man who was killed. further their agenda, whatever agenda they have one people spray paint death to america and numerous other things weapons to hurt people, we are talking rocks, shield, these are not what minnesota's representative for. >> the violence has spread to other cities overnight in chicago, more than 1000 have gathered after the release of the body cam video showing the death of 13-year-old boy shot by police he was carrying a gun and tossed it, turned moment he was shot and killed. the protest turned violent and in oakland as well. people shattering glass windows and setting cars on fire will championing names of people who have been killed and conflicts with police. monday here at the start of closing arguments in the derek chauvin trial, there are real concerns it could spark another wave of violence, businesses

indianapolis. a family member of one of the victims said my family and our family should not feel unsafe at their place of worship or work or anywhere. enough is enough, repent community has been through enough trauma. for the gunman, he's known to law enforcement, his mother called police last march to report her son, might commit suicide by cop. he was questioned and a shotgun was seen from his home. authorities determined he didn't commit a crime nor reishi racial ideology. just over a year passed and now he's at the center of this mass shooting investigation. >> we have identified him recently so now the work begins trying to establish some of that and see if we can figure out emotive. >> he was found in a couple of police reports, that's all we have. one is from last year end one from i believe 2013 possibly

speed. >> the third mass shooting in indianapolis this year end one of the 45 mass shootings in the u.s. in the past month. >> never once did you think it would happen in your own backyard and when it does, it's a wake-up call. this is not far-fetched, this can happen. >> police are trying to figure out emotive and the latest deadly shooting rampage. they say the government appeared to randomly start shooting thursday night, details are now part of the ongoing investigation. arthel: thank you. eric: the search of my grandchildren is now rising, we are told, more than 400 new arrivals every day and a disturbing claim as border patrol agents say they are finding convicted child offenders among those coming in.

live in texas right next to the board there. rich. >> good afternoon and this is part of the busiest stretch of the busiest sector here on the southwest border. if you go up and down the bank, rio grande, mexico is behind us, down through the riverbank, you will find deflated graphs, discarded food wrappers, all signs of a migrant search happening here. 10 miles down, a similar site, we watched all week as border patrol apprehended migrants by the dozens, gave them water and brought them to customs and border protection for processing. border patrol agents say as busy as they've seen it here in decades and they say they expect the search can to continue but the overwhelmed system is compelling more to flood to the border. >> as long as we continue to release people into the united

states after they violate our laws with no consequences, people will continue to come. >> if we don't address root causes, we will continue to see influxes and large number of migrants coming to the border cycle after cycle like we have seen the past several years. >> they've apprehended nearly 500 unaccompanied children, a day down here with more than 20000 in u.s. government custody. most handled by the department of health and see human services. political reports top white house officials have grown stated with javier becerra over hhs sluggish effort to house thousands of unaccompanied children. hhs expanded mass of facility here nearby, what they are doing is housing them there, moving them to longer-term facilities or place them with family they may have in the united states. derek. eric: jen psaki mentioned root causes, we will have rebecca grant in a few moments.

if the administration's demand or wish for billions of dollars to go to central america and help stem the flow by arresting those. rich, thanks. arthel. arthel: of the white house may reverse course after pressure from the left, hours after getting major backlash from dems or signing a quarter that would keep america's refugee level. the biden administration announced it may now raise the kat. live in delaware with more. david. >> the president originally talked about capping somewhere around 62500, that was the original goal but an emergency determination of the white house yesterday, some allies close to the president for years are saying wait a minute, you promised you would raise the cap a little higher, the president in wilmington, delaware this weekend may not end up keeping

that cap at 15000 after quite a push back as i said not just from the usual suspects in the democratic party but from those mostly aligned with the president like illinois senator durbin who said the refugees wait years for the chance and go through extensive vetting, 35000 already, the greatest refugee crisis in our time, there's no reason to limit the number 215,000. dating so, president joe. >> he said in february he was going to lift the cap and i believe he needs to do that right now. >> after intense pushback from democrats, jen psaki yesterday put out a statement giving a guesstimated refugee admissions program we inherited and the office of refugee resettlement, the president's goal of 62500

