5:35 pm
that don't have criminal records, i would say those would be the next priorities that we'll go after. and eventually we'll see where that leads us to. >> reporter: in some communities, where undocumented immigrants work and pay taxes, a sense of fear setting in. >> we are here to address the fear. no one should be afraid to go to work. no child should be afraid to go to school. >> reporter: this as military jets fly migrants out of the united states. another c-17 heading to guatemala tonight. over the weekend, the government of colombia refusing to allow two american military planes carrying migrants to land. president trump threatening to impose heavy tariffs on colombian imports, which would have spiked prices at the grocery store on coffee and other products. colombia fired back, threatening to slap tariffs on american goods. but before long they backed down, agreeing to accept the deportation flights. >> we've made it clear to every country that they will be taking back our people. and if they don't, they'll pay a very high economic price.

5:42 pm
days. >> we were like oh, maybe it's environmental. the next day, hundreds were gone. and we're like, this is something. >> reporter: despite 67 human cases of bird flu and one death, there has been no confirmed person-to-person spread. just days after donald trump took office, there are questions about missing updates on bird flu. health agencies have been ordered to pause public communications until it's been reviewed and approved by a presidential appointee. former white house covid response coordinator dr. ashish jha is urging the new administration to take bird flu seriously. >> the biggest lesson from covid is, if you are -- if you get on top of things early, if you do surveillance, if you do testing, it doesn't have to be disruptive. and that is what i'm worried we're going to make the same set of mistakes. >> reporter: and david, multiple sources tell abc news that a new report on bird flu was among those that was not released by the cdc last week because of that communications freeze. david? >> david: erielle reshef tonight. erielle, thank you.

5:45 pm
and we just clean out that whole thing. >> reporter: just 24 hours ago, the fragile cease-fire deal seemed to be on the brink, after israel accused hamas of withholding a hostage. hamas later agreeing to release three hostages on thursday ahead of a scheduled hostage prisoner exchange on saturday. still no word on whether americans sagui dekel-chen and keith siegel are part of that release. david, this cease-fire still precarious. the idf saying they fired on multiple positions in central gaza, after they say their soldiers came under threat. david? >> david: britt clennett with us live from jerusalem. britt, thank you. tonight marks the 80th anniversary of the liberation of auschwitz. you'll remember, we traveled back to auschwitz with survivors. they were just children when they were liberated, when they were saved. they made a life for themselves here in the u.s. children, grandchildren. and tonight, some have gone back. and they've sent us a message about what they're seeing in the world, even right back home here in the u.s. the sun rising this morning over
