arthel: disturbing new images showing migrants packed into small spaces and cargo areas on trains, these are the dangerous risks more are taking to try to illegally cross the southern border many welcome to "fox news live." i'm arthel neville. hello, eric and happy father's day. eric: thank you, arthel. hello, everyone. happy father's day to all the dads out there. i'm eric shawn. thanks for joining us on "fox news live." these new disturbing images come as law enforcement officials discovered the bodies of several migrants lying in the remote part of the desert near the
9:01 am
border, as you know, temperatures in the southwest have been soaring into the triple digits. it is dangerous and a hazardous preview of what the unfor giving desert summer can bring. we have a live report from the border in la jolla, texas. we may see an increasing death toll, sadly. >> reporter: eric, good morning to you. that's what border agents on the ground are tellings us to expect as we head into the summer months and as the surge continues we're really starting to see the length some of these migrants are willing to go, not just to get to the united states but stay in the united states and how ruthless some of the human smugglers are. take a look at this, this was in texas, this tuesday. horrible images of 15 migrants who had been locked inside of a train by human smugglers. they had apparently all been locked inside of grain hoppers. border patrol and texas state troopers had to rescue them.
9:02 am
they say it was 110 degrees inside the train at the time of their rescue. five of the migrants were suffering from heat stroke and had to be hospitalized. thankfully, agents got to them in time and were able to rescue them. this is becoming more common. take a look at this set of photos. this is when border patrol rescued 52 migrants also on a moving train. that included young children. you can see they cram in anywhere they can to remain out of sight. some tiny compartments in this blazing texas heat. as you look at video out of vera cruz, mexico. experts are telling us this is more common. for years, mexicans have used the trains to move around the country, move up to the border, they'll hop on, get inside them. what we're starting to see is migrants will use them once they're in the united states to try to get deeper into the united states, incredibly dangerous with this heat. to that point, as you look at video out of sun land park, new mexico, blazing hot as we head
9:03 am
into late june, police reporting they they found six migrant bodies in a span of three weeks. and they say they're having to make rescues every single day. take a listen. >> five and 10 a day is just what we're seeing. that's not what we're not able to catch. >> a lot of times these guys come with a bottle of water in their pocket and that's it. >> reporter: and as we've been talking with border agents on the ground in the rio grande valley, we asked them do you guys believe this surge is going to slow down as we get into the hotter months of july and august. they've been telling us no, they do not expect it to slow down. however, tragically, we do expect to find more bodies out there. we'll send it back to you. eric: so sad and a shocking. by the way, i reported from sunland park, even though there's a fence, there's a whole stretch where you can lit l rally if you want -- literally if you want put one foot on one side of the border, and the other foot at the other side of the border, people coming from
9:04 am
the river from mexico, they keep dragging their floaties right on out. arthel. arthel: new york city's mayoral primary two days away. and the city's surging crime rate is a key issue. one candidate digging into his own pocket to offer a $2,000 reward after a gunman shot at someone on a sidewalk in broad daylight with two young children in between them. aishah hasnie is live in new york city with more. aishah. >> reporter: hey, arthel. well, right now early voting is underway. go ahead and take a look. this is here in manhattan. new york city has a lot of issues but crime as you said is at the forefront for a lot ott voters as they choose their mayoral nominees here's a look at who is vying to lead new york city next. it's heavy on the democrats because this is such a blue town and that's also why many believe the mayor will really be chosen
9:05 am
on primary day come tuesday and new yorkers want to know who will be able to tackle this. nearly every single crime category is up across the city, the overall crime index for may, 22% higher than last may. you'll remember, the city defunded the police by $1 billion last summer. nypd retirements are through the roof. and all the rioting and looting last year, you'll recall that, apparently nearly half of those cases were dropped by the da. local nbc reporting out of the 485 people that were arrested in manhattan alone, 222 cases were dismissed and others got a lesser charge with no jail time or the cases remain open. now, right now former nypd captain and brooklyn borough president eric adams is among the top tier of the candidates. early favorite andrew yang has fallen behind by a little and yesterday adam took a shot at
9:06 am
