>> john: president trump's crackdown on illegal immigration moves here to america's biggest city. good evening from new york. i'm john dickerson. >> maurice: i'm maurice dubois. the secretary of homeland security kristi noem went along as federal agents conducted an overnight roundup in the bronx and cbs news went with them. >> john: immigrations and customs enforcement, or i.c.e. says the search for immigrants in the country illegally led to 969 arrests today nationwide. >> maurice: major garrett was in the bronx. >> reporter: just after 3:00 a.m. we are making our way to downtown manhattan to begin briefings on i.c.e. actions to come this morning. inside the i.c.e. field office in manhattan, the ranks are enlarged by other agencies now ordered by the trump administration to gear up for immigration sweeps. the plan, multiple predawn raids targeting undocumented immigrants with criminal records. the charges range from murder to theft to kidnapping.

>> we are going to take every precaution when we try and apprehend these folks. >> reporter: today, they are joined by newly confirmed homeland security secretary kristi noem. >> be safe out there. >> reporter: the goal, 500 arrests over a week-long operation in new york. in a bronx parking lot, a final huddle. >> the target today is anderson pacheco, venezuelan national. he's wanted out of colorado on multiple felony warrants. >> reporter: a suspended gang member with warrants for kidnapping, burglary, and a gun crime, authorities told us. around 5:30 a.m., heavily-armed agents raid this apartment building and find the suspect and three other male associates. all handcuffed and without incident. also there in the residence three children. their immigration status unknown. and now a check to see if they have a caregiver or if child

protective services needs to be brought in. the next stop, a residence less than 2 miles away. after some negotiation, the officers make their way inside but come up empty. the targets were not home. no arrests, no detentions. federal law enforcement is working with limited help from new york city police because of the city's laws protecting undocumented immigrants. some might say isn't new york a sanctuary city? but you said the mayor has been cooperative? >> the mayor has been fantastic. in fact, i talked to him on the phone probably four or five times last night. one of the individuals was so dangerous that we needed the backup of the nypd to be there in case things went south. >> reporter: today's bronx operation required around three dozen law enforcement yielding a handful of arrests. is that a ratio you are comfortable with? >> it is, absolutely. i won't doubt what they need for support and backup. >> are you aware you are in violation of our laws?

>> reporter: you want cameras at these events, don't you? and some would say you want this spectacle to be filmed. >> it is not a spectacle. this is -- this is our nation's law-enforcement judicial process process. the scales of justice are equally applied to everybody. we want transparency on this. >> reporter: vice president j.d. vance has suggested deporting a million people a year could be possible. roughly quadruple the number under president biden last fiscal year. will you have the person power you need to carry out this initiative? >> we're working on it. >> reporter: it seems like he won't. >> well, we will have the personnel because we are going to continue to recruit and ask people to help us. >> john: major, as you mentioned in the piece, these are pictures the administration wants people to see, and they are not upset about that ratio you mentioned. so many forces for a little haul. help people understand that. >> major: they want a show force. they want people to understand there is a new tempo and range and scope to these immigration actions. here is what we know about what happened today. it took what roughly 90 officers to arrest 20 suspects in about a 4-hour period. eight of them had no criminality associated with their existence in this country at all, only that they entered illegally. 12 had criminal records. the administration says that is 12 people more inclined than not

to create crimes in the future. they are off the streets, and the country is safer. >> maurice: major, nine days ago with joe biden in office these raids had a whole different kind of feel. how would you compare the two approaches? >> major: the two biggest approaches are these, maurice. we saw atf, dea, u.s. marshals they would not have been involved under the biden administration. that allows a force multiplier effect. two, collateral arrests, what are those? the eight suspects arrested today who have no criminality associate with them. they would not have been swept up by the biden administration. they are being swept up by the trump administration. >> john: so major, the number of arrests today, match that to what j.d. vance said, which was that he basically wanted a million of such arrests in a year. is that possible? >> major: the numbers help us understand whether it is, john. in the last 20 years, this country has never deported even 500,000 individuals in a single year. the highest number was 409,000 under president obama in 2012. the highest trump number, 2019 267,000. to reach a million would require a vast expansion of federal immigration resources that are not currently available. >> maurice: rally steep climb there. major garrett, thank you so much. >> john: thanks, major. now to some of the top stories

around the world in tonight's evening news roundup. the united nations says since yesterday more than we hundred 76,000 palestinians have returned to their homes in northern gaza under the cease-fire deal. >> maurice: is it a mystery solved? the white house says most of the drones spotted over new jersey recently were not the enemy and had been cleared to fly by the faa for research purposes. >> john: the senate holds a confirmation hearing tomorrow for health secretary nominee robert f. kennedy jr. today, his cousin caroline kennedy, said his vaccine skepticism is disqualifying. in a letter to senators, she wrote, "bobby is addicted to attention and power. bobby preys on the desperation of parents of sick children." >> maurice: and president trump wants to freeze many federal grants and loans to make sure they comply with his agenda. it is not clear yet exactly what that might affect, and late today, a federal judge blocked the freeze. >> john: it was ordered in a late-night memo from the office of management and budget, and

