group of progressive democrat lawmakers are racist. the president tweeting they should go back and help fix the totally broken and crime infested places from which they came. mr. trump tweeted again this morning saying, quote, when will the radical left congresswomen apologize to our country? he appears to be directing his attacks at a group of four freshmen congresswomen all of whom are american citizens. we'll go to the white house. paula, the president clearly wants to be having this conversation this morning. he is continuing the conversation. what do you think his objective is? >> reporter: tony, the tweets come amid a week of infighting between the more progressive members of congress and house speaker nancy pelosi but if the president intended to capitalize on the tensions, it back fired as nothing unites warring factions like a common enemy. >> he really wants to divide us against each other. >> reporter: democrats swiftly denounced the president's tweet sunday. >> i believe he is racist because he demeans women of color. he demeans people of color. >> reporter: the president was apparently referencing four female freshman house democrats

known as "the squad." new york congresswoman alexandria ocasio-cortez, minnesota's ilhan omar, rashida tlaib of michigan and massachusetts congresswoman ayanna pressley. all four are american citizens and only one of the lawmakers, congresswoman omar, was born outside the country, born in somalia, and became a u.s. citizen in 2000. all of the women responded on twitter. omar saying, as members of congress the only country we swear an oath to is the united states. you are stoking white nationalism. president trump's tweets came amid a kist rift in the democra party brewing since the passage of the emergency aid package. the freshmen all voted against the bill and the battle between them and house speaker nancy pelosi has escalated in recent days. in his tweet trump added i'm sure nancy pelosi would be very happy to quickly work out free travel arrangements but pelosi was quick to defend the women on sunday saying the president's call reaffirms his plan to make

america great again has always been about making america white again. our diversity is our strength. our unity is our power. by the end of the weekend, republican leadership was silent and administration officials, like the acting commissioner of u.s. customs and border protection directed questions to the president. >> i think that you need to talk to the president about his specific tweets. >> reporter: in his tweets last night and this morning the president doubled down and said he looks forward to challenging democrats in 2020 suggesting that at least he believes this approach will not hurt him at the ballot box. gayle? >> all right, paula, thank you. breaking news. the trump administration this morning announced it is making good on its promise to crack down on central american migrants seeking asylum at the southern border. it unveiled new rules to go into effect tomorrow. they place new restrictions on eligibility. asylum seekers will be required to apply for protection in at least one country they crossed enroute to the u.s. otherwise they will be blocked. an exception would be made for

victims of human trafficking. now, this comes as the u.s. moves ahead this week with a large scale plan to do final immigration deportation orders. we'll go to an ice facility in south florida. the question i think many are wondering is how are immigration activists getting ready for this? >> reporter: good morning. they spent this weekend informing undocumented immigrants about their rights and what to do if confronted by an immigration officer. now, many of those groups believe officials may have delayed the sweeps yesterday because of all the heightened publicity around them but they're warning immigrant families the threat is ongoing. immigration activists around the country are springing into action to help those threatened by the planned deportation arrests. >> we are organized. >> reporter: the expected crackdown is causing concern in

immigrant communities around the country and here in south florida. pastor howard harden says he is encouraging his congregation to support one another. >> i think everybody knows someone affected by this and i think every church is the same. >> reporter: so far sources tell cbs news activity has been limited to new york city where immigration and customs enforcement agents knocked on doors this weekend. but there were no arrests. immigration officials say about 1 million people in the country have removal orders. acting ice director matthew alban said the operation targets those who pose a public threat against safety. >> this is against specific individuals who have had their day in immigration court and have an order to remove by a judge. >> reporter: some democrats say this is the administration's attempt to instill fear. >> it is not about getting people who are security risks deported but about scaring everyone in the country and it is also about changing the news.

seeking sanctuary in churches including this one north of los angeles. this man didn't want to show his face on camera. he is afraid he'd be arrested in a sweep. >> i came here like more than ten years ago. now is a very hard time for immigrants. >> reporter: the american civil liberties union is trying to block the mass deportation arrests. the organization has filed a lawsuit alleging they violate basic due process procedures and that many of the immigrants targeted may not have received the paperwork to appear in court in the first place. anthony? >> thank you. new polling shows president trump trailing four of the democratic presidential contenders, former vice president joe biden leads mr. trump by nine points. senators bernie sanders, elizabeth warren, and kamala harris are also deis s to unvei healthcare proposal in iowa today. ed o'keefe is in des moines. what's his plan? >> reporter: well, anthony, he

