christina coleman live in los angeles with the new, disturbing details on the fentanyl surge here in our country. >> reporter: hi, eric. today some parents here in california who lost their children to fentanyl poisoning are warning families about record-breaking seizures in arizona. just yesterday the area's cbp port director shared these photos. he says cbp officers found prime ministerially 19,800 -- approximately 19,800 pills taped to the leg of a pedestrian this year, also about 46,200 -- 446,200 pills hidden in a vehicle at the point of entry. i spoke with amy neville, the president of the alexander neville foundation. her group has traveled all over the country to educate families about the devastating and deadly consequences of this drug. she has dedicated her life to this cause since she lost her only son, you see him there, young alex, to fentanyl poisoning back in june of 2020.

>> alex was just a very amazing, charming, bright kid, and i feel, you know, obviously my life is darker without him. but, you know, he should have had, he should have had his future. >> reporter: amy neville is speaking at a fentanyl a awareness concert today to bring attention to this crisis as cbp officers continue to share images of fentanyl found hidden in cars and strapped to the bodies of people trying to get past the border. >> it's absolutely terrifying, and it's so unreal sometimes when you see them strapped to people's bodies. how is that person even still alive with that much exposure around them? that part always blows my mind. but, and it's it's the indicative of how much is actually coming in.

so this is what they're catching. what aren't they catching? >> reporter: well, as for what they are catching, the dea says agents seized more than 50.6 million fentanyl pills and more than 10,000 pounds of fentanyl powder nationwide last year alone, and more than half of that was seized in the border state of arizona. >> the heart of problem is right here in arizona. if we are the first line of defense. it is devastating, destructive, poisonous and deadly. >> reporter: that dea special agent in charge says most of fentanyl pills are produced by two cartels including one that uses arizona as their main point of entry to get into this country. eric? eric: all right, christina, thank you. arthel? arthel: well, eric and christina, the ongoing humanitarian crisis at the southern border e extends beyond just texas and arizona. florida governor ron desantis has activated the national guard to help with what he's calling an alarming surge of migrants

landing in the florida keys, most of them coming from cuba or other caribbean countries. charles watson is live in our southeast bureau with more on this. >> reporter: hey, good afternoon. florida governor ron desantis has signed a new executive order that calls on the florida national guard, law enforcement and other state agencies to jump in and help with the stream of migrants who continue to show up along florida's. the state says it will now use air assets including planes and helicopters from the florida national guard and increase marine patrols to try to help intercept and insure the safety of migrants who are attempting to reach florida. in his announcement, governor de. sanities didn't mix words as he blasted president biden and his, quote-unquote, lawless immigration policies. the governor saying in part, quote: i am activating the national guard and directing state resources to help alleviate the strain on local resources when biden continues to ignore his legal

responsibilities, we will step in to support our communities. the current wave of illegal cuban migration to the u.s. is the largest it's been in decades, since august the governor says state, federal and local law enforcement have encountered more than 8,000 migrants off the coast of florida. most are fleeing from caribbean nations like haiti and nicaragua, but it's the cuban migrants in particular who are desperate, willing to risk their lives in the open ocean to escape their country's communist government and the terrible economy. >> translator: several days of desperation hiking that something would happen. thank god it turned out well. the attention was really good. everything was really good. we have nothing to complain about. over there we did have plenty to complain about. >> reporter: yeah. and since new year's weekend, hundreds of cubans have arrived in boats up and down the florida keys. the national guard rescued more than 300 who were stranded in

the dry tortugas, a remote and uninhibited island west of the keys. they were transferred to a border station on key west on thursday, it's certainly overwhelming local communities who have become responsible for taking these folks in and caring for them. and officials say the resources just aren't there. what they're hoping for now is that the white house's new policy that will limit the number of migrants from nicaragua, cuba and haiti will help with the problem but, of course, it is that is something we will have to wait and see. back to you. arthel: yes. and we will keep reporting on the situation. charles watson, thank you very much. eric. eric: arthel, el paso is ready to prepare for the president tomorrow, that's when he makes his first visit to the border since he's been the president of the united states. and it come as the biden administration is rolling out some new restrictions aimed at curbing the unprecedented number of migrants illegally entering the u.s. every day. and the calls from critics of the president that he finally

