no court date has been set yet, but already this is shaping up to be quite the legal fight. on one hand, you have the doj accusing governor abbott of placing this 1,000-foot long buoy in the water in violation of federal law. on the other hand, you have governor abbott defiant, accusing the biden administration of trying to hamper his efforts to secure the border. this morning the rio grande river separating the u.s. and mexico has become the latest flash point in the battle over border security. the justice department now suing the state of texas demanding the removal of this thousand foot line of buoys, designed to prevent migrants from crossing the river. the government alleges texas installed it without federal authorization. texas governor greg abbott responding overnight. >> texas is defending its sovereignty and its constitutional right to secure the border of our state and our country. >> reporter: this honduran

couple told us they saw the buoys and went around them to cross the border. let through a fence on private property as the eight months pregnant woman was having trouble walking any further. the white house calls the barrier dangerous and unlawful, arguing abbott is trying to undercut the biden administration's security efforts. with monthly illegal border crossings now at a two-year low according to u.s. customs and border protection. >> the one person sewing chaos is governor abbott. that's what he continues to do, political stunts in an inhumane way. >> reporter: earlier monday, abbott writing in a letter to president biden, texas will see you in court, mr. president. hugo owns a pecan orchard on the river and tells us migrant crossings are frequent. he says he supports some of abbott's border security efforts but calls the buoys inhumane and ineffective. >> it's not keeping anybody from crossing. >> reporter: still, immigration advocates say they fear migrants will drown while attempting to

cross the buoys. republican congressman tony gonzales represents eagle pass. do you believe the wu buoys are actually working? >> it's going to maybe be a deterrent. there has to be more that prevents people from entering that water. >> reporter: and just to give you all a sense, this buoy is about the length of three football fields. and so, migrants are having to go into deeper parts of the water in order to get around it. and then when they do, they're encountering razor wire all along the embankment down there and also dealing with fences like this one preventing them from making it ashore. now, as for what comes next in the lawsuit, the doj has not yet filed for an emergency injunction, meaning for now, the buoys will stay in the water. hoda? >> priscilla thompson for us there in texas. thank you. now to the latest on the possible third indictment facing donald trump. it could come as early as today. this one is over the effort to overturn the 2020 election. this is one of four major investigations that surround the

former president, including that classified documents case in florida, charges in new york state, charges stemming from allege hush money payments and then other state charges about possible election interference in georgia. let's bring nbc senior legal correspondent laura jarrett into this. let's talk about this potential second federal indictment because president trump reports that he received a target letter, oh, about a week ago from jack smith, who is the special counsel investigating among other things, trump's efforts to overturn the election. target letter in most cases means you're going to get indicted. >> yeah. >> where does this stand? >> right. it's really just a question of timing. and the issue here is that the grand jury is still hearing from witnesses. and so i think some people at home might be thinking, how could an indictment possibly be on the way if the jury is still hearing from witnesses and getting documents. >> feels like he's still investigating. can he indict while he's doing the investigation. >> we have seen him do that before. remember in florida, that grand jury investigating his alleged

mishandling of classified documents, that grand jury is still going. it may be the case that the special counsel decides let me indict on what i have the evidence and follow up with other indictments, other charges. that may still happen but hard to predict where we are but we know it's coming. it's just a matter of when. >> you can add charges, amend charges, change of the indictment. do you think timing is an issue here? do you think that the special prosecutor jack smith might potentially be saying -- signaling i'm going to indictment sooner rather than later? because he wants to get the process going. we noticed now in the documents case in florida that donald trump's lawyers had said, let's move the trial until after the election. they've been -- this is part of their legal strategy is to delay. do you think jack smith in this new federal case wants to get this process started sooner rather than later? >> i think that's certainly possible. the trump legal team's position is the trial shouldn't happen at all. they didn't want a trial date. and instead the judge in florida said i'll give it to may to split the baby in that way. but the special counsel knows