seems unlikely. we can expect the president to set a final increase cap for the remainder of this fiscal year by may 15. earlier this year, the president pledged to increase numbers 2,125,000 refugees but that's in the next fiscal year, it appears that will not be met based on the issues of white house siding. mentioned today, we saw rich at the border talking about people coming to the border from south america and central american countries, refugee status is separate. when people come to the border, they come unannounced and claim asylum, refugees are vetted in their own country and then granted a go-ahead to come to the united states. those are the numbers we are talking about, 15000 divided administration announced yesterday but they hope to raise that number after severe pushback from inside the democratic party. arthel: thank you for clarifying that. eric. eric: there's new claims social media censorship again. the new york post says facebook,

an article about the $1.4 million house that was purchased, one of the founders of the black lives matter movement after a sports journalist accused twitter of censoring him for the same story. live in new york city on that controversy and more about the house. >> both facebook and twitter have blocked the story saying it goes against his policy online, stemming from the new york post releasing an article about recent real estate purchases of black lives matter movement founder, fought for homes, $3 million. jason said twitter temporarily blocked for writing about the demographics in the neighborhood of one of the homes. defending herself, said money she's has from the organization but multiple jobs like speaking events. she said online, it's an attempt

to get credit and harass her adding this is on top of these articles, it's also dangerous. this is daunting attacking someone online by getting private information about them. on thursday, twitter permanently banned the founder, james, he said he'll take action but it's not his only lawsuit. he's taking aim at the new york times were falling on stories deceptive and threatened to sue cnn the same reason. >> we are going to get discovery into twitter's operations, we can't afford to lose, we can't lose, we've never lost a lawsuit and we are going to prove malice and file a complaint monday. >> widely debated topic making its way to state legislation, utah governor vetoed a bill that limits social media censorship, and texas is an approved bill that would ban any social media

prime minister justin trudeau placed street restrictions on travel as cases sore in ontario. when we come back, members of britain's royal family joined queen elizabeth for one final tribute to her late husband of 73 years. philip. >> not everybody wants the same thingee.

vice president kamala harris said she's planning to go to mexico and guatemala soon to tackle migration from the northern triangle. you know those hunters have so many of the migrants, guatemala, el salvador and honduras. president biden gave the vp the job of the effort to slow the surge of migrants of the southern border a couple weeks ago vice president and president of guatemala spoke by phone. agree to work together to address the root causes of migration to our country. he part of that would be the u.s. plan to send billions of dollars to central america to try and make life better so migrants would want to stay home and not come here. will that work? national security and military analyst rebecca grant, president of independent research. doctor grant, this idea sending

money down across the border could make -- they address crime, the gangs, they address food and quality of life, with that be enough to try and slow down migration? >> we are talking about $4 billion in direct aid to these three northern triangle countries and the problem is that this is a very long-term solution if it works at all. the crisis, as we see is right here right now, a lot of it centers on mexico's response and as far as root causes, it the perfect storm. drugs, violence, who can blame them for wanting to come to the u.s.? we need bear in legal immigration and realize there are root causes here within u.s. policy as well. eric: when you talk about u.s. policy, what you think should change? the administration says they are sending a lot of adult back,

expelling them, certainly families know they could come in, asked for asylum and often not, especially younger children are sent to family members here. >> yes and i think that's part of what makes it so tragic right now. the president guatemala said compassionate messages from the biden administration are actually encouraging the coyotes, make money selling the ticket and encouraging people to start this terrible tragic difficult journey. what needs to change probably is our u.s. asylum policy it was supposed to be political asylum, back to the cold war, russian dissident and chinese granted asylum ten years ago, that kind of thing. asylum is not migrate and come north for a better life. right now policy is unclear in creating some of the problem. eric: yes, asylum is a politically -based and we look back at what you said, here is

