"why wound you ban us? we are the victims. in fact, american isis fighters have come here." troops showed us an s.u.v. that militants had stripped, ready to be turned into a car bomb. the most feared weapon in the isis arsenal.

disappointed that trump might make it near impossible for his soldiers to start a new life in the u.s. "if america bans muslims, it's not the right thing to do," he told us. "america is a multiethnic and religious nation, a country of freedom." the general told us the next and final phase against isis in western mosul may be the toughest, scott. it's the old part of the city. the streets are too narrow for some military vehicles and there's still 750 now civilians trapped there. >> charlie d'agata covering the war on isis. charlie, thank you. investors believe that the new president will be good for business. we asked barry petersen to look into the economic impact of two oil pipeline projects that mr. trump signed off on this week. >> reporter: president trump touted the benefits of building the pipeline. >> a lot of jobs. 28,000 jobs. great construction jobs.

"cbs this morning." from the broadcast center in new york city, i'm scott pelley. this is the "cbs overnight news." >> hi, everyone, welcome to the "overnight news." i'm demarco morgan. president trump continues to fire off executive orders in week one of his administration. the latest are designed in the president's words, to restore control of america's borders. he wants to cut off federal funds to so called sanctuary cities and he moved to fulfill his campaign promise to build a wall along the border with mexico. margaret brennan begins our coverage. >> beginning today the united states of america gets back control of its borders. >> reporter: on his first you visit to the department of

3:32 am
surge of undocumented migrants. >> who is going to pay for the wall? >> mexico! >> reporter: while mr. trump has long said that mexico will finance the wall, its government has balked. the white house proposal does not include a cost estimate, and it will be up to congress to fund the project. today the president told abc news that u.s. taxpayers may have to front the money. >> all it is is we'll be reimbursed at a later date from whatever transaction we make from mexico. >> reporter: mexico is america's third largest trading partner, and today mexican officials came to the white house for their first meeting with the new administration. they were greeted with the news that president trump has ordered a review of all u.s. aid to their country. mr. trump's second executive order would end all federal funds to so-called sanctuary cities, which refuse to arrest or detain immigrants living in the u.s. illegally. carter evans has that story.
3:33 am
>> reporter: when it comes to taking on president trump's immigration policy, california has drawn a line in the sand. >> in california, immigrants are an integral part of who we are and what we've become. >> reporter: governor brown's message this week was blunt. >> let me be clear, we will defend everybody, every man, woman, and child who has come here for a better life and has contributed to the well-being of our state. >> reporter: california has 18 sanctuary cities. brian barca was born in mexico and brought to the u.s. at age three. are you worried you will get pulled over for speeding one day and end up getting detained? >> yes, that's everyday life. >> reporter: he lives in los angeles where mayor eric garcetti has instructed police not to enforce immigration laws. even if it threatens federal funding in los angeles? you stand to get up to $500 million this year. >> these are dollars that protect our ports and keep homeless veterans off the streets. >> you're saying pulling funding

3:35 am
harvard, oxford, he sailed through his confirmation hear togs the appeals court. this news has come as a disappointment to some conservatives. they were urging trump to tap judge william pryor, he's a former state attorney general, a highly regarded judge who has been at the top of president trump's list from the beginning. but democrats filibustered pryor's lower court nomination. and senate republicans said they are worried about his confirmation fight with democrats. so gorsuch and a third contender, judge thomas hardman, are seen as less of a fight than pryor. hardiman is a lesser known quantity. president trump is replacing a conservative icon and if one of these nominees turns out to be more liberal than justice scalia, he will have turned the court to the left. and that's why many conservatives were urging him to
3:36 am
appoint a known principled conservative like pryor. president trump's executive action to approve two controversial pipelines could be headed to court. a native american tribe is threatening legal action to stop construction of the dakota access pipeline. when completed, it will stretch more than 2300 miles and carry more than a million barrels of oil a day. protesters say they won't let that happen. barry petersen has the latest. >> reporter: heartland protesters gathered across the country tuesday night. chanting their criticism of the president. hours after he put his support for the pipelines in writing. trump had different messages for two pipeline companies. but the bottom line was the same -- get them built. >> if it's a no, we'll give them a quick no. if it's a yes, let's start building. >> reporter: he asked
3:37 am
transcanada to resubmit its application for keystone. the company agreed. for the dakota pipeline, he ordered it to be approved in an expedited manner. the dakota was opposed by the standing rock sioux tribe members. they argue it disturbs sacred line and a potential leak could be catastrophic. in a statement, standing rock chairman said, the existing pipeline route risks infringing on our treaty rights, contaminating our water, and the water of 17 million americans downstream. kelsey warren is the ceo of energy transfer partners, the company backing the pipeline. she foreshadowed the decision after trump was elected.

