understand it, this memo directs these agencies to pause the disbursement of funds for financial assistance programs. it doesn't specifically identify in this memo which programs that refers to. it did say specifically that this does not include disbursements for social security and medicare or direct payments to individuals, but that sort of leaves up. it leaves up in the air what exactly this does mean as it relates to the many programs that receive all or some of their funding from these grant and loan programs that are run by the executive branch of the federal government. so, for example, if you have programs that are funded through if you have people who receive assistance through state programs or nonprofit organizations, and the money comes from the federal government to those organizations or state local programs, that money flow from the federal government would be paused. if this memo, according to this memo that would go into effect at 5:00 this evening. and

so those efforts, whether they be housing or food assistance programs or some education related programs, those things would cease to receive that money from the federal government. your question about whether the president has the authority to do this? you're right. congress does control the purse strings. and as money is appropriated by congress, it is supposed to be doled out by the executive branch. the president does have some flexibility with that, but it's really not clear right now whether he has the ability to just say, stop for any extended period of time. >> april, a lot is not clear here. >> we don't know the full scope. >> of this. >> decision yet. >> and again. >> the actual powers. >> the president has. but we do know people get federal aid in the form of loans, food aid, farm assistance. if we don't know. >> the. >> full extent of what's on pause, how much confusion does this create? it creates a lot of confusion. >> and anna, today. >> we're going to. >> find out. >> we're going. >> to. >> try to. >> parse through the. >> confusion today at. >> 1:00 in the. >> white house. >> briefing room with the.

to say about all of this. >> and erin. >> this memo was signed. by the acting director of the office of management and budget. trump's pick to lead that office is russell. vote someone deeply involved with project 2025. what do we know about his plans? if confirmed. >> and someone who has served in this role in the first trump administration? we don't have specific details about his plans moving into this position. we know that there was a contentious confirmation hearing for mr. vote last week. i believe it was where he was asked questions about whether he would, for example, spend the money that congress had appropriated for different programs. and he wasn't inclined to give a direct answer on some of these things, saying things like he would wait to see what the policy priorities were of president trump, and he would act accordingly to his policy priorities and in accordance with the law. but he did talk about the president's desire to see fiscal accountability come back, as he often says, into the federal government. and he was

asked if he would direct agencies to withhold grant funding. that was one of the questions that was put to him, whether he would withhold grant funding based on political differences with president trump, and he indicated that he would make decisions based on the law, based on priorities from the president, not necessarily on political inclinations. >> ana aaron gilchrist, thank you. we'll let you keep digging on what's impacted here. ken. the justice department also made some news late yesterday announcing it fired several career lawyers who worked on investigations involving trump. so do we know who exactly was fired and what is the broader impact of this purge? >> good morning ana. the impact is deeply significant. we don't know all the identities nor the number of people fired. >> around 40. >> career prosecutors. >> worked for jack smith. >> so it's not. >> clear how many we're talking about here. but this came in. >> a letter. >> from acting. >> attorney general james mchenry, who summarily fired these people. >> and said that essentially. >> they cannot be. trusted to carry out the. >> president's agenda because.

>> they prosecuted. >> the president. >> and the letter. >> accused them. >> of weaponizing, being participating. >> in. >> the weaponization. >> of the justice department. >> it's important. >> to say. >> there's been no. >> evidence that has surfaced. >> that has suggested that there was anything. inappropriate or biased about. >> the work of jack smith's office, which. >> was carried out mostly by. >> career prosecutors. like these people. >> we're talking about. >> and there really isn't. >> we're going to. >> use this word. >> unprecedented a lot. we have. >> never seen this before. >> it's one thing for the. administration to reassign some. >> senior career officials. >> which they have. >> done, and. >> told them that they need. >> to go work on sanctuary. >> cities. >> and. >> some of those. >> people have resigned. instead of. >> going to do that. >> that's within. >> their prerogative. that's legal. >> what legal. >> experts are telling us is these firings. >> were not legal because. >> these people have civil service protection they need in order to fire them. you need to prove. >> essentially that they were. >> incompetent, that they disobeyed orders, that. >> they did. >> something inappropriate. and there's a whole mechanism to enforce that. so they're going to fight these firings before what's known as the merit

