underage immigrants set to be detained there. some not. >> what if one of them is bad. we don't know. >> reporter: but both sides looking to washington for action. republicans have not officially released their plan but it appears they are looking for more policy changes than democrats may be willing to go along with. richard? >> thank you so much for that latest on that report. appreciate it. a pulitzer-prize winning journalist and activist was detained tuesday. jose antonio vargas was taken into custody making his way through security in mcgowan. vargas has lived and worked in the u.s. without legal documentation since his teens. he was on his way to a vigil in support of unaccompanied border kids. he himself was one of those as a child. he was released from custody last night. hurry and book the trip right now. starting monday u.s. air travel will be pricier. the government raised the tsa fees for passengers and the treasury department will take a

prefer a home office. >> do you have a favorite shape for that home office? do you prefer to sit in traffic or cause it? >> i start this book talking about getting on the floor, hiding, trying to go to a secret meeting with barrack obama. that happens to me a lot. so i prefer not to cause traffic. >> you actually travel like a kid sneaking into a drive in theater? >> yeah, i try to. >> do you enjoy constant nonstop criticism? >> enjoy is probably the wrong word. >> expect. >> expect. survive. >> sure. >> live through. it just sort of comes with the territory. >> it does come with the territory. >> indeed. >> so it sounds to me like, if i may, you have declared for president. >> how about that for an aptitude test. >> that was pretty good. doesn't look like they rehearsed those questions before either. >> no. >> he asks questions others cannot in a blunt way.
