that wraps up this hour of msnbc live. thank you for joining us. ali velshi, over to you. >> we'll watch up with you later, hallie jackson. military moves. u.s. intelligence officials expect a nuclear test from north korea in the coming days. the u.s. and china are mobilizing resources for a potential military response. we'll have a live report from seoul. on the border. attorney general jeff sessions and john kelly taking a firs first-hand look at border checkpoints and procedures. i'll speak with both of them live this hour about the tour and the controversial remarks they made, including hawaii as some island in the pacific. attack in paris. a gunman opens fire on police in

paris's most famous street, killing one officer. authorities are looking for accomplices one day before the french presidential elections. ali velshi in washington where president trump is celebrating a foreign policy situation as he's facing north korea and iran. this woman from an egyptian prison, where she was held for nearly three years on charged that are widely regarded as entirely false. winning the release of her husband and four other humanitarian workers. the "washington post" reports the president sent a u.s. government plane to cairo yesterday to bring her and her family home. now, all of this, as intelligence officials tell nbc news they expect north korea to conduct a new nuclear test, or at least another missile test, over the next few days, after last saturday's failed missile launch. we have all of this covered with our nbc correspondents on the korean peninsula and at the

white house. that's where we begin. first with nnbc's kristen welke. we learned in the last hour that hijazi is going to the white house to meet with president trump, who reportedly took a personal interest in getting her freed. >> that's right. this is seen as a big victory for the trump administration, for president trump, as he approaches his first 100 days in office. let me just tell you what happened. you're absolutely right. the trump administration was able to secure the release of hijazi and her husband. she's 30 years old. she was imprisoned in may of 2014, accused of trafficking, child abuse charges and, as you say rightfully, ali, those arges were widely disputed and dismissed by the international community and by human rights groups all across the world. this is something the obama administration also wanted to see happen and had pressed for, but it didn't. one of the key reasons why the obama administration had a very different relationship with the egyptian government. you'll remember president obama

had banned the egyptian president from meeting at the white house because of his human rights abuses. president trump is trying to engage in a reset of sorts, inviting the egyptian president here to the white house at the beginning of april. so it is believed that really paved the way for this release, ali. >> kristen, separately, the president is preparing to take new executive action today, aimed at regulations adopted by the obama administration in the wake of the financial crisis. what do we know about those? >> let me tell you the two prongs on this, ali. two separate memorandum. one calls for a review of some tax regulations that were put in place under president obama. in 2016. the director from president trump is to determine if there is too much regulation and if the taxes are overly burdensome. he's also calling for a review of how big banks are handled in a crisis. this really one of the central pieces of dodd/frank. two, key memorandum he's going to sign today. >> we'll be in touch with you throughout the course of the

rest of the day. this morning, the trump administration is also taking new steps to prepare for a possible nuclear test by north korea amid the new threats coming from the regime there. kelly cobiella joins us from seoul, south korea. it is almost i feel i'm asking you this every day. what's the latest? >> well, that's right. a new development every day, as well, ali. today, u.s. officials are telling nbc news that a special sniffer plane, along with drones and u2 spy planes have been deployed to the region, are up in the air in this part of the world. that sniffer plane, wc-135 is able to detect a nuclear explosion in the atmosphere. now, the air force says, look, this is a routine mission. this is something that was planned well in advance. nothing special here. nothing to see here. but it comes as we're hearing from two u.s. intelligence

officials who are telling nbc news that north korea could perform a nuclear test at any time with little or no warning. and, again, this is one day after north korea's latest threat, which was to reduce the u.s. to ashes with a preemptive strike. that rheric coming out yesterday. today, the secretary of defense was asked about north korea's threats. take a listen. >> their word is not proven honest. it's been provocative. they've not lived up to any statements they've made in the past. so i would just take their word, the same value we've always given them, as we learned not to trust them. >> but, of course, this is happening while the u.s. is carrying -- continuing these military exercises with south korea. it is day two of the exercises called max thunder, involving

