>> goal! welcome to "cbs this morning." quite an earthquake with that world cup game. >> that's right, celebrated so hard in mexico, it showed up on the scale. >> it was a great game. we have a big show this morning. gayle king is along the u.s./mexico border. we're going to hear from her in just a moment. alex wagner is here with the battle over the trump administration's zero tolerance policy on immigration is intengwiawmaken bo par condemning it as cruel and inhumane. the administration still defends the strategy. >> thousands of people protested across texas yesterday. they accused the administration

where we are. behind me, this converted warehouse is the first stop for many of the undocumented families caught at the southern border. it's where federal officials try to weed out criminals. an executive officer at this center told us, by the way, look at the center. it's a nondiscrypt, unmarked building. it is build that way for a reason. they don't want you to know what happened behind that building. the 65,000-square foot facility can hold about 1,500 people. yesterday, more than 1,000 were being processed here. that includes more than 500 families, 197 unaccompanied children. david begnaud was part of a select group of reporters who got to see inside the facility. so david, what did you see? it was rare they let you inside. what did you see? >> we saw people in cages. >> cages? >> they looked like animal kennels. we could not record anything. we couldn't talk to anything. all they allowed us to do was take notes. here's what we saw. there were cages with fathers and kids. there were other cagings with mothers and kids.

in one place there was a cage of just children. unaccompanied minors, we're told, that crossed the border alone. some had blank looks on their faces. some were smiling and walking around. we had 15 minutes to document everything. these are the images the government gave us to show you of the rio grande valley processing center. the facility appears to be clean and sterile. children and adults are seen huddled together in the building that's divided up into chain link fencing that looks like a cage. monique grame is an executive officer at the center. she says parents without an extensive criminal history will not be separated from their children if the child is 4 years old or younger. what happens if you're 5 and older and your mother and father doesn't have a significant criminal history? >> the child will not be prosecuted the adults will. >> reporter: under the trump administration's zero tolerance policy, every adult who comes into the country illegally is sent to see a judge for possible prosecution. that is when the parent is separated from the child. that separation can be just a

few hours or if the parent is sent to jail, it can be weeks, months or even years. that was just an administrative decision? >> yes. >> reporter: not a law? >> correct. >> reporter: we saw detainees eating snacks, we're told they get two hot meals a day. they can take showers every other day. and their clothes are laundered. >> people continue coming in in bigger numbers, bigger numbers. >> reporter: manuel padella jr., the region chief, says agents have apprehended 108,000 people so far this year, including more than 39,000 parents and their children, and 14,500 minors who arrived at the border by themselves. what is separating families help you do? >> there is no policy to separate family. the zero tolerance policy is intended to deter people from breaking the law. adults. >> reporter: congressman peter welch represents vermont. he toured the facility yesterday. what can a congressman from vermont to do stop it? >> a congressman from vermont can't do much, but many

congressmen and many americans speaking out can turn it around. this is un-american. it's a pauling. it's unnecessary. >> reporter: at this facility where we are, detainees stay here for no longer than 72 hours. border patrol says what they try and do is put the children separated from their parents are other family members already living in the u.s. sometimes that can take up to 57 days. get this, since the zero tolerance policy went into effect in may, more than 1,100 kids just at this facility have been separated from their parents. >> it is a very complicated story. the bottom line is people, despite all they've been through, want to be in this country. they worked hard to get here and they want to stay. thank you, david. a newly open tent city along the texas border is at the heart of the national immigration debate. the trump administration announced the creation of the temporary housing facility for unaccompanied immigrant minors at the tornillo port of entry last week. each tent holds about 20 children.

mireya villarael is there. good morning. >> reporter: good morning. we're standing about a half mile away from that tent city. and despite several requests to get inside, we are being told by the department of homeland security that this is as close as we can get right now. inside we're being told there are roughly 200 boys between the ages of 16 and 17 years old. capacity, this place could house up to 4,000 children. now, the department of health and human services started using these tents to house unaccompanied minors on friday. the tents are surrounded by layers of fencing, dirt roads and produce fields. this place is desolate out here. during the day, the temperatures get extremely hot. some of the minors staying here were separated from their families that crossed into the u.s. illegally. republican congressman will hurd was allowed inside the encampment. he provided us with some details and shared with us what he saw. >> there are tent facilities. facilities you would see if you went to any kind of natural

