>> president trump: it was really an invasion. we will not allow our territory to be violated after four long years. >> sandra: there have been more than 380 arrests in the last 24 hours of known terrorists, rapists, murders, and illegal aliens in this country who have committed heinous crimes. >> going to target the most egregious public safety threats, but absolutely right now is 100% the worst first. >> sandra: wow, president trump's immigration crackdown moving full speed ahead, and i.c.e. rounding up criminal migrants coast to coast and in boston, and fox news has an

exclusive look at that. and that is coming un, and heading to the second hour, and i'm sandra smith, good to be with you. john. >> john: there's more to come, and i'm john roberts in washington. deadly gang members, deadly suspects, criminals and those with lengthy rap sheets, and i.c.e. is calling a worst-first approach. nearly 500 arrests have been been made since the raids began. >> sandra: and the new york post covering it with "the i.c.e. man cometh," and paul mauro is standing by in our studio. he'll have l live analysis. >> first, bill melugin has been riding along. what is unfolding? >> i.c.e. is incredibly surgical, and they build intelligence on the targets for a week or two and learning when and where they'll be, and they

go out and grab them. it's usually all over in a minute or so, and we got to see that firsthand and embedded exclusively with i.c.e. here in boston yesterday. take a look. >> good morning, everyone. >> reporter: it's a frigid 5% fin the predawn hours outside of boston where this elite i.c.e. team of officers is briefing on the targets for the day. >> targeting extremely violent offenders today. >> reporter: within moments, the officers are on the move with eyes on the first target. >> movement of a target vehicle coming out. >> reporter: they quickly take him into custody. he's an ms-13 gang member wanted in el salvador for aggravated murder. and he has a interpol red notice out. >> we are targeting threats to the community. >> one of the threats is this i illegal alien from haiti.

[siren] >> i.c.e. boston quickly takes down its next targets, including this illegal alien from brazil who has an interpol red notice for robbery. and this salvadorian charged with rape and released by the sanctuary jurisdictions, and this illegal alien charged with deadly assault with a weapon and heroin trafficking, and officers arrested this guatemalan ms-13 gang member facing charges and i.c.e. says he was released the day before and the detainer request ignored because of sanctuary policies and in a sign of shifting priorities with the new trump administration, this man who was in the same apartment as the target was also arrested after i.c.e. determined he's also in the u.s. illegally. this is what i.c.e. calls collateral. >> you guys got your main target just now, but you got somebody

else. what happened? >> the main target was released by a sanctuary jurisdiction, not honoring the detainer. that person was released back into the community. and when we went to go find him, he's with somebody else who was previously removed from the united states. so he's going to go today, too. >> reporter: that is exactly what border czar tom homan has warned would happen. >> when we find the bad guy, he's probably with others. others that are in the united states illegally. they may not be a criminal priority but we're not walking away from them. >> i.c.e. boston says they will continue to go in sanctuary jurisdictions and do their job. >> today was a good day. today we took several significant threats out of our communities. originally a lot were released by sanctuary policies. but we're here to tell the commonwealth and the rest of the country that we're going to find them whether they are released or not. >> reporter: guys, just a note on the blurring in the story, we decided to hide the faces of the

i.c.e. officers because many of them work under cover. as for the targets they were going after, we blurred their faces if they had have been charged with crimes but not convicted yet. only showing faces if someone has been convicted of the crime. do want to point out during the arrest of the illegal i willianm dominican, one woman came out and said thank you for making the arrest. and i.c.e. officers say you're welcome. and shows in sanctuary cities like this, there are people thing fawlthankful for the i.c.e work they do. and getting the bad apples out of the community. >> and the sanctuary cities where they presented a national security threat weren't going to do anything about it. thank you, bill. terrific. sandra. >> sandra: paul mauro is with us, and fox news contributor, and retired nypd officer, and amazing look that bill melugin showed us, and the 33 hours of 3

hours of the administration, 500 arrests. and criminals with many charges, and including battery, child abuse, fraud, resisting arrest, fraud, vandalism. is there anybody who doesn't think these should be absolutely first on the list and deported out of the country? >> i think ultimately, yeah, the mayor of boston, and the mayor of san francisco, mayor of portland, seattle -- all of the city level jurisdictions that are saying we're sanctuary and we're not going to cooperate. here is where the rubber hits the road: will they obstruct? because you'll get to the point -- right now, picking up the low hanging fruit, and the worst is first, as they say. what happens when they want to go in detention facilities and say you have a guy in there and we want this guy for whatever reason and we're going to pull