nancy cordes is at the white house. nancy, this is confusing. so can we go first to who would not be affected by this order if it were in effect? >> reporter: we are still trying to figure that out, john. the judge said today she is imposing this stay until at least monday so she has more time to determine whether organizations will be harmed by the funding freeze. right now no one seems to know how much funding is being paused, how many groups that affects, and for how long. but the white house did release a memo today to say that many vital programs will not be affected, like social security medicare, food stamps headstart, farm assistance, and rental assistance. as for the organizations that will be affected, well, all the white house has said so far is that this pause will apply to any programs that conflict with the president's new executive orders, on topics like

immigration, foreign aid, and dei, or diversity, equity, and inclusion. >> maurice: so nancy, of those who think they might be affected, how are they reacting tonight? >> reporter: well, democrats argue these funds were already approved by congress and that the trump administration doesn't have the authority to do this. of the groups that might be affected, the way that they are reacting, well, in the absence of much information, thousands of organizations that rely on federal funds were making panicked calls to congress today to try to figure out if they are on the list. take lulac, for example, it's the nation's largest latino civil rights organization. they told us they believe one of their largest education programs is on the list to be frozen, and if that is true, they say they will not be able to make payroll for about 125 employees. so even a brief pause could have a significant effect. >> john: nancy cordes for us at the white house. thank you, nancy. >> maurice: still ahead on the "cbs evening news," lonnie quinn with the weather. >> john: and we will have these stories, as well. >> i'm nikki battiste. tonight, you will need a terminally-ill woman who chose to end her life.

on the campaign trail president trump claimed he could end the war in 24 hours. that hasn't happened, but it's sparked fears here that he could cut off the supply of american weapons. >> [speaking in a global language] >> reporter: the group's commander told us if that happens, they'll keep fighting even if their weapons run out altogether. but not everyone here is so gung ho. for nearly three years ukraine's people have stood up to vladimir putin's invading army. now, just over half of ukrainians want to negotiate a cease-fire, according to a recent poll. that is more than double the figure at the start of the war but many here told us they have conditions. yevheniya puzikova lost her husband, oleksandr, and her eldest son, oleksiy, in the fight against russia. do you support negotiations with

russia to try and agree on a cease-fire? >> [speaking in a global language] >> interpreter: i support it. but simply freezing the front line will not do anything because in a few years, russia will invade again. >> reporter: ukraine's government shares that fear. it says it will only agree to a cease-fire deal if its allies protect it from russia. perhaps with european peacekeeping forces or nato membership. we don't know for sure how many casualties ukraine has suffered but it's thought to be in the hundreds of thousands. this soldier was hit by shelling. he has a shrapnel wound to his head. he is unconscious and on ventilation. this ambulance is run by moas an international aid group that operates a fleet of 50 vehicles along ukraine's front line. dr. mykhailo ilyk is a pediatric anesthesiologist who volunteered to race wounded soldiers to the hospital. ukrainians are suffering terribly to defend their

country. is it worth it? >> [speaking in a global language] >> reporter: "definitely," he told us. "this is our land. we have to stand with it to the last." >> john: holly, you have been in ukraine so many times over the years. how do you recognize the sense of fatigue since those early days when they were championed for their resilience? >> reporter: well, john, we were here at the start of the invasion, and we witnessed the ordinary ukrainians signing up to fight and then heading off to the front lines. sometimes with just a week's basic training. but now the demographics are against them. russia has about three times the population of ukraine, and the ukrainians are thought to be running short of manpower. >> maurice: holly, with that in mind, with that backdrop in mind, what do everyday ukrainians see as an acceptable deal to bring this war to an end? >> reporter: maurice, i think a deal that freezes the front line and then protects

ukraine against being invaded again by russia would probably be accepted by most ukrainians. but a deal that redraws the map that rewards vladimir putin with parts of ukraine and then doesn't protect this country you know, i think many ukrainians would prefer just to keep fighting. >> john: putin and trump have both said they want to meet to talk about ukraine. well, what does putin want? >> reporter: well, you know withdrawing russian troops from ukraine could be seen as a personal humiliation for vladimir putin, who started this war in the first place. on the other hand, though russia is also thought to be taking hundreds of thousands of casualties. it is isolated from the west, so maybe a meeting with the u.s. president would give putin a face-saving way out of this conflict. >> john: holly williams reporting for us from ukraine. thank you, holly. >> maurice: now to the weather here at home. >> john: lonnie quinn, i hear the recipe calls for snow squalls in the northeast. >> well, there is a possibility tomorrow anywhere from cleveland to boston along interstate 90 you could find those snow squalls, which it is not going to be a lot of snow but that is a snow squall, that is how you

define it, not so much snow but it comes down fast. look what happens. it obscures your visibility makes driving difficult. if you're trying to stop your car 50 miles per hour it takes 150 feet in dry conditions. it takes 500 feet if it is snowing. it takes 1,000 feet if you are in the middle of a snow squall. and on top of all of that, you can't see anything out there because your visibility is basically down to zero. gentlemen? >> maurice: lonnie, that sounds like we're talking about a blizzard here. how long is that going to last? >> okay, it does sound like a blizzard. if you are in a snow squall, it feels just like a blizzard. but they are two different things. snow squalls by their nature only last a short period of time. they both come with big winds 35 miles per hour or stronger visibility a quarter mile or less, can't see anything out there, but the time, a blizzard last a long time, three hours or more, okay? it is an hour or less, even minutes were a snow squall, and for a snow squall, it has to be snowing intently, a blizzard doesn't even have to be snowing it can pick up the snow off the ground and that obscures your vision. all yours.