yang and another top contender, catherine garcia, campaigning together. >> they want to come together as a unit. i think it really shows that katherine will do whatever she believes she needs to do to win and new york is going to see right through that. >> reporter: and arthel, there could be a delay in finding out who the mayoral nominees are on this primary day and that's because for the first time, new yorkers are going to get to pick their top five choices. called rank choice voting. so we may not find out who the nominees are for some weeks. we'll have to see. arthel. arthel: it is dramatic indeed. aishah hasnie reporting from new york city. thanks, aishah. eric. eric: arthel, 12 people have been killed in several storm related tragedy as claudette
9:07 am
sweeps across the south. nine children were killed in a car crash when vehicles hydroplaned on a slip slippery interstate. a tornado tore through a small town in southern alabama. jonathan sharey is live in alabama where a lot of this wicked weather occurred. hey, jonathan. >> reporter: hi there, eric. as residents sift through the debris, they're expressing a combination of gratitude and disbelief that no one in this immediate neighborhood was killed in what appears to be a tornado that touched down. over here you can see the remnants of the mobile homes, some of them completely shattered, blown off of their foundations here. authorities say a tornado touched down in this neighborhood around 7:30 a.m. saturday. they say three people were taken to the hospital but so far they report no fatalities. storm sur s vivers say they're
9:08 am
-- survivors say they're thankful to be alive. >> just woop and it was gone. >> it lasted for about 10 seconds. i've never been in a tornado. never want to go through another one like that. never in my life. >> reporter: on the alabama coast, another suspected tornado damaged the cedar points fishing pier. heavy winds blew a 2x4 into the sides of a van, injuring a homeless man inside. >> next thing i know, i hear glass shattering all over the place. >> reporter: coming back to the live shot, you can see the axles from a mobile home that were blown on top of the roof of one of these houses, which also suffered heavy damage in the tornado. again, no one in this immediate area died.
9:09 am
unfortunately, that's not the case in other parts of alabama. there are reports just outside tuscaloosa, a tree fell on a home, killing a 24-year-old man and 3-year-old child inside and the accident you mentioned, 10 people killed, nine of them children, that's because most of the victims were riding in a girls ranch vehicle involved in that crash. the charitable organization expressing great sadness as to what happened there. eric, back to you. eric: jonathan, thank you. arthel. arthel: all right, eric. lawmakers today weighing in on the latest attempt at a bipartisan compromise on president biden's massive infrastructure spending bill and senator bernie sanders speaking out on a separate $6 trillion package, some democrats may push to approve without republican support. rich edson is live in wilmington, delaware where president biden is spending the
9:10 am
weekend. rich. >> reporter: good afternoon, arthel. and the white house says when president biden returns to washington soon, he will resume those negotiations with democrats and republicans on an infrastructure proposal. there is a bipartisan group of senators who are working on a compromise version, about a trillion dollars in infrastructure spend sing. senator joe manchin is part of that. he says the group will release its framework by wednesday, the latest. as republicans say a deal is ready to go if the white house is willing. >> president biden, if you want an infrastructure deal of a trillion dollars, it's there for the taking. you just need to get involved and lead. >> reporter: so republicans are negotiating with democrats, democrats are negotiating also with themselves. progressives say this $1 trillion plan falls well short of what they're trying to do. they're also discussing potentially $6 trillion as either an addition to that $1 trillion proposal or just passing it all as a whole.
9:11 am
they say they need to address their priorities. >> the vast majority of democrats understand that you cannot go forward without addressing the crises facing the planet and working people. whether you can heal it with two, we will see. >> reporter: that strategy involves going it alone for democrats. they would need all 50 of their senators on board to do so in a process called budget reconciliation, lets them bypass the filibuster. they would need support in the house to get it to the president's desk. arthel. arthel: thank you very much. eric: have you heard about this? the entire portland oregon police riot squad they up and quit last week after a colleague was indicted for alleged actions during one of the protests that they saw and the violent protests that occurred last year. next, the head of portland's police union is here with a message that this sends to

so... i know you and george were struggling with the possibility of having to move. how's that going? well... we found a way to make bathing safer with a kohler walk-in bath. it has the lowest step-in of any bath. it has handrails, a wide door, and textured surfaces.
