being deployed to several so- called sanctuary cities. what's this about? >> reporter: well, it's about continuing the administration's push to more strictly enforce immigration policy and the president's 2016 campaign pledge to crack down on illegal immigration in the country. so the fact that this is coming now, will raise suspicions in the states of california, illinois, new york, especially where this is happening. other parts of the country as well. and the fact that it is coming just a few weeks before, for example, the california primary where democrats will be campaigning could very quickly become a campaign issue for them. >> quijano: as for the democrats, ed, how does the focus of the candidates change now that we're less than a week out from the nevada caucus? >> reporter: it's incredible how just shifting attention to a different state can change the topics of conversation. immigration reform of course is a major topic of concern in nevada and is being discussed there. joe biden among others admitting now that some things the obama administration did regarding immigration was a mistake. gun control becomes a bigger

topic of concern as well given the mass shooting in las vegas a few years ago. but health care and its top of mind concern for voters is also an issue. what you are starting to see however is more of the moderate democrats singling out bernie sanders' medicare for all plan that might be too expensive and too much of a pipe dream to implement. >> quijano: ed o'keefe, thank you. the campaign trail can be full of surprises. senator bernie sanders was in carson city, nevada, today when a protester grabbed the mic trying to press her own issues. she was joined briefly by partially clothed women before security intervened. >> this is nevada. there's always a little bit of excitement. >> quijano: the democrats debate in las vegas, wednesday. more than 300 americans quarantined on a cruise ship in japan are on their way home tonight. they boarded two planes in yokohama to take them to air force bases in california and florida. deborah patta is in yokohama.

was a perfect match, on the third photo session at the new mother's home, parker and her 16 year old daughter allegedly brought cupcakes laced with an unknown drug. the victim called 911 and kicked the mother and daughter out after she immediately began to feel numb and drowsy. she later told police she first became suspicious after noticing parker wiping her fingerprints off items she touched in the house. heavily armed deputies arrested parker and her daughter at their home. parker went by several aliases to conceal her real identity. just last year she ran for mayor of colorado springs. how she turned from politics to allegedly kidnapping is still unclear. police are looking for other victims. another new mom who asked not to be identified has already come forward. >> to think that that came this close to happening to us, i am worried about who else is out there. i know i saw quite a few other women who commented on her post. >> reporter: parker faces attempted kidnapping and assault charges. she will appear before a judge on tuesday.
