billion. now the fate of his controversial program is in the hands of the supreme court and we could find out any moment how the court has ruled on this. we'll bring it to you as it happens. the main suspect in the 2005 disappearance of natalee holloway van der sloot is on his way from peru to the u.s. facing federal charges he tried to extort holloway's mother on information where her daughter was buried. her body has never been found. welcome to a new hour of "america's newsroom," i'm dana perino. good morning. >> bill: good morning, i'm bill hemmer. joran van der sloot is in u.s. custody on a jet filled with f.b.i. agents heading for birmingham, alabama where he will remain in federal custody for the duration of the criminal proceedings held there and then returned back to peru to serve the remainder of a 28-year sentence for the murder of a 21-year-old woman in lima. >> dana: we spoke to the federal

prosecutor who filed the u.s. charges against van der sloot is 2010. >> i had my doubts he would ever make it back to alabama to face justice for his crimes. van der sloot preyed on the emotions of a mother whose child had been murdered. van der sloot lied. there was no body buried where he said there was. and van der sloot was able to flee aruba to peru. >> bill: ted williams worked the case years ago. jonathan serrie has the news in birmingham, alabama. hello. >> the story is unfolding as we speak. the d.o.j. plane sent to peru to pick up van der sloot is on its way back to the u.s. and fox news digital has confirmed through van der sloot's attorney that van der sloot is indeed on board that jet plane. the process is in motion despite

his attorney's 11th hour efforts to block it. news photographers swarmed a police van as authorities escorted van der sloot from a maximum security detention facility in lima to the airport where he was handed over to u.s. authorities. van der sloot is serving a 28 year sentence for the 2010 murder of a business student from a prominent peruvian family. peru has temporarily surrendered him to face a trial for alleged financial crimes against the family of natalee holloway. she was last seen leaving a bar in aruba with van der sloot. in 2010, he was indicted for extortion and wire fraud for providing natalee's mother with false information on the location of her daughter's body in exchange for money. >> they still don't know what happened to their daughter but

he will be facing the family here on u.s. soil. it is somewhat a closure for the family. they may not get a murder charge but at least they'll face him in court. >> peruvian authorities agreed to allow u.s. authorities to retain custody, temporary custody of van der sloot not just for the financial crimes trial itself, but any appeals as well. bill. >> bill: jonathan serrie reporting in birmingham. more to come from there. thank you much. >> dana: want to bring in chris swecker f.b.i. assistant director and ted williams, former homicide detective. you know the story well and it's trudge africa the beginning. natalee holloway disappearance as you remember, chris swecker, you were there at the f.b.i. at the time. what were you told and what happened in terms of f.b.i. agents going to that area in aruba when they tried to find her? >> dana, in 2005 i was the head

of all f.b.i. criminal investigations. this case popped up on my radar. director mueller at the time was very plugged into it. he asked if we could send divers to aruba to dive for her in a cove that had high currents and a lot of shark activity. i think it is highly -- we thought at the time and we still do, it's highly likely that van der sloot met her at the casino, slipped her date rape drugs. she had an overdose incident with the drugs and dumped her body in the ocean. that's the working theory and i think it's a very strong working theory. but this case has had so many twists and turns since then as you well know. he was accused of human trafficking in thailand for a while. he has been in chile, back up to new york, finally arrested in peru for a murder of a young woman with a tennis racket down there. this guy is a serial predator.

>> bill: ted, you worked the story as well. did you ever think you would see this day? >> you know, i never thought i would see this day, bill and dana, i have to tell you, i wonder in beth and dave holloway, the mother and father of natalee holloway, thought they would ever see this day, the day that this so-called bottom feeder is on a plane in the custody of the f.b.i. coming to america to face american justice. this is a good day for justice in america, bill and dana. >> dana: chris, i want to show you this extradition timeline. you can see it has taken years, as we pointed out to get to this point. once he gets here to the united states and on his way on a plane right now, chris, what's the next step after that? >> he will be brought before a

judge in alabama and it when be an initial appearance there. the charges will be read to him. a bond will be set or maybe not. i doubt a bond will be set. the government would have to make a showing of why he shouldn't get bond. they'll be able to do that and then he will go to a local facility there until his trial if he decides to go the whole nine yards and go to trial, which i doubt he will. i think the evidence is pretty overwhelming. >> bill: let's talk about the wire fraud charge and extortion charge. apparently it came out of a lie he told prosecutors in peru about where her body was and that his father buried the body under a house. he essentially lured natalee holloway's mom into another devious plot and then admitted