9:15 am
so it gives you peace of mind. and you would love the heated backrest - and the whirlpool jets - and the bubblemassage. and, it was installed quickly and conveniently by a kohler-certified installer. a kohler- authorized dealer walked us through every step in the process and made us feel completely comfortable in our home. and, yes, it's affordable. looking good, george! we just want to spend as much time as possible, in our home and with our grandkids. they're going to be here any minute for our weekly spa day. ooh, that bubblemassage! have fun! stay in the home and life you've built for years to come. call 1-800-986-5068 to receive one-thousand dollars off your kohler walk-in bath. and take advantage of our special offer of no payments for eighteen months. arthel: the florida congresswoman, debbie wasserman schultz, said she is deeply shaken after a pickup truck ran over two people and barely
9:16 am
missed her, it happened at a pride parade in fort lauderdale yesterday. one of those people was killed, the other seriously injured. the driver was reportedly waiting to join the parade and a told police his foot accidentally got stuck between the gas and the brakes. wasserman schultz was sitting in a convertible nearby. police are investigating. they have stuff thrown at them. they have urine thrown at them. they're subjected to molotov cocktails. for the past year and-a-half, and even before that, they've been willing to stand up and be subjected to that. the system right now has let them down. eric: he's referring to the portland, oregon police riot squad officially known as the rapid response team. and guess what, all of the team, all 50 of the officers they quit from the prestigious team last week. they said they did that to protest the indictment of one of their members on assault charge
9:17 am
for you allegedly assaulting a photographer while trying to break up the riots last year. the portland police association says the decorated officer who was charged was caught between an you agenda driven city leaders and politicized criminal justice system. darryl turner joins us now, executive director of the portland police association. the officers remain on the force. they quit the squad. but what message does their resignation send? >> well, so they resigned from a voluntary position and that message -- this message is not just about our officer being indicted. we sent a letter to the city of portland, because we represent the rapid response team members, we sent a letter in october stating all the issues and problems and concerns that they had, based on what happened over 150 days.
9:18 am
we had 150 plus days of unprecedented sustained violence in the city of portland. our rapid response team along with others from the police bureau, came out every night, stood the line with molotov cocktails, urine, feces, rocks, bottles, everything thrown at them, with their home addresses being shouted out over loud speakers, we had a murder during the riots, we had multiple assaults during the riots and multiple assaults of police officers during the same riots. the same district attorney who indicted our officer declined 80% of the crimes committed during those riots by people, 80% of the people who were charged who were arrested by portland police during the riots, 80% were declined by the da's office. eric: wow. do you think that city officials in portland have your backs? >> no, they do not. night after night, we were
9:19 am
criticized by everyone, our elected officials from the da's office through some of our city council members who are supposed to look at us as a subject matter experts and obviously hope that we were doing the right thing and depend that we're doing the right thing but definitely supposed to support what we're doing out there when we're doing the right thing. that's not what happened. they encouraged and enabled some of the violence that was going on during those 150 plus nights and days. eric: one woman has been critical of the response team. she said we should expect our police force to act in a way we can stand by but when they don't we need to have accountability systems in place. i remain deeply concerned about the resignations, but another example of a rogue paramilitary organization that is unaccountable to elected
9:20 am
officials and residents of portland. the gold old boy network is crumbling and we can either be part of the change or part of the status quo. is it a rogue military squad? is it a gold old boy network that's crumbling, according to her? >> she does not run the police bureau. she's the mayor who is the police commissioner. she has been a critic of the police not since she has been a commissioner, but far beyond that. she led the charge last summer to defund the police, she led the charge for the gun violence reduction team. over 65% of the people who are being shot in the city of portland are african-american. over 70% counting those 65% are people of color. so commissioner hardisy is at the forefront of the defunding of police. violent crime has gone up and now she's criticizing a team that is still going to do their
9:21 am
job. if there's a protest tomorrow, they'll be ordered to do the same job. they won't be a voluntary squad. the expertise will still be used in those situations, and those events. eric: the big question is can law enforcement deal with this. here's deputy chief chris davis on that. >> we will make sure that we have as close to adequate resources as we can get within just the limits we have to deal with anything that comes up with on duty resources. eric: mr. turner, finally, what would you like to see? >> finally, what i'd like to see is the residents and the business owners of the city of portland have a hopeless feeling right now, what's gone on. we're understaffed. have been. we have been defunded. our divisions that have been successful in doing what they've done have been disbanded. and the rapid response team decides to voluntarily resign from those voluntary positions.
