four years. immigrant advocates believe that violates the flores agreement which mandates children be released as quickly as possible. they argue some of the administration's policies, even i.c.e. arrests recently publicized by the president could be having a chilling effect. relatives who may be undocumented could be afraid to come forward. >> and this is the intake office. >> reporter: melissa aguilar is program director at the san benito shelter. >> there is challenges definitely with contacting sponsors, getting them to submit all the paperwork. because as you can see, we wouldn't let just anybody pick up a child. but still, it's a challenging process at times. >> reporter: she says casewor r caseworkers try their best to place a child before their 18th birthday when they are transferred to i.c.e. custody for adults and can be deported. manuel bojorquez, cbs news, brownsville, texas. coming up next, officers doused with water. so why wasn't anyone arrested?

side throughout the investigation, but aaron zebley will not be allowed to testify with him tomorrow. mueller's late request rejected today. his deputy can be there to advise him but mueller be the sole witness. >> it's an important day for the american people. >> reporter: tonight house democrats headed into one last prep session. tomorrow may be their only chance to grill the former special counsel about his 450-page report which did not identify evidence of a conspiracy between the trump campaign and russia but did lay out ten acts of potential obstruction of justice by president trump. >> he owes the american people some answers on some really important questions like why he chose not to interview the president. >> reporter: connecticut democrat jim himes has been practicing at mock hearings. he is a one-word guy. we're going get yeses and no's and very, very short answers.

so how do you draw a guy like that out? >> reporter: the department of justice hopes they don't, reminding mueller in a letter last night to stick to the boundaries of his public report, something he had already promised to do. >> and the report is my testimony. >> reporter: are republicans going to look to question robert mueller's credibility? >> robert mueller has to answer for his own report. >> reporter: georgia's doug collins is the top republican on the judiciary committee. his side has been prepping too. >> we've said focus. be very specific about the report. >> reporter: even the president has admitted he might watch. >> because i saw mueller is testifying tomorrow, again. how many times? two and a half years. >> cbs news will bring you live coverage and analysis of the mueller hearings starting this morning at 8:15 eastern time. the senate gave final congressional approval to the 9/11 compensation fund. it pays for the medical care of first responders and others sickened by the toxic rubble of the world trade center. chip reid has that story. >> i'm proud that we're here

paradise. >> reporter: three weeks after testifying on capitol hill, alvarez died of cancer. son david alvarez. >> i want to thank you for not forgetting him, not forgetting all the other first responders. >> the bill now goes to president trump. he's expected to sign it friday while surrounded by 9/11 first responders. there is a new boss at the pentagon. army veteran and former defense industry lobbyist mark esper was sworn in after his confirmation by the senate. the defense department had been led by acting secretaries since jim mattis quit nearly eight months ago. esper's first order of business could be the rising tensions with iran. david martin is aboard a u.s. navy warship in the persian gulf. >> reporter: the uss boxer at sea in the 90-degree waters of the persian gulf.

nearly a week after the amphibious salt ship brought down an iranian drone, cbs news went aboard with general frank mckenzie, the top u.s. commander for the middle east, who told us it now looks like the "boxer" took down two drones. >> as always, it was a complex tactical picture. we believe two drones. we believe two drones were successfully engaged. we believe there might have been more but we're not i a wear of. there may have been more. >> reporter: so you actually brought down two drones? >> we're confident we brought down one drone. well may have brought down a sect drown. >> reporter: before the boat showed up, the drones buzzed around the ship as it passed through the strait of hormuz at the mouth of the persian gulf. lieutenant commander mark gackowski was on the flight deck. >> fast boats, they were all over the place. some were iranians. maybe some weren't, but there were fast boats out there. >> reporter: captain ronald dowdell, the commander of the ship, was on the bridge. the "boxer" was launching aircraft to patrol the strait, and he thought the drones would interfere with flight operations. >> they certainly presented a clear danger and hazard to flight operations and personnel. >> reporter: so you're the one

that gave the order to take it out? >> i am. >> reporter: no one will say exactly what the weapon was, although it is clear some sort of electronic signal disabled the drones. one disappeared from radar and the other was seen crashing into the water. norah, sooner or later, the boxer is going to finish its training up here in the northern gulf and head back out through the strait of hormuz. and sooner or later, there is going to be another incident with iran. several weeks back president trump vowed to arrest and deport thousands of illegal immigrants in this country. it turns out there were only 35 arrests. adriana diaz reports. >> reporter: immigration and customs enforcement has arrested less than 2% of the 2100 targeted in a sweep that began earlier this month. it's called "operation border resolve" and it's directed at families with deportation orders. a key reason, according to i.c.e. officials, is that activists had time to plan for the highly publicized crackdown, which was announced ahead of

time by president trump. activists informed undocumented immigrants of their rights and stepped in to intervene. on monday in nashville, when local residents saw their neighbor being targeted by i.c.e., they formed a human chain around his van, allowing him and his son to run into their home. others readied themselves like this man, who barricaded himself in his own home. according to i.c.e. acting director, matthew albence, some were under surveillance. which also impeded arrests. despite only 35 people taken into custody so far, president trump praised the effort last week. >> the i.c.e. raids were very successful. >> reporter: deportations during president trump's first two years in office are down, roughly 40% compared to obama's first two years. in chicago, activist cecilia garcia handed out flyers. >> i think it would have been more had we not raised the awareness to the community. >> the "cbs overnight news" will