he made it all up. >> you know when van der sloot is lying, that's when his lips are moving. this guy has lied and lied throughout this incident from 2005. yes, he did get $25,000 of the $250,000 he wanted to be able to tell them where the body was. he then took that $25,000. went to peru and while gambling there he met this young girl stephanie flores and he wound up killing her and he was given 28 years. this guy is a social predator, social deviant. i anticipate, bill and dana, they will also give him a mental evaluation right away when he arrives here in the states. he will also be assigned a public defender unless his mother, who is still alive,

decides, or some family member or someone else, to provide him with a lawyer. >> bill: ted, thank you. chris swecker, thanks to you as well. we'll need help getting through this and we'll do it with the help of you guys. >> dana: when he arrived his prison conditions are quite different than peru. it seems like a fairly permissive situation in peru with a lot of freedoms. he won't have that here. >> bill: you wonder how you get a conviction? is it hard or not? i don't know the answer. some good legal minds will take us through that when we get to it. dangerous smoke from canadian wildfires spreading further across the country posing serious health risks for more than 100 million americans. dr. marc siegel with the health hazards and how to protect yourself. >> dana: donald trump getting official notice he is a target in the federal investigation into his handling of classified material. >> politicized justice

>> bill: update you on the smoke we're getting from canada on the map behind me, we can tell you the number of active fires, 233 now burning 9 million acres in canada. most of it is in the western part of the country but the area that's getting all the attention here in the northeast and up and down the east coast and midwest are the fires in quebec and nova scotia. what is that doing? the northern wind that keeps churning around and throwing the smoke down in the northeastern section of our country and further south, too. in the midwest they are being affected as well. every state you see on the map

now in black is giving an air quality alert. half of the state of new york, all of pennsylvania, into maryland, just about all of maryland and new jersey. the entire state of north carolina, back in indiana and michigan was added a moment ago as well. we'll continue for a couple of days and chart it and let you know who is most susceptible to these dangerous conditions. nicole valdez from fox weather is out in the street braving this for all of us. you are in queens. what are you hearing and seeing and smelling, nicole? good morning. >> bill, good morning. still a haze out here this morning. breaking news now the faa announced they are delaying all flights inbound for newark international airport. that is a part of a domino effect of problems that all the smoke has caused for at least the last 24 hours. the faa adding they will likely need to manage the flow of traffic safely to some major

cities including new york city, d.c., philly and charlotte. already this morning more than 1,000 flights nationwide have suffered delays as a result of this ongoing issue. when you see these images, it is not hard to see why. not only is visibility a problem but there is major health concerns involving people breathing this in for too long, especially people with asthma or copd or younger children or older people. they will -- whether a cough attack or worse just overall trouble breathing here. you are noticing several major sporting events but state leaders are taking action. cancellations including several school districts over in yonkers, long beach and major sporting events. several games, including the yankees/white socks game and racing at belmont park closed.

they're monitoring the situation to make the decision whether the belmont stakes will continue as planned on saturday. racing is supposed to resume there tomorrow. mayor eric adams is concerned and urging new yorkers to take serious care here. >> all new yorkers, limit outdoor activity to the greatest extent possible. this is not a day to train for a marathon or to do an outside event with your children. >> quick look of what it looks like landing into jfk airport last night as the smoke was overtaking new york city there. definitely an intense view from the air, bill. something that unfortunately new yorkers will be dealing with for at least the next few days. >> bill: we're ready for it. thank you for that in queens. more from dana. >> dana: wildfire smoke is creating serious health hazard.

air quality alerts are in place important the highlighted regions. new york, detroit, philadelphia, washington are the big cities with the worst air quality in the world according to iq air. let's bring in dr. marc siegel professor of medicine and fox news contributor. what would you tell your patients to do today? >> when bill talked about the -- in california when they see the wildfires it blows off quick because of the way the winds go on the pacific ocean. here we are seeing it locked in. i'm in d.c. where the air quality is 317. new york 185 which is why you were able to see some of those buildings. anything over 100 is a hard arid. 317 is what i was feeling in new york yesterday. for health use this, a n95 mask if you're outdoors. in areas where there is a lot of this, especially if you have

underlying asthma, copd as nicole said or respiratory problems. i talked to dr. frank adams, the author of the asthma source book and he said he is concerned about young children. concerned about this building up and also something that i hadn't heard, the risk of infection. lower airway infection increases because you don't fight off infection as easily when the particles get in there. the tiny particles are the issue in the smoke we're most concerned about. >> bill: we have the side effects on screen here, doctor, it covers everything. headaches, runny nose, coughing, stinging eyes. what's not on that list? >> let me break this down for you. the stinging eyes doesn't worry me. a sign you have been exposed. i hear from a lot of my patients headache and fatigue. people are getting fatigued walking around in this. if you have trouble breathing,