him out. are they going to obstruct? some jurisdictions say no -- i'm not talking about schools. i'm talking about jails. that is where the rubber hits the road. what jumped me out from bill's excellent reporting the red notices, and interpol has red notice, and red notice means there's a warrant out for you and i go back to the rachel morin, and that perp is going to trial in april, and he had a red notice, and hit our border three times, and how did he let them go, he came in the country, and allegedly accused of killing the poor woman in maryland. >> sandra: this is chicago resident, an example of a chicago resident who has been dealing with this huge problem in that city. this was "fox and friends" earlier. >> we understand that we are in the middle of an invasion and every single person who came across that border came with an

invoice on their back for the chicago taxpayer. nobody else gets to be shielded from federal crime, and neither do they. we need everybody to go back to where they belong so we can reallocate the tax funds to the citizens of the city. >> sandra: takes you whack to bo the local council meetings and people are fed up, and saying come do this. >> and every cop has the story, and go up noise complaint, and low level, and knock on the door, in a housing project, whatever it is, and handle the job, and as you leave, the old woman down the hall opens the door and says they're dealing guns in the apartment over there. most people in every neighborhood, i don't care where it is, they want to be safe, support the police, and don't want to be prisoners in their own neighborhood. the problem is they're not the loudest people. the loudest minority, the small percentage, the aoc's of the school, and that we'll be in the schools, and dragooning people

out of there, and the whole population is living in fear, it's not adequate. how far, new york city settled $92 million for detaining illegal migrants, and nassau county is facing the same thing, $60 million. the jurisdictions are being lawyered into being in defensive mode, and as a result, gang bangers, ms-13, child abusers, and running around operating with immunity. >> and chicago mayor is doubling down, and saying everyone is welcome here, and welcoming city and we want to ensure that people have full protection under the law in the city, and you feel for the residents asking for help, and paul, if you can stand by for a moment, and we want your reaction to another big story. >> it was a big day in court for idaho suspect as his defense team tries to get all of the

evidence clone out of court, and he is charged in the massacre of 4 university students, and dan springer is live in boise, idaho, what is happening so fa? >> yeah, john, the hearing started three hours ago, and it's all sealed and no live stream from the court, and we aren't able to see and hear the arguments being made that ultimately shapes where it goes when it gets to here in boise, and we know it's a hearing on 12 motions made by bryan kohberger's defense team, and in the filings, they argue that all of the evidence collected should be thrown out because it was billbuilt on a house of cards, a relativelily new police cool called investigative genology, and it's taking dna on the crime scene, and found on a knife sheath discovered next to two of the bodies, and compared to family dna, and given willingly

to learn about the genology, and allows people to build a family tree and solve criminal cases. >> it's a tremendous reply ly powerfultool, and of course s and police want to use it. it's whether or not it passes legal muster which is yet to be scene. >> the technology took off in 2018 after it was used to solve the decades old golden killer case, and i could find two cases where it was a motion to suppress, and it failed, and they were both convicted. and idaho recognize the analysis and holding is great preference is made to the magistrate's determination for probable cause. the search of his person was pursuant to a valid search warrant issued by a layta idaho

county magistrate based on probable cause, and we are not expecting a ruling on the judge on the critical issue for all of the motions to suppress evidence for another couple of weeks. john. >> john: dan springer in boise, thank you for this. sandra. >> sandra: and paul is back with us, and paul mauro, what is the result of this? >> you go in the police database, and pull out the data and it's in there and it doesn't go to the specific perp. in this case, bryan kohberger, it goes 1 or 2 off, relative, and sometimes quite distance. a second cousin twice removed. from that, a host of possibles, and sometimes as many as twenty or thirty, and now the gum shoe work, and you have to figure out which one of these people is potentially related to the dna found at the scene. in this case, they reportedly got back to the father, and the dna came back to the father, and said who is related to this particular person that could be in the area of where these crimes occurred.

