we have the greatest base in the history of politics. you know what you are? you're the super elites. >> reporter: even as house republicans struggle to pass an immigration bill and democrats appear eager to stoke the controversy, the president jumped on some democratic calls to abolish immigration and customs enforcement, calls that only a handful of democrats have made. >> democrats don't like i.c.e. they don't like border patrol. they don't like your police. they don't like anybody. the democrats want tote illegals coming into this country. >> reporter: and even though funding remains in doubt, there came the familiar border wall chant. >> build that wall! >> reporter: and promise. >> it's not build that wall anymore. it's continue building that wall. because we're building it. >> reporter: hrlhe esident suck a more paic tone t familiest the br. >>et cregether. reporter: but
7:06 am
administration signals continued as attorney general jeff sessions said the zero tolerance policy for border crossers remained. >> we're going to continue to prosecute those adults who enter here illegally. >> reporter: even as border patrol said it had stopped referring undocumented immigrants with children last week for prosecution. >> what we have is two extremes. >> reporter: when it comes to immigration and actually governing, there is this house republican bill that's supposed to be voted on later this week. the white house fears house republicans don't have enough votes to pass it. house republican leaders would like a stronger white house endorsement to help get those votes. gayle, that's what you call in politics a catch 22. >> all right. major, you always put it in perspective. thank you so much. we're learning new information about the daily lives of undocumented children being held in the government centers. video provided by the government shows tents in texas housing more than 300 teenagers. it cost about $700 a day to care
7:07 am
for them. yesty.illarreal was good morning. >> reporter: good morning. we've spoken with a lot of parents here in el paso that were recently released from detention. a number of them haven't seen their children in over a month. and despite what the government is saying, they still don't know when they will be reunified again. >> first they took her son, then they took her to jail. >> reporter: she tells us she was separated from her 6-year-old son after they crossed the border. she believes he's in arizona. >> she says she's tried several times to try and talk to her son, and that has not happened. >> reporter: she was released from a detention center and is one of 32 immigrant parents staying at the enunciation house in el paso. >> the average length of time the parents have been in detention was 25 days. >> reporter: taylor levy is the coordinator of enunciation
7:08 am
house. >> 90% of the families, the parents we spoke to, have not personally spoken to their children since being separated. >> reporter: we toured a tent city in tornillo, texas, where 326 teenagers are being housed. our cameras were not allowed inside, but the government provided this video. we learned children spend their day on a regimented military style schedule. they eat three meals a day and are given two snacks. many spend their free time playing soccer. the facility has been open for nearly two ek woos. in that time, the department of health and human services tells us 70 children have been released to family or sponsors. >> we've established where the parents are almost immediately when the child comes into our care. >> reporter: mark weber is with hhs. >> overall, these kids are connected with their parents. >> reporter: but enunciation house director rueben garcia disagrees. >> i have 32 parents here will say to him, that's categorically untrue. >> reporter: federal authori
7:09 am
although they still have their immigration cases pending. the incident commander at the tent city in tornillo says this facility was specifically put together because of the separation policy. he said it was a dumb, stupid decision that should have never been made. >> great reporting there. thank you. president trump is warning one of his loudest critics in congress who says his cabinet member should be confronted in public. democratic congresswoman maxine waters has called for the president's impeachment. she urged her supporters last weekend to shame administration officials over mr. trump's policies. the president claimed yesterday that waters called for harm to his supporters and said, be careful what you wish for. ed o'keefe is on capitol hill with the loss of civility in politics. ed, good morning. >> reporter: good morning, norah. senate minority leader chuck schumer didn't name waters yesterday but said that no one should call for the harassment of political opponents. that's not right, that's not
7:10 am
american. now, anger is nothing new in american politics. you talk to most democrats, and they say this all began during the 2016 campaign when then-candidate trump openly taunted his opponents and encouraged violence at his campaign rallies. the owner of the red hen restaurant in lexington, virginia, stephanie wilkinson, ignored our questions about her decision to ask white house press secretary sarah sanders to leave her restaurant. >> we're allowed to disagree, but we should be able to do so freely and without fear of harm. >> reporter: sanders addressed the incident monday and denounced the threats made against her. >> healthy debate on ideas and political philosophy is important. but the calls for harassment and push for any trump supporter to avoid the public is unacceptable. >> if you see anybody from that cabinet in restaurant, in a department store, at a gasoline station, you get out and you create a crowd.