systems protection board. >> they may win, but it probably won't matter. in the end. >> the message. >> was sent. >> and the message is, if you mess with the trump administration inside the justice department, they are. >> coming. >> after you. >> april, we. >> are just one week into this presidency. and when you look at the scope of president trump's moves in recent days from firing a slew of inspector. >> generals. >> the firing of officials at the department of justice, as well as this pause on grants and loans. and that's just what's been done in the last two days. what do the last eight days tell you about the next four years? >> well. >> hold on to your seats. you know, i was talking to someone at naacp official. they were like, wait a minute. we're just, what, seven days? i said, no, eight days into this today. and they were. >> like, wow. >> what does this mean? it means that this president is true to what he said on the campaign trail, trying to fulfill things that he couldn't fulfill in the first term. this president is not a rights president. he is not a civil rights president. and that's one thing we know. we just have to see how it all plays out. but the question is how much hurt will be doled out? i mean, just looking at that,

the issue of the loans and grants, you know, you also have research universities. that money is going to be suspended with. and what will he constitute as woke versus not? i mean, you have a lot of hbcus out here that get research money. they're looking to be an r1 research status institution. and will he say, oh, i don't want to do that anymore. and at one point, i remember when donald trump was president, the first time they offered to give more money to hbcus. and then steve bannon came back and said, no, that's unconstitutional. but congress gave the money. so there is a fine line here as to what is constitutional, what is woke, what is anti do or die? we have to see what their definition of all of this is, but i expect there's going to be a lot of hurt for a lot of people between now and the end of this first term. >> ken, i wanted to ask you about another doj related move. the president at. >> least throwing out this idea. >> yesterday that the united states should send american

criminals overseas and simply pay foreign countries a small fee to hold them versus pumping, quote, massive amounts of money, end quote, into u.s. jails and private prisons. and he claims other countries do this. what are the facts? and could this go anywhere with the justice department? >> i'm going to. >> go out on a limb. >> ana, and say that this would require a change in federal law. >> i don't believe that. >> it's authorized as it as it currently stands. and look, obviously the british empire did this and that resulted in the creation of the country of australia. it's not. >> really done. >> in modern times. i think this is an example, though, of the kind of thing that donald trump throws out there. look, he politicians. >> are never going to lose. >> popularity by promising to get tougher on criminals. but i think we need to keep. >> our eye. >> on the really significant things that they are doing here, including essentially going to war with law enforcement by firing career prosecutors and by pardoning, you know. people who committed violence against police officers and by withdrawing the security details

from former members of the administration who are under real threat. >> from. >> the iranians. these are things that are happening. these are not just things that donald trump is throwing out there to get attention. so but he's going to do that a lot. he's he's really good at it. and i think this is an example. >> ken. >> thank you so much. and april, at that same event yesterday, president trump said this about a potential third term. take a listen. >> i've raised a lot of money for the next race that i assume i can't use for myself, but i'm not 100% sure because i don't know. i think i'm not allowed to run again. i'm not sure. am i allowed to run again? >> so he appeared to be joking there. >> but april, we've all learned over the years to take trump's extreme rhetoric seriously. what do you make of that? >> he said it over and over again. he's talked about a third term. and not only that, you know, remember when he was running for office? he said, if you're a christian, you don't have to vote again. i was like, what does that mean? so he's he's trying to push the