is trying to set himself apart from some of his democratic opponents pushing so-called medicare for all plans by instead unveiling a plan that bolsters bmcare. and biden is set to say he'll take on anyone republican or democrat that seeks to try to replace the current affordable care act. biden's plan would cost about $750 billion over the next decade and would provide a public option if needed. it would allow americans to import cheaper drugs from overseas and the plan would be paid for in part by ending the trump tax cuts. healthcare is a hot topic on the campaign trail in recent days and this weekend another candidate south bend indiana mayor pete buttigieg told us he believes in universal health care. >> the way i've talked about doing it is medicare for all who want it solution. we take a version of medicare, make it available on the exchanges as a kind of public option. if the corporate world can come up with something better than they've done so far, great. maybe they can find some way to compete. but i'm not banking on it. >> reporter: 20 of the democratic candidates are set to be here in iowa this week for

events focused primarily on thank ve mh. the federal government could join the investigation into what caused a massive power outage in new york city. 73,000 customers across midtown manhattan lost power on saturday. the outage caused major disruption, trapping people in elevators and subway trains. it was hot. several concerts and broadway shows were canceled. we'll go to midtown manhattan. what do we know about what caused it? >> reporter: well, good morning, gayle. we know that everyone in new york is still talking about what happened. we don't know the cause. but the city says they know it wasn't terrorism and it wasn't a cyber attack. back here this is one of the spots where con ed crews have been working for the last 36 hours trying to repair damage from this outage. what they do know for sure, the systems that should have prevented the substation from going off line did not work.

electricity crews are working around the clock to pinpoint what caused the power outage that blacked out half of manhattan's iconic skyline. for about five hours saturday, the city that never sleeps lost its night light, trapping people in elevators and leaving subway riders stuck under ground for hours. the outage turned off the lights on tens of thousands attending jennifer lopez's sold out show at madison square garden. >> obviously we're going to reschedule this show. there's the alarm going off telling everybody in the announcements to evacuate. >> even our weekend broadcast was left in the dark. >> lights? >> reporter: but on broadway the show went on. outside, bright lights or not. >> you have to be in charge wherever you are. as simple as that. >> reporter: the new york city mayor bill de blasio had to play da 202

ful was campaigning induring th. o was n dueo demand or old age. i incredie you redundancy on redundancy yet a huge swath of the city was plunged into darkness for five hours. >> the grid is very reliable on an overall basis. >> reporter: the incident raises questions about the country's over stressed power grid. in the most recent infrastructure report card the american society of civil engineers scored it a d plus. >> we are pushing our grid as hard as we can push it right now given what we've got. >> reporter: patrick miller is an energy sector expert. >> there is an expectation by the average consumer the power is always going to stay on. in reality we have a grid that runs from canada all the way down to mexico and the fact that it operates as reliably as it does right now is amazing. >> reporter: now, this blackout on saturday came on the 42nd anniversary of the epic 1977

power outage that plunged new york into darkness and chaos. saturday there were no reports of any significant problems, no reports of any injuries. con ed says it could be weeks before it knows for sure why the lights went out and the substation went down. one piece of good news, j-lo is going to be back on stage at madison square garden tonight and she is hoping the lights stay on this time. >> i heard. i heard. and everybody who was there saturday night will go back again on monday night including me. >> my son was in the subway and described the doors opened and he said it was so black he didn't even realize where he was. >> terrifying. >> very frightening because you don't know exactly what is happening. people stayed so calm. i did a move, i went to the money to get cash out. >> it didn't work. >> those don't work either. you don't realize how much you count on electricity until you don't have it. nypd, firefighters, and con ed, good job. the political crisis in puerto rico involving the

♪ good morning to you our viewers in the west. it's monday, july 15, 2019. welcome back to "cbs this morning." president trump is accused of racism after attacking a group of progressive lawmakers who are women of color. first, norah o'donnell to tell us about some of the women who made the papollo 11 moon landin possible. and a fierce determination of a celebrated dancer who overcame physical limitations. first, here's today's "eye opener" at 8:00. >> dangerous flooding from tropical depression barry threatening 11 million people in

the south. flood alerts up across eight states. >> this is the calm after the storm. all eyes on louisiana as they are getting ready for barry. >> another fif inches in port n portions of louisiana. you may not get the biggest total until 48 hours after landfall. >> if the president intended to capitalize on the tensions, it backfired as nothing unites warring factions like a common enemy. >> officials may have delayed those tweets yesterday because of all that publicity around them. they are warning immigrant families the threat is ongoing. >> everyone in new york is still talking about what happened. we don't know the cause, but the city says they know it wasn't terrorism and it wasn't a cyberattack. >> in the air to left center field. going back. it is gone!. >> walk-off home r. and the slow celebration is underway.