low and behold, default to the son, and say it could be our guy. here is the fly in the ointment for the defense. reportedly, that is not how they ultimately developed probable cause to arrest bryan kohberger. the time line is fuzzy, but they had other information that he was the perp, and the search warrants executed at his home in pennsylvania and the arrest all came independent of this. that's already been decided by the first judge in this case when it was when they had a change of venue, and they relegateed and ultimately i think it's a deadend, and as the reporting said, it is upheld in the court and it was a standing issue it was not your dna, it was a relative's dna and i think it will pass muster, and i mentioned rachel morrin, that's how they got that perpetrator. it's new technology, and the law is cutting edge, and we're going

to get there. this is something that law enforcement needs. >> sandra: you're so good at this, thank you for what you do. john. >> john: and so the senate floor, and john ratcliffe has the votes necessary to become the next cia director to be confirmed to that position. 65 yes votes to 22 no votes. we expect there is another 13, 14 votes outstanding. he is well over the 51-vote threshold needed to be confirmed. he will become the next director of the central intelligence agency. we'll keep watching that vote and have a final tally for you as soon as it's over. >> sandra: we will indeed and the trump administration will stop covid funding, and will it affect the ability to counter pathogens, we are going to ask that of senator rand paul. he is the senator joining us next.

>> john: the trump administration is working on an executive order to stop funding of so-called gata function virus. and criticing like the next guest has linked it to the origins of covid-19. and bringing in kentucky senator rand paul, homeland security chairman, and first reaction to john ratcliffe having the votes to be cia director, and the fact that the democrats are slow-walking the nominees. >> i don't think they'll make a significant point that the public is going to rally to and the president won an election and deserves to have confirmations on his nominees, and marco rubio, and now john

ratcliffe, and pete hegseth in a couple of hours, and he will win and it will be close and kristi noem will win after that. and i don't know anybody they will block. delaying shows petulance but doesn't show any patriotism. >> john: let's get back to the halting at least temporarily gain-of-function research. do you think it should be stopped altogether, senator or more guardrails? >> i'm for a ban on gain-of-function research ban. in the law, we create a committee of scientists, nine scientists have the ability to look at the dangerous research and the ability to take money away from it or deny funding for it and on a one by one basis in case there is some research that is deemed to be healthy and exceptional. i can tell you as a category, though, most of the people if

you take something like ebola or corona virus and mixing it together with an unknown and then running it through cell lines that have mice with human lungs, you're gaining and functioning and make something more infectious and you don't know the outcome. that's a crap shoot and shouldn't have been done in wuhan and shouldn't be done in unsafe labs and should be scrutinized. we need more scrutiny. i'm pleased that trump has a temporary ban and i'm going to try to get him to pass my bill, the risky research review act in the meantime. >> this is something you have been concerned about, and i want to flash back four years when you had the testy exchange with anthony fauci. >> you are fooling with mother nature, and viruses created with 15% mortality, and it's a huge mistake to share this with china and a huge mistake to allow to this to continue in the united

states. >> again, we have not funded gain-of-function research on this virus in the wuhan research of technology. >> john: you have said that fauci should go to prison over his dishonest disregarding the covid-19 virus and the gain-of-function research, and he is protected by a preemptive presidential pardon. >> histohistory is going to juds harshly. by accepting the pardon, he is accepting the guilt, he is accepting culpability, and he made the decision to bypass and avoid the safety committee without review, and it's not a one-off. for over a decade, anthony fauci said the risks of a pandemic occurring were worth the benefit of the knowledge. most other scientists disagree with that. but the idea that we could do anything to any virus and if it

escapes, oh, well, oops too bad, the knowledge is worth it. it's not. there are viruses that could kill 50% of humanity. we should not trying to aerosolize ebola or the avian flu or make it easier to transmit avian flu among humans. right now the biggest benefit is avian flu can get into humans, but not going human to human. if you work in a lab with the avian flu, you can probably make the virus go human to human with intended or intentional mutamutationand thattal disasted anthony touchi is wrong about this and will be judged harshly. >> and keeping the count of ratcliffe, and 80% of the votes, and 73 yes votes to 25 nos. donald trump appears to have inherited a national security threat, the degree to which did not exist in his first term, here's what the chairman of your

committee, homeland security had to say -- sorry, chairman of the house homeland security. he said the new orleans terror attack is a stark reminder that the threat to america is alive and exists and the blunders the last four years, and jihadist networks abroad remain committed to radicalizing radicals on american soil. he warned about this four years ago, and how much occurred over the past four years, and how difficult of a task does president trump have ahead of him to try to turn it around? >> i wouldn't blame all of this on biden. the open border i blame on biden. the fact that terrorists may have come across the border. the particular terrorist in new orleans was homegrown, wasn't an immigrant, wasn't here illegally. they are harder to stop and i'm