some 80 aircraft, 1,500 military personnel, both american and south korean, and the heightened tensions in the region. also, ali, i should mention, an important date is coming up. next tuesday is the 85th anniversary of the people's army in north korea. as you know, north korea has in the past used these pbig anniversary dates to either carry out some sort of test launch or to show -- use another show of force or, you know, heated rhetoric, ali. >> whenever anybody says sniffer plane, it makes me giggle. but it's a serious plane. it's a boeing plane that goes 400 miles an hour. while we're talking about airplanes, what is the latest on an incident with the aircraft carrier, the "carl vinson," which is now apparently heading for korea? >> we just heard from the pentagon within the past hour or so that there was an incident with the "uss carl vinson" as it

was off the waters of the philippines. a pilot on board an f-18 ejected safely into the sea there. he was retrieved by helicopter. a helicopter assigned to the aircraft carrier was brought back on board and being assessed. he's said to be fine medically. what happened here, what went wrong is under investigation right now. the military only saying the f-18 was on approach to the aircraft carrier, the "carl vinson" when this incident happened. under invest dpags, bigation bu pilot appears to be fine. >> thank you, kelly cobiella, in south korea. joining me now is the man who served as secretary of defense for intelligence under the obama administration. also defense secretary to bob gates. good to see you. >> thank you, ali. >> let's talk about north korea. this emphasis on being nice to

china to get china to do the right things for -- to north korea. you guys tried this, the obama administration. both bush administrations tried this. everybody has tried this, the concept of trying to get china to do the heavy lifting because they're the closest to north korea. >> the only way to resolve the north korea situation is through diplomatic pressure, to get to a place where the north korean regime puts a deal in place to remove its nuclear weapons in the long run. denuclearize the peninsula and also reduce the threat from its missile programs. diplomacy and political pressure is the way to do it, packed up by military force as we need to. the administration is doing the right thing by keeping the options on the table. >> the other day, secretary of state tillerson said iran could be the next north korea. with iran, we have a lot of intelligence in iran. there are american operatives with human intelligence. that's something you can do in iran. we don't have as good intelligence in north korea, which does actually hamper the

ability to get into a war with them. >> it does. both north korea and iran present big enigmas to us. particularly the plans and intentions of their leaders. the iranian regime or north korea regime, led by kim jong-un, a fairly young guy who looks to have a skewed sense of reality. understanding what motivates gege them, why they do what they do, is a challenge. >> two schools of thought about why these two countries do what they do. one is that there are real hard liners who really hate america and e west and they want to seem their regime going. the other is it is an effort to get a grand bargain. iran didn't do too badly on the iran deal. what do you think north korea is after? are they looking for a grand bargain in exchange for giving up the nuclear power? they get welcomed into the global economic community?

>> we don't know what's on kim jong-un's mind. if he sees threats from his neighbors and the united states and is par no par paiannoyed, w angle to come? >> the former secretary of defense for intelligence. french officials are hunting for more suspects following a deadly shootout in central paris. authorities searched for clues at the gunman family home outside of paris. the shooter was identified as a 39-year-old french citizen. he killed one police officer and injured others in an area packed with tourists. i'm joined by matt from the

champs eliysees. >> he killed an officer and wounded others, including a tourist. cheurfi is his name. while we don't have a profile set for who is doing these lone wolf attacks, if there is a profile, cheurfi would be meeting it. he was born here. he's muslim. he doesn't have a history of radical islam. a lot of his friends and associates with telling french media that he actually really never went to the mosque. he was known for loafing around his apartment, for smoking, for drinking. in fact, he just had a blind hatred of police. he was implicated in the attempted assassination of police officers about ten years ago. he did ten years in prison. then he was arrested in february. police had him in their grasp and they released him for lack of evidence. they thought he had threatened

violence against police officers. now a lot of french people are wondering why this man was allowed to be free, at large, here in france to threaten the police once again. all of this is coming to bare on what is really the closest french elections in a generation on sunday. many here believe this terror attack could tip the balance in favor of far right popular marine le pen. she's the one to watch here. she's only behind in the polls by a hair's breadth. emmanuel is just ahead of her. he's the centrist candidate. all of these figures in the polling, they're within the margin of error. this is totally up for grabs. there are four candidates who are now leading in the race. it is a very, very close poll and, really, on midnight tonight, all of these candidates are going to have to stop campaigning. it is a race to see who can take advantage of this very, very, tense political moment.

