first weekend. >> that's crazy. >> and the plot, one of the best kept secrets in hollywood. we have first look at a brand new clip. people will be poring over it all morning searching for clues. we begin with a white house shake-up. president trump has forced out his secretary of homeland security, kirstjen nielsen, after a rocky 16 months, targeted by critics for being too tough, and by the president for not being tough enough. terry moran starts us off at the white house. good morning, terry. >> reporter: good morning, george. when the end came for kirstjen nielsen it was sudden, but not a surprise. for months, president trump had been openly berating secretary nielsen at cabinet meetings, pushing her to take more and more drastic measures to stop the flow of migrants at the southern border. she became the face of the policy, including the family separation policy. but, all for naught. the migrants kept coming. and president trump's patience ran out. overnight, homeland security secretary kirstjen nielsen forced out of the administration. tensions between nielsen and

president trump have been simmering for months, but reached a boiling point after the president's furious response to the recent surge in migrant crossings at the southern border. just hours after a face-to-face meeting with the president on sunday, nielsen submitted her resignation. writing, despite our progress in reforming the new age, i have determined that it is the right time for me to step aside. a source close to nielsen said the two had a series of intense clashes and angry phone calls in recent weeks. according to "the new york times," the president called ms. nielsen at home early in the mornings to demand that she take action to stop migrants from entering the country, including doing things that were clearly illegal, such as plblocking all migrants from seeking asylum. he held her personally responsible for the spike in migrant crossings. border officials say the number of migrants attempts to cross into the u.s. could reach as

high as 1 million this year. the president's frustration with the border has been on full display. >> the system is full. can't take you anymore. whether it's asylum, whether it's -- anything you want. it's illegal immigration. can't take you anymore. we can't take you. our country is full. >> reporter: nielsen will likely best be remembered for enforcing the president's zero tolerance policy, which resulted in the setion of thousands of migrant children from their families at the border. some of whom are still trying to reunite. there is no love lost for her from democrats. >> i'm talking about people who have died in your custody. you don't have the number? >> would you like me to answer the question or do you want to just yell at me? because it's up to you. >> answer the questions that i ask. >> reporter: some are saying good riddance. others are voicing concern over who will lead the agency next. and so her legacy will be that many courts did find several of the major policies that kirsten nielsen put in place to been lawful. that certainly will be part of her legacy. george?

>> and the second major move by the president in the last three days. late friday, he withdrew the nomination of his immigration director ron vitiello to head i.c.e. he's saying he wanted to go in a tougher direction, and it's clear the president wants harsher action, but what more can he do within the law? >> reporter: well, he's looking. he is doing some things to stem legal migration. he's closing offices around the world that help people get to the united states. including family reunification. he's tried to shut down that. but this number of migrants keeps increasing. he's looking for a magic bullet to close the border. tariffs. something that will stop the flow. but it's a complex problem, as kirstjen nielsen found out. >> and on another front, he's raising the limits on immigration as well. i want to bring in our chief justice correspondent, pierre thomas for more on this, and pierre, it is clear that there has been a surge of migrants at the border since january. >> george, good morning. we could have twice as many undocumented immigrants at the border this year as compared to last if a recent surge

continues. the monthly number of migrants caught at the border has doubled from 40,000 a month in the early days of the trump administration to roughly 75,100,000 a month recently. the demographics have changed over time. homeland security officials say there's been a surge in families including those with young children. george? >> kirstjen nielsen has been focused on the border. the homeland security department has much broader responsibilities. >> reporter: it's one of the most critical departments with a multibillion dollar budget, and 22 agencies housed within it. originally formed to protect from terrorist attacks after 9/11, its mission includes playing a critical role in cyber security, protecting the nation's infrastructure, responding to disasters. that's right. fema is under its authority, as is the secret service who is responsible for protecting the president and oversee security at the nation's airports with the tsa, and of course, securing those two borders, george. >> huge, huge job here. pierre thomas, thank you very much.

