"nbc news daily" starts righ now. today, monday, january 27th, 2025, the president's priorities. the trump administration ran it's mass deportation plans. hundreds of unauthorized immigrants arrested and hundreds flown out of the country. treacherous ground. parts of fire-ravaged california are soaked after some much-needed rain. why all of the wet weather is triggering safety concerns. the u.s. sees a surge in flu cases. why and how you can stay healthy. the kansas city chiefs and the philadelphia eagles will once again face-off in this year's super bowl. how the teams are gearing up for the big game.

oh, yeah, you have to get ready for that. we will get to that in just a moment. we will begin this hour with the trumpet ministration ramping up its nationwide immigration crackdown. >> enforcement operations are being carried out in major cities nationwide that include los angeles, san diego, denver, phoenix, atlanta, miami, chicago, among others. a source familiar with the operations tells nbc news that several teams are fanned out across chicago alone today here top administration officials were in that city to oversee efforts on sunday. immigrations and customs enforcement, i.c.e., for short, provided a video -- gang members that were previously convicted criminals. the agency made more than 950 arrests on saturday alone, that is the largest number in a single day since president trump took office more than a week ago today. julia ainslie and priscilla thompson in el paso, texas. julia, we will start with you. can you give us some context about those numbers? how do they compare to the biden administration?

and what else are we hearing from i.c.e. about all of these arrest ? >> it rtainly is a surge. as i have understood it in the past, the average number in september it was about 282 arrests per day. that could surge in certain places at certain times. essentially, what has happened is that they have tried to take the number of arrests they would usually do in a month and packet into one week. my sources tell me we will continue to see this sustained number of arrests nearing 1000 a day over the course of the next week. the question is, how long can they sustain it? one of the reasons that this number is so high is because they are using manpower outside of i.c.e.. they are using doj components, like the u.s. marshals, atf, dea, the fbi peered at the end of the day, those people do have to go back to their day jobs. so what happens in the end of they do not get more money from congress? i think at that point they would need to either ask for

more money or come up with some kind of contingency plan. you do not just arrest someone and put them on a plane, they have to be in detention for a certain period of time, they could end up back in immigration court, of course, you have already seen, it is easier said than done sometimes, to fight people back. we saw columbia turn to flights away this weekend. >> priscilla, let me correct you. governor greg abbott is sending hundreds of troops to help with the order. what is the governor saying about that move? >> yes, kate. this has been part of his texas technical board of force that he started back in 2023. what he is saying today is that he is doing this because he now has a partner in the trump administration, in terms of this immigration enforcement that he is hoping to carry out. and so because of that partnership, he is now going to spend additional texas resources, of course, announcing 400 additional soldiers that will be coming from dallas and fort worth, not far from dallas and fort worth, and also, houston, and he is also sending helicopters and a number of error military assets to assist in that. but one thing i will note to

pick up on what julia was talking about, it was just last week that texas governor greg abbott actually sent a letter to congress asking them to pay texas back more than $11 billion for all of the border enforcement that they did during the biden administration. and so it remains to be seen, even as he is claiming these additional texas troops, whether the government will be getting a bill for all of that. as he says, he is working to partner with customs and border patrol and the customs -- trump administration on his efforts. >> reporter: yes. thank you. we went to the federal teams in chicago today, what is the administration saying about focusing on the city in particular? >> reporter: well, they said they wanted to focus on blue cities and sensual ares cities . gabe gutierrez from nbc saying that it was these cities where they could be easier, chicago did not have a century city policy. instead of arresting people in their homes or potentially putting people in the community endanger, they could go into jails and be able to, these immigrants who have committed

crimes, other than just crossing the border illegally, and arrest them there. they are pushing back on the fact that it is a century city. this is part of the strategy. they wanted to be able to highlight what they see as the absurdity of sensual ares cities. they want to pressure these cities to change their policies. they do not mind if there is tension here. they know that there are community leaders, mayors, governors they want to push back on the actions they have done their peer but they are picking these applications on purpose to show that something needs to be done to change these policies so they can now arrest these people in jails rather than in their apartments. >> julia ainslie and priscilla thompson on the ground, thank you. we are following breaking news from the white house. >> present trump is expected to send multiple executive orders that could bring the major changes to america's armed forces. >> nbc news correspondent courtney colby joins us now.