see problems there for himself. lucas tomlinson live at the white house with what we can expect prosecute president's visit. hey, lucas. >> reporter: hey, eric. president biden has a never been to the southern border as president, he's never been as a vice president either. last month he said he wasn't interested. if. >> reporter: why go to a border state and not visit the border? >> because there are more important things going on. >> reporter: ahead of his trip to el paso and the border tomorrow, president biden outlined new plans at the white house to crack down on migrants crossing the border illegally. new parole program would block migrants from four countries from crossing the border without proper documentation, something they will have to apply for. up to 30,000 per month from from those four countries will be given a chance to come to the u.s. legally, expanding those asylum restrictions has drawn ire from human rights groups and even from some from his own party. here's new jersey senator bob menendez. quote: their decision to create

an unlawful transit base erases the words etched on the statue of liberty. the aclu, quote: to the poisonous anti-immigrant policies of the trump era, there are similarly no reasons why it must be conditioned on the expansion of dangerous expulsions. here's one mayor from a texas border town on the president's visit tomorrow. >> every border, i think, is susceptible to being overwhelmed by migrants, so being that we're underserved, we have this situation here that further impacts us. >> reporter: now, following the president's trip to the border tomorrow in el paso, he goes on to mexico city monday where he meets the leaders from canada and mexico. it's the first time a u.s. president has gone to mexico in nearly a decade. eric: and we'll be covering the president's trip the, arthel and i, live here on the fox news channel when he goes to el paso. lucas, thank you. arthel? arthel: yes, we will. as lucas was just reporting,

local leaders in texas a have claimed for years that the migrant crisis is overwhelming their towns and communities. that includes rio grande city where the border patrol there arrested a man accused of smuggling migrants from the if grounds of a hospital. just this week. joining us now is joel see real, the mayor of rio grande city. mayor, or thanks again for joining us, always love to have you. if you could personally take president biden on a tour while he's at border, what would you show him and what would you tell him about what he's seeing? >> good afternoon and thank you for having me on. and, by the way, thank you to all the brave men and women of cbp who preserve, protect and defend our boards 24/7, and they do a phenomenal job. and we must support them at every level. now, going back to your point, first of all, leadership 101 dictates that you simply show up to the crisis whether you're the mayor, the governor or the

president of the united states of america. you know, at this point, absolutely, if we had that a opportunity to take the president by the hand, absolutely absolutely we'd take him to multiple facilities. this is what happens. we've had numerous delegations of members of congress who have come and visited -- arthel: right. mayor, if i can, if i can just -- because you have so much to say, and i love hearing you -- [laughter] but i just want to specifically ask what is it that you want president biden to see and what do you want to tell him about what he's seeing? >> bottom line is the humanity, and we have to address -- and i've said this before, we have to carefully manage the balance between immigration and border security. the fact is that, yes, we are a country of immigrants. but at the same time, we need to exercise caution against global enemies exploit ploiting our broken immigration system to inflict pain on america. so we need to see both sides, and president biden has the phenomenal opportunity to forge

a distinguished legacy as a champion for both immigration and border security. two concepts of which are not mutually exclusive. they can coexist. so i know he's aware because he sees video, i know that. but at this point we need to get away from the same song and dance that we've been playing for the last 30 years -- arthel: sure. >> for over three decades. arthel: right. mayor -- >> [inaudible] go ahead. arthel: yeah, yeah. mayor, so listen, as we know, mexico is the gateway for illegal crossings and illegal and deadly drugs. when president biden meets privately with the mexican president monday, what should our potus demand of lopez obrador, and what deals should he make with him? >> you know, mexico and the u.s. have a symbiotic relationship and, unfortunately, drugs flow north and money nows south. and guns, by the way, flow south as well. so we need to take the onus too, as far as the u.s., in

addressing any type of weapons going into mexico and vice versa. because mexico does have a legitimate concern as far as weapons going into mexico and vice versa as far as the drugs flow north, and they have been for decades. we need to work with them. and what you do is, bottom line, say, hey, we need to sit down and hold them responsible for having this issue as far as drugs. and, unfortunately, as you've seen and reported before, there's not a single community in america that is spared from this chaotic, catastrophic and pernicious impact of illegal drugs, and we must address both the supply and the demand sides of the illegal drug trade. and failure to do so, by the way, would only lead us to a bottomless pit of dissatisfaction. we need to address the supply and the demand. yes, simply have a conversation about how as far as bringing in the governors, the mayors -- because, by the way, i have meeting -- ashley: but wouldn't you -- arthel: but wouldn't you, right, and you've been doing a lot of