7:11 am
>> reporter: but california democratic congresswoman maxine waters declined to apologize for those comments she made over the weekend. instead, she blamed the president for increased hostilities. >> this don the con man will say anything. he is the one that's responsible for promoting violence. >> it's the party of maxine waters. >> reporter: at his rally monday, the president only briefly called out waters and made no mention of sanders. but during trump campaign stops confrontations and mr. trump didn't shy away from rhetoric promoting violence. >> i'd like to punch him in the face. i'll tell you. you see somebody getting ready to throw a tomato, knock the crap out of them, would you. seriously. >> reporter: lawmakers from both sides of the aisle are calling for civility. >> i would always hope that we would appeal to our better angels. >> we're close to reaching rock bottom and continuing to dig.
7:12 am
>> reporter: now, an arizona congressman, andy biggs, issued a censure motion on monday night that condemns waters. he says her comments, quote, condone public violence and encourage action that jeopardized the safety own security of government officials. it's unclear when or if that censure motion would ever get a vote. >> ed, thanks. nancy pelosi, the democratic leader in the house, also, like chuck schumer, basically rebutted what waters had called for in a tweet. so there is a message coming from the leadership, we're not going to get voters that we need to win back the house if this is the rhetoric that defines our party. >> they seem to be reluctant to mention her by name. i come from the two wrongs don't make a right school. seems like we're on a big slope to get to the bottom as fast as possible. i think a lot of people could use michelle obama's memo. they didn't get the memo. when they go low, we go high. a lot of people need that memo again. it's very unfortunate to see what's happening on both sides. nothing is going to get done if we continue this way.
7:13 am
nothing. stocks rebounded this morning after big sell-offs blamed on the trade fight between the u.s. and its economic allies. the dow, nasdaq, and s&p 500 all dropped sharply yesterday. shares of harley-davidson lost almost 6% yesterday. the motorcycle maker based in wisconsin told the s.e.c. that retaliatory european union tariffs will force it to move some production out of the u.s. more than a year ago, harley executives med president trump at the white house to celebrate the company's success. in a tweet this morning, the president said the company is viewing tariffs as an excuse. melody has beens melody hobson is with us from seattle. >> good morning, john. >> you talked to folks at harley-davidson. the president says this will get worked out. what are they feeling? >> i talked to someone close to the company. they made it clear that this is a big problem. the company is very troubled by
7:14 am
this. they have to act because they have 40,000 bikes they sell in the eu. it's their second biggest market. it represents 16% of their revenues. and they can't afford to lose the sales. so when tariffs go up by 25 percentage points, you have to do something because they feel they cannot pass on what would be on average about $2200 per bike. they cannot pass that cost on to their customer. >> melody, have you heard how many american workers will lose their job? that's one question. and number two, do you know what other effects we could see because of this? >> so first, they're not saying what the job issue is. now, there's some statements that have been made that jobs will not be lost in america, but they're also saying very clearly, and my source close to the company made it very clear to me that they feel like they have to hedge their bets in terms of production outside of the u.s. simply because of u.s. policy and not knowing how to
7:15 am
deal with it. this is a company that prided its on its made in america themes. they're saying we're being driven outside of the company, creating more jobs, because we have to if we have to deal with these kind of trade war and tensions. the other follow-on effect the american mentioned to me was, one, they have to invest incrementally in some of these facilities outside of the united states. they have not said where they are. and they also said you have to look at what we will do with research and development, how that might be affected by this, where those numbers may have to go down. lastly, interesting, they said the tax benefit they got from the tax cut that was so trumpeted over the last few months is basically being wiped out by the fact they're going to suck up this cost and eat the cost of the tariffs for the buyer in the eu for the next 9 to 18 months. they're going to eat that cost until they can get those production facilities up and running elsewhere in the world. >> all right. >> so nullifying the effect is what you're saying. interesting. >> that's right.