this is the "cbs overnight news." >> eight months after president trump ordered the immediate withdrawal of all u.s. troops from syria, about a thousand remain, and it doesn't look like they're leaving any time soon. david martin got a tour of the u.s. military operations in the syria war zone with general frank mckenzie. he is the u.s. commander in the region. >> reporter: an american black hawk helicopter lands on a sun-blasted airstrip inside syria. a small part of the nearly one thousand u.s. troops still in syria, still hunting for isis. cbs news flew in here with general frank mckenzie,

commander of u.s. forces in the middle east. >> well, david, clearly we're still in syria. we're working with our partners here to complete back-clearing and finish off isis in the euphrates river valley, east of the euphrates river. those operations are continuing, and they're continuing with good effect. >> reporter: the main u.s. base and supply hub for operations in syria is located in the north, where a runway long enough to handle jet transports had 12 flights scheduled the day we were there. in southern syria, a dry lake bed serves as the airstrip for the remote outpost. it looks like a remake of a mad max movie. it's not the end of the earth, troops like to say, but you can see it from here. we ask general mckenzie what in the world u.s. troops are doing here. >> so david, we're standing in the middle of the damascus/baghdad highway just inside southern syria, and the u.s. forces that are here are involved with our partners carrying on the fight to finish isis off.

>> reporter: operating out of this compound, which still bears the scars of previous battles, u.s. special forces travel to even more remote outposts to enlist local tribes in the hunt for isis. one thousand troops may not seem like a lot until you see all that it takes to support them. the ospreys that took us out of syria had to refuel in midair in order to make it. it's been eight months since president trump ordered all u.s. troops out of syria, but all you have to do is look around and you can see they're not going anywhere any time soon. david martin in southeast syria. much of the surveillance in the syria war zone is done by military drones stationed in the region, but the pilots of those drones? well, some of them are 7,000 miles away in nevada. janet shamlian got a behind-the-scenes look at the drone operations at creech air

force base. >> creech is deep in the desert. it's about an hour's drive from las vegas. and when you get here, this is what you'll find, a hanger filled with a fleet of drones. that's a term the military does not love. they prefer remotely piloted aircraft. but whatever you call it, the reaper, this plane specifically, which has been in the headlines lately, has become an all-star in the military's war on terror. hours before first light, engines spool up. final checks are made, and the reaper is out to the runway. >> oh, i see it. >> reporter: but the team at the controls is a mile away in a room that's effectively the plane's cockpit. this is the aircraft they're flying across the nevada desert. they'll soon be navigating a similar reaper in the skies above terror hot spots around the globe, without ever leaving the states. this is the face of war every day. these metal contain verse been turned into air conditioned cockpits, and the pilots who are

inside them are training to fly missions all over the world. 600 pilots and 350 sensor or camera operators work in teams around the clock. >> go for the air conditioning unit. >> reporter: averaging six air strikes and a thousand combat hours every day. >> the act of taking a human life, the act of supporting guys on the ground is as stressful as it was sitting in an f-16 regardless of the distance in between the two air frames. >> reporter: major bryce is a combatant in the sky eight hours a day. >> so even like right now we could turn the laser on, i could turn in and we could fire another missile. >> reporter: sometimes dropping held fire missiles or precision-guided bombs on high value targets. >> our job is to be in the mental model knowing we could jump right into the seat and something could happen. >> reporter: he says being close to home makes him a better pilot. >> even though i might get home at weird hours, i get to go home and spend time with my wife and daughter. >> reporter: the missions themselves are classified. >> so this camera right here is able to provide 360 degrees of

rotation. >> reporter: and so are other capabilities of the reaper. but here's what the air force will say. the planes are protected against threats that could try to jam the satellite signal between pilot and plane. as aviators patrol the skies without ever leaving the ground. it takes about a year to train one of these pilots. of note, france, australia, spain, they all use this facility to train their rpa pilots, and the uk's royal air force actually stations its pilots here. they live here and they use the cockpits to fly their planes out of here, their drones out of here. an administrator at morehouse college has been put on leave after a former student's accusations of sexual misconduct. michael key posted a video on twitter last week about the alleged conduct of assistant dean and interim student housing director demarcus crews. at least two more students have come forward with allegations against faculty members, which they say the school also

>> i didn't feel comfortable at morehouse. >> reporter: morehouse is now investigating the sexual misconduct allegations and has placed crews on unpaid administrative leave. but key says the college ignored his complaint until his tweet went viral. in january 2018, he filed a title ix complaint through the department of education. the federal law protects students against sexual harassment. nothing happened for a year and a half? >> a year and a half. it was a terrible, terrible year and a half. i didn't know what to do at that point. i was just following the system. i thought title ix was going to be there for me. soy went into deep depression, grades started falling. >> reporter: you continued to run into crews? >> i saw him every day, all day, every day. he is -- our campus is small. >> reporter: another former morehouse student has sued the college and several staff members. he asked us to conceal his identity. he claims former assistant professor robert peterson physically and sexually assaulted him in 2015 while studying abroad in brazil.

>> he gripped my thigh and moved his hands towards my inner leg and up towards myarea, close. and in brazil, he tried the like manhandle me a little and choke me, grabbed me by the arm. >> reporter: in a statement to cbs news, peterson called the allegations false and exaggerated, and said none of this happened. >> we ned to get rid of the facade. we need to tell people what is really going on, because that's the only way this sclool be the best it can be. >> reporter: key has now left morehouse and is now looking for a new school. we got a statement from morehouse that said the school morehouse that said the school is committed to 60% of women wear the wrong size pad, and can experience leaks. you don't have to with always my fit try the next size up and get up to 20% better coverage - day or night because better coverage means better protection