the president of guatemala saying just that. listen. >> the biden administration, messages were confusing. compassionate messages by people in our country especially the coyotes. tell families we will take the children, the children can go in once they are there they will call him to. eric: the border is closed but that's not enough. >> the children have a little loophole because by law we can't leave him in the desert and we don't want to of course but the key is, even with the asylum cases that are adjudicated in the court, nine out of ten of the asylum cases are turned down by our courts so it is a false promise to come north for asylum in the biden administration must be clear on that. i think it's a big, vice president harris has in the

works, i think she could probably do more here at home trying to clarify the policy and work with congress on real immigration policy reform. eric: congress has allocated billions, let's look at some of the money. $3.6 billion has gone in the past five years and still continues. spend 4 billion to 2025, as you can see a 61 million this year alone, here's what the research center says about all this. limited information is available on how u.s. improved prosperity, governance and prosperity in the northern triangle. the usa just like a comprehensive evaluation plan, the project level assessment have found mixed results. u.s. assistance can contribute to improvements over the long term and as you know they say the results are mixed and no one can figure out sending billions

of dollars works and obviously it may not if they are still coming. >> i think sending the money is a little pie in the sky. part of the idea to make it safer there, honduras is 43 for 100,000, comparable to detroit or baltimore in a bad year but what it shows is yes we have, continue to work with them but this is not the solution. the solution in my mind, is in washington up to this administration to say don't come in the store out the asylum policy going forward. eric: to try and solve this here at home, the humanitarian crisis is continuing. good to see you. ♪♪ arthel: royal family saying dining final farewells to prince

philip. when attending her husband's funeral after 73 years of marriage. she said alone in the chapel due to coronavirus. many eyes on prince william and harry following ounce of tension. benjamin all has more. >> this is a ceremony choreographed by prince philip. almost a farewell from him to the nation rather than the other way around and went off with a hitch. the queen was seen wiping away tears as she is to mourn alone away from her family as she said goodbye to the man she described as her strength and her stay. a perfect balance between personal ceremonial, is enough for somebody who didn't want over him but respected by millions. he was covered and carried his sword. after the 50 minute service, the coffin was roiled lowered where he will remain.

they will be buried together. prince william went ahead of his younger brother, harry as mourners filed into the building without saying anything to one another. her son sang members of the long work princess diana's coffin. they walked back to the car, they were seen taking taking a step back to spend time alone, what they said was left between them, many hope is a chance that reconciliation. the queen turned 95 in a few days, already this week she's been working again, dozens approved on. keep calm and carry on. that's what we saw today. arthel: what a massive loss. thank you. prince philip, duke of asmara who died last week at the age of 99 now laid to rest.

a group of democrats introduced a bill that would expand the number of justices on supreme court from nine to 13. wilkins they it's court packing which democrats deny. either way, it's not the first time the total number of justices have changed. >> the united states supreme court building is one of the most imposing, a meeting place for the highest building of the land. >> since 1869, nine justices presides over the highest court in the land. currently, there is conservatives. amy coney barrett, brett kavanaugh, neil gorsuch, clarence thomas and john roberts. there are three liberals from elena kagan and stephen breyer but the bench hasn't always had a total of nine.

nowhere in the constitution doesn't say how many it should have. the first judiciary act of 1789 set the number at six but it's fluctuated five to as many as ten the last time the president changed it, 1937. when fdr introduced judicial reform bill that became known as his court packing plan seeking to add more justices to obtain favorable rulings regarding the new deal. the senate rejected it overwhelmingly. 1983, then senator joe biden, member of the judiciary committee had this to say about fdr's court packing plan. >> it was a boneheaded idea, a terrible mistake to make. >> during the campaign, he opposed it. >> i would not get into court packing. we have three justices, next time we lose control, they have three justices, you lose credibility the court has

