much resources as the federal government, and i think that's something that's going to be looked into in terms of what also the legal team had to do with creating pressure and witness intimidation potential witness intimidation and paying off witnesses to weaken the prosecutor's case, i think that's another aspect that we have to take a look at that might come into what the fallout might be, in addition to the other fallout, epstein has known a lot of people, we are talking celebrities, we are talking presidents, their families, the royal family, anybody who has been a witness to his misconduct is going to be potential witness in this particular case. arthel: so misty, if jeffrey epstein's money and his power

bought him a get out of jail free card, can anyone be held legally responsible retroactively? >> absolutely could be consequences, what we have right now is this dual path, the office of professional responsibility for the department of justice investigating the situation now, the repercussions from that respect that's just going to be identifying whether or not there was any misconduct because many of the players are no longer employees so really no teeth there but what's more interesting is public corruption's division is investigating this case, that tells me that there's something more to this investigation than just the sexual trafficking allegations, the conspiracy allegations, that usually goes to a person in position of public trust, so that could extend to prosecutors, that could extend to the state prosecutors, that could also extend to my misconduct by the defense legal team, it's going to be something when we find out

exactly what happened, my biggest issue with this is that violation of the victim's protection act as richard said, there's really very few excuses for that so i think we will see a lot of fallout on on that angle. arthel: thanks to both of you. >> thank you. >> thank you. >> new threats from iran as largest opposition group holds annual rally against the regime, what they said and what they want next.

>> famous african-american museum in louisiana has been discovered dead, the body of sady roberts joseph found on friday evening in the truck of a car parked in baton rogue, the exact cause of death has yet to be determined but police say they are, quote, bringing the person or persons responsible for this heinous act to justice.

ms. roberts joseph was also known for jump-starting the annual commemorates soldiers delivered president lincoln emancipation to texas. >> fox news has confirmed that iranian prime minister has arrived in new york city for talks of united nations this week, new calls for europe to follow president trump and tighten sanctions against tehran, this comes from largest iranian opposition group that's holding annual rally against the regime. this year they were gathered in albania. leader of largest opposition group, head of the national council of resistance of iran. he says recent attacks in oil tankers in persian gulf and shooting down of u.s. drone that the u.s. blamed on tehran,

exposed the weakness to have regime. >> faces explosive society and organized resistance movement and america which is not rushing to help it, critical moment as before. eric: the new economic sanctions slapped on iran by president trump have increased the financial pressure on the government and the only way to change iran's behavior is to reimpose united nations security council sanctions that before the nuclear deal had caught off billions in trade. critics say the u.s. abandoning the nuclear deal will only speed up tehran's pursuit of nuclear weapon but roger v. says the money only emboldens the regime. >> the sanctions in 2015 did not benefit the iranians, unfrozen assets were used for more -- eric: protests on the streets of washington and in europe and supports the countless

demonstrations that have taken place inside iran. that's where raja say it is future of her nation lies. >> the national community must recognize the right of the iranian resistance to tougher decisions. eric: iran considered the terrorist group, the followers have been executed for activism, meanwhile great britain is offering to give iran oil tanker back seized but only if iran can provide guaranties that it would not breach european sanctions, iran is demanding the tanker's immediate release, what does all this mean? director of thatcher center for freedom at the heritage foundation, growing tit for tat reflect that tehran is actually getting nervous? >> well, that's a very good point, eric, and i think with iranian regime you have an extremely aggressive reckless regime that is feeling the full

force of u.s. sanctions against it which are having devastating impact on the iranian economy, you know how the iranians lashing out trying to threaten oil tankers, just actually last week iranian vessels menaced a british oil tanker, british protecting the oil tanker to ward off the iranians or warned them of consequences of actions and we will see increasing amount of this kind of rattling from tehran in the coming months. it's very important that great britain and all american allies and europe stand up to regime in tehran, far too much appeasement of iran coming from the european union especially from the french and the germans, it's time for europe to wake up with regard to the reality of what we are dealing with in terms of the iranian regime which is the world's biggest state sponsored

of international terrorism, this iranian oil tanker seized off the coast of gibraltar, the tanker should not be returned to syria, this tanker was in clear of violation of european sanctions that have been put in place, with regard to shipments to syria, and britain should not cave in to pressure from brussels and berlin, british should stand firm and hopefully we will see great britain with new prime minister coming on july 24th changing position on iran and eventually shifting altogether from iran nuclear deal, jcpoa which is a disastrous agreement. eric: the very message is being heard in compound, the national council resistance of iran, rally being held at facility, and u.s. former u.s. officials, top officials from both sides of

the aisle are there and they are saying exactly what you just said, they are calling on european nations to stop dealing with iran, giving billions of dollars, many outspoken voices at the rally that's being held this weekend happens to come from new yorker new york city mayor and trump lawyer rudy giuliani, let's listen to what mr. giuliani told the group. >> when a french company or german company does business with them, that money, that is going to be used to kill people in syria or kill people someone else or send people to albania to kill us or to send people to france like they did last year to kill and us, that's what they are funding, don't you realize it? are you so blind that you don't realize you are funding

murderers? >> is this european blood money that they are willing to cut off or don't want to because it just pays too much? >> well, i think excellent points made by rudy giuliani, common sense on iran issue, i have to say that iran nuclear deal disagreement that was put together by the european union also by the obama administration together with the chinese and the russians and the iranians, this is a tremendous deal for iran's dictatorship, this is a deal that enables iran to enrich itself using western funds, a lot of the money is funneled into terrorist activity and this is extremely good deal for iran, it's a very bad deal actually for the united states and for the free world, i think this is a classic example of the appeasement mind set which dominates many parts of europe today especially the french and the germans, and this is an

agreement which i think is already in effect dead in the water with the u.s. withdrawal, it's time for the whole of europe to really understand the reality of the dangers posed by the iranian threat. we need to see the europeans joining the united states and imposing sanctions against iran. we need to confront iranian aggression in the strait of horm, z, we -- horm uks >> we need to weaken iran's capability acting as the world's biggest state sponsor of international terrorism, the united states is leading the free world, it's time for all of america's european allies to work together with the united states in implementing sanctions against iran. eric: you know supporters, bring iran back to the community of good will but we have seen none