9:22 am
they'll still do the same job, they'll be ordered to do the same job. our district attorney's continuing not to prosecute cases of crimes being committed during the riots. and the main thing is the city council refuses to allow us to have body camera which would show the whole event. the officer that was indicted, that's a snapshot of the evidence evented. we're one of the largest cities in the country whose police agency don't have body cameras. it's not a budgetary issue. we don't have a brutal police force. there's not police brutality going on during the events. they want to have their false narrative and self-serving agendas. that's what's hurting our city, hurting our organization and that's why the rapid response team, one of the reasons of many why they stepped down. eric: the people of portland
9:23 am
and america should be able to see that footage but as you say it's being blocked. darryl turner, executive director of the portland police association, mr. turner, thank you. >> thank you. eric: arthel. arthel: thank you. well, the supreme court handing religious groups a major victory in one of the final decisions of the current term. the ruling and its impact, up next.

>> we were able to forge a path that not only was better for the state of florida, but i can tell you if florida had not done what we did, many other states would not have followed and we could still be in lockdown in this country right now. you just look at canada, you look at some of these other places. so ultimately, florida chose freedom over fauciism. eric: that's florida governor ron de santis talking about the coronavirus pandemic, he was giving an address at a convention in his state, celebrating a legal victory after a federal judge ruled in favor of the state against the centers for disease control over guidelines for the cruise ship industry. we know how important the cruise ship industry is to florida.
9:29 am
david spunt following all this in washington. hi, david. >> reporter: hi, eric. governor de santis made news about a year ago, he was the first in the nation really to go ahead and say we're going to open things up. we're going to be relaxing some mask mandates. of course, if you wanted to wear a mask in florida, you were allowed to do so. the governor decided that he was going to take charge and take a risk and he ultimately said the risk paid off. he wanted to get elderly vaccinated sooner than in other specific states, bucking the trend of what you would see in specifically other states. now, governor de santis is known to be at least considered a frontrunner in the 2024 presidential republican nomination for president. others at that faith and freedom conference in orlando watched him over the weekend, well comed -- we comed the -- welcomed the crowd to what he called the freest state in the nation. the governor said the cdc had too many tight controls on the
9:30 am
cruise ship industry. governor de santis took it to court to make sure more ships set sail from florida. >> we won the case against the cdc. we're opening the cruise lines. [cheers and applause] >> we are going to do whatever we can to pry open every last inch of this country and make sure every single industry is able to be open and to thrive. >> reporter: a federal judge, steven maraday, ruled the cdc did not have the authority to impose restrictionses on cruises. they did put out strict guidance against being able to take cruises but the judge ruled the guidance is considered nonbinding, a recommendation or merely a guideline. eric, cruise ships stopped sailing from the united states and into the united states in march 2020. things are going to start picking up here in the next few weeks, a welcome sight for the
9:31 am
industry. a celebrity cruise in the carribean, had nothing to do with the united states, everybody was vaccinated on the ship, still two people came down with covid-19. eric. eric: wow. all right, david. thank you. arthel. arthel: well, the supreme court ruling in favor of a philadelphia catholic adoption agency that does not approve adoptions for same sex foster parents. the attorney who won the case is among those calling the unanimous decision a major victory for religious freedom. >> i think this is a huge win for religious social service providers across the nation. what the supreme court said is hey, they have been doing great work for decades a, centuries in some cases and that more kids have homes when they're able to keep that great work up and so cities shouldn't go around trying to shut them down because they don't like their religious beliefs and practices regarding marriage. such a strong statement in favor of the first amendment and religious freedom. arthel: let's bring in george
9:32 am
watson, jonathan khurley, a fox contributor. give us the cliff notes explaining the supreme court's ruling and what does that mean in the real world? >> well, it means a great deal in the world that affects most of the viewers because there are an increasing number of conflicts between anti-discrimination laws on the city and state level and both free exercise of religion and free speech. here you have unanimous decision of the court that is saying that we want to see accommodation. we want to see cities and states find ways to accommodate religious values, rather than simply declare you in violation and here the court said you make exceptions for other types of groups, there are other areas or other institutions you can go to for adoptions instead of just declaring all the catholic charities to be in violation. you need to make some exception.