marine le pen appears to be doing the most she possibly can to exploit the terror attack. the prime minister here, the current government, he came out and criticized her today, saying she was exploiting not only a terror attack but the death of a french policeman for political gain. she has called on the current government to close all the french borders. that's really a populist move. it's not clear whether that's going to benefit her in these elections on sunday. it will determine not just the future of france but the european union as a whole. >> matt bradley, live in paris. coming up, the attorney general and the department of homeland security secretary are touring the border of mexico this morning. the trump administration attempts to tighten immigration policies. i'll speak with both attorney general sessions and secretary kelly. first, a look at foreign hot spots with republican congressmcongres congressman and former navy s.e.a.l. of virginia. what he thinks should be done in

we continue to follow developments surrounding nuclear tensions with north korea after state media threatened a, quote, super, mighty, preemptive strike that would reduce the u.s. to ashes. intelligence officials tell nbc news they expect a nuclear test or at least another missile test over the next few days. joining me is congressman scott taylor of virginia, a member of

the appropriations committee, department of homeland security and a former navy s.e.a.l. kelly cobiella just reported an f-18 coming in to land on the "carl vinson," the pilot had to eject and was plucked out by a helicopter. is there -- has this crossed your wires, and is it something to be worried about? >> it's going to good to be wit. i'm not privy to information about that specific accident. hopefully he or she -- >> i believe he's doing well. >> everything they do is life threatening and dangerous, any training or operations. >> let me ask you about something i just spoke to my last guest about. president trump appears to be leaning heavily on china to diffuse the crisis with north kor korea. here's what he said about president xi possibly shutting down kim jong-un's economic

lifeli lifeline, coal. listen. >> i can say that all of the pundits out there are saying they never have seen china work like they're working right now. many coal ships have set back. many other things have happened. some very unusual moves have been made over the last two or three hours. >> again, you know, congressman, we have always taken the view that china might be the most effective way to deal with north korea. maybe it's sometimes worked and maybe it hasn't. what's your view on this now? >> i have to give credit where credit is due. i think china has stepped up. they've taken what's happening seriously. there has been a component introduced with this. the potential of force, of course, from this administration. china moved 150,000 troops toward the border. they've also publicly warned north korea. they stopped shipments and publicly said they're working with this administration. china is a key element to be

able to temper tensions down on the korean peninsula. >> are you bothered by the fact the president seemed to have turned around his view? he ran on a campaign to be really tough on china, and now he's trading it off for chinese support vis a vis north korea. >> i think those issues will be there when it comes up. but when you're governing, you have to see what the playing field is and move based on the situation on the ground. it is important he engages china to help us with north korea and the world, quite frankly, with north korea. you're seeing him do that. >> let's talk about a congressional authorization for the use of military force. after the syria strikes, you mentioned -- you had on your website that the continued use of the 16 year old use of military force ausizatithorizat unexpected. does congress have to sit down and talk about military force with respect to syria and korea?

>> yes, absolutely. look, i supported the strike in syria because of the u.n. chemical weapons convention and he or she has to deal with potential threats to national security, allies and national interests. however, this is the second administration working off a third administration's 16 year old use of military force. for any party, any country, we have to have this debate in congress, to figure out what's acceptable to the american people via the representatives moving forward. no doubt about it, we have to have the debate. that's not a partisan issue. that's an american issue. >> understood. congressman, good to talk to you. love to get you back next year. apparently, health care is becoming a topic again. maybe we can talk about that. >> love to. thanks for having me. >> representative scott taylor of virginia, a former navy s.e.a.l. nbc news gained access to ice agents patrolling for undocuments immigrants in southern california. we'll have a live report from

