>> there we go. >> got happy there. >> you talk about a close call. that was a close call everybody thinking it was thursday -- friday, close call for that officer who broke the glass with the bear in the car. really, really crazy story. >> i would have just said keep your seat belt on, mr. bear. but that officer got out of the way quickly. didn't he? >> he sure did. >> we'll talk to that deputy. first, we begin with the stunning about-face from president trump signing an executive order to stop the separation of families at the border after insisting himself that that was not possible. >> at a rally in minnesota last night president trump saying he signed the order to keep families together but that border security will remain, quote, tough. our senior white house correspondent cecilia vega has the latest. >> reporter: good morning. for so many days president trump said only congress could stop these family separations. he said he himself could not do this alone but with this controversy backing him into a corner, that is exactly what he did. and now he says his reversal came down to the one thing that so many accused him of lacking, compassion.

in minnesota, president trump using his stunning reversal to rally his base. >> today, i signed an executive order. we're going to keep families together but the border is going to be just as tough as it's been. >> reporter: the crowd chanting. >> they're not sending their finest, that i can tell you. and we're sending them the hell back. >> reporter: as the president amped up the attacks. >> so the democrats want open borders. let everybody come in. let everybody pour in. we don't care. let them come in from the middle east. let them come in from over all place. democrats put illegal immigrants before american citizens. what the hell is going on? >> reporter: it was his zero tolerance crackdown that led to thousands of migrant children, some just babies, being separated from their parents. and his reversal comes amid a

public relations crisis and widespread backlash even from his own party. the president now says allowing families to be detained together while their cases are reviewed is, quote, the right thing to do. >> i didn't like the sight or the feeling of families being separated, so we're keeping families together and this will solve that problem. >> reporter: but that is not what he said just a day earlier. >> i don't want children taken away from parents, and when you prosecute the parents for coming in illegally, which should happen, you have to take the children away. >> reporter: in the oval office, the president ending the policy with the stroke of a pen. the very thing he said he could not do. >> can't do it. >> reporter: days earlier his homeland security secretary kirstjen nielsen insisting. >> congress alone can fix it. >> reporter: now, president trump is calling it an impossible dilemma.

>> if you're really, really pathetically weak the country will be overrun with millions of people. and if you're strong you don't have any heart. >> reporter: his own wife and daughter were moved by the images. sources tell us they both lobbied him to put an end to the policy. after he did, ivanka trump breaking her silence on the issue tweeting, thank you, potus, for taking critical action. and both women are now facing some pretty serious backlash online. a lot calling them complicit in this controversy. this fight is far from over. we still don't know where all of these families will be housed. we don't know for how long they will be detained. the white house wants to be able to hold these children longer than 20 days, david. they have asked a judge to be able to do that. the president says they are expecting a fight in court. >> all right, cecilia vega leadings off this morning. our thanks to you. now to the american border this morning because there are major new questions about the president's new executive order, especially when it comes to the more than 2,000 children already

separated from their parents in just the last month or so, reportedly sent to more than a dozen states. is there any plan to reunite them now? and how long can you now detain entire families together because of this new executive order? abc's gio benitez is in el paso this morning. what are you learning? >> reporter: we just don't know how long that process will take and some experts really worry this morning that some of those children may never be reunited with their parents. we've seen their faces, children side by side behind metal fencing, sleeping under foil blankets, and heard their voices in this recording first obtained by propublica. >> mommy! >> daddy, daddy! >> reporter: now this morning, the big question, what is next for the more than 2,000 children recently separated from their parents at our nation's borders? ruben garcia on the front lines. he runs a shelter helping migrant families.

