years as they attend a hearing where a judge could decide if they are not eligible for parole after allegations their father molested and physically abused them. >> john: or on the latest development in the years old court case. standby for that. for a better life. i get that. when you cause a crisis this big it overwhelms the border patrol that many times border patrol 70% or higher are pulled off patrol, that is when the cartels take advantage. >> sandra: that was incoming border czar tom homan.ling up hs sleeves. tomorrow he will tour the southern border alongside texas governor greg abbott. i am sandra smith in new york. >> john: a brand-new week. a lot is going to happen before january the 20th to be sure. i'm john roberts and washington. this is "america reports." eagle pass has been a hot spot. over the weekend.

texas dps troopers found dozens of migrant children arriving at the border completely alone. of them as young as two years old. >> sandra: we are going to play out some of that video. it is in spanish. we want you to hear from some of these kids in their own voices. >> [speaking another language] >> [speaking another language] >> [speaking another language] >> sandra: that was little ashley from honduras. child 4 years old. you can see that line goes on for quite a while. >> joining us in just a moment with more on this heartbreaking reality of the border crisis. first to our bill melugin live in eagle pass, texas. look at those young kids, some

as young as 2 coming by themselves into the country. it's not just heartbreaking, it is child abuse. because it is. it is human trafficking on a massive scale. since election day i have talked to a lot of border patrol agents who say they are static that tom homan is going to be leaving president trump's border security. they feel he will be a partner for them rather than an adversary like they had with the biden administration. they need help down here because it is still very active. this was part of this group of 200 illegal immigrant spirit encountered by texas troopers. as you guys were talking about, part of that group included 60 of these unaccompanied children. some as young as two years old. no parents, no guardians, traveling completely alone. traffic across the border. some of these kids with pieces of paper, phone numbers saying where they want to go to, texas,

florida, missouri,y others. there was a 2-year-old girl from el salvador completely alone who had a piece of paper and talk to texas troopers. take a listen. >> [speaking another language] >> take a look at these photos. last week right here in eagle pass. texas dps encountered this group of men from afghanistan who crossed illegally. there is national security concerns. they are supposed to receive additional dhs vetting. take a look at this video. texas dps providing drone footage showing what they call a mass migration drills. putting their resources out on the river to prepare for any sudden rush or caravan of migrants that may try to get

into the country or texas before president trump takes office. they are not rolling out the red carpet. greg abbott says he's excited to work with tom homan and defrost relationships with the federal government. >> we have had people who were antagonistic to texas securing the border. now we have allies. texas working collaboratively with the trump administration. >> things got very frosty between texas and the biden administration through the park we are standing in last year, texas kicked biden's border patrol out of this park. they haven't been allowed back in. texas was so frustrated that border patrol was cutting the razor wire and letting illegal immigrants walk into the country. they are excited to start defrosting those relations with the incoming trump administration. those defrosting efforts likely starts tomorrow when tom homan visits right here in eagle pass with governor abbott. we will send them back to you.wo

the border patrol association, they were saying how much they wanted to protect the border instead of being given orders to exactly the contrary. thank you. >> sandra: and spring in texas sheriff thad cleveland. his county lies on the border.. i can't get out of my mind the image of those children coming across, some as young as two years old. these are child after child, line after line. how can anybody object to the plan to stop this from happening? they are making incredibly dangerous journeys. children as young as two years old. but we are saying as far as trafficking. it does not end. your thoughts? >> thank you for having me back on "america reports." you are exactly right. even those of us out the border

who were border patrol agents, we are parents as well. you see this is heartbreaking. i often tell people, your job is dangerous and hard. i am in law enforcement. i have been shot at and been in fistfights. what's hard about our job is seeing those children and the women that are crossing the border by themselves. this administration as wthe stas fought harder against the cartels that are smuggling these people into the united states. >> how are they getting into the border by themselves? >> their parents may already be here in the united states. they may just be giving them into the hands of a smuggler. we have heard the stories of what happens with people on their journey to the united states. that's why america spoke and put president trump back in the white house. him and tom homan will make a good push. >> sandra: as we know,

democrats are resisting the deportations. when you see these images, what happens next with these kids? what is the process that we are watching right now? >> border patrol will take them into custody. they will be turned over to health and human services. that is hhs. we have seen the stories where there is over 300 children. the sponsor here in the united states. at that point, that is where we have seen this administration again loosening their grip on those kids. i can tell you that the upcoming administration will tighten that process up again. these kids would be in much better shape if they were still in the hands of u.s. border patrol agents. speak to that turning over is where so many of these children end up into the wrong hands in an incredibly dangerous and scary situations and go unaccounted for. that is happening every single hour of every single day. nobody is keeping track.

