we put our foot on the gas and we're going to go. anybody in the country illegally, we're going go after them, and in a way that makes sense, the worst first. >> john: border czar tom homan with us earlier and the trump administration moves full speed ahead with the illegal immigration crackdown, and i.c.e. conducting raids in chicago with homan on hand and the agency has another sanctuary city in mind for the next wave of operations. welcome back as "america reports" rolls into a second hour. i'm john roberts in washington. good to be with you again, sandra, to start another week. >> sandra: you, as well, john. i'm sandra smith in new york and i.c.e. racked up nearly a thousand arrests in chicago yesterday, and not the only agency getting involved, and at least 11 of them are playing a key active role, and dea agents in colorado say they arrested 50 people in a party hosted by venezuela violent gang tren de

aragua. >> we found drugs, and multiple drugs, and found quite a lot of money and several weapons, as well, and in addition 40 -- approximately 50 people had been detained by i.c.e. and transferred to the i.c.e. detention facility. >> john: in minutes we will speak with joseph humire, who has written a detailed report on how to take them down. >> sandra: but right now, more from chicago. how are the operations unfolding out there and where are they headed next? >> well, sandra, there was a major operation here in chicago yesterday. tom homan was on the ground and a dhs official tells me the next stop is going to be new york city, and tom homan tells fox news that yesterday's sting removed multiple national security threats from the streets here in chicago. that includi aggravated sex offenders, child predators,

convicted murders and members of the tda gang. and homan praised the sweeping operation, fbi, dea, i.c.e., all involved and on the ground was top acting u.s. attorney general here. and homan tells fox it helps to have him on the ground when they arrest gang members that are selling firearms that have switches that make them into automatic weapons. this afternoon, the front a page of the "chicago tribune" reads" we are terrified" and reports of local churches and schools targeted. homan tell fox news that homes

schools and churches are not targeted. and saying it makes sense that it makes them think they could be arrested in schools and churches. and the ceo pedro martinez of the school ceo wrote on x. and writing on x saying... [reading on screen tweet] and it was an arrest by the fbi to arrest someone who made threats against president trump, and they say that governor pritzker owes an apology to

president trump. >> and we bring in our guest, joseph humire, you have written a report on heritage.org, and here's what you said, documented presence the tda is terrorizing communities throughout america and the tren de aragua is a tool in countries and maintaining plausibility d deniability. and you're saying it's not just a bunch of people engaging in criminal activity, they're doing it at the behest of the maduro regime. >> absoluteabsolutely, and witha and cartel, they're not working like cartels, they are working as weapons of warfare, and invading territory, and steal the sovereignty of countries throughout the western hemisphere, and tda is the

latest, and we see the mexican cartels, and ms-13 and president trump dignitariesed those organizations as terrorist organizations and for the longest time fighting terrorism was a top priority of the united states, and fighting the cartels has to be a priority because they are working with terrorists, and he mentions concepts that were once only discussed in the intelligence community and the academic world and now at the front of the executive power and i think we're going to use all of the elements of national power to go after them. >> tom homan was sitting where you were an hour ago and said offcamera that is why the president is invoking the alien enemy act. >> and there is incursion and infiltrating a foreign country sent by another country. and they go into the country any

and go from one state and spreading into other states on steroids, and it is weaponized to bring down the united states. and now a night and day difference, and tom homan and president trump are taking the fight to the cartels and doing it in a smart way. >> here is what tom homan said about the enforcement actions against tda actions over the weekend. >> yesterday i can tell you during the operation we arrested tda members, more than 9 tren de aragua members, and they are criminally prosecuteed and one selling weapons, and illegal alien gang member in the united states selling illegal guns to other gang members and some had what they called switch, the switch is added to the gun to make it fully automatic. and turns a glock handgun into semi automatic. >> john: here's what you wrote about enforcement, and arrest them in american cities, and what to do with them is a problem. and quote, deporting violent

migrants is a priority and a challenge given the maduro regime doesn't accept deportation flights, and it must be known that ther... [reading off the screen] and you are caught between the rock and a hard place. and this is a gang that grew out of the venezuelan prison system and they'll do it here in america. >> absolutely. we have to be creative with the diplomatic solutions and it will take a whole of government approach, and it will be tom homan and secretary of defense pete hegseth and all of the members of the trump administration to come up with a solution. we have to apply the principle of burden sharing and share the burden of all of the members and agreements with el salvador and