legwork and footwork there, but wouldn't you think the president would have some sort of an agenda of what he's going to say to the president? i mean, just kind of generic talk, it's too late for that. this thing is out of control. i would imagine that the president's going down there with specific points that he needs to make to the mexican president and demands and asks and, hopefully, takeaways. >> absolutely. in fact, one of the most important is going back and working alongside law enforcement because our own law enforcement can provide services to mexico as well. and, by the way, we already have law enforcement officers working on both sides of the border to address this. however, it's just what you're looking at our own insatiable appetite for drug dos are going to continue to flow north, and that's so unfortunately and regretly because many communities -- regrettably, many communities in america are suffering from this, but going back to your point -- arthel: yeah.

it's really horrible -- >> i know. arthel: i apologize because you have so much to say, but i do have to wrap here, and i want to ask you, do you feel hopeful that because president biden is finally making his way to the border that perhaps with him there, his visit and with the full support of congress that we could possibly start to see the beginning of some needed change? >> it is the never too late to address this. it isn't. i know the frustration and feel frustration from border communities as well as cbp officers who have, again for the last 30 years, we've had the same song and dance. but it is. and at the same time, we need to hold responsible as well for the consequential long-term solutions for our broken immigration solution. and, of course, the onus is on the president as well. now, can that be done? honestly, we've had unified governments before where you've had -- [laughter] you're looking at republicans have had unified government in

the last 30 years, democrats have had a unified government but yet e did not address the broken government system. and by the way, it entails addressing the drug trade as well concern. arthel: of course. no doubt. >> all the dots are connected, and it's part of that comprehensive immigration reform includes border security, includes law enforcement, includes addressing the drugs and drug trade and guns flowing south as well. arthel: absolutely. >> it's all connected, but it is time for congress to act and at the same time, of course, both parties -- and i keep saying in the -- both parties are responsible here, and they take such a myopic view of border security, and unfortunately, we continue to see the same song and dance and i hate to use the words, but we've seen it time and time again. hopefully -- arthel: well, let's hope the people's voice is going to be loud, the collective people's voice will be loud here across our country and there in texas.

all right, mayor, again, i love to talk to you. good luck with everything. we'll check back in to get an update. thank you very much. take care can. >> thank you. appreciate the the time. eric: well, there are some chilling new details emerging in the gruesome murders in idaho questioning could a piece of evidence reveal the suspect's possible motive? former police detective lieutenant steve rogers will be here on that and where this investigation is going. plus, every national football league family playing concern paying tribute to damar hamlin this weekend. that includes the new orleans saints, the team's owner. going a step further, giving out defellowshiply laters to youth sports programs. gayle benson is here, the owner of the stability ises, to explain as "fox news live "continues for this saturday. ♪ ♪ life... doesn't stop for diabetes. be ready for every moment, with glucerna. it's the number one doctor recommended brand that

eric: police say a 6-year-old boy shot a first grade teacher in a virginia classroom yesterday, and it was no accident. they say it happened during an argument between them at an elementary school in newport news, that's about. 70 miles south of richmond. the teacher, a woman in her 30s, suffered life-threatening wounds, but police say she is now in stable the condition at a

hospital. young boy in custody. police are investigating how that young boy did get that handgun. they won't comment about the boy's parents. the school will be, though, closed on monday. arthel: well, two mattresses this that may have been bloodstained have been remove from the home where four idaho students were brutally murdered. this as we learn more about a how investigators tracked the suspect in the weeks leading up to his arrest. chief correspondent jonathan hunt is live many moscow, idaho, with the very latest. hey, jonathan. >> reporter: hey, arthel. investigators continue to build their case against the accused killer, 28-year-old bryan kohberger, as part of that case. they are continuing to remove evidence from the house where the four university of idaho students were so brutally murdered. among the evidence our cameras caught being removed were those mattresses. they were wrapped in heavy duty

white plastic, but beneath the plastic we could just about make out a couple of large, dark stains on one of those mattresses. we obviously do not know what caused those stain, but given that we have been told that some of the victims were stabbed to death in their beds, viewers can draw their own conclusions about those stains. in the meantime, they have raid out a wealth of -- laid out a wealth of evidence, the investigators, against bryan kohberger who made his first court appearance here in idaho this week. they have a dna match they said they got from the if crime scene and matched it to trash that they took from outside the kohberger family residence in pennsylvania. they say they have vehicle surveillance footage which shows that coe e berger's white hyundai elantra was in the area of the murders at time they happened. and they have all of these cell