little. >> two of the most liberal justices of the modern court share the opposition. the late ruth bader ginsburg and stephen breyer who's been on the bench 1994 but now president biden ordered a 36 person six months bipartisan commission to the expansion of the court. this week, a group of democrats introduced decision to increase the number of justices from nine to 13. how likely a change come to the court? the bar is high, 5050 split senate, 60 votes to pass. if the supreme court. >> the debate over the size of the supreme court rages on in washington, some call for justice stephen breyer, 82 years old to retire. should step down to make room for the courts first black woman to serve. here's more. >> 82-year-old supreme court justice stephen breyer slowed

down physically over the years, his colleagues say his mind is as sharp as ever but it didn't stop the freshman democratic congressman calling on breyer to retire to make this a question that justice breyer, for whom i have great respect should retire at the end of this term. my goodness, have we not learned our lesson? >> ted cruz offered a warning should democrats succeed in packing the court and raise the number of justices nine to 13. >> if they succeed packing the court, we would have a radical left-wing supreme court that would take away our fundamental right to free speech, right to religious liberty and second amendment. >> the last poll shows majority of americans trust the supreme court and approve of how they handle their job. not all democrats share that view. >> too many americans view our highest court in the land as a partisan political institution, not impartial judicial branch of

government. >> jason ask nancy pelosi how far she's willing to go to pack the court. >> do commit to bring it to the floor? >> no, i support the president's commission to study such a proposal but right now, our members committees are working, putting together infrastructure bill, i don't know it's a good idea or bad idea. >> pelosi said court packing is an idea that should be considered. eric: thanks so much. arthel: top democrats not fully on board with the changes to the supreme court as we saw. here to talk about now, white house correspondent editor at politico it's not just redshirt versus blue shirt, how complicated is this.

>> it's very complicated, it's about the democratic party, the party is split on what to do as we just heard. the bar is very high, the democrats and republicans at this time they don't even have the democrats, you heard the speaker said she would not push it through at least not right now and most important at this time, president biden has not indicated he's supportive as we just heard, he was not supportive of this idea in the past and he was not supportive of it during the campaign and so far what he's done as of this past week is put together this commission, he's given the commission six months so it's not something at the top of his list to deal with and there are progressives they, he's just doing commission to push it off, not make a decision for another six months. arthel: jerry nadler of new york is saying it's not court packing, he says it's unpacking the supreme court after former president trump put three justices on the court in his one

term, four years in office. might this persuade speaker pelosi to take up the issue now? >> it's interesting but let's remember president biden's impress are saying look, the shoe could be on the other foot later, they could end up in the same position as republicans right now so for years, eight years, 12 years down the road if they don't want to end up where republicans are and be on the losing end, they could end up that way so that's one thing they are looking at. this isn't just something that's executive order, something the next president can easily change, it's something congress would do, it could change not only the makeup of the supreme court but obviously the policies in america for generations to come. we forget supreme court is so prominent, is unlike something the president would just do an executive order so i don't know if that's a persuasive argument. i think the speaker is looking

for, to really get the commission to look at the history and pros and cons of doing this. eric: . arthel: so why nadler and company, why the pushing the issue now? is there something i'm not aware of? >> they are very well aware of what the speaker and president think. what they are doing is trying to push both of them to deal with this, to show the progressive side of the democratic party isn't going to let it go, they want to do this and talk about it, they want to push democrats, democratic leaders and they want to gather support around the country. there are some many people in the country that may not want to go round they are trying to do all that but remember, republicans are going to make it a midterm election issue. we've already seen it at least one conservative group running ads on this idea of expanding the supreme court said democrats are saying look, it's already out there, we got to fight back and talk about this, it's going

to be one for the next 18 months. arthel: about it doubt about that. you think democrats are listening to public opinion on this? >> i do think they are listening but i think the president is very busy with other things he does not want to make it a priority i don't think you're going to hear him talking about, there's a reason he made it six months, it's not something he wants to do right away, you heard the clip from the speaker saying we got the infrastructure bill, they definitely have other priorities, i think summer is going to come they'll talk about gun issues and immigration, this is not something i've heard democratic leadership for the white house talking about is top priority. arthel: talk about a full plate. we have to leave it at that. appreciate you talking to you. white house correspondent for political, associate editor, thank you. enter. eric: well spacex has some new

competition. returning humans to outer space from u.s. soil heating up. future of emissions to the moon and mars.