other countries and send the gang members to another country. >> john: if you're in el salvador or guatemala, why would you take tda members in? >> you have lessons learn and how to take care of the gang members. >> if tu you're a tda member, yu don't want to go to el salvador and you watched what the president did there. and there is a signaling mechanism, and this is peace through strength. showing strength through all of the gangs in the country, making them on notice, and knowing they are not able to do their weapons of mayhem anymore. >> it's a comprehensive report that you have written. if you want to look it up. it's on heritage.org. really good reading. thank you. >> thanks, john. >> there were a lot of younger people who said, you know, this is a government vaccine. at least government-funded and they don't completely trust the government. imagine that. and on principle they said we don't want to take the vaccine. >> sandra: president trump making good on his promise to

reinstate service members kicked out of the military for opting out of the covid vaccine. jennifer griffin is reporting live from the pentagon. what did the new defense secretary say before his first day on the job. >> well, sandra, it's already been a very busy day at the pentagon, and defense secretary pete hegseth was met on the steps by chairman of the joint chiefs, general c.q. brown. >> today there are more executive orders coming and we fully support on removing dei inside the pentagon, reinstating troops who were pushed out because of covid mandate. iron dome for america. this is happening quickly. >> an executive order for a new space based missile defense shield for the u.s. homeland. another executive order is expected to ban transgender troops from serving in the military according to the new york post and could impact

14,700 transgender troops serving according to the palm center whose research military officials pointed us to, and executive order to reindate with back pay the 8,000 troops separated from service for refusing to take the vaccine during the pandemic and congress forced the biden administration to rescind the mandate in 2023 when the u.s. navy reached out to all 1,878 sailors who had been separated. only 2 wanted to rejoin the navy. >> fighters are ready to go. there's an emergency at the southern border. >> the new defense secretary used the prior names for two bases named after confederate generals whose named were changed by congress in 2020. and issued this order barring diversity, equity, and inclusion from the pentagon. hegseth was asked whether he planned to follow through with threats he made before becoming defense secretary to fire general c.q. brown. >> right now. looking forward to working with him. thank you. >> still an open question about

the fate of the pentagon's inspector general. one of the 17 independent i.g.'s fired by president trump this weekend. he was senate confirmed. 92-3. and recently oversaw highly critical reports on defense secretary austin's secret hospital stay. gaps in oversight over u.s. weapons to ukraine. and other waste and abuse at the pentagon. sandra. >> sandra: jen griffin, live on that. big news all around. and thank you very much. john, this affects a lot of people. when it comes to reinstating those that lost their jobs because of not taking the vaccine in the back pay, too, a huge story for all of those people. >> yeah, and in particular, when you think about where we are with the vaccine right now compared to where we were three, four years ago. >> sandra: yeah. >> john: it seems wholly unfair that they would have lost their jobs because they refused to take the vaccine for whatever reasons that they did. because there are a lot of people who say they'll never take another vaccine ever again. it will be interesting to see what happens with general c.q.

brown. he has another two and a half years left on his term. president trump talked about replacing him. hegseth seemed to indicate that he was looking forward to working with him. we'll see what happens. >> sandra: we will. >> john: i've had an opportunity to spend time with him. he's a good guy. president trump has not given up his fight to redefine birthright citizenship. where is the legal battle headed next? we'll cover that for you. >> sandra: it's only been a week, but trump has made some major changes. is there more to come in former will joi n us next. vers, and what matters most to them matters most to us. it's no wonder we have a 4.9 out of 5 client satisfaction rating. ameriprise financial. watch your step! that's why visionworks makes it simple to schedule an eye exam that works for you. even if you have a big trip to plan around. thanks! i mean, i can see you right now if that's...convenient.

the trump administration's raids. >> i want to say i'm so sorry for all of my people being attacked. the children. they don't understand. i'm so sorry. i wish i could do something, but i can't. i don't know what to do. i'll try and be there for this. >> sandra: that video has gone viral and it was on her instagram. it's -- has since come down. stories last 24 hours. it's down from her account. but we had tom homan, the border czar at the top of 1 o'clock hour, and we asked him to react to that. he said this. >> i don't think we arrested any families. we arrested national security threats and public safety threats, bottom line.