envelope. presidents have said in the past, the ones that i've covered over the last 28 years, i cannot run again because it's unconstitutional unless they change the constitution. you know, right now he's only going to be a two term president. this should be under what our laws say and our founding fathers put in place. this should be his last term. but if there's an amendment, if something changes, he could wind up being a three term president. >> one lawmaker has suggested he might be in support. of crafting legislation to try to amend the constitution. april, ryan, good to have you here. thanks for your perspective. somebody who's covered so many administrations. up next. ice ramping up raids under president trump, arresting nearly 1200 undocumented migrants in a day. but nearly half have no criminal records inside their efforts. and the growing fear. and here's a question can an american citizen be held legally liable if they try to protect an undocumented

administration's immigration operations. she is here on the ground in new york city overseeing ice operations. just a couple of days after being confirmed for the dhs job. and we're learning the administration plans to conduct major enforcement operations in three cities per week. this is according to three sources familiar with the planning. several cities have seen increased activity this week, but the three major cities have been chicago, new york today and then thursday, expected to be aurora, colorado. this deportation push is also seeing pushback. quaker congregations are now suing over president trump's move to allow immigration operations in sensitive locations like churches. some of the country's largest school districts are also taking steps to protect undocumented children from raids inside schools and in cities like pittsburgh, dozens of businesses are temporarily shuttering to prevent arrests of their workers. nbc's gabe gutierrez is on the scene here

in new york city. our priscilla thompson is near the border in el paso and also with us, krish o'mara vignarajah, president and ceo of global refuge, which supports refugees and migrants here in the u.s. gabe, in her first high profile moment as dhs secretary, kristi noem's here in new york overseeing these immigration actions. what's her role today and what are you seeing so far? >> hi there. >> good morning. >> well, kristi noem is here today. this comes after trump's border czar, tom homan, was in chicago over the weekend as well as yesterday. this is all part of the trump administration and trying to publicize these immigration enforcement actions and providing a lot of videos and still still pictures of these operations happening. >> this morning. >> we've already seen several arrests in and around the new york city area, and this is all part of that push to really publicize these operations more and more. now, according to a

senior administration official, we did find that there were 1200 arrests on on sunday, and that is a larger number than we had seen last week. however, according to that official, about half of them or so were people without criminal records besides being in the country illegally. and that is significant because when we've spoken with trump's border czar, when we spoke with the administration, they say their goal here is to go for the worst of the worst. and in fact, we saw that yesterday in chicago. we rode along with some ice agents, and they did try to arrest those people with criminal records. we spoke with an undocumented immigrant who was had just been arrested. and this is all part again, of the administration really trying to make that point. now, i should point out, ana, here in the roosevelt hotel in midtown manhattan, this is new york's main migrant intake shelter, and already more than 230,000

migrants have arrived in new york over the past two and a half years. the city expects that it could. it could cost about $4 billion to take care of all these migrants this fiscal year. although we should note, the number of migrants in the city has dropped and they have closed some shelters over the past few months on it. >> so. >> gabe, going back to the numbers that you gave us of the action that's happened in the last couple of days, and just looking at sunday alone, nearly half were not criminal arrests. so how is the administration explaining that when they're messaging all along has been we're going after the criminals. >> well, and that's one of the points i just made. but to build on that, they have been talking about so-called collateral arrests. and i've noticed that over the past several weeks, they have been acknowledging that there would be so-called collateral arrests. and that's when ice agents go, and they go after a target with a criminal record. and in the process of

that, they may find other undocumented immigrants in the area. and that's what's known as collateral or so-called collateral arrests. we heard from tom homan saying to expect that. and that is something that we appear to be seeing more and more of. the question will be in the coming days and weeks, is that where will these people who are arrested? where will they be detained? there is an issue with potentially detention beds in and around the country, and the trump administration has once again been looking to congress to fund this whole effort. ice is some $230 million in the hole as part of a budget shortfall. >> gabe. thank you for your reporting. and so, priscilla, the last of the flights carrying troops that are headed for the border, i understand, have arrived. tell us what happens next there. >> that's right. ana, no. more planned. flights carrying additional troops here. but we have seen over the past several days, hundreds of troops