america is back on earth after six months of the air national space station, nasa astronaut kate rubins into russian astronauts landed safely today in kazakhstan, ruben spent hundreds of hours working on experiments like how to diagnose illness in space. headed back to houston and will speak at a news conference next week. eric: nasa plan to fly it's little ingenuity helicopter remotely over mars. it's been postponed. the 4-pound chopper now scheduled to make the flight monday to find the past the spin test, the rotors need to get spinning. another successful tesla, jeff bezos origin company, that brings the rocket named after alan shepard closer to one day sandy humans back to space. hernandez, president and ceo on both these.

flying a helicopter on mars, the first time besides planet earth humans will fly something on another planet. the pretty astounding. >> absolutely. it's very exciting because it's the very first time we are going to fly a fully controlled vehicle on another planet and it's going to allow us to demonstrate feasibility exploring another planet via air and it's going to be able to map out areas of interest future routes rovers so they can pass in a more efficient manner. eric: part of this as you mentioned, so we could fly robes further out a lot more capability to go larger

distances not just that planet but elsewhere. >> yes. the amazing thing is that mars only has 1% of the volume of atmosphere the planet has. it's partially offset by the fact that gravitational pull of mars is 35% of the earth but a little 4-pound helicopter, or feet wingspan and rotational speed of about 1200 rpm to get the lift capability on the planet. eric: one thing that's still historically meaningful is 1903, the fire the first time man had a machine to fight in the air and there's a little piece of fabric from that airplane. i guess they cut out at the smithsonian or something. that is so special.

>> yes, they cut out of the wing of the plane and put it on the rover itself but the second speed test that happened yesterday which was also coincidentally the birthday of will right, coincident that the got the green light to do the flight this coming week. eric: it's amazing. jeff bezos and amazon, the house if you call him up, they're going up to outer space, a successful plate. tell me about that. >> yes, a reusable rocket and reusable capsule, the whole vehicle is reusable, able to take off vertically and of course when they land separately, it's like the 15th

demonstration flight they've done, i think they are getting very close to putting humans into flight, initially they would do lights and missions for nasa and universities but i've got a feeling what they are doing is intercontinental base travel system that allows them to go into orbit, wait until the earth rotates land on a different continent cutting travel from one continent to another by like 12 hours, maybe a couple hours so 20 change transportation is done in the future. eric: that is amazing. what a great concept because it freaky to see land on the launching pad. the u.s. to japan in two minutes, we'll see what happens, great idea. form a nasa astronaut, josé,

benning and spend the night navigating place to place too much of what you see here on the map so they are going to be tested thickly, mentally and emotionally. >> you're using a lot of energy is physical energy and as a human, it takes a toll, limited food in your system depending on the food, the sleep you got that night and that will continue. >> you can see the teams over here relaxing, this is as much rest as they are going to get the rest of the day this is important for them because they'll be moving around the woods until about 4:30 a.m. sunday and this will be really important for a lot of the teams you see because it's going to make or break them decide whether they move on to tomorrow's competitions. arthel: it seems fascinating from this end, is there anything

in particular that made you have more appreciation for what it is they do? >> the fact that they were able to be up at 4:30 a.m. and outgoing obstacle courses, these guys were running through, under bob wires, climbing through ropes, everything i've seen has been absolutely amazing and i said plenty of times, i certainly would not be the best because i cannot keep up.