if you have asthma or copd take an extra burst on the inhaler, take more of the steroid inhaler and get back indoors. if you are in a car use the recycle mode on the air conditioner so you aren't getting the air coming in. stay indoors as much as possible. keep the windows closed. i would cut down on cooking because you can't be totally sure some of this air won't get indoors. if you have a question, call your physician. the pulse ox im tears put one on your finger and check oxygen content. when you call me that's the first thing i'll ask. >> dana: dr. marc siegel with good advice. thank you so much. >> bill: we were given a warning of a couple events indoors were canceled that struck us as unique. >> dana: you can see it a little bit. >> bill: yankee stadium last night they called off the game. looks like they will play this game on planet mars. that's what they all looked like

yesterday. >> dana: it looked like that for sure. we'll keep an eye on it for everybody and things will clear up soon. >> bill: get back to play ball as well. the legal stakes getting higher for donald trump. federal prosecutors have notified the former president's legal team he is now the target of a criminal investigation into the handling of classified rial. the question now is whether or not an indictment is looming. maybe. andy mccarthy, former assistant u.s. attorney. good morning to you. don't know what biden's status is. pence was cleared a week ago. what is the difference in this case if everyone has been doing it, andy? >> well, in law enforcement parlance, bill, target means somebody who is likely to be indicted. i imagine the other people you mentioned pence is now a closed case. biden may technically be the subject of an investigation. that means the grand jury is merely looking and it is not clear whether he will be charged

or not. when you get told you with a target it is a virtual certainty you'll be charged. >> dana: jesse watters asked me this last night. what would that look like? if a former president of the united states and a current candidate to the president of the united states again is indicted, then what is the procedure? does anything different happen or does he turn himself in like he did last time a few months ago in new york? >> dana, this is so unprecedented i think that anybody tells you they know exactly how it will play out is either delusional or not telling the truth. the fact is we just don't know. we've never been through this before. what i think will happen is that there will be coordination between the f.b.i. and the secret service so it will be similar to the coordination probably better because it is all federal, but similar to the coordination that went on when former president trump surrendered in manhattan on the

state charges. so here presumably this is going to happen in washington where the grand jury is set up. this seems to be something they are pitching as a grand jury obstruction case as much as a document retention case. so what i presume will happen is the f.b.i. will work in coordination with the secret service to arrange a situation where former president trump would be allowed to come to court and be processed like anyone else who gets charged. >> bill: the "wall street journal" reported earlier in the week another grand jury is convened in florida. a question of whether or not it could be prosecuted in washington or -- i don't know what the difference is. but what would rise to a guilty offense? is it i'm not giving this to you? it's none of your business. or i have proof that i showed a classified document to a friend of mine who was staying at mar-a-lago. what could it be, andy?

>> the gamut it runs is -- there is a series of offenses that run from the very serious dealing with people trusted with classified information and then give it to enemies of the united states in order to harm the country to a low-level offense that applies to most people that this comes up with in government where they exhibit gross negligence in mishandling the information such as storing it in an unauthorized place, taking it out of the place that is the safekeeping area, allowing it to be seen by somebody who is not authorized to see it, losing it, you know, just getting it destroyed or transmitted to the wrong place. those are all negligence offenses. they are prosecuted criminally because the people involved are trusted with access to classified information. so along with that comes the obligation to follow the rules

for handling it. then in this particular case, the way they have portrayed it, especially since biden's problems with classified information emerged in january, it seems to me that what happened is the justice department shifted on trump from concentrating on document retention to concentrating on obstruction of the investigation and grand jury. what they are looking at is the representations in particular that were made in june of last year when based on information from former president trump his lawyers gave a package of 38 documents to the f.b.i. telling them that those were the only documents in his possession that bore classification markings and then, of course, we know two months later they do the search warrant at mar-a-lago and find another 100. >> dana: andy mccarthy, do you think the justice department is keeping the white house informed? >> yes, but i think it's being done in a very discrete way.

i also think, dana, this is one of those things where smith knows what is expected of him and he knows they are trying to create the illusion that the biden justice department and the white house have nothing to do with this decision. so i think they are being very discrete on that. >> dana: thank you. >> bill: thank you. we'll talk to you very soon. thanks. >> dana: we are learning more information about a knife attack at a playground in france. victims including four small children. what we know about the suspect. plus presidential hopefuls are heading to the border. why they say they had to see the crisis with their own eyes. >> the president, you would think that you would take a sense of pride in insuring that the territorial integrity of your country is actually respected. i use secret aluminum free. just swipe and it lasts all day. secret helps eliminate odor, instead of just masking it. and hours later i still smell fresh. secret works. ohhh yesss. veteran homeowners.

