complaint, on march 26th henry stole this u-haul with the intent of plowing it through a crowd of people. he allegedly drove around washington, d.c. looking for possible targets, but did not strike. the next morning, authorities say, henry drove the van to dulles airport but did not find as many people outside as he hoped. he walked through the terminal allegedly trying to find a way through security to harm disbelievers, but gave up. authorities say he then drove a stolen u-haul to national harbor in maryland, a tourist area with restaurants and a ferris wheel, a place families go. investigators say henry told them he wanted to create panic and chaos. i was just going to keep driving and driving and driving, he said, i wasn't going to stop. but the crowds were thin. investigators say henry broke into a boat and hid there overnight. when he tried to return to the u-haul the next morning, police were there waiting for him. authorities say henry began harboring hatred for nonmuslims two years ago. the fbi believes he was inspired by watching videos of foreign

terrorists. another sign the influence of isis lives on even as they lose ground overseas. pierre thomas, abc news at the national harbor. >> our thanks to pierre. sticking with washington, president trump is apparently considering taking an even harder line on immigration as he shakes up the homeland security department. >> several news outlets are reporting that the president has been talking about returning to the practice of family separations, the zero-tolerance policy that took thousands of migrant children away from their parents and sparked outrage across the country. it could trigger another court challenge. just yesterday a judge blocked the administration's efforts to force asylum seekers to wait in mexico while their cases are processed. at the same time, president trump is cleaning house after forcing homeland security secretary kirstjen nielsen to resign. secret service director randolph alles is now on his way out, his agents learning about his departure on the news. meanwhile we're gett

weeks ago. sources say the president ordered nielsen and secretary of state mike pompeo to shut down a portion of the border in 24 hours, and aides had to convince him not to close it. but nielsen is still expressing support for the president. >> i just want to thank the president again for the tremendous opportunity to serve this country. i share the president's goal of securing the border. >> two other dhs officials are reportedly also on the chopping block, including the person who runs the legal immigration system. federal prosecutors say the fbi is still looking into whether the mar-a-lago intruder is a spy. officials said at a hearing they found what may be espionage equipment in yujing zhang's hotel room along with thousands of dollars of cash. prosecutors say the chinese national is a serious flight risk because quote she lies to everyone she meets. attorney general william barr appears on capitol hill today to talk about the justice department's budget. we're likely to see the first public confrontation between the administration and congressional democrats over releasing the mueller report. members of the appropriations committee plan to hammer barr on

here. i'm walking through confetti here on the court in minneapolis. we knew there was going to be a first, and tonight it happened to be virginia's turn to be first. they just won their first-ever national championship, and they did it once again in dramatic fashion. a game between two of the top three defenses in all of college basketball got to a very slow start to this game, a very slow start. but it picked up, and once again virginia gives us another heart-stopping finish. this game goes into overtime, and they were able to outlast texas tech. this was a game but it seemed like a fight at times. what i mean is it seems like these two kept taking each other's best punches. and kept coming back and kept coming back. at one point the virginia band during a time-out was playing

congratulations to the kids from virginia. these kids, and i have to remind you, last year they were the first team in history, the first number one seed ever, to lose in the first round, to lose to a number 16 seed. those kids got death threats after that game last year. one player, kyle guy, who is now the most outstanding player of this final four, actually talked openly about mental issues and having anxiety after that. to come back on this redemption tour a year later and to win it all, you have to be happy for those kids. heartbreak for texas tech for putting up the fight that they did. not a lot of people expected them to be in the final. congratulations to them as well. this one's in the books. two teams vying for their first-ever national championship, and virginia happened to be the ones to outlast texas tech in another heart-stopping game. they're going to need to give everybody free health screenings in charlottesville, pretty much the cavaliers giving everybody a heart attack the last three games. that's the word here from minneapolis, i'll send it to you guys. >> as you know, former "world news now" anchor t.j. holmes, we appreciate t.j. for staying up late and sending us that piece from minneapolis.