disaster site. the tents kind of like the u.n. uses. there are 20 kids per tent. there's two adults in the room. there's a large cafeteria facility. there is a medical center that has six medical professionals there. there's two ambulances. >> reporter: over the last few days, we've seen these kids playing soccer outside. this morning, we heard a dog. so they are trying to give them some sense of normalcy while they are staying here. there are 11,000 children staying at about 100 shelters. some of those who came with their families are being separated and they are at the heart of this controversy, gayle. >> mireya, thank you. earlier this morning, we talked to the chief of the rio grande sector. manuel padella is responsible for implementing the policy. he join us for an interview you'll see only on "cbs this

morning." chief padilla, we thank you very much for joining us. i know you were hearing a lot of the heated conversation. people say this zero tolerance policy actually means zero humanity. what do you say to that? >> thank you, miss gayle, thank you for being here at the busiest location at the border. 40% of all apprehensions happen in this sector. 43% of all seizures of marijuana happen at this sector. with that, those are just numbers. it's a very complex situation. when you have high levels of activity and a lack of resources, personnel, technology, infrastructure, it creates kind of this chaotic environment. this chaotic environment manifests itself by vehicle rollovers. we had a terrible case yesterday -- >> yes. >> we had over 1,000 rescues where the agents are rescuing people on a daily basis. we also have the houses where people are just subjected to ju

they're being held as they're being smuggled. this smuggling really fuels the cartel violence on the south side. and so we're talking about zero tolerance policy, we have done different efforts throughout the years, 2014, we started detaining this population of family units -- >> but chief, let me stop you for just a second. i don't want to go back to 2014. i know that this is complicated for you and your team. but what people are talking about is cruel and inhumane behavior is how it's perceived. do you actually agree with this policy or are you carrying out orders? >> i tell you, i do agree that we have to do something. we created this situation by not doing anything. so what happens is zero tolerance is we were exempting a group, a population, from the law. and what happens when you do that it creates a vacuum, it creates a draw for a certain group of people that arises, that becomes a crisis. i'm give you an example here.

because we were releasing family units, we were not taking any action, may 2nd, just last month, we had an ms-13, full-blown ms-13, accompanied by his 1-year-old child. he thought he was going to get released into the community. that was not the case. >> but help us understand how we are seeing pictures and the stories of mothers and children, i met a woman yesterday, where they were separated for six days. who was fleeing because she was afraid of gang violence. help us understand why some of the families are being told that your children are going to be taken to given a bath and they don't see their children. how is that okay? >> so very respectfully, that's misinformation that's out there. there's a story about removing a child from a breastfeeding mother, absolutely not true. >> but i'm not talking about -- >> every family member gets a sheet with information to keep track of their child, to get information where that child is -- >> but chief padilla, where i

was at yesterday, i had parent after parent tell me they weren't told where their child was going. that they had no way to communicate with their children. that's not misinformation. that's somewhat i heard with my own ears and walng people. >> that is misinformation. very respectfully. so let me give you -- >> how is it misinformation if they're saying it to me? are they not telling the truth to me? >> no, we have a sheet we give -- we came out with a sheet that we give to the parents because that was a potential gap of information. parents just being, you know, apart from their children need information what is going to happen. so there's an information sheet that explains the entire process. you violated the law. you are going to go through the judicial process. while you're going through this process, you are going to be separated from your child, temporarily separated from your child, and then reunited at the point when you serve your sentence. let me give another piece --

>> does this seem like a cruel and inhumane treatment to you? >> ma'am, we do that with u.s. citizens. if a citizen violates the law and that person is accompanied by his or her children and they're going through a judicial process, the children are separated from that parent because the kids are not going through that process. so i think there are a lot of people lose sight. the other thing -- >> do you think we're all too emotional about this? >> i think that's a very good point. if we look at this situation without emotion and without politics, to be honest with you, i'm an operator. >> and you're a father. >> and i am a father. and if we look at this objectively, we have to do something. because when you have this flow of people, and these people are fleeing poverty and fleeing other things. >> and violence. >> totally understood. but when you have this flow of people, that trek is so dangerous. over 1,000 rescues this year. this week. >> they're wrapping me up. i have to say with all due

respect, i think it's hard to look at this story without emotion but i really appreciate you taking the time to talk to us. >> thank you for coming down here. >> thank you, we're very glad to be here. we will have more from south texas in our next half hour. right now, let's send it back to john and norah and alex in new york. >> okay, gayle, thanks so much. very complicated situation. i think what the chief didn't exactly explain is the change in zero tolerance policy that's led to these increases. which is treating these parents that come in as criminals. once you start doing that, then you have to separate the children from them and that's what creates the new conditions in addition to all the old conditions. we'll have a lot more on this. >> we're going to explain that decision and the policy change. >> president trump still blames democrats for this new administration immigration strategy. he tweeted last night, the democrats should get together with their republican counterparts and work something out on the border, security and safety. lawmakers in both parties oppose the current policy and are looking for ways to change it. paula reid is at the white