excellent? last tuesday, endicott was on safari in queen elizabeth national book when four kidnappers stopped the car she was in. on sunday, the police issuing a statement saying, the two were uncovered unharmed, in good health and in the safe hands of the joint security team. a u.s. defense official telling abc news, american military providing intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance, and liaison officers. >> the united states government doesn't pay for hostages because it puts everyone else in the country in danger of being also ransomed. >> reporter: ugandan authorities refused to pay for the release. but wild frontiers telling abc news that a ransom was paid as part of a negotiated handover. the amount isn't known, but it was reportedly much less than the original demand of $500,000. this is the first hostage-taking incident in more than 30 years.

but with kidnappers still at large and a hunt operation ongoing, this is still not over. so who paid the ransom and why? the u.s. secretary of state saying just last week that america doesn't pay kidnappers. now kimberly sue is on her way home. but we're not allowed into the park, and that's because of this ongoing operation to try and find the kidnappers who are still at large. amy? >> we certainly hope they find them soon, ian. thanks so much. janai? now to the severe weather on the move with 26 million americans in its path. the storms bringing heavy rain and damaging winds with gusts topping 70 miles an hour. ginger is tracking it all. ginger, good morning. those storms are also bringing giant hail. >> yes, bigger than golf ball-sized hail. start with the videos out of pasadena, texas. so just southeast of houston. tough to see there, the collapsed buildings, the roofs peeled off. this was 1 of 175 severe storm reports this weekend. >> reporter: wind gusts strong

louisiana starting in late march. the first church to burn happened in late march. t the first fire tore through st. mary's baptist church. the next, the greater union baptist church. and the most recent, mt. pleasant baptist just four days ago. >> at this point, we believe there is some relation. whether it's a single person, a single technique, a single method, we're not ready to speak to that yet. >> reporter: local police, the fbi, and atf are investigating these fires as possible arson. ♪ everything's gonna be all right ♪ >> reporter: on sunday, 80 churchgoers whose church was destroyed held services at another church in town. >> something's not right. we're going to keep on keeping on. >> reporter: their pastor told them they lost their church, but not their hope. >> it steals something from you. it robs you. but right now is a time for me to find something to pick them up. it caused us to pray harder and pray more frequently. this is the time for us to pull together.

>> reporter: so gracious ofhis church to let these parishioners, and to volunteer their church for the folks who lost theirs. as they say, god has many homes. and many houses. george? >> they now think a fourth fire may be connected to this? >> reporter: they are. they're saying there was a fourth fire, but they believe that one, but it happened hundreds of miles away. another black church burned down. george? >> steve osunsami, thanks. janai? also this morning, there are new developments in the college admissions scandal. a student has been expelled from stanford in connection with the case. abc's linsey davis is here. linsey, this is one of the first students to actually be expelled in this case. >> reporter: that's exactly right. good morning to you, janai. one of the first confirmed expulsions of a student in that varsity blue scandal that was enrolled and attending classes. stanford says they have rescinded admittance to a female

student. the student is no longer on campus. stanford says they have vacated her credits. according to the school newspaper, after she was admitted, a $500,000 contribution was made to the sailing program through the school's former sailing coach. that coach was then fired last month after pleading guilty to accepting donations in connection with the scandal. >> and linsey, last week we saw about a dozen parents in connection with this case. this week, the man accused of taking tests for some students is due in court on friday? >> reporter: that's right. mark riddell is expected to plead guilty to conspiracy to commit mail fraud and money laundering on friday. >> linsey, thank you so much. amy? >> thank you, janai. now to a thrilling finish. the women's national championship game going right down to the wire. baylor taking the title. holding off defending champs, notre dame, battling back after losing a star player and a 17-point lead rallying to win thanks to this layup. whoo! with four seconds left.

it's baylor's third national championship and their first since beating the irish in the 2012 final. of course, there's more basketball tonight. sadly, without my michigan state spartans. >> i knew that was going to be hard for you. baylor in good company. they're joining uconn and tennessee as the only d-1 teams that have three titles or more. but your michigan state, tough weekend. >> you have so many different teams. >> no, i have two. university of georgia and michigan state. two teams. they both disappointed me this year. >> a tough break for amy. tonight, the men will battle it out. an unexpected matchup between virginia and texas tech. virginia making it to the finals after pulling off a miracle comeback against auburn. texas tech stunning amy's michigan state team. abc's t.j. holmes is in minneapolis for the big game. t.j., good morning. break it all down. >> reporter: good morning to you all. and look at these smiling faces. why shouldn't they be smiling? i had to calm down the spirit squads this morning from texas tech and virginia.

