refugees. the president has been pushing what he calls a merit-based immigration system. but that proposal went nowhere in congress. >> to protect benefits for american citizens, immigrants must be financially self-sufficient. >> reporter: according to an associated press analysis, noncitizen immigrants make up only 6.5% of those participating in medicaid and 8.8% of those receiving food assistance. critics are saying this policy is unfairly targeting the lower-income immigrants. how do you respond to that? >> well, we certainly expect people of any income to be able to stand on their own two feet. and so if people are not able to be self-sufficient, then this negative factor is going to bear very heavily against them. >> reporter: we are now learning of several budding lawsuits. the national immigration law center calling this new rule racially motivated. announcing it will file a lawsuit challenging it. now abc news has learned california's attorney general

investigation. >> let me assure you that this case will continue on against anyone who was complicit with epstein. any coconspirators should not rest easy. the victims deserve justice, and they will get it. >> reporter: and sources say monday's raid was aimed at finding evidence that could connect epstein's inner circle. sources say there are video cameras in the prison but none of them appear to be pointing towards epstein's cell. right now the fbi and the office of the inspector general are investigating. janai and kenneth? >> our thanks to maggie there. midwesterners should be on alert overnight for severe thunderstorms with damaging winds, hail, and a threat of flooding. towns across the mississippi from st. louis have already seen flooding from storms. residents of granite city woke up to find most of their streets had turned into rivers. a landspout tornado briefly crossed interstate 80 near cheyenne, wyoming. unlike a classic supercell tornado, landspouts are harder to predict. no damage or injuries were reported. and right now, you can see the storm stretching across the

name, like emergency erin, emergency lane erin? not today erin? >> not today erin. >> not today, she said, move on. when it comes to traffic, people obviously get really, really upset. >> well, and bus riders point out that one bus can carry 50 or more people. so buses should get priority over the single-occupant cars. but you know, there are those bus lanes in d.c. that sometimes, just for a second -- >> you just zip around? >> just for a second, but i'm not hanging out in them. >> yeah, those people are definitely in the bus-only lane. erin said get out of here. >> not today. >> and let me say something to these bike lane people as well. as i was walking the brooklyn bridge, just last week with the family, people were yelling at people that were on the -- people who were bicyclists. because if you're walking in the bike lane, and i was there for it, i was like, get 'em! get 'em, yell at 'em! >> let them know!