that he wants to drag this out. and he knows that if he indicts in d.c., the jury pool might be more favorable than in florida and certainly the judges in d.c. are very well aware of the facts related to january 6th. remember, they heard thousands of cases about that now. and so, it might be the case that he wants to indict and might still continuing investigating. >> this is where people see the legal strategy rung up against a political strategy because these are federal cases, both of these. the one in miami and the potential one having to do with the 2020 election. if the president were to be re-elected, potentially he could pardon himself. it's not something that's ever been done before. >> or he could just order the justice department to drop the case. he doesn't have to pardon himself, right? he decides who will be the next attorney general. and then if that attorney general decides i'll just throw out the case, it's all gone. so i think that's the clock that jack smith is running up against now. >> laura, very interesting. thank you. we'll be watching. breaking overnight, a u.s. defense official tells nbc news that a russian fighter jet damaged a u.s. drone over syria.

the officials says the russian jet flew dangerously close then deployed its flairs directly at the u.s. aircraft, damaging its propeller. the drone did not crash but was forced to land. the incident comes about two weeks after russian fighter jets flew too close to several u.s. drones over syria. setting off flairs and forcing the aircraft to take evasive maneuvers. the u.s. military is calling on russia to put an immediate end to this reckless behavior. 7:14. we have craig back with us. good morning. >> hey, savannah, hoda, good morning. good morning to you as well. let's turn now to a breakthrough in the carlee russell case. the alabama woman who said she was kidnapped along a highway. now admitting to police it was all made up. nbc sam brock joins us with details on this story that we've been following. sam, good morning to you. >> reporter: yeah, craig, good morning. what was supposed to be a scheduled meeting russell's meeting and investigators turned into email exchange and

and there's a kid that's walking by themselves. >> in her initial statement to police, russell claimed she was abducted by a man with orange hair and woman who brought her to a home, forced her to undress and took nude photos of her. throughout the investigation, police say they found no befor evidence of an aboandoned a toddler. internet searching what's the cost of an am bert alert, one way bus ticket birmingham to nashville and film about "taken". >> my client apologizes. we ask for your prayers for carlee as she addresses her issues and attempts to move forward understanding that she made a mistake in this matter. >> reporter: now, no charges have been filed. police say they are in conversations with the jefferson county d.a.'s office right now about possible criminal charges. as for russell's boyfriend, he posted about the fams narrative saying he was blind sided by it and the entire family was reacting out of love and genuine

he was on fox news mccarthy said, republican investigations into the business dealings of biden family members such as hunter biden, the president's son, has risen to the level of such an inquiry. he stopped short of saying he would move to formally begin an impeachment inquire at this time a white house spokesperson said, this is what the house gop wants to prioritize. now to a groundbreaking new study on kids and allergies. according to the cdc, 35% of children suffer from some kind of allergy but a new study out today shows a specific sequence of symptoms that parents should look out for in order to improve early diagnosis. here to explain, nbc senior medical correspondent dr. john torres so dr. john, first of all, what kinds of allergies are we talking about here >> good morning. the allergies we're talking about, common allergies we see in children,

eczema, allergies, even food allergies and eosinophilic esophagitis they wanted to look in this pattern to see if there was a pattern behind it and what that meant for children and their parents in particular, craig. >> take us through the patterns when kids get which allergies and why is it important for parents to know that information? >> hoda, it was interesting the way they described it. they are calling it an allergic march. this is essentially a march of allergies through the life of a child. started off 4 months, eczema that's when it starts showing up 13 months you can see there are food allergies and asthma. at 25 months the environment allergies, particularly hay fever. and then 35 months that more more rare condition that can lead to other things and the reason this is important

is because you want to look for these. the earlier you get them, the earlier you treat them number one, easier they are to treat and the less the child suffers with these type of allergy symptoms so it's important to pay attention to them and make sure that you're actually seeing the child. if you notice a rash when they're four months old, doesn't go away in a couple days, get it looked at. it could be eczema you also want to follow the guidelines for the american academy of pediatrics for things like peanut allergies once you introduce peanuts into their diet this is helping children understand how that might progress through the life of the child. >> thank you, dr. john. a wild animal encounter turned deadly this weekend near yellowstone national park officials believe an experienced hiker was killed when she crossed paths with a mother grizzly bear and its cub nbc's erin mclaughlin joins us with the latest on that investigation. hey, erin, good morning. >> reporter: good morning. amy adamson loved nature so much so that eight years ago she left her job as an english teacher to embark on a 2,000 mile