the state of arkansas executed its first inmate is

more than a decade. lee was put to death by lethal injection just before midnight. moments before his death warrant was set to expire. his death caps a week of legal challenges as the state sought to execute an unprecedented eight inmates over an 11-day period before the supply of the lethal drug expires. three of the executions have been blocked. three others are scheduled for next week. white house budget director mulvaney says funding for a border way and more agents must be included in a new government spending bill which lawmakers hope to unveil next week. this comes as jeff sessions and homeland security secretary john kelly are getting a firsthand look at operations along the u.s. border with moexico this morning. they'll both join me live in a couple minutes. first, gadi schwartz gained access with ice agents as they conducted immigration arrests in southern california. gadi joins me now from san diego. gadi? >> ali, it was a very rare look

that we were given into how a lot of these teams operate. there are nine teams here in southern california that operate. they're ero teams, which is enforcement and removal operations. every morning, they have lists of immigrants who have criminal histories. a lot of times, they're surve surveilling these people they'd like to arrest. a lot of times, they're trying to make those arrests. basically, we went out and saw how that all happened. four people were arrested while we were with these teams. two of which had served some hard time in prison for things like burglary. they said they had a feeling that ice was going to catch up with them. one of the things that ice agents told us was that they would much rather take these people into custody while they were actually in the custody of either the state or possibly a jail. they are unable to do so because a lot of municipalities and counties don't honor ice detainers or ice holds. there's a lot of reasons why they don't. a lot of cities have obviously

embraced the sanctuary city mentality, where they believe that is not something they want to do and they don't want to send that message to the community. there are also constitutional concerns over whether detainers are legal. two judges, a district judge as well as a federal judge, have ruled in cases that those detainers are unconstitutional and you can't keep people in jail after their release date. that's one of the things that ice agents were talking about. another thing we saw that was extremely interesting while we were out there, we went to a house. agents surrounded the house. they knocked on the window to try to make an arrest of a man inside. then we saw somebody hold out a card. take a look. >> reporter: at the last house, agents try knocking on a window. a woman flashes an immigrants rights card like this one, saying they won't cooperate without a warrant. the agents stand down.

>> she basically showed you a card from an attorney. >> right. that says don't talk to ice. i'm not going to let you in. of course, we're going to abide by that. >> those cards are the types of cards that are given out during advocate immigrant rights trainings that they have for the immigrant community. it says they won't cooperate with a warrant. agents say they've been seeing those more and more and they abide by the cards. they will not go inside without a warrant. but they say they also know where the subjects live, and they will try to arrest them in the future. they say this is something that they are seeing much more of. when it comes to why they don't have a warrant, it's a matter of practicality, agents say. they can go to judges and request the warrants, but the immigration system, the immigration court system, is completely overwhelmed.

so that's one of the problems they have out there. one of the things that we've seen. ali, back to you. >> gadi, thanks very much flt th -- and thanks for setting up a discussion on immigration we'll have later. jeff sessions can't promise so-called dreamers won't be deported. he has a message to people thinking of coming into the country illegally. please don't come. i'll speak with the attorney general and homeland secretary general john kelly, live from the mexican border, when we come back. the world's 2nd most decorated sushi chef... i'm trying to get the first. over here we have quiet spaces for deep thoughts. the latest smart technology. and of course, personal mobility solutions... functional and pragmatic.

he's poiivanka trump and ja kushner friday morning. hijazi was the u.s. citizen detained in egypt for nearly three years. just got back to the u.s. from cairo. let's listen in. >> no questions. >> [ inaudible ]. >> i think we're in good shape. >> the president says, we're in good shape. stop taking pictures and get the reporters out of the room. he sent a u.s. government plane to get hijazi out of egypt where she had been held for three years. president trump's temporary ban on refugees and travelers from six predominantly muslim countries is being held up in the courts for now.