the president made a promise during the campaign to shake up the military. it seems like that is exactly what he is going to do. can you talk about these four executive orders and their impact? >> s, shake up fast, i uld say. we heard from the new secretary of defense, pete hegseth, as he was walking in the building this morning at 9:00 a.m., he laid out the very broad outlines of four executive actions that we should expect. number one, we should reinstate service members who have been discharged for refusing the covid vaccine. this is roughly 8000, may be more than that, service members who were discharged in 2023. the pentagon said that people who were discharged from if they want to come back in, they can. at that time, only a handful of people and the dozens decided to come back into the military, but times may have changed. because president trump said last week that he would also provide those individuals with back pay.

we are talking about a lot of money if they decide to get back in. they will still have to meet standards to get back in, but we could see, potentially, thousands of people deciding to come back in the military after being discharged. now, in addition to that, we also expect an executive action that will and diversity programs. we also expect, as you see on the screen, and iron dome over america. and then policy for transgender servicemembers that will include not allowing transgender servicemembers to open serve. we will have more on what that means for their medical care. it is moving quickly, we are waiting for information, particularly policy guidance at all for those executive actions but i do not know that we will get that today. but we are waiting for more information. the reality is that the president has said they will hit the ground running here in the pentagon. and i can tell you, day one,

they are. people in southern california are dealing with new threats following the devastating wildfires. >> the region got some much- needed rain this weekend and this morning. although that is good news for the actual fires, there is now concerns about debris and runoff from those rains. we have already seen some small landslides in some areas. health officials are also warning that the ash that is left behind from the fires could be toxic and run off. nbc news correspondent dave patterson joins us now from pacific palisades, one of the worst hit areas. talk about the new threats we mentioned and what is being done to prevent even more harm. >> thankfully the threat has already passed, the rain is over, the sun has been beating down now for about an hour. i think we are mostly out of the warnings. some watches left for flooding. the ground is still saturated, that is truly the danger. the danger comes when you look at something like this, a burn scar next to a home. next to all of that scarring, it is overtop of this home, this is one of many homes that

are still -- neighbors another houses burned down to get into his own like this to find what was left to residents that have homes that know they are still intact and could be in danger. the landslide, the mudslide risk, that will not end anytime soon. until the ground is back to being dry. that saturation is good for putting up the flames. good for something like this, also bad when you have a scene like this. this toxic debris. i guarantee when you have paint cans, batteries, all of this one saturated and then running off through the waterways or even into the oceans, it can cause problems. we have seen the epa combing scene by scene, trying to remove most of the toxic debris, mainly so that people can get back into their homes, so that if the water hits it also, it does not run off somewhere else. they are working block by block to prevent it from flowing somewhere else. a very dangerous situation. there is a water advisory in this area. as you mentioned, there have been a few mudslides running

over the road, canceling schools, blocking access for crews trying to get into scenes like this to do more work. and residents, of course, trying to get back into their homes. it may be even more delay due to all the rain we had. >> okay. dave patterson, thank you so much. we are following breaking news out of new england where a 3.8 magnitude earthquake hit of the coast of maine today. the u.s. geological survey says that the epicenter was near the town of york harbor. that is about 45 minutes southwest of portland, maine. it may be felt in parts of boston, rhode island, and new hampshire as well. there are no reports of any damage so far. the national weather service has not issued any tsunami watches for the ocean or any warnings or advisories in the aftermath. now time for a look at your money. kia is recalling 80,000 vehicles . are you getting ready to throw a super bowl party? it may cost the same as last year's party. kate burney joins us with