that is about to change. democrats if they can and will to stop it. >> it's very concerning and scary. people want a secure border. they want to make sure that violent felons aren't in this country. donald trump and tom homan have talked about having the military involved in going into businesses and conducting raids, asking people for their paperwork. i don't think that is what the american people want. >> sandra: immigrants are still making the case that accountability is a bad thing. we have heard from many of them that we are going to resist the deportation efforts to secure the border. >> i will tell you what. i haven't heard the president mentioned using the military to go into business, having been border patrol's representative under the last administration where trump was our president. i was border patrol's point man. coordinates all major events in

the united states whether it is hurricanes or earthquakes or natural disasters. we won't use these military folks in an enforcement role. they may drive the tension buses. they may provide detention services. they may also be flying people back to their home countries. the language that gentlemen u used. their services may be used. if we have utilized them before. it's not new to us here at the border. >> sandra: thank you very mu much. >> thanks, god bless. p 2 absolutely disturbing to see those images. we want to give our director a chance to pull up the second. robert holden is a new york city councilman on "fox & friends" earlier this morning. he's making the case that these democratic governors and mayors and sanctuary cities. this is a democrat saying that they are shielding criminals and terrorists listen.

>> we have to remember especially in new york city, 9/11. we didn't communicate. nypd didn't communicate with obviously federal agents. that is how the terrorists got in. we need some communications. what we are doing is shielding them. they governors, democratic governors and the mayors of the sanctuary cities are shielding criminals and terrorists. >> sandra: that is quite a warning from a democrat here in new york city. we want that dovetails into what tom homan was telling us. if you are a sanctuary city, i.c.e. is coming for people who have detainers against them. that have been filed against them don't try to stop us, because you will be breaking the law. i don't know if tom homan could actually have charges pressed against them. i think he would probably try. i talked to him about last week. i talked to him almost every day

about how the military will be used. it would be in a support role. not going into business to find people there illegally. they note to a large degree who it is they want to get out of the country. >> sandra: they certainly look like they are going to resist. these deportation efforts. >> john: it is to a large degree shielding criminals as well. we heard about what went on just a little bit west of here on a trail i used to ride my bike on. a guy who was let out of jail a number of times. the trump resistance is coming in all shapes and sizes and from area b and b owners who are trying to send trump voters a message. >> sandra: jaguar still feeling the heat from the new adam beard is trump's win the beginning of the end for all the woke corporate messaging? >> what is jaguar selling to you

>> sandra: we could hear from erik and lyle menedez today soon as they appear in court for the first time in almost three decades. the brothers are serving life sentences for murdering their parents.

give us your big picture thoughts. this is a case so many of us have been watching for so long. your thoughts on the brothers and whether or not you offer us your thoughts on whether or not they should see parole. >> i'm totally fine with them being paroled at this point but not for the reasons that prosecutors stated. they are saying they have been rehabilitated and done their time. so have thousands of people around this great land who are still serving decades in prisons but don't have kim kardashian on their side or netflix special. justice shouldn't hinge on those factors. they should be getting out because newly discovered evidence would have changed those circumstances in your second trial upon which they are convicted. that to me is the legal reason why they should be released. >> sandra: they do have family members coming to their defense. their relatives defending them. there is a second thought. the los angeles deputy says they

should stay in prison. here this out. >> i can tell you without a doubt that they are not the villains they have been pretrade as. they were boys, young, scared and abused by their father in ways no child should ever experience. >> you don't get to execute your parents even if it is true. because previously they molested you. you can't do it. >> sandra: saw many would agree with that over the surface. over the time, people have heard their stories and people have become very empathetic to their story. >> they should be empathetic. it was an abhorrent murder. the mother shouldn't have died. that being said, the judge should have allowed more evidence of molestation. the prosecutors said -- i want to make sure i quoted accurately. he said publicly at the time, be raped as they lack

the equipment to be raped. back then, the judge not knowing what we know now about that case like a newly discovered victim who at the hands of their father was also allegedly molested. and a letter that one of the boys wrote before the killing took place that the molestation was real. if it was known at that time would have allowed this judge to allow the defense to focus more on the molestation -- which could have caused the jurors to come back on a lesser offense. >> sandra: not only did they work on their own self-improvement but they have done a lot to better the life of those around them. we will see if that is enough. we will see. mark, good to have you on. it is an incredible story. we will take a quick break and be right back.