in a normal situation, that gets very messy. now we're talking about more than 2300 kids. >> correct, correct. >> and? >> and the parents of 2,300 kids that are locked up in different places. >> reporter: and we now know those in federal care include the very young. the associated press reporting that babies and small children are being housed in tender age shelters like this one in brownsville, texas. "the new york times" obtaining this photo of a toddler inside of this shelter seemingly about 12 months old. abc news was there as one young boy, 10-year-old samuel, packed up his belongings at a michigan home this week. separated after his father after illegal crossing the border, he had been living with an american foster family for eight months. they asked us not to show their faces. >> we developed a relationship but not any expense for the

trauma he's been through at all or his family. >> reporter: on wednesday, our alex perez right there as samuel got on a plane to guatemala to meet his father who was already deported back there. at the airport samuel seemingly stunned. >> a lot of love for your family in the united states. >> always, always, always. >> reporter: and that reunion eight months in the making. but that doesn't mean that the trauma has ended. dr. colleen kraft says reunification has the potential to be just as fraught as the detention. >> it may be even difficult once they're reunited with their parents. it may take a long time for this trauma to be resolved and these children to be healed. >> reporter: and experts tell us they have no idea how that reunion my case process is going to work. because no one agency actually knows where all of the parents and kids are right now and some of those parents may have already been deported, david. >> with their children back here in the u.s.

in the meantime, do we know how trump administration is planning to reunite separated families? >> reporter: you know, david, just moments ago we actually got information from customs and border protection. for those still in border patrol custody we are reuniting them with parents or legal guardians following prosecutions and they say that the families that are crossing illegally now, those families will be kept together. >> that's just in this morning. in the meantime, let's bring in dan abrams and tom bossert, president trump's former homeland security adviser now an abc news contributor. welcome. first, dan, you heard what the administration said. they said at first congress alone can fix this. the president then said when asked could he stop in that he couldn't through an executive order which is exactly what he did yesterday. but bottom line, could the president have picked up the phone days ago and called his justice department, his attorney general? >> yeah, he didn't even need an executive order. this is about how the law is enforced. it's not abouthe law itself. there are going to be very serious legal questions that have to be addressed when you're

talking about combining the zero tolerance policy with what courts have determined has to be the humane treatment of children and you now have a conflict but there is no question that when it came to the issue of separating children from their parents that this administration could have stopped it before and that no executive order was necessary. >> that you didn't need that moment we all saw 24 hours ago. in the meantime, tom, i know the president said as he signed in that the word was coming in that -- the word comes to mind compassion actually was the word that he used but this played out fodays, the country watching, the world watching, children in cage, the audio of the cries. was it using these families to set an example and listen to this, tom. >> are you intending forarents to be separated from their children? are you intending to send a message? >> i find that offensive. >> why? >> because why would i ever create a policy that purposely does that? >> perhaps as a deterrent. >> no.

>> is it a deterrent, sir? are you considering this a deterrent. >> yes, hopefully people will get the message. >> sounded like a contradiction there, tom. so were they using these family, these children as deterrents? >> not a contradiction. you have to play longer the clip with the attorney general. the action that the attorney general took in april was to tell his prosecutors that worked for him to prosecute first time offenders. that's a broader policy than we've had before. in other words, if you come into the country illegally, prosecute them and ultimately, if they're guilty of it, return them to their country. that's the action. we've had a greater volume of prosecutions. the consequence is prosecute some people that cross with their children and so it wasn't the intention to deter people by separating children. it was the intention to deter illegal entry by prosecuting them. remember that the alternative to prosecuting them is catching them and releasing them. >> and back to dan.

that main question how long can they keep the families together and detain them? >> the court consent decree that exists is 20 days. and that's going to quickly be challenged. now, you have an executive order that will be challenged in court because you're going to ask how can that executive order exist with the current legal rulings that are currently on the books? >> dan, tom, thanks to you both. michael. >> thank you, david. now to those severe storms overnight. parts of pennsylvania pounded by torrential downpours and flash flooding, forcing emergency rescues, and parts of texas soaked by more than a foot of rain. abc's marcus moore is in texas with the latest. >> reporter: good morning. i'm standing on a three-lane roadway that is submerged in water. you see the flooded-out cars just behind me off in the distance. this community, this region taking a real pounding overnight. overnight, extreme flash flooding sweeping through towns from texas to pennsylvania. >> oh, my god. >> reporter: entire neighborhoods in weslaco, texas,