but his administration has stepped up removal of undocumented immigrants from the country. amid all this, the department of justice promised to go after so-called sanctuary cities. these are locals that pledge not to check the legal status of immigrants in their midst unless a warrant has been issued by the department of homeland security in specific cases. joining me to discuss this and more is united states attorney general jeff sessions and homeland security secretary john kelly. both of them are in san diego today, near the border with mexico, to observe dhs border and immigration detention operations. thank you for joining us, gentlemen, on msnbc. i'll start with you, attorney general sessions. you're there in san diego. a place where the mayor denies being a sanctuary city, but he also says his police officers will not be immigration officers. you've said that sanctuary cities make our nation -- this is your quote -- make our nation less safe by putting criminals back on the streets and threatened to hold back $4.1 billion in federal funding from

them. some of the jurisdictions say they are statistically safer because immigrant communities don't feel threatened by the police. they cooperate more. they report crimes. they send their kids to school. what sort of argument do you have for them? >> we believe the sanctua cities have a responsibility when they arrest an individual in their communities for serious crime, to notify the department of homeland security so that they can fulfill their responsibility to deport those who violated the conditions of immigration. some of them already here illegally. so i think it is unthinkable that a city would not want to remove individuals from their community who have committed serious crimes in their community. and some cities are cooperating. some are totally uncooperative. and some are fully cooperative. so it is not a question of, you can't do it. most cities are doing it and are cooperating. we're pleading with the cities.

let's not have a fight over this. let's rethink it, see if you can't fulfill the requirements of really good law enforcement and let's work together. >> but they're prepared to fight. a number of cities said, we'll see you in court report. others said, we're not going to enforce immigration law in our cities. it's for the feds to do. >> first of all, i would say to the leaders of these cities, please review what you're doing. i say to the voters in those cities, ask your leadership why it is they don't want to remove dangerous criminals from your community and cooperate with federal law enforcement. and why federal law enforcement should cooperate with cities that don't cooperate with them. so i hope we don't end with a fight, but we're perfectly willing to do whatever i can to ensure that we have the kind of unified effort that protects america. >> attorney general sessions, on march 30th, exactly three weeks

ago, judge watson of the united states district court for the district of hawaii rejected the government's request to limit his earlier ruling on president trump's travel order, in which he said it discriminated against muslims. on wednesday, you said this on the radio. >> i really am amazed that a judge sitting on an island in the pacific can issue an order that stops the president of the united states. >> attorney general, what do you have to say about that? >> well, i think that was a perfectly correct statement. we have some 700 federal judges. one of them has now stopped the president of the united states, who is briefed daily from the department of defense, the cia, the department of justice, homeland security, on the dangers and threats we face. he's issued a perfectly reasonable executive order that delays six countries for 90 days from being brought -- imgramigrs

coming here because we cannot vet them. they are state-sponsors of terrorism and three are states with terrorists -- >> the issue is as a lawyer and former u.s. attorney and senator, you diminished a federal judge and made reference to somebody being in the middle of the pacific, suggesting if they're not on the mainland united states, it's not as important. >> i wasn't diminishing the judge or the island of hawaii, that beautiful place. give me a break. i was just making the point that it is very real, one judge, out of 700, has stopped the president of the united states from doing what he believes is necessary to protect our safety and security. i believe it is constitutionally sound. i believe he has explicit statutory authority to do this act. we expect to prevail on appeal. >> attorney general, i'm going to give you a break as you asked. i'll turn to secretary kelly

now. juan montes, 23-year-old mexican who came to the country illegally with his family as a child qualified for the deferred action for childhood arrivals, daca. attorney general sessions said on wednesday, quote, daca enr e enrolles are not being targeted. everyone in the country illegally is subject to being deported. people come here, stay a few years and somehow think they're not subject to being deported. yes, they are. now, secretary, montes was picked up by federal agents and deported to mexico. he's suing for information on his case. how did he get deported if he had a valid daca card, good until 2018? did you make a mistake? >> no. >> he had -- all right. do you understand he had a daca card valid until 2018? i appreciate the brevity. >> he was once covered by the daca order from president obama. by his irresponsible behavior, breaking the law, by definition,

he no longer was covered by daca. so he was deported, quite rightly, because he had, by his behavior, criminal behavior in some cases, had lost daca status. simple as that. >> all right. so it is not an issue of the fact that he wasn't -- the information we got from the department of homeland security is that they did not have evidence that he had daca status. are we clearing that up now, that you did know that he did and you deported him for other reasons? >> no. he had daca status up until, i think, 2018, i believe. but because of his irresponsible behavior, according to the rules set up by president obama, he lost that status. by the way, we provided the information to his lawyer. i don't know why that's still an issue. >> we spoke to the lawyer -- >> i guess because of things like this. hang with me a second. let me finish. >> yeah. >> i think it is an issue because either organizations like yourself, like yours, are not reporting it, so i'm here to tell you right now. the information has been