trump's second inauguration approaches, plan to black out certain dates as a form of resistance to trump and his supporters. grady trimble is live and washington on that. is that legal? >> there is a distinct possibility it is not legal. it could violate d.c.'s human rights acts which bars discrimination based on political affiliation. here is an email that an airbnb host sent trying to get them to "show trump supporters who are coming into the dmv that we do not welcome hate, misogyny, or intentions to take over d.c. it calls for owners to either blackout or cancel their rental properties on the day before and the day of the inauguration or to jack up their rates and donate a portion of their proceeds to a nonprofit that supports liberal causes. we reached out to airbnb. they haven't seen a notable uptick in host cancellations and

the nightly rates for the inauguration are typical for periods of higher demand. the company says airbnb and x guests of all political perspectives. we welcome for the inauguration and committed to ensuring that this is their experience on the platform. our policies in terms of service make this clear and if we learn of instances where these are violated, we take action. airbnb points to only four people have signed up for this solicitations. as of right now, and sounds like this is a small but vocal group who do not like president-elect trump. >> sandra: we will be watching for that. could the trump administration spell the end off woke -- the new jaguar ad proves that some companies have learned nothing about what americans value and one for the brands

i'm talking to people. >> john: stand by for a second. i'm sorry, where are we going? >> sandra: we've got some breaking news g right now. special counsel jack smith is seeking to dismiss, dismiss the trump election interference case in washington, d.c. we should note that this was expected. we have been reporting for a few weeks now that this would happen since the doj and not prosecute a sitting president. today, this news brings us one step closer to this case formally being dropped. the judge is going to need approval before anything is officially dismissed as david is reporting. that could come as soon as today. he's got this news for us. >> after almost 2 years of the jack smith saga, themes seem to be ending for him. we need the judge to sign off after thousands of pages and hundreds of hours of interviews, it comes down to six pages.

the special counsel asking the judge to dismiss this superseding indictment. the election interference case in washington, d.c., where donald trump was charged with trying to overturn the results of the 2020 presidential election. ultimately, smith said the doj does not prosecute sitting presidents. this never went to trial. it was supposed to go to trial earlier this year. that never happened. he's asking to dismiss this case. separately, we are waiting to see if and how he is asking to move forward in the documents case in florida. you may say that case was dismissed somewhere. however, jack smith at that time didn't know donald trump is going to win. he filed an appeal with the 11th circuit court of appeals in atlanta. we are told he is also going to be filing something soon winding down that case as well. these cases are not sufficiently

dropped yet. smith is asking the judge who is expected to move along with it and say, we are going to drop this case, because we cannot prosecute a sitting president. separately if i may add, president-elect trump said he would fire jack smith within "two seconds" of taking office. it doesn't appear president-elect trump will have the opportunity to do that. we have been reporting for several weeks now that noon. at some point over the next several weeks, he is going to step down. they will close up the special counsel office. while it was expected, it is certainly a big deal to see that special counsel jack smith who has been a thorn in the side of donald trump for over two years is officially asking a judge to drop his case. >> sandra: on that breaking news progress reading through the government's motion to dismiss this. it reads "the government has

confirmed with the defense counsel who does not object to this motion." big news. >> john: it is. working with a campaign for the last couple of years this is a big topic of discussion. why don't you weigh in about jack smith finally dropping the case? >> among the other prosecutions, they were politically motivated. watching this saga for the last five or six years would come to the same conclusion. you arrive at the idea that donald trump would never have been charged with any of these things in federal court or wereg for president again. if he had not been running for president, none of these things would have been filed. once you arrive at this, it has all been political from the very beginning. never should have been brought in the first place. >> john: we have the new york case. alvin bragg the prosecutor in new york city says that he wants to hold everything until after

trump gets out of office. going to make a decision when he receives the motion to dismiss whether or not to agree to that or whether to go with alvin bragg and hold everything until almost 2030. >> that is ridiculous from something that was politically motivated from is very in session -- i'm going to get donald trump. clearly politically motivated. if he had not decided to run for president again, none of those things would never have been filed. he never would have been charged with anything. >> john: if you want to jump in here. >> sandra: fox news legal editor, your thoughts? >> this was the right decision by the department of justice. we were expecting this. this is because of doj's long-standing policy of not sitting -- a sitting.