many, many decades. yet it is probably as bad as it has ever been right now. i think that this has been a massive dereliction of duty by the president. >> dana: also visiting the border robert f. kennedy junior. my next guest met with him. the sheriff will motte. the video he shot by himself in is selfie mode. take a look here. >> this is a humanitarian crisis because of the understanding across the globe that we now have an open border here. this is not a good thing for our country. it is not a good thing for these people. it is unsustainable. >> dana: what else did he see yesterday? >> well, you know, good morning, by the way. it has been a while. he got a chance, and i have to commend the candidate for actually coming down to the

border and doing research and actually sitting down not only with the ceo from our local hospital who has been impacted by this crisis, but also our food bank. he met with the family advocacy center, our border superviseor. he met with the mayor, and he got to hear from the whole community. unfortunately that's more than our border czar has -- he spent more time down here than our border czar has. >> dana: they both said you need to see it with your own eyes. looking at the numbers you are dealing with in the yuma sector. fy2023 through april 12, 4000, # 81. decrease from 2022 but up since 2021. with those kind of numbers it is

by the former chief down here on the getaways, 9,000 so far this year just in yuma county. he got to see not only the impacts on the resources here and hear about that but the environmental catastrophe we see along the river corridor. not only yuma county but tribal partners' land. you have pharmaceuticals being dumped on the ground. dumping their i.d.s. their passports. all their trash. all that is down there along our river corridor. that's not good for the environment or wildlife down there either. >> dana: look ahead into your crystal ball. you know it gets super hot down there in that part of the country over the next couple months. do you think the flow will slow or are the cartels pushing people into your area? >> we're still unfortunately -- border patrol last -- so far this federal fiscal year

>> bill: breaking news this morning. chinese aggression inching toward the u.s. coast. the "wall street journal" reports china has reached a secret agreement with havana, cuba to build a spy facility on the island nation. fox news senior strategic analyst retired general jack keane with more on this. 100 miles off the coast of florida, if it happens, what do you think? >> one, we shouldn't be too surprised. two communist countries. i think what china is trying to do based on the report is put in place a signals intelligence capability. what that means for our audience

is they would collect radio, telephone, satellite, and internet communication. the whole suite of it. they are not as good at this as the united states. the united states has an eye watering capability. china compensates from human intelligence and cyber capability. the other thing they do here is they want intimidation of the united states. not just collecting intelligence. we have a base in cuba, gaunt guantanamo bay. it has potential for us to attempt to put some capability there to counter this to some degree. what my intelligence sources are telling me. >> dana: so we can get the d.o.d., department of defense this is how rereacted said we won't comment on those reports. on a broader level we're aware

of the prcs to invest in infrastructure around the world including the western hemisphere. we'll monitor it closely. they might want to try to keep it boring. china was trying to buy up farmland near military bases here in the united states. >> yeah. we are target one for china. it is a comprehensive strategy that they have. you saw it. we had one balloon transit the united states for a week and we found out there were three other balloons that penetrated the united states airspace. they've established police stations here to intimidate chinese americans who don't agree with their communist policies. and they are conducting the most comprehensive cyber campaign penetrating american society in a way that no other country, to include the soviet union has ever done. i think probably the f.b.i. is swamped. he has a new case every 12 hours. the f.b.i. does two functions. one is they pursue criminals

across state lines, right? the other thing is they are attempting also to be a capable counter intelligence agency. >> bill: this would, if enacted, conduct signals intelligence known in the spy world as s -- your point about gitmo is interesting. even if they were able to do this and want to sur veil our ship and shipping lanes or do more than that we would be able to jam that program. >> my intelligence source says there is potential for us to counter it. i wouldn't ask what those details are. we do have a base there. but also we have to look at our policy with cuba. this administration has relaxed the trump restrictions dealing with cuba. i think cuba has revealed itself who they really are once again. i don't know how many times we have to find this out. >> dana: i think we keep learning the lesson. >> they are an adversary of the united states.

>> dana: you have secretary blinken apparently going to china fairly soon. for some reason, maybe for good reason they want to try to have better communication with china. see if they can thaw some of the chill that has been in the air in our relations. how should antony blinken deal with this? it's the state department and an important part of our defense. >> communication is important particularly given the fact our relationship is getting more and more adversarial. you have the potential for some kind of military mishap and misinterpretation. if you have a relationship with somebody that is your counterpart pick up the phone and say this is what we were attempting. you were misinterpreting that. we had that with the soviet union. clearly this is an adversary i think it is an enemy. we don't call it that from this administration but the reality is china has a comprehensive program to undermine the united states, our policies and to dominate and control the region.