"t

♪ and we are back with our "today table" series and this morning we are cooking up a dish with a classic summer staple, squash. who doesn't love squash.

joining us alejandro ramos "today" contributor. and to cook this recipe at home, all you have to do is scan that qr code to get all of the ingredients that you need. alejandro, always good to have you. >> love being here, craig. >> so if you are in the grocery store and you are picking out a zucchini, how do you pick out the right zucchini or squash >> you want that nice, medium size for a recipe like this. it will be sweeter you want something that feels nice and firm. if it's flopsy, you don't want that so this feels nice this feels really good. >> these are good? >> yeah. squash season is like once you get -- if you are a gardener, once you get the squash, it is coming in quick. it is a great recipe to use it up so much flavor use the yellow or the green or a mix of both, whatever you like in kind of sup summer squash it comes in other shapes, too. >> all right. >> for this, we will dice it i like the dice because we're using a shortcut pasta. >> why are we using the shortcut pasta? >> mostly because i like it. >> good enough reason. >> it's my favorite pasta. but what i like, so you really

want to get that kind of small shape, right basically, whenever you are doing like a short pasta, you want the veggies to be about the same size so they cook evenly. it is also a nice feel when you are cooking. so this is a nice dice here. we have some aromatics we have the onions cooking in butter put that garlic in there once the onions are soft, put the garlic in once it is flagrant fragrant so you pop it in, the minute you smell it, it's ready to go little chili flakes. you can skip them if you don't like heat. i like heat, so we're putting that in there. do you guys get a slice in there. >> oh, yeah. love it. >> lemon, too. >> yes great flavors. then we can pop all these nice zucchini diced in here the reason we're cooking the zucchini first is because you want to get that moisture out of it zucchini has a lot of liquid in it you want it to cook down that concentrates that sweetness. it just works out really well.

that way you will not get a watery sauce >> so roughly how long are we going to cook it >> the younger the zucchini, 3 to 7 minutes so it depends on the -- so the younger the zucchini, the quicker it cooks the bigger ones might be tougher and will take longer. >> and the tomatoes? >> salt in there, too. we will do cherry tomatoes you can do grape tomatoes. i love to pop these in there, too. what's great about these, you throw them in whole. the heat from the cooking might soften a little. they might burst don't be scared. that's good. >> this is your favorite pasta. >> it means little ears in italian. it's fo saight>> what's thrd, al >> it's fantastic. >> you can also call it fantastic. but any kind of shortcut, like the short, smahaped pasta, ziti wworko. so you're going to cook it a minute or two less than the

package directions because you want it to finish it off in the sauce. >> reserving some pasta water. >> yes always reserve pasta water it's like liquid gold. i'll bring this here dump this out. >> why do we reserve the pasta water? >> we call it liquid gold because the pasta water has the salt you added and also has that starchiness. so it will create a natural creaminess and it's going to help once you add sauce, it will help if you need to thin it out a little bit or thicken it up. this is our reserve pasta water. you don't need tons. i always pull out a cup before i do the pasta and pro tip, get the pasta water cup out first because otherwise you'll forget and dump it down the drain. no there goes my gold. >> do you get the pasta water after the pasta has been cooked in it, though. >> yeah. that's when it has the great starch in it it's fantastic. >> straight to the pan >> right into the pan. that's why we let it cook a

little shorter first so it can finish off. >> that's just greek yogurt. >> this is just greek yogurt you're getting a creamy sauce with no heavy cream. you'll get the creaminess from it greek yogurt has a tang. do do the full fat greek yogurt. i'm not that virtuous. >> this is the pasta water butter works to add a little extra creaminess and skip this if you don't need it and the lemon that you mentioned, al, little fresh lemon zest you get so much flavor from lemon zest. >> that is quite tasty. >> finish off with fresh herbs. >> what if you wanted to add protein? >> chick peas vegetarian for jacob. >> you could do a little chicken if you want. >> is there mint in this >> yes, a little fresh mint.