if you don't like it, go to congress and change the law. we're going to do the -- this operation without apology. and once we lock the border, you'll see fentanyl deaths decrease, and alien illegal crime decrease, and sex trafficking decrease, and it's all for the good of the nation and we're going to keep going. no apologies, we're moving forward. >> sandra: it's getting a lot of reaction as you can imagine, john, and the whole social media atmosphere, that can go viral and you have to be reminded that the majority of americans support the deportation for threats from criminals, the members of the tren de aragua gang, and i notice she has not put the video back up. but a lot of people are talking about it. >> john: maybe she discovered that tren de aragua members are, quote, not her people. i don't know. but... i just can't figure out the whole social media thing. it's because i'm old, i know. i just don't get why you post a video of yourself crying. >> you know, there was a question asked by someone who

worked in the first trump administration, they were asked if she shed tears for laken riley. the question, where was she, the university of georgia nursing student was killed by someone who shouldn't be here in the first place, and they say the targets of the raids are people like that, criminal records, members of a violent gang. >> john: i will only get myself in trouble if i comment on somebody's social media post. i will only say that tom homan has been on this program many,ment, many times and he sad targeting threats to the national security is the number 1 priority of the trump administration and so far because we've been ride-alongs with them in various cities across the country, and in boston, and there with them in chicago. the people that i.c.e. is arresting are people who you probably would not want living in your neighborhood because they're engaged in crime. and you heard what joseph humire

said all of the tren de aragua members are acting at the behest of the maduro regime, and the glgoal is to destabilize the united states of america. i would posit that you don't want that. >> it's all part of the plan pitched to voters, and they elected the new president to do. >> john: all right. i promise i will never, ever, put on my feed any crying. president trump is continuing his fight to change birthright citizenship. the justice department reworking its argument after a ruling last week temporarily blocking trump's executive order. brbrett tolman with react to tht and first, david spunt with reaction to all of this. how are they trying to fight the challenge? >> the old-fashioned process through the courts, and maybe up to the supreme court, and you

could do it and get rid of birthright citizenship by amending the 14th amendment of the extrusion, and they want to do it through the courts. here's what they said yesterday. >> when you come on vacation and have a baby in an american hospital, that baby doesn't company an american citizen, and if you come here temporarily, hopefully your child does not become an american citizen by virtual of having been born on american soil. >> last week, the foarl federale in seattle swiftly blocked the motion to block the birthright citizenship, and he put a freeze on that order and 22 states sued in separate lawsuits. >> this is step 1, but to hear the judge from the bench say in his 40 years as a judge he has never seen something to blatantly unconstitutional sets the tone for the seriousness of this effort. >> this restraining order sets the administration on a likely

path to the supreme court. last week, house republicans introduced a bill to end birthright citizenship, and even if that became law, it might not be enough. as i said, it's in the 14th amendment adopted in 1868. it reads in part... [reading quote on the screen] they believe they can win this case. there is a hearing next week in seattle on the merits of this case before that same seattle judge. john. >> john: well, senator jacob howard who is the man who talked about the 14th amendment saying it clearly doesn't apply to foreigners in the country, and foreign diplomats and things and kerri urbahn said we're looking at what happened in 1868 through a 2025 lens. it's difficult to square the

circle in the courts. >> sandra: bringing in brett tolman, the former attorney general for utah and state prosecutor. where do you think it goes? >> sandra, john, thank you for having me on. i will tell you this is a fascinating issue. it's ironic to hear folks on the left argue that this is blatantly unconstitutional. you saw biden issue executive order after executive order that was clearly out of step with the law and with precedent, and what was their answer? the answer is we're allowed to test it. there is some accuracy to that. they can test the limits of the law and refine it. in this instance, subject to the jurisdiction has exceptions to it. and we know that. so this is a perfect test for the supreme court to actually give us guidance. what does it mean? because it was not anticipated that it meant that everybody that stepped foot in the united states, if they had a child, that that child would immediately become a citizen.

