7:00 am
taken place at westminster abbey. that has been the tradition for more than a thousand years. the first coronation was willian the conqueror in 1066. >> aishah: we'll have martha maccallum coming up this hour. >> dana: agents along the southern border are bracing for a major surge of migrants when title 42 ends next week. in some of the busiest sectors the surge has already begun as huge groups of migrants camped out in mexico in crowded, often dangerous conditions deciding they can't wait and rushing across the border into america. welcome to a new hour of "america's newsroom." i'm dana perino. bill is off today and i'm joined by aishah. happy friday. >> aishah: i'm aishah hosni. six days away from a major turning point when border agents say they will no longer have the option to quickly turn away migrants using title 42.
7:01 am
instead they will be bogged down in paperwork and taking agents away from doing their job at the border. immigration courts are pectize up already and the caseload is getting worse by the day. a texas lawmaker says the biden administration should be sending more judges to border towns instead of u.s. troops. >> the way it stops is instead of the president sending 1500 u.s. troops to the border, he should send 1500 immigration judges. >> dana: david spunt is live at the justice department as it gets underway. >> 2.1 million cases, that's the backlog as of this morning. think about that for a moment. that number only expected to grow when title 42 is lifted. that number will only swell over the coming weeks and coming months. right now the backlog is about 4 to 6 years. some experts say it could go 8 to 10 years to get into court to hear your case because of title
7:02 am
42. one of the reasons only about 600 immigration judges right now that are active in the united states. obviously the department of justice wants more. they have appropriated more. clearly the judges are overwhelmed. that immigration backlog includes cases from 200 countries around the globe. not only border crossings but title 42 ending spells a disaster for the courts according to multiple people in the system. the judges fall under the department of justice umbrella and depend on the d.o.j. to make more of them. right now the d.o.j. hired 104 judges in fiscal year 2022. the total now around 634. more judges will be hired and brought up to speed i'm told. i spoke with a retired judge who late last year told fox news it would be chaos when title 42 is lifted next week. >> they are overworked and they often suffer the strains of i would say even post traumatic
7:03 am
stress syndrome. >> retired judge talking about the judges there. i did a report a year ago, a backlog then of 1.5 million. i spoke with other immigration judges who warned that ending title 42 will put a tremendous burden on the court system and the judges aren't equipped to handle the influx. i already spoke to a judge who was retired for several years after serving for more than 20 years and she is now back on the bench to help out. came out of retirement to help out with this title 42 lifting influx that we're expected to see. dana. >> dana: amazing story. interesting angle. the fentanyl crisis a major focus for the drug enforcement administration. the d.e.a. today announcing the results of operation last mile targeting and tracking cartel associates responsible for the vast majority of illegal drugs killing americans. in the past year operation last mile has seized more than 6500
7:04 am
pounds of fentanyl powder, more than 43 million fentanyl pills. that's enough to kill nearly 200 million people as well as 91,000 pounds of meth and more than 8,000 guns. joining us now d.e.a. administrator milligram. tell us more about operation last mile. >> d.e.a. has spent the last year tracking down the associates of the sinaloa & other cartels operating in the communities working for the cartels. the people responsible for the fentanyl that is being hidden in cocaine and meth and heroin. these are the people that are responsible for killing hundreds of thousands of americans. so we believe that the 3,337 arrests we've made here working with state and local partners will save lives and have a huge impact on our communities. >> dana: i will show everybody.
7:05 am
call two is a map of two cartels and their reach in the united states. the people that you are talking about all the arrests that were made presumably some of them are in these very communities. question for you is then these cases do they go to trial and is that -- if convicted do they go to jail here or do they get deported? >> these are u.s. cases. so these people, the more than 3,000 people will be held accountable in u.s. courts of law. and if they are convicted and sentenced they'll face time here in the united states. what's really important, dana, also is what you just said. these are people linked to these two cartels in mexico. the cartels we call this operation last mile because the cartels to sell their deadly fentanyl to try to drive addiction in the u.s. need to get those drugs. they need to target victims online and need to target people on the streets of america and that's what these people are doing. so this is a part of our targeting the entire network and
7:06 am
particularly the people in our communities across the united states responsible for that distribution. the deadly violent gangs and the others who are causing the direct harm. >> dana: so i want to call up number one. you mentioned how many people have been dying of these overdoses or poisonings we should say for fentanyl. if you look at the increase from 2019, 35,000 people. 2021, almost 70,000. with meth almost the same. a doubling. if we don't get a handle on this will it double again? >> this is, i believe fentanyl is the greatest threat to americans today. between the ages of 18 and 45 more americans are dying from drug poisoning fentanyl and meth than from cancer, covid, car accidents and terrorism. so that's why we're doing everything we can and have made our top operational priority to defeat the two cartels that are responsible for virtually all of the fentanyl and meth that are
7:07 am
in the united states today. it is our top priority and it is essential for the national security, safety and health of americans. >> dana: you talk about the last mile. i want to bring up call for number four, social media connection for fentanyl in the united states. make parents pretty nervous. how many social media links across the board. a lot of these sites have some sort of nexus with fentanyl. >> that's right. they have a link to the cartels. these cases have a direct link that we found between these social media sites and the two cartels. when we looked back at all of these cases, the vast majority of them have a link either social media or encrypted applications online. when you look at the social media it is facebook, instagram, snapchat, tiktok. and that's where these cartels and their traffickers, the people we've arrested, are selling fake pills meant to look like oxy but are actually
7:08 am
fentanyl. one of the cases is a case from washington, d.c. a woman named diamond lynch. forever 20 years old, purchased what she thought was a percocet pill and died almost immediately. it was not percocet, it was fentanyl. we tracked our washington field division with our local police department and partners. they tracked that back to the drug dealers who had sold her that pill. we then tracked that back to the source of supply. the suppliers in los angeles who were using instagram to communicate and do their business. and then we tracked it from los angeles back to the sinaloa cartel in mexico. diamond lynch never lived. she was planning her 1-year-old birthday party when that happened. >> dana: america is fortunate to have you at the helm at dea. thank you for sharing the information and congratulations on those arrests and hope it keeps going. >> thank you so much. >> aishah: newly released body cam footage shows bryan
7:09 am
kohberger being pulled over for a traffic stop a month before the killings. watch this. >> i think you know why i stopped you. you ran the red light. >> what happened i was stuck in the middle of the intersection so i was forced. >> i was behind you the whole time. you aren't supposed to enter the intersection at all. >> would you explain that to me a little bit further? in pennsylvania when you are struck in the intersection you have to make a left. >> aishah: you can hear his voice. the white hyundai is a key piece of evidence at his trial. he is charged with murdering four college students at their off-campus home last november. dan springer is live in seattle with the very latest on this case. dan. >> we've known about this traffic stop since bryan kohberger was arrested in late december but just getting to see the interaction. it really is just a very routine interaction with an officer almost exactly one month before he was arrested for the murders of those four students.
7:10 am
kohberger got caught running a red light. during his exchange with the officer he is compliant and cure yes about the law. >> a little confusion with speeding. because someone had stopped. i wasn't sure what they were doing and then they put on their light to turn. so i thought that maybe they were letting me go through. did you see that? >> no. >> right before i made the turn there was someone who made a right. they didn't have their signal on so i wasn't sure if they were just -- >> kohberger is facing four counts of first degree murder. preliminary hearing scheduled june 26th expected to last a week. the video was released along with the body cam footage of the video recorded after 7:00 in the morning december 30th just hours after kohberger was arrested at his parents' home in pennsylvania. >> police department, search
7:11 am
warrant, come to the door. police department, search warrant, come to the door. >> we could learn more about what was found during that search at the preliminary hearing. but before that the judge and lawyers on the case will be in court later this month on a motion to strike the gag order issued by judge to ensure kohberger gets a fair trial. >> aishah: and what bethany funk says. the lawyers want to hear from her. thank you, dan. >> it looks like the russians created this event. so-called false flag operation. the russians came out relatively quickly to say that this was an assassination attempt on putin. >> aishah: jack keane doing a reality check on the foiled drone attack against the kremlin. did russia stage it so it could then blame us? the latest next.
7:12 am
>> dana: controversy after a death on a new york city subway, a former marine places a disturbed homeless man in a choke hold and he later died. will he face charges? our panel digs deep into the case straight ahead. >> legally, this will never be a murder case. there is 0 percent chance this marine will ever be charged with intentionally trying to kill mr. neely. okay everyone, our mission is complete balanced nutrition. together we provide nutrients to support immune, muscle, bone, and heart health.