for the department of justice and asking for these cases -- the indictment to be dismissed. on the federal indictment of a sitting president is "categorical." that is why we knew this was coming through the department of justice made the right decision. it is also in the best interest of the country giving donald trump's resounding win. >> john: we knew that this was going to happen. it is no surprise. it is interesting to note that after all of this money that was spent out of all this time that was spent, all of the prosecutors and the attorneys that smith had been working for this office and these cases that it gets dropped because of two things. the supreme court decision about immunity and the majority of americans said they like. they don't care what he is accused of doing. they wanted him to be president. eco-your question gets to the wisdom of bringing this case in the first place. you have the january 6 cases.

i have said this many times on air. just because you can do something doesn't mean that you should. they are all kinds of things that -- all kinds of things that an attorney general ways. it's a lot more gray than people realize. you balance the law and what is fair and good for the health of the nation. when you are coming at a former visiting president and the possible future president, you have to be so incredibly car careful. you better hope and your case i should say better be locked solid. no chance of it getting overturned. there is no novel legal theories. the january 6 cases, it wasn't true. they were bringing the law against donald trump in a way it had not been applied before. the supreme court addressed an aspect of the law they were attempting to bring against donald trump and the supreme court said this law that you are using against speech and independence is not a blank

check that you can insert and write into what you wanted to be. that happened in june. you have the supreme court immunity decision. to your point, 50 plus million dollars was spent. the reality is they didn't have to happen in the first place. that is going to be something debated by historians for a long time. >> sandra: jonathan turley going to jump into the conversation with a special news that special counsel jack smith has asked to dismiss the case. the special counsel jack smith team also sought the guidance of the doj's office of legal counsel concluded that the prohibition on the federal indictment of a sitting president is categorical. your reaction to the news. >> this is what we expected. i wrote over a year ago that there was a good chance jack smith would never see the inside of a court room for a trial in this case.

it made this election the largest jury verdict in history himself at odds with his own department's long-standing policy againstitting president. smith did not go quietly into that night. i expect that he didn't get a lot of different opinions hoping for the right one that the olc, the office that handles -- has long taken this position. it would be doubtful that they would change it here. smith had a gratuitous end of his term. he pushed not only for a trial of the election and pushed four months fort. but he also released damaging information before the election. something that many people saw as an effort to influence the election. smith knew that if trump won, he was out of a job.

this release of the information was entirely unnecessary. the judge admitted that it was procedurally irregular. she went along with it. i think that did tarnish his position and certainly in history, because he didn't have to do that. he had become so absolutely fixated on trying trump before the election that he lost credibility with the courts. he went up to the supreme court. they didn't accept that it was the overriding consideration and looking at these legal issues. i think it is also very important to remember that smith's case was riddled with constitutional problems. when the supreme court reached its immunity decision, it was clear that he would have to pare down his indictment. he really didn't do it to the degree that he needed to do. he took a very minimalist approach and removed a few references, a few witnesses that stemmed from the first trump

presidency. a largely repackaged it. some of us said that we thought that it was not enough that if he ever did go to trial he could be reversed just on that basis. >> john: i want to get you to comment on a point just made. that was the fact that jack smith released all of this damning information in september and october leading up to the election. it was almost as if he was hedging against a speech in win. if i can get him in court, i'm going to try to get him in the court of public opinion. >> it is kind of a microcosm of the entire case generally. the case itself was election interference as i have said just a couple of minutes ago. it never would have been brought if donald trump had announced he was running for president a third time. it was actually a rehashing of all the stuff that it been dragged out through the public already. it was an obvious attempt to influence the upcoming election

because he wasn't going to get the trial that he wanted before election day. he did fear that trump was going to win back. that means that he feared the verdict of the american people. what sort of a prosecutor is that when you fear the verdict of the boaters of this country. >> out is that possibly fair to trickled out this information for what would be for political purposes? >> i would never make the case that it was fair. everything he did from the very beginning was unfair. from the beginning of the method of his appointment. a lot of people would argue that he was unconstitutionally appointed to that position, and he should not be the one bringing the charges, should not have brought the charges. imagine the dozens of people who got dragged through this had to hire lawyers to sit in front of jack smith because he had a political vendetta against donald trump. it's being dropped because donald trump won the verdict of the american people.