so that's why we need the supreme court. >> sandra: okay. on this attempt, senator lindsey graham went on the sunday show "meet the press" over the weekend and said this. >> i think there's a good chancd legislation to end birthright citizenship years ago. it's a magnate for illegal immigration, and here's what i learned this, i didn't know. there are over 250,000 people born in this country to illegal immigrants and got the benefit of birthright citizenship. that's 7% of all of the babies born in the country. it's a cheap way to award citizenship, and i don't think you should be a citizen simply because you're born here. >> he, obviously, the senator sees a sound legal argument here, bret. >> t. >> there is. there is a legal argument that needs to be explored. we make exceptions, you referenced the diplomat comes over, and they received the individual is not subject to the jurisdiction of the united states. the same can be argued -- the legal argument is there to say an individual that is a citizen

of another country is not subject, necessarily, to our jurisdiction just because they were born here. that is fine tuning of that law. sandra, this goes all the way back to an 1800's ruling by the supreme court when there was nothing like what we see now. there is a concerted effort to get into the united states immediately to have the child here in order to take advantage of all that we have in the united states. that is a problem. and we have to address it in the courts. >> sandra: okay, so i want to ask you about officials wasting no time in the justice department rightward shift as it is put in "the wall street journal" replacing a biden era memo inviting prosecutors to show leniency for prosecutions and calling for the serious charges and stiffest penalties for all crime. they halted much of the department civil rights and environmental work and transferred more than 15 career employees to marginal positions. part of a broader effort to

ultimately thin the workforce. that was just the first week. brett, it looks like big changes are happening, and big changes are coming. >> yeah, what is interesting about this is for decades prior obama administration and biden administration, there was a consistency, and the consistency was the department of justice was to pursue the highest provable offences. that's the rule. the policy in the department of justice. obama and biden changed that -- not only did they change that, they then pulled back all of the resources that we have typically seen used to prosecute the most dangerous that come into this country. i prosecuted personally hundreds of these cases of individuals who were very dangerous, who committed crimes -- serious crimes here in the united states, and we with prosecute them and deport them. that stopped. if anyone wants to know why we're in trouble now, it's not because, you know, we want to do

something new. we actually want to do what we were mandated to do for decades in this country in the department of justice, and enforce the rule of law at our borders. >> sandra: brett, always good to have you on. thank you very much. >> thank you. >> sandra: john. >> a chinese a.i. app sandra is sending u.s. stocks reeling. why it's raising concerns over american dominance in a.i. >> sandra: plus pulling back the curtains on the origins of covid. what the cia now says was the likely cause of the pandemic. we're breaking it down with one of john ratcliffe's highest ranking former deputies. >> it's been clear for me for five years, and it's clear to many people, the cia, the fbi, the department of energy, and most people around the world that by far the most likely origin of covid-19 is a lab accident in wuhan. i brought in ensure max protein with 30 grams of protein. those who tried me felt more energy in just two weeks! —uh. —here i'll take that.

>> sandra: this from the cia, the agency releasing a report suggesting covid most likely started from a lab leak in china. we have more in washington and she has more on that. alex, why has more evidence come now? why now? >> this came from a deeper examination of existing intelligence. a spokesperson tells fox that the cia assesses with low confidence that a research related origin of the covid-19 pandemic is more likely than a neutral origin based on the available body of reporting and john ratcliffe points out the updated cia assessment was not influenced by politics. the timely came down to him getting on the job and releasing the information. choosing to declassify it the first day on the job, actually. agreeing with president trump that americans deserve transparency. >> the purpose of the cia is to protect americans, to keep us safe from foreign threats and

foreign adversaries, but we need to be o't truthful to americansd he has stressed to me these are not mutually exclusive missions. >> for years, the cia said it didn't have enough evidence to make a determination on the origin of covid. and those that floated the lab leak cast off by the mainstream as conspiracy peddling, and dr. anthony fauci denied information he tried to suppress information to get americans to believe as he did, that the virus came from the animal. >> i feel from the more likely, not definitive, but the more likely is a spillover from an animal reservoir. >> the cia joins the fbi and energy department in favoring the lab-leak theory. according to the agency, this could change if the evidence changes. >> sandra: thank you for that.

