this is the "cbs overnight news." >> welcome to the "overnight news." i'm don dahler. the trump administration is toughening immigration laws aimed at deporting illegal immigrants. new guidelines were unveiled tuesday by the department of homeland security. the white house says the new rules are primarily for illegal immigrants who commit crimes or pose a threat to the country. here's jeff pegues. >> reporter: the new guidelines come as u.s. immigration and customs enforcement units have carried out hundreds of deportation operations across the country. authorities will now be able to expedite deportation of any undocumented immigrant in the country for less than two years. immediately return many immigrants captured at the border, and hire 15,000 new
3:31 am
border patrol and immigration officers. the guidelines do leave in place an obama-era program that granted work permits to those brought to the country illegally as children. the department of homeland security is also tasked with building president trump's southern border wall, estimated to cost $21 billion. but a report by dhs' internal watchdog questions whether the department is up to the task. >> homeland security has made progress in the last three years, yet faces long-standing, persistent challenges. >> reporter: testifying before congress, inspector general john roth said his review found a 2011 project to strengthen 53 miles of the arizona border was canceled, but not before dhs spent about $1 billion. there were also numerous bottlenecks in the hiring process, taking over nine months to hire just one border patrol agent. tom schatz is president of citizens against government waste.

3:33 am
>> reporter: dr. jerry kruse was slammed by messages from panicked colleagues. >> it's an atmosphere of what's going to happen next. i think there's some fear. there's fear of detention, there's fear of the ban being extended to other countries. >> reporter: 1 in 4 doctors in the u.s. are foreign born, including an estimated 15,000 from the seven countries already included in president trump's travel ban. how significant is a shortage in a place like this? >> reporter: in this downy, the shortage of physicians is about half of what's needed. >> international medical graduates are a very important part of the american health care system. in many places, the international medical graduate physician is the medical system. so people should be very concerned about this. >> reporter: hospitals have
3:34 am
until 9:00 p.m. wednesday to decide which recent medical school graduates they would like to bring on as residents. in a normal year, the best candidates would rise to the top. but this year, hospitals have to weigh whether to take a risk on a candidate whose visa might be denied. >> all your dreams are shattered by an issue of a piece of paper saying you can't enter the country. >> reporter: a syrian born cardiology fellow at chicago's cook county hospital arrived as a resident in 2011. if someone in the white house happens to be watching this, what would you want them to know about the doctors from these seven countries? >> i would urge them not to take this opportunity away from them. the program wants them and they want the program. they should have the same opportunity here. >> reporter: dr. kruse hopes the new ban includes an exception for doctors. what message would you have for foreign applicants catch thing play out in the united states and thinking about this year? >> just hang on. we're there for you. >> reporter: the average doctor sees between 800 and 1500
3:35 am
patients a year, so when we're talking about the 15,000 physicians from the seven countries already affected by president trump's travel ban, we're talking about health care that could affect millions of americans. as president trump's immigration policy stirs controversy, many people in england are upset about his trip to their country. a heated debate is under way over whether mr. trump should be welcomed by the queen in a formal state visit. charlie d'agata is in london. >> reporter: heated words over whether president trump has the right to an official state visit, meet with the queen, maybe stay at the palace, the whole shabang. mostly this is a chance to vent, both inside that building, and out. >> mr. trump is a disgusting, immoral man. >> if we were to rescind this invitation as a result of this debate, it would be catastrophic. >> hear, hear. >> reporter: a fierce debate over whether president trump should be stripped of his state visit. >> we cannot accept the

3:37 am
a state visit means rolling out the royal red carpet, including an official state banquet. it's ostensibly an invitation by the queen. traditionally, u.s. presidents have had to wait years for a state visit, if they get one at all. president trump only had to wait seven days. that triggered the petition, and protest last night, arguing a state visit would be an embarrassment to her majesty the queen. >> there's no way, no way donald trump deserves this honor. >> reporter: in the end, the protest, the petition, the debate in parliament, none of it really matters. in the big picture, no vote was taken and that state visit will go ahead as planned. the "cbs overnight news" will be right back.