provided. he was not in daca status because of his own, irresponsible behavior, and he is now back over the border, in accordance with what president obama set up. it is as simple as that. >> secretary, in fairness, we have you live on tv right now saying it. so we can't be accused of not reporting it. what are the violations he committed? >> thanks. various things. he was convicted for theft. he had gone illegally into mexico and we caught him coming back in. that's a felony. he also had a series of driving violations or driving without a license or something like that. so, again, not just one thing. but the big news should be that he did not have daca status by his own actions, and he was deported. >> we will follow up with you on that. thank you for that information, sir. attorney general, why are you considering charging wikileaks julian assange? if you do, how do you deal with the fact you might open the door

to prosecuting anyone who receives classified information as opposed to the traditional government view of this, where you prosecute leakers of confidential information? >> we don't make any comments about the existence of investigations. i have said that this department of justice understands that the united states government has a right to protect security information. we've had a great deal of leaks. some because of lack of discipline in our government. some because of outside criminal acts directly. all of which are very serious. the department of justice will fulfill our responsibility to try to move this needle back to where the government is able to protect the legitimate secrets it needs to protect the safe the i of the american people. >> just to clarify, are you okay with the idea that people who are recipients of confidential information, generally speaking,

could be subject to federal prosecution, as opposed to just those who leak it? >> you know, hypothetical and facts are so important in those cases. i'd want to consult with my good lawyers before i gave you an opinion anyway. i'm just not able to comment on that. >> thank you, gentlemen, for your time. jeff sessions and john kelly. >> thank you very much. >> thank you. i want to bring in hawaii's attorney general doug chin, now twice challenged president trump's executive orders, cracking down on travel from several muslim majority countries. thank you for joining us. good to see you again. you heard attorney general sessions explaining his comments, calling hawaii an island in the pacific, which i guess isn't entirely incorrect, but he seemed to be diminishing that. he said he didn't mean to do that. >> first of all, i'm speaking to you from the island in the middle of the pacific, and what we're doing is really -- we

should go back to what this is all about. this is about an executive order that is unconstitutional, that discriminates against people based on their nation of origin or religion. ultimately, the problem with what attorney general sessions is saying is that he's just not respecting the separation of powers. we have a president, but he's not the king. this is just -- these are all the types of lessons that the administration keeps teaching us, that helps us remind ourselves of social studies. the judiciary can check the federal administration, and that's just how the system works. >> let's talk about the law for a second. the immigration and nationality act of 1965, it is known as 8 u.s. code. no person shall receive any preference or priority or be discriminated against in theish shurns of an immigrant visa because of person's race, sex,

nationality, place of birth or place of residence. while the revised executive order of march 6th deals with some of the practical and due process issues raised by the various court, opponents say that the law -- or the travel ban remains contrary to this particular law. how do you see that? >> right. that's exactly what our argument is. if i were to be completely fair, then i would say that's exactly the issue that's going to be teed up in front of the courts, which is that there's parts of the immigration and nationality act that talk about the president's national security powers, but our arguments is that that power is checked by congress. that decides whether or not people are able to come spot country or not. as well as parts of that law that also say that you cannot discriminate people's entry into the united states based upon their nation of origin. so we believe it is a convincing argument, and we look forward to

arguing that in front of the ninth circuit or further up to the u.s. supreme court. >> attorney general doug chin of hawaii. thank you for joining us. >> thank you very much, sir. tomorrow is earth day. around the world, brilliant people are solving some of the biggest environmental challenges. i'll speak with the smithsonian chief about the most promising and exciting solutions. one egg that just tastes better. fresher. more flavorful. delicious. only one egg with better nutrition- like more vitamins d, e, and omega 3s. and 25% less saturated fat. only one egg good enough for my family. because why have ordinary when you can have the best. eggland's best. the only egg that gives you so much more: better taste. better nutrition. better eggs.