phone records. now, kohberger's cell phone apparently did not ping anywhere near residence at time of the murders, but investigators believe that may be because he deliberately turned it off. if it did ping if cell towers very close to the residence of the victims 12 times in the weeks and months before the killings happened, and investigators say that may be an indication that he was stalk stalking one or more of the victims and may have planned out these attacks in great detail. he'll be back in court for a status hearing next thursday. arthel? arthel: jonathan hunt there live in moscow, idaho, thank you. eric? eric: as the investigation unfolds, that knife sheept that was found next to two of the victims, well, police say it could the indicate the killer targeted them. the unsealed affidavit reveals a for instance ec expert saying,

quote: as i entered the bed with room, i could see two females in the single bed in the room, both were deceased with visible stab wounds. i also later noted what appeared to be a tan leather knife sheath laying on the bed. the idaho state lab later located a single source of male kna suspect proprofile left on the button snap of the knife sheath. retired new jersey detective lieutenant the steve -- is with us. madison and kaylee, they were found on the third floor in the bedroom, and you've got this knife sheath right next to them. obviously, the killer that takes out the knife, could that indicate that hay or one of them was targeted first because that's where the sheath was apparently dropped? >> if well, eric, you're right, it can cause law enforcement to conclude that his motive was targeting them and to kill them. now, saying that, i believe that

the forensic criminal profilers will be the ones that'll be assessing exactly all of what is taking place in addition to what you just shared regarding the sheath. so they have will probably be the ones that will be coming up with a possible motive. but i tell you, as you know, motive will not really have much to do with the prosecution of this individual at this point. what the police were concentrating on, and they did an extraordinary job, was connecting a lot of dots. your reporter mentioned them earlier. you had the cell phone pings, the dna on the sheath, there were other incidents involving police stopping them, their car, taking a strange route, running around, him going back to the scene. all this adds up to what the police really need to do is to make sure they have a rock solid evidence that will put this guy behind bars or give him the death penalty. eric: steve, it really strikes me that for weeks there was a lot of criticism of the moscow

police department and authorities. what are they doing? they don't have a suspect. we don't know. they seem like they don't know what they're doing, blah, blah, blah, blah. and man, oh man, did authorities surprise us. they were right on this. they connected this across the country from idaho, following them right to pennsylvania, surveilling the suspect 24/7, seeing at four in the morning they say he took garbage out of his house in pennsylvania visiting his parents where he grew up and depositing it in a neighbor's garbage, then authorities taking that garbage and getting, they say, a dna match. talk a bit about a law enforcement official what that is like, that they held a lot back, don't make everything public, but they were terrifically and diligently going after this case, as they should? >> i cannot imagine how frustrating it was for them. i remember when i was on the police department the same thing, people would demand answers. you had the answers, but you

didn't want to compromise the investigation. think about this, eric. law enforcement also had air surveillance. they had an airplane circling the area of the house to see if he'd return. of course, you don't want to reveal that to the public, but they did an extraordinary job, and they deserve all the credit in the world. and moving bard, believe me, this investigation isn't over. they're going to continue to get as much information as they could so that when it goes to the courts, the prosecutor will have everything he or she needs to put person away forever. eric he was a criminology if student or is, he also applied at one of the local police departments, so surgeon hi like a law enforcement buff and studying that. i mean, is -- do you think it is at all possible that we will get a specific motive whether it was potentially romantic with one of the young women, whether it was psychological problems, when it's some other issue dealing with a criminal mind because he studied criminal psychology? >> eric, i believe law enforcement will, and it may be right in front of us. what do i mean by that?

in all the things he's written whether they be term papers, theses or whatever, i believe maybe the motive is buried somewhere in some of the documents that he has written over the years and perhaps even published on the internet. eric: well, certainly we hope they have a lot more and it will be unfolding. steve rogers, good to see you. thank you. >> thank you. eric: and our coverage of this case continues throughout the evening here on the fox news channel and this weekend. tomorrow, nancy grace will host a live one-hour special, that's at 10 p.m. eastern tomorrow, also that will be after that available our streaming service, fox nation. arthel: damar hamlin's doctors say the quick response by medical staff on the field likely saved his life monday night. some want to make sure those same resources are available for youth sports. the owner of the new orleans saints and pelicans is making that happen, and she joins us live. that's coming up next. ♪ ♪