not sure it's worse than 9/11. is it a problem? absolutely. we have to be careful, do we have to do everything to stop as much as we can to stop it? i'm not sure it can be blamed on biden. we have to do what we can to stop. >> john: and thank you, senator. 74 yea for ratcliffe, and 25 no, and thank you for this, appreciate you joining us. >> thank you. >> sandra: after weeks of intense fighting and new wildfires are erupting in california and an update on the l.a. county fire captain on the conditions on the ground. that's next. >> and cleanup in the south after record snow. some folks aren't too concerned. wait until you see what a snowball fight between nuns looks like. that is coming up.

sandra. >> sandra: we there. and another wildfire is breaking out in southern california. it began just a couple hours ago, and quickly spreading as you can see. there are constant efforts to contain this. this after two other infernos began spreading yesterday, and they are trying to contain the fires and the chaos 16 years ago, and bringing in the captain of the los angeles fire department, sheila kelliher sheila kelliher,thank you for j. this is a stunning inferno. >> it is in a good position where they have some air attack on that and they should make quick work of the fire and the conditions and our crews made work on castaic fire that exploded and the coordination on

the ground and the dozer and the air attack helped to knock the heat out of that, and pushed it away major ca canyon and kept it away from residential areas, and that fire was moving incredibly fast yesterday. >> sandra: captain, three new wildfires, people wonder if there is any end in sight for all of you. >> i hope friday when this wind stops. this red flag warning is no joke. we have some of the lowest relative humidity that we've had 15 -- of over here 7%. incredibly dry fuel moisture, and there's a lot of fuel as well as the winds gusting upwards of 60 miles an hour in some of the passes. >> sandra: what are we calling the fire out of camarillo, the laguna fire, is that correct? >> again, with all of the interviews i'm doing, i'm just getting word of the laguna fire. >> you're just getting word of it. it's north and west of you. have you -- >> correct. >> sandra: have you heard about how big that is?

any idea of size -- >> if the images you have are accurate and current, you're looking at 50 acres right there, and it looks like they have a lot of resources surrounding that. so... just based on what i'm seeing. >> sandra: speaking of resources, to contain these other fires, what is needed right now? >> we have what we need. we've got a lot of equipment in this area and a lot of equipment has surged over to help us on the castaic fire from the eaton fire as well as the palisades fire. we have a robust air attack which is really important because they are really facilitating the extinguishment of this fire with the fire retardant jobs, and the fixed wings dropping all day, and the helicopters flew all night and the heli tankers, and the winds are not strong enough where we are grounding them and that's where we make the biggest progress with the dozers on the ground and the hand crews. >> sandra: got it. as far as the firefighters are

concerned, we had one on at the top of the last hour and he said morale is good, people are strong. wiare you getting the same sense in people have got to be exhausted. >> absolutely. there is fatigue across all of los angeles county and southern california with the fires. however, the boots on the ground are fresh. they've got a great system of rotating in. fresh firefighters who have at least 24 hours rest. that's really helpful and critical. i think some of the people that we're concerned about are our families who are worried for us and have been our support system along with our ad min staff and all of the support and logistic people that really back up the fires from the ground up. i know they have put in incredibly long hours for almost last three weeks. >> sandra: weather is going to be everything as you mentioned at the top. captain, thank you for joining us. appreciate it. our best to you and your firefighters. >> thank you. >> sandra: fox corporation made $1 million donation to the red cross as california wildfires relief efforts and continues to be annual disaster and, program partner, and enables the red cross to respond immediately to disasters by providing safe shelters, hot

meals, and emotional support and resources to aid and recovery. here is how to help. ... go.fox/redcross or scan the qr code on the screen, and there are new fires they are trying to fight in addition to these fires. john. >> john: they are doing their best, and doing extraordinary work. and back to the senate, and john ratcliffe confirmed as the next director of the cia and looks like 21 democrats voted for him. the big question is how many republicans will vote for pete hegseth for secretary of defense? there will be a test vote coming up in the senate in a while and we're following that. if the test vote is on right now, actually. we'll keep monitoring that, and aishah hasnie joins us how from capitol hill. >> and john ratcliffe's train

left the station, and they can bring in pete hegseth's train, and this is not the confirmation vote today. that will happen tomorrow. the vote we are seeing right now is overcoming the filibuster, and the threshold they have to meet is a simple majority. 51 votes. it's a critical vote for pete hegseth. because it will tell us how his final official confirmation vote is going to go. talking to senators, and talking to republican senators, it sounds like they have the 50 that they need. i spoke with chairman of the armed services committee who is in charge of pete hegseth's confirmation, roger wicker, i asked him do you still have the 50 even though you lost lisa murkowski on pete hegseth. he said yes. they do believe they will have the 50 to get through this. now will they have the 51 that they need? we don't know that yet. again they could lose susan collins, as well, they could lose mitch mcconnell.