clinic, charged with possession of child pornography. and criminal sexual conduct involving the daughter of a family friend. investigators were able to make the case against him because gymnasts went public after years of silence. the police and fbi are investigating dozens of other cases involving nassar, some decades old. others within the last two years. jamie dancer says she started seeing dr. nassar around 1995, after she became a member of the u.s. junior national team. >> i started having really bad lower pack pain on my right side of my back. so i went to him for my back pain. >> what specifically would he do? >> he would put his fingers inside of me, move my leg around. he would tell me i was going to feel a pop, and that that would put my hips back in and help my
3:43 am
back pain. >> how old were you then when he first did that procedure? >> either 13 or 14. >> i was 15 years old, and i had a hip problem, a very severe hip problem. usa gymnastics suggested that i go to the karolyi ranch to work with their doctor. >> reporter: the karolyi ranch outside houston, texas, is a mecca for elite gymnasts who have given up any semblance of normal childhood to pursue their olympic dreams. run by bela and marta karolyi it's where members of the u.s. team come for intensive training. the girls stayed in cabins on the property, and dr. nassar would be there to provide medical treatment. >> he started massaging me, and he had asked me not to wear any underwear. and then he just continued to go into more and more intimate places.
3:44 am
>> and when that happened, what was going through your head? >> i remember thinking something was off, but i didn't feel like i was able to say anything. because he was, you know, this very high profile doctor and i was very lucky to be at the ranch working with him. >> did any of the other girls in your cabin talk to you about dr. nassar? >> yes. the girls would say, yeah, he touches you funny. >> i remember being uncomfortable because of the area, but in my mind, i was like, if this helps, i'll do anything. >> did you ever complain to anybody about it? >> no. >> why not? >> it was treatment. you don't complain about treatment. >> reporter: dr. nassar has pled not guilty to the charges in michigan. in a statement from his lawyers, he has defended his treatment as legitimate. there is a rare therapy for back and hip pain where physicians

massage areas inside the vagina. but for a minor, it's expected such a procedure should involve a chaperone and use of a glove. >> did he use a glove? >> no. >> how many times did you have this kind of a procedure? >> it happened all the way to the olympics in sydney. i was 18. >> from the time you were 13 or so until 18? >> yes. >> and it was just in your mind normal medical treatment? >> you've got a 52-year-old man placing his hand in the vagina of 9-year-olds, ungloved, for no good reason. wrong. >> reporter: california attorney john manly represents the women we interviewed and more than 40 others. one as young as 9 years old and most under 18 at the time they say they were abused. how many women do you think he did that to? >> we know there are at least 60 that have come forward.
3:46 am
my best estimate is, it's in the hundreds, and possibly more. >> are you saying that members of the last two olympic teams, from rio and from london, were affected by dr. nassar, that they were abused by him? >> i believe at the end of the day, there are members of every single olympic team since 1996 he did this to. that's what we're going to end up with. >> what makes you so sure about that? >> this is somebody who is a serial predator, but the story here is that no one was watching to protect these girls. and they put medals and money first. >> reporter: by "they," he means usa gymnastics and the karolyis. he's not arguing they knew anything about sexual abuse. many years went by before the women we interviewed complained to anyone in authority. but part of the reason for that, manly argues, was a high pressure, emotionally abusive environment at the ranch, which
3:47 am
he says made it easy for nassar to win the girls' trust. >> i mean, like yelling and screaming. that was normal. >> really? >> yeah. >> what kind of abusive things were said to you? >> it was never good enough. you're not good enough. >> the pressure that they put on you to be perfection for them, it was very overwhelming and stressful. >> it was an environment of fear, and he stepped in and became the good guy. dr. nassar did. he gave them candy. he gave them encouragement. he acted like he cared about them. no one else there gave that impression. >> what were these girls so afraid of? >> not being able to fulfill their dream. you've given up your childhood and your adolescence to represent your country. and the karolyis and the selection team have control on who goes.
3:48 am
so your fate is in their hands. you must do what they say. >> reporter: on behalf of the women, attorney manly is suing the karolyis and usa gymnastics for failing to protect their athletes. >> to watch the full report, go to cbsnews.com and click on "60 minutes." we'll be right back. it only takes a second for an everyday item to become dangerous. always keep laundry pacs away from children. keep them up, keep them closed, keep them safe. tide pods now come in a child guard zip pack. to help keep your laundry pacs safe and your child safer.

3:53 am
>> these rocks take on a life of their own. they're out there with a purpose, and they have a life, and they're meaningful. >> reporter: but determining what's meaningful, simple as it may seem, can get complicated. the list of rules is extensive. you also make an effort, though, to not be political. to not take stands. why is that? >> that's a tough one, because i take a lot of criticism for that. we're not here to support issues. we're not here to support candidates. we're not here to support causes. we're here to promote kindness and sharing with each other. >> reporter: what is encouraged, rocks with a personal meaning. whether creating a work of art or something straight from the heart. >> i came home from work that day, and i said what are these? and that's a bucket full of rocks. i mean, there has to be at least 200, all different sizes. >> reporter: lisa went to high school with nancy and brenda. together, they painted a bucket full of rocks to honor lisa's daughter, megan.