9:33 am
you need to make some accommodation. that's going to extend beyond this case. and it could extend to the renewal of litigation over what's called the masterpiece cake shop case. if you recall, that was the case involving the baker who went all the way to the supreme court because he objected to making certain cakes that violates his religious views. well, after he won a narrow victory, before the supreme court, a number of activists tried to create a new line of litigation, asking him to make new cakes. and that has already resulted now in a new case. but they may regret that because that occurred before this decision. he could well take a narrow victory and make it into a very broad one. arthel: so the constant in all of this is the lgbtq community. so what's their recourse? you do have people who want to be foster parents, who want to
9:34 am
become actual parents, who want to adopt, who want to go buy cakes, who want to buy flowers, who want to have parties and everything that everyone else wants to do, so how does that turn out in the end for them? >> well, i think that what you're going to see if this case is any indication is that we have to try to find a balancing on both he free exercise and free speech. for example, there could be lots of bakers that have objections to lots of cakes. you could have a jewish baker who is asked to make an anti-semetic cake or an african-american baker who is asked to make a racist cake. they will be objecting and we have to find some accommodation. and i think that's what a the court is sort of trying to find that middle ground on. arthel: i mean, listen, in terms of businesses, private businesses, they have a right to do what they want to do, serve who they want to serve. but then when you start looking at the religious aspect of it, of course there's separation of
9:35 am
church and state so you start to -- i don't know how that fine line is not blurred or if there is a proper line of demarcation. that's what i'm trying to understand. you know, because religious -- we've got a lot of -- pardon me. it's an afterthought. there's so many religious organizations that could say no to a lot of people for a lot of reasons. >> yeah, that's right. that is a fair concern. and in a city like philadelphia, you're absolutely right, we want to make sure that these lgbt families are protected, that they have access to services. what the supreme court said is there are an array of different groups that help with adoptions, that are not all exclusive with regards to these types of religious values and the court is saying you can tolerate having some institutions that are more limited and i think the court is saying that there's a workable solution here and also the big issue here is also with
9:36 am
catholic charities, they present an enormous amount of charitable programs and if you force them to violate the religious values, they'll shut down those programs because they're not going to violate their religious values. so the court's trying to get everyone here to try to find a middle ground. arthel: right. if you are part of the catholic charities organizations, you donate to them, you want your -- you uphold -- you're in sync with their values, you don't want your values sort of dismissed at the same time. so i get it. let's go to texas. the supreme court of the united states is in big trouble in texas for upholding obamacare, deciding that the affordable care act is constitutional. as you know, this is the third time the gop tried to get obamacare overturned. why are they upset? and will they try again? >> well, quite frankly i think a that they need to step back a bit about this case.
9:37 am
when justice barrett came for confirmation the democrats surrounded her with giant pictures of people who would lose their healthcare because they said she was put on the court specifically to vote in this case and to strike down the aca a. some of us went on the air and said look, that's just not true, this case is exceptionally unlikely to overturn the aca. it was a very technical case dealing with severability, there was a standing issue and some of us said it's almost -- i mean, it's not within the realm of any likelihood that they would strike down the aca in this case. arthel: let me jump in. we've got 20 seconds. there's the other side of this the particular coin and that is, yeah, justice barrett was -- she was nominated nine days before the election where you had merrick garland who was he refused nine months in advance, and that was president obama's nominee and now minority leader
9:38 am
mcconnell is now saying, yeah, not going to let any of president biden's nominees get through if i can help it. so what do you make of that whole idea? because everybody's pointing fingers that you're trying to stack the court, no, you're trying to stack the court, no, you're trying to block me. what do you think of that? >> i thought that merrick garland should have gotten the vote. i disagree with those who say that not giving a vote to a nominee like garland was unconstitutional or some democrats have said that itself is court packing. neither of that is true. the senate can decline to hold a vote. and that is what happened and that could happen again. but it is constitutional. arthel: it's political too though. >> bad form. it is political, absolutely. and what mcconnell is saying that is the democrats were in this position, they would be doing the same exact thing. arthel: all right. i'm catholic and i love everybody. doesn't matter who they love. so there you go.