>> john: sandra cost of living in cliff sims, former national director. >> good to be back. >> john: and here is what john ratcliffe said about the report regarding the origins of covid. >> i had the opportunity on my first day to make public the assessment that took place in the biden administration. so it can't be accused of being political, and it does assess the -- the cia has assessed that the most likely cause of this pandemic that has wrought so much devastation around the world was because of a lab-related incident in wuhan. we will continue to investigate that moving forward. >> john: the assessment is low confidence and the chinese deny it. but it's a big turn around for that agency. >> it's a huge turnaround, and in fact for the past five years, one of the big questions in the national security world is why is the cia continuing to sit on the sidelines. this is the world's preeminent

intelligence agency and the reach outstrips anybody else in the world and the energy department came out and made the assessment before them, and the fbi which is a domestic intelligence service and coming out and making that assessment before the cia and the conclusion that director ratcliffe and i came to and others came to and the biden administration did not want to deal with the geopolitical implications of the cia making such an assessment. we saw the biden administration waffling all over the place during the last four years in terms of their policy towards china and i think it really puts a marker in the ground that this adminstration is just willing to tell the truth about the communist party, about their culpability in covid, and it's a credit to president trump and john ratcliffe o on the first dy that he did, living up to the words that is carved into the

cia headquarters you shall know the truth and the truth shall set you free. >> john: and taking you back to t five years in the east room and i had exchanged with president trump. >> my question is have you seen anything at this point that gives you a high degree of confidence that the wuhan institute of virology was the origin of the virus? president trump president trumpi have, and i think the world health organization should be ashamed of themselves. they're the public relations agency of china. >> john: are you suggesting that may be you have some evidence that this was not a naturally occurring virus? >> president trump: you're talking about the virus and where it came from? >> yeah, yeah. >> president trump: we're going to see where it and where it comes from. >> what gives you the high degree of confidence that this originated from the wuhan institute of virology. >> president trump: i can't tell you that. >> he said he believed it would

happen and he believed this is where it came from and wouldn't tell us why. and back then, anybody who edmembraced the theory of a lab virus was looked at as a tinfoil conspiracy theorist. now this is released by the cia with low confidence. >> i remember tom cotton submitting an op-ed in the new york times and him excoriateed as a racism for thinking this is a possibility. this is a long list of things that donald trump was right about, and we were and all of the intelligence streams we had even then suggested it was the place that the virus had come from. john ratcliffe has said over and over again, the lab-leak theory is the only theory that is supported by the intelligence, by science, and by common sense. i mean, even jon stewart, hardly

a conservative, went on late night talk show at one point, and said, you know if there was an outbreak of chocolatey goodness in pennsylvania, where would we say it came from? maybe the factory down the road, and the virus originating in wuhan, china, and nobody disputes that and the wuhan institute of virology is there, and we're going to act it's not the place it came from. and the cia getting off the sidelines and confirm what we knew all along. >> some things are common sense, and we want to talk about the deepseek program that is roiling the tech markets in the united states and they said they could do it faster and cheaper and, of course the devil is in the details. we talk about the a.i. programs. if you put garbage in and garbage out, and people might want to rethink where they get the information from. and our reporters did querys of deepseek, asked what happening during the 1989 tianamen square

protest. and deepseek, sorry, it's beyond my scope. is xi jinping a good leader, sorry, it's beyond my scope. let's talk about something else, and tell me with the uyghurs, the same question, and is taiwan a question, if you ask gpt or groc, they say it's a sensitive issue, and deepseek says taiwan is an ina inalienable part of c, and it goes on and on and on and on. garbage in, garbage out here. and maybe this is not the great threat that everybody is saying it is. >> well, i find it very interesting that it says that these questions are outside of its scope. it's obvious that the scope of deepseek is whatever xi jinping and the chinese communist party wants it to be. it's disconcerting it's the

number 1 app in the app store and this is not a reliable place to get any meaningful information, and john, i think it's an important moment, and one of the world's most preeminent technologists on twitter, on x today, this is a sputnik moment. and you recall sputnik is when the soviets launched a satellite into orbit before we did and took us by surprise. what you see in the markets today is a reaction to this chinese company's claims that number 1, they have reached this level of capability at a fraction of the cost of what openai and others here in the united states have done and with a fraction of the computing capacity that they did it with. now, that's important. this a.i. race is going to be the defining technology race of the time. so we've got to get the national will to win this. but it's also important to remember the chinese may not be telling the truth about how they pulled it off and with what resources they did it. >> please. do you think the chinese are going to lie to us, cliff?