7:16 am
>> all right. thank you very much, melody. always good to see you. >> thank you. eight suspects are now in custody in connection to the vicious murder of a new york city teenager. hundreds of people filled the streets yesterday in the bronx to remember 15-year-old lesandro guzman feliz. a relative says the gang suspected of killing him admitted on social media that they had attacked the wrong person. demarco morgan is in the bronx ko close to the scene of this terrible, vicious crime. demarco, good morning. >> reporter: good morning. there's a growing memorial just outside of the store where guzman feliz was murdered. the gang members believed to be involved in his death reportedly thought guzman feliz had leaked a sex tape of one of the members relatives. the family saying they don't want an apology, they want justice. mourners fill the street. >> i'm so confused. i can't cope with it. >> reporter: the 15-year-old known as junior was beaten and
7:17 am
stabbed repeatedly by five men. nearby hospital after the attack where he died. >> my baby. >> reporter: his father rushed home from a job in florida when he learned about the attack, but it was too late. >> i miss him. i miss him a lot. i don't know what happened to my boy. >> reporter: community members mobilized online under the new hashtag justice for junior. police used social media to solicit tips and were flooded with information which reportedly helped identify multiple suspects. all of junior's suspected attackers are alleged members of a gang. family members believe the incident was a case of mistaken identity and claimed the gang even apologized to them on social media. >> sorry, no apologize. bring my son back. he was a good and sw>>ter: nior
7:18 am
say he dreamed of becoming a detective. james o'neill was at his wake with hundreds of others. >> i'm very hathankful for the support from everybody. make me feel like my son going to have justice. >> reporter: a gofundme page set up for the family has raised more than $240,000. cardib. reportedly donated $8,000 to that fund. there is a memorial, another wake set up for sometime tonight. his funeral is scheduled for wednesday. >> so senseless, demarco. >> one of the worst stories i've heard. the mom said that she's forever changed, that her heart will never be the same. to hear this guy was a really good kid, good student and wanted to be a cop. >> wanted to be a cop. >> school officials said he was a kind, sweet, always smiling. >> makes no sense. all right. a dangerous wildfire threatening hundreds of california homes is. the fire grew to more than

7:21 am
the chief justice is writing this decision. >> they are saying that the court has failed to recognition key issues of discrimination. in his majority opinion, and we'll still be getting through this opinion, it's a pretty thick decision with several different dissents. in his opinion the chief justice is saying that presidents get deference on the national security questions. and this president has given a rational for excludeing these specific countries, five plus north korea and venezuela pause they don't have proper security screenings in place in those
7:22 am
countries for travelers coming to the united states. the supreme court in that decision with the conservatives in the majority in today's decision is saying that presidents get that deference and right now at least this decision signals that they are not going to carve out an exception for president trump. t president trump if there's good rational for his policies based in law, then they are going to treat him as they have in the past with past presidents. >> thank you very much. as you point out, it's a big victory for president trump today. major garrett is at the white house with reaction from the administration on this. major, good morning. >> no official reaction yet, but you can be sure the administration will hail this supreme court decision. the white house always said that every version of its travel ban was constitutionally defensible and yet it rewrote the first and rewrote the second. the third variation was much more in keeping with practices of immigration and dialogue with the effect and named nations.
7:23 am
and these travel bans said because the united states was uncertain about not only information sharing but security. apparatus within those countries, those people who did not have a legitimate reason to enter the united states should and could be blocked. and do so legal ly. and that is the administration's position about that third travel ban. it was always viewed here at the white house as much more tightly written from a legal perspective and much more proceed yurlly enforceable. >> any idea when you'll hear anything from the white house. >> very soon, i would expect. >> i would think so too. good news for the white house today. thank you very much. coverage will continue throughout the day on your local news on this cbs station and our 24 hour streaming network. you can watch it at cbsnews.com. >> we'll have a full. wrap up tonight on theevenin of you ll returcb m cbs new s

the author of "the little house on the prairie" series has had her name removed from a prestigious children's award because of the way her work portrays native and african-americans. she was the first recipient of the wilder award in 1954, three years before she died. the association for library service to children board voted over the weekend to change the name to the children's literature legacy award. the board says in a statement, her works reflect dated cultural attitudes toward indigenous people and people of color that contradict modern acceptance and understanding of diverse communities.