today the battle is happening within the democratic party. the greens versus the unions. and i am here for this fight. i do not know how it will turn out. i will watch this. >> aishah: political animal. >> dana: exactly. >> aishah: russia vowing to retaliate after this claiming this drone attack on the kremlin this week came from ukraine. moscow said it was their plot to assassinate president putin and accuses the united states. they call the claim ludicrous. what's the latest snow >> overnight the kremlin had more threats against the united states. lavrov is in india today. take a look at what he said. he tells them the attack on the kremlin is a hostile act with kiev could not have carried out
7:19 am
without the knowledge of its warns patrons. we will respond with concrete actions. putin spokesmen already accused the biden administration of orchestrating a drone attack on the kremlin. the white house dismissed that accusation again yesterday calling it ludicrous. >> i won't even begin to try to estimate why that man says what he says. they don't have conclusive evidence. one thing i can tell you for certain is that the united states was not involved. >> neither the state department nor the intelligence community as of now know who was behind the attack. national security sources say it's possible they may never know. >> the united states was not involved, nor had a role in this at all. >> you've seen the ukrainian government deny their having engaged in this. at this stage we don't have information that would allow us to provide an independent
7:20 am
assessment on this. >> sources say russia is using the attacks as cover to scale down their so-called victory parades this year in order to hide the true scale of their military losses to ukraine. talking to sources, aishah, a lot of experts say the most likely scenario here is that the kremlin planned these attacks or staged them in order to gin up support for putin and bring home the reality of the war for the people and gin up more anger and opposition to ukraine. >> aishah: more propaganda. gillian turner live in the state department. thanks, gillian. [chanting]