underwater. roads washed away and fish washing and going for a swim in the streets. watch as this texas state trooper pulls a struggling woman out of the tide in mercedes. not far away these two neck deep wading through the rushing water. these aerials showing the storm's strength. more than 15 inches of rain in areas already hit hard by hurricane harvey last august and just outside pittsburgh -- >> i cannot even believe this right now. >> reporter: raging rapids sweeping away car after car. this one rolling over in a flooded parking lot. >> oh. no. >> that one is done, dude. >> reporter: main roads turning into murky rivers. >> we don't have a street anymore. it is now a river. >> reporter: forcing several swift water rescues. the water so high, first responders using boats to save those trapped. this man standing on his car waiting for help. >> that guy is still in his car. he's standing on it. >> reporter: and this morning, the situation is improving here just behind me. but first responder at one point said the water was four feet

deep. his ambulance got stuck. they hope the water will recede and residents can get back to their homes. all of this is reminiscent of hurricane harvey that devastated parts of the gulf coast last year. >> all right, marcus, thank you. now to the demand for answers after another fatal police shooting. this one involving an unarmed teenager in pittsburgh. the 17-year-old was shot while running away from a car. kenneth moton has the story for us. >> reporter: overnight, protests erupted in east pittsburgh. [ chanting ] demonstrators took over the streets blocking traffic. confronting officers less than 24 hours after the police shooting death of 17-year-old antwon rose, captured on this cell phone video now being reviewed by police. investigators say an officer who was sworn in just three hours before opened fire at a traffic stop tuesday night. hitting the unarmed teen three times as he ran away from this vehicle. >> antwon was loved by many. he was a good kid.

>> it just hurt me and it's senseless. he wasn't no threat. and i just don't understand why. why does it got to keep happening. >> reporter: that car antwon was riding in was suspected of being involved in a nearby shooting. inside police say they found two guns, but the driver was interviewed and later released. >> they'll have to judge us by our actions and the outcome of this investigation. as i tried to explain to some folks, we e committed to finding the truth in this investigation. >> reporter: as demonstrations continued in a downpour antwon's family released a statement calling him generous, hard working and a highly promising student. >> i don't know the entire story. but he was a great person. he was the best friend i've ever had. >> reporter: antwon's family also questioned the use of deadly force by the officer since he was just sworn in working his first shift with this department. he's on paid leave this morning, michael.

>> all right, thank you so much, kenneth. the scene has become all too familiar. and now, we're going to hawaii where that massive volcano is still erupting leading to a lot of new problems. people trying to take photos with the dangerous volcano and whit johnson is here and these photo seekers are facing hefty finds and possible jail time. >> no question. those flows make for great selfies and, look, we've seen stunning images of thrill seekers getting up close and personal with the lava. but if you get too close you're going to jail. that's the message from hawaii government officials. they have arrested or cited at least a dozen people in just the past ten days. nearly 50 since the eruption began in early may so officials are now increasing fines to $5,000 and adding up to a year of jail time behind bars if caught. kilauea's eruption shows no signs of slowing. lava -- take a look at this incredible video here. a raging river of lava erupting out of that fissure moving at a

rate of 15 miles per hour in some places so you can't outrun it if you get trapped. more than 500 homes destroyed now. >> so you're in jail and what are you here for? taking a selfie with lava. okay, but you with there. you had to follow strict humans. >> absolutely. we had a government escort with the national guard and it became even more limited over time. we were supposed to wear special gas masks. you can see some of the pictures there. but even when covering the story, we could see people sneaking around the barricades getting way too close. >> why? why would you want to do that? >> it's the pretty pictures but sending a message and trying to deter people from doing it anymore. >> trying to keep them safe. you've heard singing in the rain obviously the song and it was rainy here in new york. how about sliding? we saw that flooding in pittsburgh. this was -- that's the tunnel right there at the pirates/brewers game completely flooded and the player is the bullpen catcher trying to take

care of equipment water up to his knees. but look at this. managed to have fun. the slip and slide memories coming back from childhood. >> you're young when you can dive like that and not get hurt. i would still be on the ground. >> i remember doing that and you'd feel every lump in the lawn. it was kind of painful, wasn't it? >> every lump in the lawn. still getting over it. >> i love a slip and slide. you know what, we have to look at this. look closely. that's actually people standing on tables and booths waiting to be rescued in pittsburgh. they had almost three inches of rain in just two hours. there are more than 8 inches above average this year and, yes, still rain, three to four in stheast texas.