house. paula, good morning. >> good morning. the administration has conflicting stories about its new policy of separating families who cross the border illegally. last month, chief of staff john kelly called the policy a tough deterrent. the head of the department of homeland security denied there is any such policy. amid those protests over the administration's new policy to separate families across the border illegally, homeland security chief kirstjen nielsen poli sgamilies at policy exts.e the border period. but last friday, the department of homeland security confirmed 1,995 children have been separated from their parents between april 19th and may 31st. >> the democrats, why don't they just say we're for open borders? >> reporter: the white house for now is trying to shift the blame to democrats. >> the democrats forced that law upon our nation. i hate it. i hate to see separation of parents and children.

>> reporter: but democrats and members of the own party say the policy is un-american. >> to say this is anything other than just pure inhumanity at the highest forms of the american government is just wrong. >> it is inconsistent with our american values to separate these children from their parents unless there's evidence of abuse or another very good reason. >> reporter: in this morning's "washington post," former first lady laura bush wrote, our government should not be in the business of warehousing children in converted box stores. and current first lady melania trump issued a separate statement, saying she hates to see children separated from their families. we need to be a country that follows all laws but also a country that governs with heart. but a legislative fix may be difficult at some of the president's core supporters don't want a compromise. former white house chief strategist steve bannon. >> if they have not allocated money for the wall and shut down the government. >> reporter: tomorrow, president trump will huddle with house

republican a rarti clarify his support for a new gop bill that would extend protections to so-called dreamers. initially the president said he wouldn't sign it. then he subsequently clarified and said he would support it. alex. >> paula, thanks. ahead, latest on a strong deadly earthquake that shook violently japan's good morning, everybody. we're waking up to low, thick clouds along the coastline. the tower come harrah is looking to the west and showing the marine layer is in full affect. it's going to burn off for the east bay and south bay. should see the sunshine. 81 in concord. the temperatures are a couple of degrees below average. we're starting a warming trend now. we're in the 90s through this week and coming weekend.

million. it is also the biggest pg-rated opening weekend ever. let's go back to our big story. the intensifying backlash over the separation of migrant families. gayle is in mcallen, texas, near the u.s./mexico border. >> reporter: yes, john, thanks. we're still at the detention center behind me. hundreds of people are awaiting federal prosecution after being charged with crossing the border illegally. there are many children here, separated from their mothers and fathers. some parents may go to jail or could be deported. others could be released to face hearings and civil immigration courts across the united states. for those who are released, many go to shelters for help trying to figure out what is their next step. every day at the mcallen, texas, bus station, dozens of migrant families released from detention are dropped off on the curb, many have just been reunited after spending days apart from other not knowing where to go,

volunteers escort the group three blocks to the catholic charities respite center. children are provided with clean clothes, toys, and enai welme distraction while parents get help on how to reach destinations like los angeles and new york. most families speak little english and are exhausted. sister norma is the center's executive director. >> these people have hurt a lot. >> but they're told they're breaking the law and there are consequences for that. >> they're entering the country asking for protection. how can that be breaking the law? they're not running away. they're simply saying, i need your help, my life is in danger. >> reporter: christina traveled from elle value have salvador w 16-yea er and 10-year-old son. she says they were separated for six days after being arrested at the border. did you think you could be separated from your children? >> no, i never imagined that

would happen. >> did you all feel safe? >> i couldn't see them, and so i was scared. >> reporter: she says she left el salvador fo t would be killed if her daughter refused to join a gang. >> i just came to this country to protect my children and to do something good, not to do anything bad. >> reporter: mariol also traveled with his 10-year-old son. if you knew you could be separated, why take that risk? >> i didn't know that this was going to happen until along the way i found out. >> there's a big welcome sign when you first walk n but there are a lot of people in the country that don't welcome them. what do you say to those people? >> if they see that child i have seen, when those children are looking at me with those faces full of tears asking me, help me, how can you not help that child? >> reporter: i have to tell you,

sister norma was so strong. i said to her, but you're a nun, we expect you to be open and giving and welcoming. she said, that may be true, but we should all model the people we want to be. i thought that was a really good point. few civilians have been inside the shelter where some 2,000 immigrant children are being held separately from their parents. dr. kylene craft visited a texas facility for children under the age of 12. after her colleagues called her and said you need to get down here and see for yourself what is happening. earlier, we asked her what she saw. >> i went into a shelter that was designed for very young children and walked into the toddler room and very different than when you normally see toddlers. they're usually running around and rambunctious. they were very quiet. there was one little girl who was just sobbing and wailing and beating her little fists on the mat. >> what was she saying?