today's cbs money minute. hello, kate. >> hello. we will start with kia recalling more than 80,000 tvs and plug-in hybrid vehicles over airbag and seatbelt issues. figural -- federal regulars now saying the -- beyond the passenger seat can become damaged and seatbelts from activating properly. so far, no accidents or injuries have been reported. with tax season underway, there now are some changes that taxpayers are going to need to know about. changes include text record adjustments, increased standard deductions, and expansion of the irs's free tax filing program, direct file, to 25 states. what has not changed, taxpayers

have until april 15th in most states to file and pay their federal tax returns. finally, it might cost you a little bit more to host the super bowl party, depending on what you choose to serve, according to a wells fargo report. a party overall will cost you roughly the same as last year, so think $139, roughly. about $.10 more than last year, but adding any sort of healthier option may cost you more, the report says. prices for cherry tomatoes and avocados are 11.5% to nearly 12% higher. that is thanks to tougher growing conditions out there. >> okay, bad news for my guacamole. >> i don't know. i would do a cheese dip or something like that. >> rooney? >> nachos. guacamole is a key part of that. if we are trying to cost save, we save the block to keep the nachos. a heist in the netherlands caught on camera, literally blowing off the doors. blowing off the doors. e artifacts that th ♪ ("good feeling" by flo rida ft. atr) ♪ this... ...is a hot flash. this is a hot flash. but this... ...is a not flash. for moderate to severe vasomotor symptoms due to menopause...

the u.s. and columbia pulled back from the brink of a trade war on sunday. president trump had to attend sweeping retaliatory tariffs on columbia after the country initially refused to accept two deportation flights. late sunday, the trumpet ministration backed off of those trade threats after columbia agreed to allow u.s. military planes to fly deportees into the country. president trump has made it tariffs an important part of

his foreign policy, also saying he plans to impose them on a number of countries, including china, mexico, and canada. how do tariffs work exactly and could they affect your wallet? we are breaking it all down for you with tariffs simply explained. >> tariffs are the most beautiful word. they are beautiful, they will make us rich. >> tariffs are a major part of donald trump's foreign policy and economic agenda. >> we want fairness from other countries. we have not been treated fairly. we will get fairness. >> possibly, tariffs are a tax on other countries for importing goods. it is a trade negotiation tool. a quick history lesson. in the u.s., tariffs started out steep. mike you can say there were three district this is distinct tariffs eras in the united states. tariffs or the main source of federal revenue. something, like, 90% of all federal revenues was based on taxing imports, from the civil war to the great depression of the 1930s, we had tariffs for protection.

tariffs for, it raised very high levels and varieties of imports. basically, those industries were protected. >> but that changed in the mid- 1930s. >> policymakers decided that high tariffs were not really good for the american economy. so, from the 1930s all the way up to now, we had a progressively lower and lower tariff. >> president trump imposed sweeping tariffs on china, an effort to reduce the trade deficit and boost u.s. manufacturing. the biden administration kept most of these tariffs. in some cases, even raised them on $18 billion of chinese goods. although the move is said to be largely symbolic. >> the 2018 tariffs do appear, as best economists have judged things, to have raised the price 1% or 2%. try to he said the tariffs were not effective. >> the evidence is that they

made a small contribution to inflation. tariffs stand to make the people in the countries who imposed them poor because they raise the price of what they buy, and that makes paychecks go less far. >> reporter: others , like this conservative think tank, they tariffs ultimately benefit the economy. >> what we saw in 2018, when president trump first impose a lot of tariffs, there were some places where there was no effect on prices. a lot of the times, that was short-lived. when we do collect tariffs, people do have to pay more, that is tax revenue that goes to the government. we can use that to reduce other taxes, we can use that to reduce our deficit, we can use that to actually support the creation of more manufacturing here in the united states. while the efficacy of tariffs is still widely debated, there international -- is indisputable. after the trump tariffs on