arriving on those military aircraft. and they are set to be deployed all across the southwestern border. here we are told that they are not going to. focus on actual immigration enforcement, but rather mitigation and detection. so things like. >> building border barriers. >> and also assisting with those mass. deportation flights using military aircraft, which we have seen happening over the past several days. but that announcement federally comes as the governor here in texas, governor abbott, is also ramping up texas's efforts. he sent out a release just this morning saying that they were sending additional tactical teams to the border. and that comes after yesterday he announced 400 troops from. this border tactical team that he founded back in 2023 or created back in 2023, that those troops were also going to be headed to the border. and we also saw yesterday some concerning activity on the border when it appears that customs and border patrol agents came under fire by

mexican cartel members or operatives in that area. and we know that the texas department of public safety soldiers did have to assist them with that. we're told no injuries were reported. but certainly some of the concerning things that we're seeing as all of these troops are landing here and preparing to be deployed across the border. >> ana. priscilla. thank you. chris, what are you seeing in terms of the fear factor now rippling through immigrant and refugee communities right now because of the reality that these operations are not just picking up criminals. >> that fear factor, the chilling effect is obviously very real. you know, i think for so many of the families that we have heard from, they do worry in light of the fact that some of the application has been wielded more like a sledgehammer than a than a scalpel. i think we also are concerned about the fact that, you know, while the focus has been on unauthorized

migration, what we've seen from the white house in terms of the executive orders, it also really intends to dismantle existing legal immigration systems. and so the impact on our clients is rather massive. you know, so far we've seen the white house suspend the refugee resettlement program. they shut down the app by which you could schedule an appointment in order to present your case. they shut down the humanitarian parole program that allowed americans to sponsor their loved ones. and so this isn't just impacting, you know, the immigrant community. it's impacting american americans as well. >> one of the things you touched on was one of the first trump administration moves we've seen, which was to suspend the asylum claims at the border. and so it's sort of left migrants stranded in mexico, feels sort of like an out of sight, out of mind solution for the u.s. give us a sense of what that asylum suspension means. >> the real impact is that when people seek safety and

opportunity, they come to the u.s. when you cut the very few pathways that exist in our deeply outdated immigration system, what it means is that the options available to desperate families become smaller and smaller. and what i fear is that that means that the most extremely desperate will end up paying their life savings to cartel smugglers. and that's how u.s. immigration policy and how we implement it could end up pushing people towards exploitation and ultimately line the pockets of the very transnational criminal organizations we're trying to fight. >> and we only have about 30s. but i do want to get your take, too, on the refugee issue, because thousands of refugee flights to the u.s. were canceled, including those of afghan special immigrant visa holders. you hear from immigration hawks like trump that potential terrorists could slip through the cracks with these programs. what's your response to that? >> i think it's incredibly important to understand refugee resettlement is the gold

standard of a legal immigration pathway. these are families, individuals who have gone through cia, department of homeland security, fbi, interpol checks. they wait years abroad as they apply through the un or the us embassy. they are extremely vetted. and only when they get the clearance do they come to the us. it's why this program has always had bipartisan support. it is always why our national security officials strongly support keeping our promise to our afghan allies. and so it's incredibly disappointing to see the refugee resettlement and the special immigrant visa programs that help our afghan allies suspended. >> krish o'mara vignarajah, thank you very much for your insights and your perspective on this ahead. we're going to go deeper with an immigration lawyer about your rights and what migrants can do if ice comes knocking. but first, a nightmare on wall street. the artificial intelligence news rattling the tech world and the stock market. so is this a i'm barbara and i'm from st. joseph, michigan. stock market. so is this a sputnik moment for ai?