8:19 am
the immune system attacks the cancer. what you're seeing is at three years, at the best cancer centers in the country, 3%, 4% of people are alive with this aggressive form of brain cancer. in this study, 21%. it's not 100%, but it's a dramatic advance in the treatment of this disease. >> shooting the polio virus into your brain sounds very dangerous. how risky is it? >> yeah, i would not do this at home, gayle. it's certainly risky, as any treatment is. but unfortunately, at this stage in disease, you're willing to take risks because the patients may have weeks to months to live with this form of brain cancer. but it causes inflammation, and that inflammation -- sometimes in the beginning they gave too much virus and actually killed too much of the cells at once and caused seizures in the patients. so the key is kill a little bit at a time to hopefully get a significant benefit for the patient. >> david, do you do it after those other treatments, chemotherapy and radiation? >> yeah, john, that's the key. standard treatment works. chemotherapy and radiation buys time with this disease.

sin. >> before i came, i was talking to experts and they said you should not ask how they attempted suicide, and said why is that an impolite or inappropriate question in. >> it's been proven to be unsafe. >> it triggers people. i read a story about how deeply affected kate spade was by robin williams' suicide death. >> yes. >> we know robin williams' death was covered, we knew exactly how he did it, where he did t what he did it with and kate spade t did it the same way and described it and anthony bourdain. why make that gore factor the important part? what about the pain? >> sometimes we're thinking, well, i don't want to talk about it, because if i ask her how she's doing or ask him how he's doing that will make him feel really bad, and then i could trigger something. should we ask you? should we go and talk to you about it? what should we do? >> there's the myth out there if you ask someone if they're suicidal that it will trigger a thought of suicide. that's not true. if the thought wasn't there,
8:37 am
you're not going to make it there. you're not planning it there. i think what people tend to do because they're afraid, you're not thinking about doing something stupid? i know you think it's stupid so i might not tell you the truth. it's really actually like hey, you seem really down. have you had thoughts of harm? are you okay? you want to go for a walk? >> did all of you hide how you were feeling? >> i absolutely did a fantastic job of always being on point. i was the ocd mom, the ocd coo. >> but see this is what scares me, lisa, if we don't know you're in trouble, how are your friends and family supposed to help you, if you all hide all of this from us? >> because we need to know it's safe to tell you. if it's not safe to tell you, we're going to hide it. i don't want to say we have to hide. >> but do you hide. >> i'm making a choice to now step out even though i've lost my job for disclosing that i had a mental health issue. >> what happened? >> i took on a job at a pediatric office and i was just
8:38 am
doing some like clerk work and the person who attacked me reached out to me and that triggered me, i started having thoughts of suicide. i told my boss i'm having thoughts of suicide and she says oh my god, why don't you go home. why don't you take care of yourself. do you know i went to work the next day and i heard her telling the doctor we have to fire her, she's crazy. >> you heard her say that? >> i had openly shared that and i lost my job. there is a real risk to sharing. >> i heard, guys, that everybody or many people have a safe plan. >> i have a safe plan. >> i would be curious to hear what is your safe plan. >> my resources taught me to have a core group of six people, and they received a safety plan that basically says if i'm not leaving my house, if i'm not returning your phone calls, if your texts go unanswered for days at a time, if you see me overly happy, or appearing to be overly happy, those are symptoms
8:39 am
that you need to reach out and ask me how i am. >> my plan is less formal. the person who attempted suicide at 23 and the person i am now at 35, they're completely different human beings. i have a beautiful, perfect life now. i have an amazing wife, i have a new son, and so when things get hard for me, and they do, auto i'll not having suicidal thoughts but i'm depressed, i just tell everybody. i'm like hey, it's not awesome today. >> greg, do you have a safe plan? >> the only plan i have is when i wake up, every morning, i find a reason to live that day. >> what was your reason today to live? >> to be, to do this. somebody will see this, and they'll say if he can do it, i can do it and they'll go get help. >> wow, gayle. >> i have to tell you, i didn't know any of them of course but i was so touched by every single one of them, sharing their stories so candidly. we should figure out a way to
8:40 am
put it online because it is so good and so important what they had to say. they said you're not giving anybody ideas and if you suspect something, you really do just have to ask them. kris said if you're good with your words, use your words. if you're a hugger, go and hug them. worst thing you can do is to say nothing. >> right. >> because you think if i don't call attention to it, it will go away. it won't. >> i know we talked about it, your wanting to find more understanding. i learned more from listening to them than i think i have in reading everything i've read, just about the idea of how you know when someone is safe, how you know when someone is in trouble. i mean, incredibly useful information. >> and that expression, making it safe to tell you, creating a space in your relationship with people you think are in trouble or might not be where it's safe for them to tell you, that was amazing. >> you would think of the famous people that we know, you think surely they had friends and family, but if you don't feel safe, they said, they are not going to say anything to you. that was very, very eye opening to me. >> really. >> i liked all of those so much.