china in 2018, the country retaliated. now in 2025, mexico was to threatening to do the same after president trump said he would impose strict tariffs on china, mexico, and canada. >> we may be in the midst of a third big change in u.s. tariff policy. >> that is tariffs simply explained. >> reporter: of course, we always want to hear from you. let us know, what do you want simply explained? connect with me on your favorite social media platform favorite social media platform anywhere at simply zinhle (♪♪) years of hard work. decades of dedication. committed to giving back. you've been there, done that. and you're still here for more. so now that you're 50 or older, and at increased risk for pneumococcal pneumonia and ipd

also tells me that yesterday he saw ice agents apprehend two people at the target that is located across the street from his business in another shopping area. we have video that shows immigration and customs enforcement agents in that target parking lot. a lead dispatcher with the santa clara county rapid response network, which helps protect migrants against deportation threats, says she saw five agents who she says confirmed to her were with ice. agents were also seen at a home on nearby king road here. san jose city council member peter ortiz, who represents this area. they weren't just picking people off the street. it did appear that it was targeted. unfortunately, though, that causes panic throughout the community. san jose mayor matt mahan confirmed as well, telling us, quote, our police department was notified yesterday that ice is was carrying out an operation in san jose. sjpd does not assist with or participate in these operations in any way, and

ice just emailed me a statement that reads in part, enforcement and r removal operations. law enforcement activity takes place around the clock. however, ice does not conduct raids or sweeps. nor does the agency operate roadblocks or checkpoints. ice's enforcement resources are based on intelligence driven leads, and ice officers do not target non-citizens indiscriminately. ice confirmed that yesterday. agents arrested 956 people nationwide and lodged 554 detainers. the washington post reports that the trump administration has set quotas requiring at least 1200 to 1500 arrests per day nationwide. here in east san jose, bob redell, nbc, bay area news. thank you bob. classes are canceled today and possibly all week for some solano county students. that's because there is no power right now at solano wideman leadership academy in vallejo. the reason? copper thieves. the theft happened sometime after school

but the could not hide all of their proof and they could not kill everybody. today, there are still dozens of survivors, around 50 of them here today to commemorate this anniversary, the 80th anniversary of the liberation of this concentration camp, which has now become known as international holocaust rememberance day. this is seen as likely the last milestone anniversary where we will see a large group of survivors gather. there were also world leaders here, including the president of france, king charles from the united kingdom. they were here with the world to be invited to listen to survivors' stories from the past. they were eyewitnesses to genocide, and the pleas from the survivors that people will understand what happened here and say, never again. in the hopes that what happened in this facility never happens again in the future. back to you. thank you. you can see more of his reporting from poland tonight on nbc nightly news with lester holt. new questions today about america's dominance in the field of artificial intelligence. >> have you heard about deepseek a new chinese ai startup. in some cases, the artificial

can ask questions and it can generate responses relatively quickly. but here is the remarkable thing about deepseek. the chinese company behind is that it only cost them $5.6 million to train its model. compare that to openai and google, which respectively have spent about $80 million and $100 million to train their models. not only are people using this new app and saying, you know what? it generates pretty good answers, but the chinese are doing it at a much cheaper rate, so they say, then the american companies as well. that is called into question the dominance of these u.s. players in this space. i think that is why we have seen tech stocks in the united >> i know the company also said today that they were hit with a cyber attack. my question is, how secured is this? >> the company said that as people were trying to download today. americans may not have been able to sign up because i had to shut down the registrations because of this attack that they say they face. yes, there are cyber security questions in the attack itself. but there are also security questions over u.s. use of this app. if you are using this app, you are plugging in your email