good morning. it's 8:27. i'm reggie aqui from "abc7 mornings." a man who crashed in the santa cruz mountains is probably only alive because of the tree he hit on locus drive early this morning. the nose of the ford mustang landed on that tree and got wedged into it. firefighters had to strap the car to the tree to get the driver out. of course, we'll be tracking that story throughout the day, but had that tree not been there, likely, sue, it would have just rolled down. >> yeah, he's fortunate. let's leave it at that. unfortunately, we do have other accidents around the bay area, too. we have one now in the east bay. this one southbound 880 near winton. it is blocking a lane of

traffic, and you're slowing from 230a, and we have a sig alert in effect for the benicia bridge with metal debris causing problems. >> mike nicco is next with a look at your forecast.

dropped, she thought i was coming on to her husband. >> why would she get that idea? >> she wasn't there. she's probably too young to know that was my line. but he knew right away and said, fran, i'm so happy for your success and all of that. so it was really like a reunion and quite lovely and he's great and he's still got the moves. >> yes, he does. >> you've got the moves too. you're back as eunice. >> eunice. frank's wife. >> frank's wife. >> how is that? >> frank stein. i'm so happy and delighted to be part of this franchise. this one is "hotel transylvania 3: the summer vacation," and you know i don't think there is an animated film besides ours that has put together such a great collection of comic actors that adam sandler assembled and we get writers from "snl" so the reason why i bring that up, it's genuinely funny.

it appeals to the whole family or if you don't have kids like me, but you like animated films like me, this is the one for you because it's so funny and yet for kids, the visuals are amazing and it speaks on different levels and it always has a positive message because, you know, at the core of it is kind of like what would be the monster version of an interracial marriage because one is a vampire and one is a human. and then they have a baby together. so, you know, it's all the time teaching tolerance and acceptance and as these different, you know, worlds or families collide, they also learn not to be fearful of what they think is so different and all of that and that's always this underlying message for this wonderful series that, you know, i'm very, very proud to be a part of and thank you, america, for supporting it. >> you say it speaks to so many

people so let's take a look. here's eunice. take a look. >> everybody just please watch the hair. watch the hair! >> here it comes. >> not the hair. not the hair! no, no, no, no! >> oh.

>> i have too many, you know, don't bother writing me if, a, you're a smoker. that's a deal breaker so, you know, and then there's, you know, i'm very into organic and health and, you know, if you're not into that then we might as well be from different planets so that's another thing but that's really -- and, you know, being very authentic so none of that seems to be prevalent. >> no one authentic out there. >> and then the other thing is everybody seems to be 48. [ laughter ] even though i try to move the thing to say, okay, i would do like in the like 55 to 65 because i mean that's just the sweet spot i'm looking for. no one, no one admits to being 55 to 65. everyone is freakin' 48. >> freakin' 48.

says the lgbtq community is among those that feel isolated. a lot of people when they have a fundamental difference like this with an organization, they choose to leave. what made you decide to stay in the church and launch this fight instead? >> i think that when you're on the inside of a community, that's how you make the change. >> reporter: reynolds and director don argot chronicle the struggles in a music festival sparked to create dialogue and acceptance. >> it was super challenging. i had sponsors who said we'll come on board with this if you take out of your mission statement accept. love is okay but let's not say love and accept. >> reporter: argot who isn't mormon said while filming "believer" capturing the essence of the moment became his passion. >> to see this thing come together and you saw how -- you know, how people were longing for this event, it was really, really cool. >> reporter: reynolds says as a parent to three young daughters the whole experience was eye opening. >> see it in the documentary, this moment where she said sometimes, you know, a boy is supposed to be a girl and the

boy is a girl. it's sad to me that our children understand this on such an easy level, they have the heart for that and -- >> because no one is telling them it's wrong. >> exactly. >> reporter: his mission, he says, is about bringing humility to the forefront and his faith allows him to follow his heart. >> most people like to slam the door on a missionary's face. i had plenty of that but i was absolutely determined for that one door. i'm going to knock a thousand doors, a hundred thousand doors. so this is one door shut in my face, cool, man. let's go. you could shut it all day. you know, i'll keep knocking. >> reporter: for "good morning america," diane macedo, abc news, new york. >> thank you to diane for bringing us that interview.