8:41 am
>> i did, to, strong people. >> i'm grateful they shared their story, they felt comfortable and safe enough to sit out in that park and talk to us so openly. bravo to you, andy merless who edited that piece. he had a lot to work with. if you or someone you know is in crisis contact the national suicide prevention lifeline, this is important, too. i said who is going to call a lifeline? they said you'd be surprised how many people call 1-800-273-8255 and find more information on our website at cbsthismorning.com. later this morning on "cbs this morning," on our podcast, very important podcast we'll feature dr. christine moutier chief medical officer for american national suicide prevention to discuss warning signs of suicide and resources available. i talked to her first before i talked to that group. you can hear the "cbs this morning" podcast on apple's podcast app or wherever you like to download your podcast. it is deal talk.

8:46 am
michelle, good morning. >> reporter: good morning. it's the moment every driver dreads -- being pulled over by a police officer. and while trooper patterson began the traffic stop with great roadside manner, it ended with a twist neither man expected. >> how's it going? i'm all right, thank you. new jersey state police -- >> reporter: with his body cam rolling, trooper michael patterson pulled over a white bmw for what he thought was a routine traffic stop. >> i grew up here -- >> reporter: after small talk, retired police officer matthew bailey realized they were from the same neighborhood and had crossed paths before thanks to the trooper's mom. >> i was in labor and didn't realize it. before you know it, i'm on the bed, and michael's head is crowning. >> reporter: every birthday, michael's mother recounted the story of how an officer helped his dad deliver him at home. >> the first baby i delivered.
8:47 am
at the house in the bedroom. yeah. by myself. >> that was me. that was me. i'm like, wow, is this really happening now? i just extended my hand, i said, "sir, that was me. that was me. my name is michael patterson. it's a pleasure to meet you. thank you for helping deliver me." >> this is the home where michael was born and raised. >> reporter: matthew, michael, and his mom returned to the scene of his birth 27 years later. what was going through your mind? >> at that point, i didn't have any children of my own. i had never seen it, experienced it. and i was trying to recall academy days of training. >> reporter: they train in the academy for this? >> brief segment. >> much too brief. >> reporter: the reunion of the families almost didn't happen. >> not thinking about, hey, why don't you get out, let's take a picture together. that's not going through my mind as a police officer. i drove to his house it wasn't far from the car stop.
8:48 am
and i wrote him a note. i left it on his door and said, sir, you know, my name is michael patterson, the trooper that stopped you. my family suggested that we take pictures together. so you know, if you don't mind, you know, give me a call at your earliest convenience. maybe we'll connect. >> reporter: he got that picture and a lot more. >> i haven't been there yet -- >> try it, it's good. >> i'm grateful to mr. bailey for coming to assist, and everyone asks why i get upset. i get upset because i honestly don't know what would have happened had they not come to my aid. so i just want to tell mr. bailey, i appreciate him coming. >> yeah, absolutely. it was my pleasure. great experience. i think a greater power somehow made that meeting happen. and i'm not sure where it's going to take us, and i'm willing to go on the journey. >> we're going to stay in touch because this is a special relationship. i'm sorry. it's a special relationship, and
8:49 am
it was meant to happen. things just don't randomly happen like that. >> reporter: some people might call this serendipity. what do you call it? >> purpose. >> yes. >> reporter: purpose, indeed. well, needless to say, bailey was not ticketed for those tinted windows. the universe has seemed to want to bring these two together for a very long time. when michael was about 10 years old, they ran into each other in a grocery store. that meeting didn't leave much of an impression on young michael. but this time i think might be the charm. gayle? >> i'll say. i love that story. i also love michelle's expression like, thank you, mr. bailey. i thought she was going to start crying. >> impactful story. >> the mom, you know, thinking thank god for that officer. >> beautiful story. we'll be right back. you're watching "cbs this morning."