address, you are asking him questions and putting in personal identifying data, which by the way, you should never do that with an ai model. what happens to that data? it is a chinese apple. they are governed by the law of the people's republic of china. it is an important reminder. what we are talking here is a chinese ai app. it is not from the united dates. >> similar concerns to tiktok, get a different gap entirely. how maybe this affected the ai industry as a whole? >> there is a moment that we experienced today in the stock markets, oh my gosh, the united states may not be leading in this space, but the next question is, what are u.s. lawmakers going to do about this? might they try to pin the applicant did with tiktok? it is a question that is beginning to bubble up. >> thank you for checking in for us. we are building for super bowl lix in new orleans. we know who will be playing in the finagame of the season. it will be, in case you are under a rock, the philadelphia eagles taking on the kansas city chiefs. both teams won the conferences last night. that is because those two teams square off in super bowl lvii, just two years ago. the team took on that

championship, beating the eagles by only three points. joining us now, nbc news correspondent morgan chesky, who knows things about football. take us to the eagles and chiefs made it to the football -- super bowl. >> two different stories yesterday. you have the eagles, a very promising commander's team led by jaden daniels, who would have been the first quarterback ever to lead his team to the super bowl as a rookie. but he could not do it against a new and improved eagles team led by jaelyn herz. but with the addition of that guy right there, saquon barkley, incredible running back, first play from scrimmage, 60 yards to the house, going touchdown there. the eagles going on through the top of the commanders, on the chiefs side of things, a familiar foe in the buffalo bills, these are two teams that know each other incredibly well. they faced off in the home stadium for the chiefs there.

>> morgan, the chiefs are not only chasing another super bowl ring, but also their spot in the nfl history books. what are the story lines going on? >> reporter: we heard it from the mouth of ted and travis kelsey last year, before they won their second super bowl in a row. he said , stand on watch for number three. not even tom brady, who, of course, who will be watching every play of this upcoming game, of course, he is still the super bowl leader in all- time wins, but the chiefs could absolutely do something historic here, however, again, they will be refacing a revamped eaeagles te with running back saquon barkley, who came from the new york giants. they have certainly a few things to say about that. but now both teams getting ready for the big game, that is expected to be a close one.

handle the crush of patients. >> if there is a silver lining, it is because covid cases are done this winter. here is melissa parekh. >> a number of americans are feeling the fury of the flu. >> and my husband have had a one-on-one -- 101 fever for a few days. over 6600 feet flu depths and 160,000 hospitalizations. while the flu is surging, covid cases are down, here is why covid cases have become less severe over time. this year, covid peaked most recentlyin august. >> covid is milder this rate with about halflf thrate of hospitalizations now then exactly a year ago. >> reporter: but the flu always speaks in the winter, spreading more easily this year with lower flu vaccination rates, more travel, cold-weather driving people indoors

together, with little competition from covid-19. it was just this week at the cia made his big switch on the previous covid-19 assessment, just days after the cia chief made at this post, saying that they believe with low confidence that the pandemic -- was more likely a chinese lab leak. even though covid hospitalizations are down this week from last year, doctors are still feeling the strain. >> is there a possibility of hospitals reaching capacity at this rate? >> especially when flu cases are just overwhelming. so, even that one tends extra hospitalizations from the flu can literally rake a hospital's capacity, all the more reason to protect yourself today. >> reporter: it is not too late for protection like getting the flu vaccine could that paired with washing hands more frequently and wiping down surfaces cannot drive down the strain and keep your guard up. would keep the conversation going with medical analyst dr. been cooped up. we just heard marissa say that

it is not unusual for flu cases to spike in the winter. should we be concerned by this? >> this is what we expect. we are worried about the peak. i think it will be heavy in places like the southeast, what we are seeing across hospitalizations that may overwhelm icus. but the peak is probably similar to some of the worst flu seasons we have seen in the last few years. >> if some of that were to overwhelm hospitals because too many people go to maybe do not need to get that level of care? >> to an extent, urgent care, e.r., the six hour wait, do you or do you not need to be there? high fever, persistently 100 degrees or higher, for 72 hours, especially if it does not respond to tylenol, another anti-fever medication, short of breath, if you feel like you are going to pass out, those