3:43 am
earned a license to dispense medical marijuana in maryland. >> some of the biggest anxieties that we all share regardless of whether we touch a plant or not is this concept that our businesses are at risk. so our incomes are at risk. that is an issue that comes up with my kids a lot. >> reporter: shontay hopkins greens has a 10-year-old. >> for me, the challenge is just -- every time i answer a question, it leads to more questions with my son. but i have that relationship with him where i try to answer it in an age appropriate way. but he can ask me anything and he does. >> reporter: jennifer culpeper is a mom of two. her company does brand strategy and graphic design for the marijuana industry. >> i do feel like i have a timeline. my 9-year-old cannot endure middle school without this

3:45 am
physician in indianapolis had an idea. >> the first question he asked is if i was taking hot showers to find relief. when he asked me that question, i basically fell into tears, because i knew he had an answer. >> reporter: the answer -- chs. it's caused by heavy long-term use of various forms of marijuana. for unclear reasons, the nausea and vomiting are relieved by hot showers or baths. >> they'll often present to the emergency department three, four, five times before we can sort this out. >> reporter: dr. kenneth herr is a physician in colorado. he co-authored a study showing since 2009, when medical marijuana became widely available, emergency room visits for chs in two colorado hospitals nearly doubled. in 2012, the state legalized recreational marijuana. >> it's something that before legalization, we almost never saw. now we're seeing it quite frequently. >> reporter: outside of
3:46 am
colorado, when a patient does end up in an emergency room like this one, the diagnosis is often missed partly because doctors don't know about chs. chs can lead to dehydration and kidney failure, but usually resolves within days of stopping drug use. that's what happened to crowder who has been off all forms of marijuana for seven months. >> now all kinds of ambition has come back. i desire so much more in life. at 37 years old, it's a little late to do it, but better now than never. >> reporter: chs has only been recognized for the past decade, and nobody knows how many people suffer from it. ok, let's try this. it says you apply the blue one to me. here? no. have a little fun together, or a lot.

3:50 am
but several hawaiian families say some of the land on the other side of this wall belongs to them. and what's on the other side is some pretty spectacular real estate. the 700 acres rising above a long sand beach on the coastline of kawaii looked so good to mark zuckerberg that he reportedly paid $100 million for it. on facebook, he posted pictures of his family visiting the property over the christmas holiday. but it's a piece of paradise tara and other members of her extended family claim as part of their heritage. >> i grew up here. i used to go down to the beach and fish. >> reporter: she says in the 1800s, a distant relative bought part of the land now owned by zuckerberg. she says he never sold it. >> thus giving us, his descendants, the right to that land. and we're excited to be able to have an opportunity to fight for that. >> reporter: to fight to keep

3:52 am
>> reporter: last month, zuckerberg filed eight lawsuits that could allow him to claim all the outstanding land in question. here the no trespassing sign alone offends them who say part of this land is theirs. but they understand why he covets this place. after all, it has a view fit for a billionaire. and now zuckerberg may be changing his mind about forcing the families to sell. in a statement late yesterday, he said "we are reconsidering. we want to make sure we are following a process that protects the interests of property owners, respects the traditions of native hawaiians, and preserves the environment." >> the bigger issue is who really needs 700 acres? that's a big chunk of our island, of paradise here. >> reporter: the representative told cbs that it's his duty to stand guard until the last