if that is the case and they lost 3, they will have to bring in vice president j.d. vance to come and break the tie. we've seen that before with biden nominees when they were always bring in vice president kamala harris to break the tie. that might be what we see here with some of these more controversial nominees from president trump. so this is a very critical moment here in time because pete hegseth is probably watching this very closely because this is going to tell us how his confirmation vote is going to go. if we're even going to have a confirmation vote, he has to get over this hump first. but again, once they do, if they can, get over the filibuster, they will set up a vote for tomorrow night. and it would happen tomorrow night, john, because we've been talking about this all day, democrats are jamming up the senate. they are invoking that 30-hour debate rule. normally the two sides will come to an agreement -- it's called a time agreement here in congress. and they would just agree, you

know what, we're going to skip that. we're going to skip all of the process. we're going to get right to the vote because we know we have the votes. but democrats are making this very painful for republicans. they do not want them to swiftly confirm any of these more controversial nominees. they're going to make them debate it out on the floor. so watching this vote very, very closely to see what pete hegseth's fate really is. >> john: senator chris murphy invoked the 30-hour debate rule over ratcliffe's nomination. the fact that he got close to a couple dozen dem democratic vot, what does it say about murphy's tactic? >> there was a lot of talk about whether murphy was free-lancing here, senate republicans told me they believe they had an agreement with chuck schumer on a time agreement. they thought they'd go right into the vote because he has bipartisan support. there are democratic colleagues that wanted to vote for him and they did today, as we saw that. so they were a little confused as to what was happening with

chris murphy. but then i asked chuck schumer about it today, i said did you know about it, do you support it, that he's doing this even with the bipartisan nominees that you guys support and he said he does support it. he said this is what they're going to do with every single nominee that does not have unanimous support. so we're going to be here a very long time. it's going to be a very slow process in the san national, john. >> .-- in the senate. >> john: in the meantime, the president doesn't have his national security team in place. appreciate it. sandra. >> sandra: a judge consula judge callingpresident t citizenship executive order unconstitutional and is blocking it.

[ ♪ ♪ ] >> john: federal judge in

washington state temporarily blocking president trump's executive order to end birthright citizenship. the ruling coming down last hour. this was the first of several legal challenges to trump's day 1 order. fox news legal editor kerri urbahn was here when the news broke, and she is sheer to talk more about it. here is what they said about judge john coughenour order said, and it it is blatantly unconstitutional. frankly he said he... you go back to 1868, it's what coughenour said. >> no one is talking about this? it's not the in aclu brief, and they go back to the senator who

was giving speeches and said at the time this does not include he'llens. that was a known -- he'llens and that was a known thing. the reason that birthright citizenship is a thing because as i said earlier because of the decision by the supreme court and as i explained earlier, the time was very different. the court, the high court there specifically emphasized that the parents of the chinese national who wanted his u.s. citizenship, he had been born here had been, quote, permanently domicileed here and at the time, his parents were legally here. it was almost impossible for chinese nationals to become citizens. i think there's a way to distinguish what the culture is now, like i said earlier, there's a birth tourism industry, and the judge said he's never made those arguments. the person arguing those is a respected constitutional law attorney and a former colleague of mine. it is a little hard to believe that the judge says he's never heard anyone make these when people like richard pozner has

been saying for years it's not constitutional. >> john: you and i talked about this when you were last here, though not on the air, and the clause in the 14th amendment was written with ambiguity. why wouldn't he have a written it more clearly? >> because i think we are looking at it in 2025 lens and at the time, they were saying that african americans were not citizens, and this was written to say people who have been here hundreds of years, and to deny them citizenship and the math that comes with that is ridiculous, and when he made the speech, the senator who wrote it said obviously it doesn't include aliens because it was obvious. everyone understood was -- no one was thinking of china charging people or businesses in