>> dana: protestor calling for justice for or jar dan neely. a homeless man being placed in a choke hold by a subway passenger earlier this week. now the man that was put in the choke hold jordan neely later died from his injuries. prosecutors are weighing charges against former marine who restrained him. bring in lawrence jones host of cross-country and nypd inspector paul mauro. can you explain before the full investigation is finished that the coroner could say it was a homicide? >> in the context of the medical examiner calling something a homicide is not saying that's a charge. he is charged with homicide. it is more a term of art within the medical examiner's lexicon. it means essentially that the death did not occur from actions of the victim. that somebody else caused it. that is really all it means in this context. >> aishah: we were talking a
7:22 am
couple weeks ago about adam clots spoke up for an elderly man on the subway and gets beat up. look what happened to this marine. at what point are people not going to want to step in anymore? >> it's the exact opposite. dana, you may remember i was sitting on this program with you and bill and i said i've been feeling it. i've been seeing people. people are so fed up you will get vigilante justice and people start to fight back. when the system fails and you can't protect people, look, i know the pundit class is saying well, why do people ride the subway? some people don't have a choice but to ride the subway. it is very elitist for people to say find a different way to commute. he had a violent past as well. i know it's so hard to see someone die on camera. all of us have compassion for his mental health and everything.

[shouting] >> move back, move back, move back, move back, move back. >> move back. >> dana: i don't even know what to ask, paul. your reaction as a former nypd inspector on how the officers react to that. >> it is tough. you are a human being standing there and people screaming at you and spitting at you. the nypd was not on the car and had nothing to do with this.
7:24 am
i've worked a lot of these things. this is the social life for these protestors. i've been there. they come and get to the protest site haven't seen you in a week. see you tuesday at the whale thing. take care, how is your wife? this is their social life. some people go bowling. this is what they do. they are always waiting for some triggering event so they can get out there and scream and yell. some of them very well may be professionals. that happens as well. we always note the day after anything like this or even a national level occurs suddenly signs are printed up. where does the money come from? >> dana: the marine who is now -- has not been charged but he has gotten a lawyer. this is a lawyer who ran against alvin bragg, the prosecutor. what -- how long does he wait to find out what will happen here? >> what bragg will do here. it will go to a grand jury before anything occurs. that's his cover. he will put it in front of a group of citizens who will indict or not.
7:25 am
you can nuance a grand jury. even though that's his cover. he can always say look, the grand jury spoke, the system spoke. he has been charged now it has to play out. it depends on what he puts into the grand jury. people don't realize prosecutors have a great amount of leeway what goes into the grand jury. we'll see if he really wants this or not. understand this marine has a very good justification defense. really the balancing test comes down to were his actions reasonable in relation to the threat that seemed to be coming at them? when you consider that the guy was yelling things like i'm done, i've had it, etc. you are in a metal tube, enclosed area. we've seen this kind of thing if you ride the subways. it is a threatening situation. the guy has priors. acting erratically. out on a violent warrant. troublesome situation. >> bill: before we leave, dana. i would caution the d.a. if he wants to make this about politics, because if he is going to charge this marine, then be

7:32 am
seeking answers. jeff paul live in los angeles with more. hi, jeff. >> dana, phoenix police aren't putting out many details involving what evidence led them to the suspect or the way they believe lauren heike was killed. during their latest update investigators are confident they found the man they were looking for. >> with this man taken into custody i can tell you he is the same person that was shown on the video clip that we shared with you all a few days ago. >> that video the sergeant was referencing is grainy but what appears to be a man with a back tack running from the left of the screen to the right. police put out the six second clip a few days after lauren's body was discovered along a hiking trail in northeastern phoenix. after 48 hours of the videos release an arrest was made and this cell phone video taken by a witness appears to show that very moment. lauren, just 29 years old. went out for a hike last friday along the desert trail near her