i had to say, hey, act like you've been here before. the truth is they haven't. it's the first championship game for virginia and for texas tech. and at least in the case of virginia, they are here because of a controversial call over the weekend. it seems not the players but maybe a referee made their play of the day. >> and virginia is heading to its first ever national championship game appearance! >> reporter: after a month of madness, it all comes down to this. a showdown between number one seed virginia and three seed texas tech. they barely got into tonight's title matchup after a thrilling but controversial ending to their semifinal win against auburn. with five seconds remaining and down by two, virginia's ty jerome lost control of the ball for a moment but picked it up with both hands and kept dribbling. that was a clear violation. a double dribble. the officials missed it. seconds later -- >> it's guy from the corner, for the win! hold on! did i hear a whistle? >> reporter: the officials called a foul on auburn.

>> you have a right to come down. >> reporter: kyle guy hit all three free throws, sealing the win. virginia has been on a season-long redemption tour. just a year ago the cavaliers were on the wrong side of tournament history becoming the first one seed ever knocked out in the first round. >> we know what we're in for. we know how good texas tech is. we know it's going to be a dog fight. >> reporter: their unlikely opponent tonight, texas tech, is in the final for the first time. >> and celebrating in the streets in lubbock! >> reporter: back in lubbock, texas, some celebrations got out of hand with some fans setting fires and flipping cars. riot police were called in. at least 20 people were arrested. a big thanks to the spirit squads from both school. get this, these are two of the top three defenses in all of college basketball. so, might be a low-scoring affair. should be thrilling as well. at least for the folks of texas tech kids are out of school tomorrow. win or lose classes are canceled.

i should have gone to tech. >> and t.j., virginia looking for redemption. texas tech has something to prove. but the game could be all about defense for these two teams. >> reporter: absolutely. that's the case, two of the top three defenses of all times. it's on another network, so maybe it will be a snooze-fest. >> nicely done, t.j. we have an interview coming up with the mother of that fifth grader who died after a fight at school last week. a substitute teacher was in the room. the mother is demanding answers. that exclusive is next. and then get ready. we're just moechments away from your first look at the brand-new "avengers: endgame" scene. first, back to ginger. highway 58 in oakridge, oregon, shut down because of a landslide. they've got more where that came from and another big storm i'll tell you about later. your local weather in 30 seconds. first though, the select cities sponsored by walmart.

i already use sunscreen. what else can i do to help protect my skin against sun damage? >> recent studies show taking an oral supplement called nicotinamide can help. it's a form of vitamin b3 that has been shown to build up your cellular energy. you can actually repair damage done from ultraviolet rays. it doesn't cause headaches. it doesn't cause flushing. it's typically very well tolerated. i recommend talking to your doctor before starting any supplement. >> that's great. all right. next up, we have a question from gabby. she sent this in the form of a video. >> hey, dr. bowe. i'm in my 20s. i have noticed a lot of people my age are starting to get botox and getting fillers. is that something i should do now or wait until a later age? >> to answer gabby's question, i'm going to do a demo. you should have a piece of paper. amy, take yours. >> all right. >> we're going to make a paper fan that we used to make when we were kids. fold, crease, flip.

fold, crease, flip. look at your fan. it's like your skin. see those creases -- once they get etched in, it's hard to smooth them out. it's almost like scar tissue. though there's no studies to prove it, in theory, the earlier you do things like botox, the less likely the lines are to get etched in in the first place. >> what about for people who don't want to go to the needle, don't want the botox or fillers? >> it's all about the four ss. sleep. regular exercise. sugar. avoid it. proper skin care. sun screen. retinol. those things are so important. >> that's something i started using because i notice my skin tends to get red and dry. >> is there a certain way that i can avoid that? >> here is the trick. do you mind doing it with me? >> no, not at all. >> you want to break it down into two steps. give me your fingers. first, a moisturizer.