(vo) ready to meet the dream team? you can with wells fargo. i don't ever see anyone coming out to maintenance anything, so it's very scary for me because i have everything i love in this home. so, we've now implemented drone technology. how is that safe for me? it enhances the inspection, so it allows us to see things faster. your safety is the most important, and if you're feeling unsafe, that's not okay.

it doesn't feel like that in our hearts. i mean, it's worrisome. [dog barks] of more. get started at worthy comm. >> welcome back. i want to take you right to capitol hill. senate democrats are just now speaking out about the freeze of federal aid. let's listen. in this just moments ago. >> last night, president trump plunged the country into chaos without a shred of warning. the trump administration announced a halt to virtually all federal funds across the country. in an instant, donald trump has shut off billions, perhaps trillions of dollars that directly support states, cities, towns, schools, hospitals, small businesses, and most of all, american families.

this is a dagger at the heart of the average american family in red states and blue states and cities, in suburbs, in rural areas. it is just outrageous. funds for things like disaster assistance, local law enforcement, rural hospitals, aid to the elderly, food for people in need, all are on the chopping block in this new administration. why they need tax cuts for the ultra wealthy. and these cuts they think will fund them. every one of our offices has been deluged with calls from people who are in panic. what is this going to mean? what if i have a hospital that has people on life support? what are we going to do? and just like the january 6th pardons, this decision is

lawless, dangerous, destructive, cruel. it's illegal. it's unconstitutional. i spoke to my attorney general this morning. she's head of the state attorneys general association. they're going to court right away on this horror. this plain and simple. this is project 2025. project 2025 by another name. they knew how unpopular project 2025 was, but the right wing ideologues are still in control, so they had to do it in a different way. but it has the same consequences and will have the same horrible, negative, overwhelming reaction from the american people. and who is going to be the implementer of this? none other than the chief cook and bottle washer of project 2025. russell. vote.

putting someone like russell vote at omb. the architect of project 2025 is a huge danger sign to america. >> the attorney general. >> calling you back. >> no. >> you put him on. speakerphone and. >> put them in. no, >> no, my grandson lost his first tooth. it's a very big occasion. >> that's worthy. >> of. >> a call. >> and i told his mother to put $10 under his pillow. i used to get a quarter. all right. >> okay, we'll keep monitoring that. i think we've all been there before. the phone interrupting what is important business. let's bring in nbc's ryan nobles on capitol hill, who's also been listening in with us. and ryan, we're hearing the message now from democrats trying to push back against this federal freeze and talking about the impact. i'm curious what republicans are saying about all this. >> i think. >> for the most part. >> everyone here. >> on capitol. >> hill is a bit caught flat footed.

>> by this announcement. >> by the trump. >> administration to. >> essentially review. >> and. >> perhaps freeze. >> the funding. to countless federal. >> programs across the country. >> they're not exactly. >> sure how to react. >> they're not exactly sure. >> of the. impact that this could have. >> across the. >> country and. >> along with their constituents. >> as well. >> but this. >> could potentially be a real. stress point for members of congress, because. >> up until this point, and i know we're only a week into. >> the trump administration. but senate and house. >> republicans, for the most. >> part, have. >> seemed to be willing to do. trump's bidding and not push back at all and use. >> their. authority as a co-equal. >> branch of government to. >> keep the. >> administration in check. >> this is a real. opportunity now. >> for house and senate republicans. >> to stand. >> up and say, this is money that's already appropriated. this is money that has been signed into law and must be given to the different. agencies and groups that are responsible for administering. >> it. >> to the american people. and so one of the things we're going to look for today is how senate

republican appropriators, in. >> particular, the people that are responsible. >> for crafting the budget plans in the spending plans for the country are reacting to all of this, because what you see the trump. >> administration essentially. >> trying to do is. take that authority out of the hands of congress. you know. >> the. >> constitution explicitly says that congress has the power of the purse, and. it is the responsibility of congress to. >> to create the. >> budget and. appropriate those funds. and it's only the. >> responsibility of the. >> executive branch to actually administer those funds. so that will be a key pressure point. but it was also interesting, i thought, on the framing that you hear from senator schumer and democrats, they want this to be focused on the real world impact, the average everyday people that could find themselves losing funding that they count on. and we expect that to be a narrative that we hear from democrats increasingly more in the coming days. >> ana ryan nobles on capitol hill, thanks. and now to developments in the middle east. officials are just beginning discussions for the second phase