article. important quote. he says i've known the thomas's. i'm mindful how vicious and gossipy people can be. i protect their privacy and safe. viciousness have turned into violence now. they want thomas to resign so joe biden can replace him with one of his own. >> aishah: kellyanne conway responding to the newspaper article that she -- accusations of money laundering there. let's bring in shannon bream, anchor of "fox news sunday" to break it down for us. this developing story. kellyanne down played her role here. what did you make of her response and the situation? >> i thought it was interesting she talked about the fact that ginni thomas was a contractor for her. a lot more we have questions about with regard to the story
7:35 am
but she spoke to it as if it is somebody who worked for her and paid her for that work and she noted that a lot of the recent stories we've seen regarding the thomas's when you dig into them you find even within the articles themselves they don't allege that any laws have been broken or crimes committed. although they raise a lot of questions. that's giving fuel to those on capitol hill who want to see more, you know, cracking down on the justices whether it's causing them to put together new legislation, whether it's about making sure they draft their own code of conduct and adopt it. interesting to see. there has been such a flood of information regarding justice thomas and then justice gorsuch and questions about chief justice roberts' wife. it feels almost like a coordinated effort at the same time the capitol hill folks say they want more control over the court. >> dana: the daily wire reported about sotomayor who got over $3 million from book publishers who
7:36 am
then had dealings before the court and she didn't recuse. i just wonder how far this goes. >> that's a great question, dana. you're right. there were cases that came up for a vote before justice sotomayor and because she had a book that was published by penguin random house and did not recuse from those votes. justice breyer retired from the court also received money from the publisher. the justices decide whether they recuse or don't from cases. with the reporting that has had to deal with justice thomas and justice gorsuch these people didn't have cases that came before the court. that's an important distinction. whether there is more to this story that's out in the "washington post", we don't know yet. we're waiting to see if we can get a statement from the thomas's or the court or somebody close to them so we'll have more clarity on that. the fact is there are financial things that are amended all the times.

lieutenant mccray. her brother is a police officer. she has been through a lot in her own life. she lived in the projects. and her point is, you know, judges are not allowing them to do what they need to do, liberal judges, to clean up these streets. remember, the city council in san francisco at large, california at large, is very much against ending the sanctuary city policies when illegal immigrant fentanyl dealers are involved. even when we see what we see, we can't work with the federal authorities, ice, to get these fentanyl dealers, many of whom are illegals, out of the united states. and to prosecute them to the fullest extent of the law. they are more focused in san francisco on maintaining sanctuary status than they are in really dealing with this fentanyl crisis. so it's -- this is a monumental task but in a way quite simple.

crowned. >> dana: the coronation of queen elizabeth ii was 70 years ago. now king charles iii is preparing for his historic coronation tomorrow. excitement is building in london and crowds are already lining the procession route. what is it like this morning, martha. >> a lot of excitement this afternoon. kate and william were shaking hands with people. king charles was back and forth from the abbey as they finished rehearsals. there is a lot of excitement. it has been a long time in the waiting as you say, 70 years he has waited for this moment. he was about four years old when he watched his mother's coronation that you had the news reel footage of. it rained that day. it is expected to rain tomorrow as well. the sun keeps popping out. we'll see how it goes tomorrow.

>> aishah: can you talk about the turnaround that king charles has had and queen camilla. we maybe thought we would never see a queen camilla, hoped for a queen diana. the p.r. turnaround this couple has had. >> a long time in the making, aishah. you think back to when they came out of their salacious conversations and a huge embarrassment for the two of them. everybody involved in the two marriages was cheating on their spouse. it was a messy, messy situation. i think there was a long time when william and harry were very much against this. harry has said they wanted their father to have camilla in his life but not to remarry. here she is on the coin with her face next to his and crowned queen consort tomorrow. an extraordinary story. the rehabilitation of camilla.

but she is a big winner, you might say, tomorrow as she becomes queen consort of the united kingdom. >> dana: i lived in the u.k. with peter in 1997, 1998. the tabloids at the time you never would have imagined this day would come. yet here it is. our first lady, jill biden, left for london yesterday. we have video of that. she will be there representing the united states. the president of the united states will not be going. the other person not going is meghan, harry's wife. i wonder if you've heard little bits of info while you've been on the streets. >> word is that harry has landed. that he is staying at a private estate of a friend. that he is not really welcomed to windsor. there is a lot of very bad blood here. what we're hearing is that he and william haven't spoken. this is the first time the family will lay eyes on him

since his book, "spare" came out. the book wasn't released the last time they saw him. maybe he would push it off and pull more sort of the strong, aggressive take against members of his family back from the book but he didn't. he kept coming out again and again really going after william very hard after his father, and after camilla. i don't think it's surprising meghan is staying at home. last time she was here she got booed. when harry arrives. there is still affection for him in many pockets of the country. i think it was probably a wise decision for her to stay home and not draw attention to her and him. from all accounts a quick in and out for him. >> dana: what do we need to know about tomorrow? >> we'll start at 5:00 a.m. get that coffeemaker set to brew at