>> i know you're stunned john. >> john: cliff, good to see you. while i was alive during the sputnik moment, i don't recall it. i was too young. thank you so much. for reminding me. >> thanks, john. >> john: appreciate it. >> sandra: all right, john, president trump in south florida ahead of the annual republican retreat. he is set to speak at a high profile policy conference. that is expected to happen later today. we are live co coming up. plus this... >> i was the only one trying to save his life. >> i have never seen a movement around someone accused of murder like this. >> john: karen read speaking out about her massachusetts murder trial. is she a cold blooded killer or the victim of a coverup? judge jeanine has a fox special on the case and she is here to talk about it coming up next. m . absolutely. at newday usa, that's what we're doing. we put our arm around the veterans. when i think of the veteran out there that needs to refi his home,

>> sandra: this is a trial that captured america's attention, and it's about to get a sequel. karen read heading back to court. charged again with the murder of her boyfriend, boston officer john o'keefe. prosecutors say she is a ruthless killer, and supporters say she's the victim of a coverup. and judge jeanine pirro joins us. what will you tell us, judge? >> it was a nine-week trial, and took 5 days for the jury to deliberate and couldn't figure out what happened. there is a lot on both sides. she was charged with second degree murder. she was charged with vehicular manslaughter while drunk and receiving the scene of an accident where there is a homicide. they are scheduled to go back to trial april 1st.

the defense is claiming there is excessive prosecutorial overreach. i don't see that at all. neither did the judge, surprise. this is what the case is about. karen read is dating the cop o'keefe, and it's a rocky relationship, and on the 28th, they go drinking at a par, and orders 9 drinks. she says she didn't drink them all, and she admits to police she and john left the bar, and she was arguing with john, and taking him to a party with a bunch of cops who are apparently drinking, and she says she drops him off at 12:45. she doesn't come home, and the next morning, she calls two girlfriends to look for him, and she doesn't look for him herself, i ask you this, sandra, if your boyfriend didn't come home, you'd say where, wouldn't

you look for him? she said to one girlfriend, did i hit him? the cause of death is the blunt force trauma to the head, and the prosecution is saying, look, this guy, this cop o'keefe was hit in the head by her backing into him. in fact, his dna is apparently -- his dna is on the taillight. his hair is in the bumper of her suv and because of the vehicle data we have now, at 12:45 when she allegedly dropped him off after she admits fighting with him, she backed 60 feet at 24 miles an hour, and he ends up with all of the trauma to the head and on the bumper is a drink that he was carrying, he was seen leg the bar with and it's on the bumper. and you have got him dying -- not only the blunt force trauma, but of hypothermia. he froze to death there and then. what is her defense? well, the cops are framing me, of course. they should have seen when they

left the house that night that he was sprawled out. hogwash. he wasn't sprawled out. he was where she left him. >> sandra: let me play some of the fox nation clip. this is a promo clip on claims of conspiracy to that point. listen. >> defense attorneys claim others caused o'keefe and he is death and conspired with investigators to make read the scapegoat. >> if you wondered what corruption looks like, that's what corruption looks like. >> we started to realize this is nefarious. this is intentional. they're not trying to get to the truth. they're trying to frame my friend. >> so there you have it. >> there you have it. don't the police try to frame everyone in the homicide? i mean, here is a problem: when you have evidence, when you have dna, when you have motive, when you have admissions, they were fighting, did i kill him, his hair, his dna is on the bumper, we know the bumper went backwards. he was there. c'mon. >> there is so much fanfare in

the trial and you talk about that in your piece and there are people showing up at the courthouse, and they are holding up signs. they truly believe one way or another. >> for some reason, they're taken to her. here is the problem. when you really buy into it, and she is doing and showing up every day and waving and it's that celebrity thing has gotten to her. i'll be very interested to see what happens with the next jury trial. but you have to see the fox nation special. it's amazing, and i say so myself. >> you're amazing, judge, thank you so much, and we'll be watching this. karen read killer or convenient outsider? thank you very much, judge. >> good to see you. >> sandra: see you at 5. john. >> john: i've never known the judge to do anything that falls short of amazing. house republicans gearing up for the annual issues conference and president trump is set to play a huge role. we're live with a preview coming upthis next. come again? you asked me to topline it for you. okay. bottom line? well, the bottom line is this is an amazing value.