of the cease fire between israel and hamas. this next phase would set the groundwork to end the war. and according to a middle eastern official, this new round of talks is likely to take place in qatar next week. those developments after hamas revealed that eight of the 26 hostages set to be released in this first round of the cease fire have died. nbc's daniele hamamdjian is in tel aviv for us. danielle, what more are we learning about phase two of this deal and what's left of phase one? yeah, well. >> there's. >> still about. >> four more weeks to go until. >> the end of phase. >> one, and by then we. >> should see. >> all living hostages. all living. forgive me. children, women and elderly released. >> so much. >> still needs. >> to be. >> worked out when. >> it comes. >> to. >> phase two. this is. >> still very. >> vague by then. or the. >> plan for phase. >> two would. >> see the full. >> withdrawal of israeli. >> forces. the release of all

living hostages. including the male captives. >> in exchange. >> for some high. >> profile palestinian prisoners. >> the great. >> unknown. >> here. >> anna, is the day after. >> plan one that needs. >> the support. >> and approval. >> of both sides. hamas and israel. but there are some loud voices. >> within benjamin. >> netanyahu's fragile coalition. government who want the fighting to resume at the end of the first phase, even if it means sacrificing the lives of a few hostages. >> meantime, danielle, we've also been monitoring the trek home for hundreds of thousands of palestinians heading into parts of gaza that really had been evacuated since the beginning of this war. what more can you tell us about how that's going? >> well, there have been tens of thousands, possibly hundreds of thousands who have gone back. >> to northern gaza. >> and of course, many of them have heard comments made by president trump about the palestinians being transferred to egypt and jordan. many of them will say that they'd rather die on this land than being

forced to leave it. we today were in the west bank, in a village that is quite different from all the others, because there are noticeably different aspects. it's a very wealthy neighborhood. many people speak english there. that's because 80% of the people are palestinian american, but that doesn't protect them from settler violence. they say that they feel now those settlers feel emboldened by the new trump administration, who the settlers are coming to attack them, burn down their homes, their olive trees, which of course, is so critical to their livelihood. and we asked the spokesperson for this village today what he thought of trump's donald trump's comments and what his message is today. take a listen. >> we're asking for the. >> most basic human. >> right, which is enjoy our. >> homes. >> enjoy our. >> land in peace. that's it. we're not asking. >> to liberate palestine. we're not out here to do that. >> we're just asking to be left

alone, to live in peace. we want to send. >> the message out to president trump. >> we are. >> helpless as american citizens residing in palestine and more specifically in the town. >> and many of them worry now that the israeli government, with the support of donald trump's administration, now, will lay the groundwork for the annexation of the west bank. >> ana daniele hamamdjian, thank you. back here in the u.s, for migrant families increasingly fearful of ice raids, what do they do if agents come knocking? what are their rights? we'll talk to an immigration lawyer about how they can prepare amid the threat of potential deportations. >> gary used. >> car shopping can't hurt you. >> but what if i overpay? >> come out and i'll show you a better way. >> well, you said. >> i know. i said nearly half of all used cars have been in an accident. but there's no reason