the newscast. meanwhile, president biden as you know sat down with vladimir putin last week and told him hands off, we are told, on cyber attacks and election interference and that you putin must uphold human rights. there are growing concerns over ukraine. the administration held back a $100 million security assistance package for the country that would include lethal weapons. the shipments initially in response to russian troops massing their ukraine's eastern border earlier this year, but then dropped as forces pulled back. so did putin get the message, dan hoffman joins us, a former station chief who served in moscow, iraq and pakistan, also a fox news contributor. you know pew ton's brain -- putin's brain very well. do you think we can stop the bear to try to keep on gob linkg up parts of the ukraine.

>> when putin massed 100,000 troops on the border, that induced president biden to suggest a summit, as well as russia's attacks on our critical infrastructure. then the united states had an opportunity to demonstrate that we had some skin in the game. viewers will recall that we canceled the deployment of two war ships which had planned to transit on the way to the black sea to demonstrate our support for ukraine, that was after russian protests and then when putin agreed to withdraw some of those troops, just about 20,000 reportedly but keep the remainder there in preparation for russia's military exercises, the united states decided to withdraw that assistance package. that plays into vladimir putin's hands. eric: your sense is it plays into putin's hands, it's not a show of strength or tactical advantage by us. >> i think this was vladimir

putin checkmating us. what russia has done repeatedly, going back to soviet days, their military strategy encompassed something called reflexive control where russians will feed us information or deploy troops with an eye towards having their adversary take action voluntarily. we withdrew assistance in return for russia with drawing a fifth of the troops that had been deployed. so vladimir putin makes it very clear that ukraine is in russia's sphere of influence, that russia is not in putin's words a party to the conflict but just an interested observer and one that should be involved in whatever decision making takes place to find a diplomatic solution and so putin knows that what would of turn the tide countering russia's violations of ukraine's territory integrity

by anexing crimea is western assistance. there will be a cap on that because of the latest demonstration of russian effective strategy. eric: national security advisor jake sullivan was defending the administration's response to that earlier today. take a listen. >> it was created when there was tens of thousands of russian troops massed on ukraine's border. when the troops pulled back and didn't go into ukraine, we've held that package in reserve in the event it may become necessary in the future. so it is there and the russians know it's there and the ukrainians know it's there but the idea that we withheld any security assistance from ukraine is simply nonsense. eric: so dan, what would you have done? >> well, certainly i have a high degree in confidence vladimir putin had no plan to invade ukraine with all those troops, that would have really resulted in massive blood-letting on both

sides of the border. but vladimir putin got what he wanted. he got the united states to back down. and he still holds crimea and he is still providing assistance to separateists. kurt volker said as such. we need to increase the level of support we provide to ukraine, enable them to develop relationships with nato and the europe union, increase assistance so they can better defend themselves. that's what vladimir putin is seeking to deny us. eric: and dan, finally, 30 seconds left. there are concerns and reports from axios that the administration wants to try to cement the iranian new clear deal before hard line elected new iranian president raisi takes office. what's your sense of that? this guys been called a mass

murderer. do you think they're trying to beat the clock. >> we sanctioned him for good reason because of the human rights violations and responsibility for killing protesters decades ago. i think the timetable ought to be getting the right deal which addresses iran's nuclear cape act, their ballistic miss aisle program and state sponsorship of terrorism. i don't think we should base it on any false timetable about the next not so duly elected representative of iran. eric: all right dan, dan hoffman, thank you for your analysis and service to our country as always. dan, thank you. arthel: all right, dan and eric. guess what, happy father's day to everyone. go out and enjoy your sunday and come back inside or check us on the radio because we're back at 4:00 p.m. eastern. happy father's day, everyone. alright, guys, no insurance talk on beach day. -i'm down. -yes, please.