>> sandra: based on that carrying him everything that tim just said, will there be an investigation of the investigators went president-elect trump takes office? and why this was brought about to begin with. >> there has been reporting that donald trump intends to fire the entire special counsel team. before people gasp at such a movement you have to remember something. i've said this once before on erik burrell to be on a special counsel team is to self select join a special counsel team to look into anyone or any team. why do you raise youested in that. somebody who loves donald trump is not going to raise their hand in order to take him down. donald trump as reason to be concerned about certain employees that are still there at the department of justice and their animus toward him. they have displayed an overt ways and quiet ways as well. as far as the investigation is

concerned, honestly that will be a question for attorney general pam bondi. i really, really hope as awful and horrible as the lawfare has been against donald trump for all of these years and it has been grossly unfair and an abuse of justice and lowered our standards. i would be the first to say t that. i do hope he remains true to his promise that revenge will be a success. my concern is that we are going to further devolve into revenge politics. i don't know where it ends up every single time someone uses the justice department to get the enemy whether it is justified or not. i really hope for the sake of the country in the future that donald trump is able to put aside what has happened to him as awful as it is certainly route out people that shouldn't be there not just because of him but because of biases that prevent them from evenly applying the law. we turn on and turn the page. what has been a dark chapter for the justice system.

>> john: to buttoning this up. we talk about president trump's access will be his revenge. the fact that he is won and the federal courts of law will be his revenge and he doesn't have to go any further. i know that they want to weed out what political operatives there may be within the justice department. this is only on the federal level. revenge politics is very much alive on new york state. the case that judges asked to decide on. what happened with the supreme court with immunity doesn't necessarily translate to the state. >> i think that is right. one of the interesting aspects to this election is that lawfare will have a movement of the center of gravity from washington to the state. date district attorney, state attorney generals are going to have to pick up this effort.

because the g.o.p. will be neutrals of both houses of congress as well as the white house. they are obviously d.a.s like alvin bragg for attorney general's like letitia james were eager to do that. whether they will be successful, i am rather doubtful about that. one of the priorities that trump has and one of the toughest challenges he has will be reforming the justice depa department. this is a department filled with lawyers, obviously. they are smart. they know how to use that sy system. you have to also keep in mind but the memory of this president is of his first term. when he first came into office, the acting attorney general told the entire justice department to stand down and not assist him in pushing his immigration pol policies. in my view, that was an outrageous order given by someone who is planning to leave in a couple of days.

ultimately, trump prevailed on the basis for his immigration policies. the memory that trump has from the very outset that this was the department that seemed to be command central, slowing down everything he was trying to do. i do expect they are trying to make to make fundamental reforms. that is my he picked someone from outside the justice department. of all the agencies, this is the hardest not to crack. it is filled with people who know how to use the law. >> sandra: breaking news. thank you so much for joining us. >> thank you. >> john: four to talk about as the show progresses. let's get back to what we were talking about earlier. some companies didn't seem to get what happened in the united states. maybe they are working for a british audience. the new jaguar and has a lot of

androgyny in it and doesn't even have an automobile and had. it was defended by the jaguar brand manager at brand manager at this virgin atlantic event. listen to what he said. apparently, we don't have it right now. it basically said this is the direction the company is moving in and the way we are going to continue to do it. people are calling this jaguar's bud light. >> this is the column that i wrote about for "the washington times." there were a lot of messages that voters sent in their recent election. jaguar didn't hear it or didn't hear it in time. what voters said is that they want common sense. they want authenticity. i don't want nonsense. they want companies to do what your company say they are going to do. voters can slip out consumers can sniff out people who are phonies. that is what they did with kamala harris. they are telling companies to

stay in their lane. if you are a carmaker, make c cars. >> john: when the social justice things were happening, they had all this advertising and slogans in the front of the story. you are selling yoga pants. stay out of politics. >> disney is another great example. we want a nice fun stories from disney. we want our disney stories to be from far away magical places and not talking about the faculty lounge. state in your lane. do what your company says your company does. if you are a company that is engaged in dei or esg management practices, take it look at who your customer base is. don't get involved in esg or eei -- take a look at what harley-davidson had to learn. bud light is the prime example. john deere compensating their ceos based on metrics of dei and esg managementbuy