>> she was crying. she was under 2 years old. >> asking for her mother? >> she was just crying. she couldn't be comforted. the staff there were trying to give her books and toys, but they weren't allowed to hold her. they weren't allowed to comfort her. >> is that a rule, you can't hold a crying child? >> i was told that you couldn't comfort or hold a crying child. and we all knew that this child was crying because she wanted her mother. and we couldn't give that to her. >> so you just observed. >> we just observed, yes. >> what are the sphysiological and psychological effects object children? >> so when we look at what happens to the stress response in human beings, in very young children, when we are stressed, we have increased levels of cortisol, of our fight or flight hormones. normally that protects us in a dangerous situation. in the instance where children are separated from their parents, the one buffer ty

have againsthese fight or flight chemicals is gone. so these children are on red alert all the time. they're not able to buffer these different hormones. what this can do is disrupt the synapses and neurological connections that are part of the developing brain. >> can they recover from this kind of trauma? is this long-lasting trauma to the brain? >> this type of trauma can be long lasting. it's difficult to recover from this. we know very young children who are exposed to this type of trauma go on to not develop their speech, not develop their language, not develop their gross and fine motor skills and wind up with developmental delays. >> i've heard some describe this -- and the rhetoric is very heated, the conversation is very heated. i've heard some people describe this as a form of child abuse. do you see it that way? >> it is a form of child abuse. as much as i respect our president and the office in th

week ago with the president's daughter and grandchild interacting with each other. if you look at this picture, you see the joy between parent and child. you see the child who is responding to their parent. you see that child's brain being built. every one of our children in this world deserve that same relationship with their parent, the same nurturing. >> at the end of the day, that is what i've learned too. that's what all these parents want. >> it is. and this is what we know builds child health, builds development, builds up children. and this is what every parent wants for their child. it's what every child needs from their parent. >> you heard the chief saying some of the criminals are getting in with the children. >> when you separate a parent and child at the border and that child is crying for mommy, you ab d't have a human

trafficker. >> all right. dr. kraft, thank you for joining us. we appreciate you joining us today. >> thank you. >> for now, back to alex in new york. >> thanks, gayle. it is so important to underscore and to help us all understand what the immediate and long-term health effects of this trauma are on these children who are increasingly younger and younger and younger as a result of these separations. babies and toddlers. >> let's put a finer point on that, which is of the 2,000 children reportededly the hhs that are being separated from their families, there are about 100 that are under the age of 4. and the care that they may or may not be receiving without a parent there, i think, is exactly what dr. kraft is talking about, who's the head of the american academy of pediatrics. >> and we should just note, there are two groups here. there are the kids who come unaccompanied, and there's children who come with parents that are being separated. that's what we're talking about, just to keep people clear. >> they are being rendered unaccompanied minors. okay. tesla is responding to what it calls an extraordinarily unusual

people in chain listeninged enclosures. he's calling them cages. they get two meals a day and can shower every other day and children have access to entertainment. some of the kids here came alone. others are being separated from their parents. about 2,000 children were separated from their parents in a six-week period. oregon senator jeff merkley is making his second trip to the border demanding answers about the zero tolerance policy. two weeks ago, he was blocked from touring a children's immigration facility near the mexican border. but yesterday, the senator and other democrats visited that children's facility and other border patrol centers. senator merkley joins us. very good to see you. >> great tyou. >> it's taken a minute but ih thinko wbe finally this conver is front and center. you came two weeks ago why? >> i came because i heard these stories of children being ripped out of their and i paought that can't be right.srm that can't b ae truntes' here i america that families awaiting asylum, feing psecud hereer in the u.s. i came down to find out.