>> announcer: this morning's "eye opener" presented by toyota. let's go places. he celebrated and savored that one, didn't he? >> that's nice. very nice. i'm anthony mason with gayle king and tony dokoupil. president trump is being accused of racism after telling a group of democratic congresswomen of color to go back to their countries. in a series of weekend tweets he said that group of democratic lawmakers should go back to the countries they came from and fix those governments rather than tell the u.s. government how it should be run. he ducked dooubled down this mo saying they spew foul language and racist hatred. >> the lawmakers he is apparently referring to are four women nicknamed the squad. all four are american citizens and three were born in this country. the president may have inadvertently helped house democrats get past a growing

internal rift. nancy, word is that it will help unite the democrats. do you think so? >> reporter: well, gayle, his tweets definitely gave democrats a common target, but the internal conflict within the party that you are describing is probably not going to subside anytime soon, even after speaker pelosi came to the defense of those four women. pelosi herself criticized the women just last week after they voted against an immigration bill and then slammed fellow democrats who had voted for it. these four women are very progressive and they have a very big social media following, but their outspoken views don't or some democratic colleagues. for instance, this weekend ayanna pressley told a progressive grens that democrats don't, quote, need any more black faces that don't want to be a black voice. and the chief of staff for

alexandria ocasio-cortez of new york recently came under fire from democratic leaders for a now deleted tweet comparing moderate democrats to segregationists. so this conflict continues to churn, but it is getting the attention of the british prime minister who described the president's language in those tweets this morning as, quote, completely unacceptable. it's important to note, tony, not a single republican lawmaker so far has criticized the president's comments. >> and if they do come forward, we will bring you that. nancy, thank you very much. let's get to tropical depression barry who is posing a dangerous threat to the south this morning. 11 million people in the path of the storm that's now moving north. flood alerts up across saturday states. 90 people had to be rescued over the weekend in several communities and sa taa state erncyemain eff f mississippi. multiple levies were overtopped.

cigarette butts. poppy told me does it seem different? she said it smells different. a lot better. but i think these are these pioneers. these trail blazers. these women who were there at the time. they were great scientists and mathematicians. so you will see each stage they played in what was this massive government -- there were 400,000 people involved in that. >> you have another story related to this this week. an interview with jeff bezos, who is a space entrepreneur as well as running amazon, obviously. >> and who doesn't do many interviews. >> and president kennedy's daughter? >> caroline kennedy talked about this being an ambitious goal that president kennedy sent forward in 1961 to land a man on the moon. bezos says people at nasa were gulping, like i don't know if we could do that in a decade. that's the past kennedy. this is the future. and now our space program is not really dominated by the

places, i was very unsure and angry that this was happening to me. >> why were you angry? >> because hearing the word surgery, knowing that that could and possibly would end my career as a dancer just -- the surgery alone consisted of putting rods in your spine. i cried for days. >> reporter: deciding against surgery, frazier turned those tears into fierce tenacity. >> in a ballet class your hips need to be square, your shoulders need to be square, and all of these things are squared with scoliosis. one shoulder is higher, one hip is higher. >> with years of physical therapy and back braces, she stabilized her chronic condition becoming an award-winning dancer. she performed in this beyonce world tour video and in her own

author colson whitehead won a pulitzer prize in 2017 for his novel "the underground railroad." reimagined it as a train transporting slaves to safety. now he's turning his attention to the south, "the nickel boys," the novel is set around nickel academy, a florida reform school where two of its black students must navigate violence, abuse and corrupt officials. colson whitehead, welcome back to the table. congratulations on your "time" magazine cover. >> it's very neat and surreal. >> not only just cover, america's storyteller by the way. >> look at that. >> is this your excited face? >> let me tell you a little story about a cowboy.

>> so you write this big book about slavery, won the big awards and go back to the jim crow era, was that the plan all along. >> usually i do one with that's serious and one with jokes. the underground railroad had the fewest jokes and i planned to do a crime novel set in new york. the story of the school the nickel boys was based on was so compelling -- >> what caught your attention about it? >> it was a reform school where kids were abused and sometimes killed over a course of 100 years, and i came across the story in 2014. never heard of it. it just seemed an atrocity this large so anonymous, terrible, angh good to get a story out of it. >> but the first line in the book, even in death the boys were in trouble because in true story, there were a lot of grades found on this.

optimistic character, and turner my cynical character i could explore different parts of my personality. are we moving forward, backward as a country? their philosophical debate in the book is something i felt in me and i think a lot of people are having that now. >> you said that this book can take readers into an uneasy present. how does this book about the past help us understand that? how has it affected you personally, the way you were told you? >> you know, the underground railroad was about slavery and talking about race in the 1850 you talk about it now, the incarceration system in the jim crow era, talking about it now, talk about systems of institutional racism, there's a continuum of how black folks are controlled in this country. so the past is the present unfortunately in many ways. and in terms of my own personal response to the material, i was raised, you know, in the wake of the civil rights movement and my parents told me this is america