>> what did you find out? >> i found out it was true that right here in this facility across the street children are being separated from their parents and shipped off to detention centers like the one in brownsville where i thought two weeks ago a room was 1,000 were being held. it's almost 1500 kids are behind those doors. >> chief padilla said many times you have gang members using children as pawns to get inside the borders here. what do you say to that? >> i visited ten mothers yesterday evening who have been separated from their children and all kinds of different conditions. i don't think any of them were gang members. they were absolutely frantic about what's occurred to their kids and what will occur to them. >> this has become seemingly such a political, partisan issue. president trump has said he's blaming the democrats for this. there have been no republican senators here. do you wish some of your republican colleagues had come and is this a problem the democrats are causing? >> yes, i absolutely wish my

republican colleagues would come down. i heard over the weekend that susan collins, jeff flake were speaking up about this policy. we're hearing evangelical leaders start to speak up. so they'll get more space for the republican colleagues to feel they can champion the fact that here in america we don't treat people in this fashion as they are awaiting asylum hearing. >> are your republican colleagues reaching out to you? je>>ff, we completely agree. this is terrible policy and we'll call up and whisper to the administration. but they won't say publicly. >> why don't you think they'll say something publicly? >> i think they feel this is -- their base is watching news media that is so far to the right, they are describing this as a choice between open borderi ve atus e all. we've had programs, case management programs, worked ver asylum, we don't want to

mistreat them. if they're going to be deported, we don't want to mistreat them. you mentioned lady liberty. lady liberty has said give me your tired, poor, huddled masses and now she's saying if you're fleeing affliction abroad, we'll handcuff you, throw you in prison and rip away your children. >> do you worry that the world is certainly watching this story. do you worry that there are -- our perception in the world will -- do you worry that people will be negatively influenced about their opinions about us watching what they see? >> absolutely. for so long we've been champions of human rights around the world. we've other dictators who are engagedto id n t ealthn cleansing, in afflicting minorities and said stop. that's not the way you treat people. it's not the way you treat refugees coming to your borders. there's a whole international protocol of respect and dignity for refugees getting a fair hearing. yet here we are violating it. >> the president keeps saying it's a law and he's blaming the democrats.

what is your message? >> my message is as completely an administrative decision. they announced it may 7th and implemented it in april. in the first six weeks, 2,000 children were separated, not because of the law but because of a trump decision. and now -- >> that can be changed. >> it can be changed in a moment. in a moment. >> all right, senator. yesterday was father's day. we hoped he would change it on father's day. >> that did not happen. >> thank you for standing here. the bugs are tearing him up. thank you very much. we really appreciate it. it's not comfortable here. let's send it back to norah in new york. >> it's so interesting to hear some of your reporting as you've been talking to the families and also to dr. colleen kraft who talks about the effect this will have on children who have been separated from their parents. >> it really is heartbreaking. and when i was in the facility, what you see is that these are parents who care about their kids. there's a father whose little boy is laying in his lap. he's rubbing his head. there's another father who --

somebody is hot rodding. there's a father stroking his daughter's hair. there's a mother -- another mother who is just rubbing her daughter's back. these are all people that just say we want a better life and they are willing to risk their own lives to be here. imagine you get here and think finally i made it and then you're separated from your children. or when you'll see them again. that's what's so frightening. you don't know when you'll see them again. chief padilla said they're given a list and told exactly where their kids are going to be. that's not what i saw yesterday. that's not what i heard yesterday either. >> gayle, thank you. republican and democratic presidents have struggled with this issue of illegal immigration. but the trump administration is the first to enforce a zero tolerance policy that has those children separated from their parents that gayle was talking about. in "the washington post" this morning, former first lady laura bush is weighing in. she calls the trump policy cruel and immoral and said it breaks her heart. we wanted to take a closer look

at just how we got to this point. >> i would do almost anything to deter the people from central america to getting on this very, very dangerous network. >> when white house chief of staff john kelly was still secretary of homeland security in 2017, he acknowledged the trump administration was considering a more aggressive immigration policy, including separating children from their parents if they try to cross illegally. >> they will be well cared for as we deal with their parents. >> what developed into the trump administration's current approach is modeled after "operation streamline." a program started by the bush administration in 2005. that program referred all illegal immigrants for prosecution. but made exceptions for adults traveling with children. the obama administration then t ta m familiesod togetherel in immigration and customs enforcement custody.

democratic, republican presidents. they're now at 95% capacity. what's different is the separating of children from their families. >> and the children getting lost in the systems in some cases, not going home with their parents. >> that's right. the number of people coming has increased. that's created pressure on the what's created additional is pressure. coming up -- the emergency room doctor caught on camera making fun of a patient who is in severe distress. that is just about two

i'm april kennedy and i'm an arborist with pg&e in the sierras. since the onset of the drought, more than 129 million trees have died in california. pg&e prunes and removes over a million trees every year to ensure that hazardous trees can't impact power lines. and since the onset of the drought we've doubled our efforts. i grew up in the forests out in this area and honestly it's heartbreaking to see all these trees dying. what guides me is ensuring that the public is going to be safer and that these forests can be sustained and enjoyed by the community in the future.