>> old that she. >> was crying and asked not to go to school. today. >> from baltimore to las vegas, reports of fear in immigrant communities as immigration rates have really ramped up significantly since president trump took office. and now legal advocates are urging undocumented immigrants to learn their rights in case they're detained, because that information could be hard to come by once you're in ice custody. just last week, the doj ordered an end to know your rights presentations and posters in ice facilities. and joining us now, ellen nanda, she's the director of the immigration practice at brooklyn defenders, one of america's leading organizations offering public defenders for detained immigrants. ellen, it's good to have you here. thank you so much. thank you. what is your world like right now? is the phone just, like ringing off the hook? yes. >> and i think. >> it's a lot of clients, as you explain, are in fear. they're confused about what's happening. there's so much uncertainty. and i think it's important that we remind everyone that regardless

of your immigration status, you have rights. >> and that's. >> why we launched we have rights.us, which with our partners at the aclu and the immigrant defense project, are a series of videos that are available online that we have rights us, which outline your rights when ice is at your door, when ice approaches you in the street or the community, when ice arrests you, and most importantly, when ice. also when they're in your home. these are rights that you have. and i can go through the specific rights that individuals. we actually have a little bit of a clip to play of one of those videos you just mentioned. let's listen to that. >> one. even if they don't listen. >> do not open the door. >> if authorities come. >> to your home, no matter what they. >> say, without. >> a warrant signed by. >> a. >> judge. >> they have no authority. >> to enter. >> but beware. >> ice may enter your home. forcefully anyway. and if they. >> do. >> you ask them to leave. if they don't have. >> the proper warrant. >> be prepared. do not panic.

and remember. >> we have. >> rights. >> so we learned something in just that short clip. but walk us through it. if agents show up at your door, what can you do? what do you do and what are the other top questions you're getting? well, if agents show up at your door, do not let them in unless you see a judicially signed warrant. that's critical because ice officers do not show up with that. then make sure if for if you're approached on the street, if you're approached in the community. remember, you do not. have to answer any questions. you do not provide any information about your immigration status and you should be prepared. you should be prepared point, an individual in your life that you trust to care for your children, and that individual should hold on to any identity documents. if, unfortunately, you do get detained by ice and they approach you and they say you're under arrest, remain silent, ask for a lawyer and do not sign any documents when you're with them. so what about american citizens

who want to help protect some of this vulnerable population? could an american citizen be held legally liable if they tried to hide an undocumented immigrant, for example? well, what we have a video also that's available by witness that we worked with is talking about what you can do as a bystander. right? so if you see these encounters that are on the street, you have a right to record them. if an ice agent asks you to turn off the recording, then you should stop. but the way that american citizens right now, because so many people want to help everyone in this country who's facing this fear and facing this possible detention, we have rights as a way to do that, to make sure you're sharing this information so that people understand, regardless of your immigration status in this country, you have rights, and you have rights under the constitution and due process. but in the face of this kind of fear, which that's what this is causing, you have rights. well, thank you so much for coming in here and sharing that important

information and offering people a place to go to get more information. again, what is it? we have rights us. thank you again, ellen. good to meet you. up next on ana cabrera reports. mona lisa might not smile over this one. the brewing battle over who should have the world over who should have the world famous painting. ♪♪ nature knows best. that's why new chapter vitamins... ...follows her example. ♪♪ transforming nature's 4 billion years of wisdom... ♪♪ ...into supplements. with key vitamins, minerals, and herbs, sourced from whole food ingredients... ♪♪ ...all crafted to work with your body. ♪♪ bringing the power of nature... ...into your new chapter. dry... tired... itchy, burning... my dry eye symptoms got worse over time. my eye doctor explained the root was inflammation. xiidra was made for that, so relief is lasting.

new address, after reports of needed renovations at the louvre. some italian officials are now offering to take the mona lisa back to italy from france temporarily. nbc's joe fryer has the story. joe. >> hey there. recent reports in france suggest that parts of the louvre are in pretty rough shape. not to mention the huge crowds. that's why france's president is visiting the museum today. and while french officials decide on whether to renovate. well, one official in milan is saying, hey, we'll take the mona lisa off your hands while you figure things out. >> it's the biggest draw at the world's largest museum. >> it's right there. >> the mona lisa. a resident of the louvre. for most of the past couple centuries. a home that's. >> more crowded. >> than ever. >> what would da. vinci think of these. >> thousands of. >> people crowding. >> around here to snap their selfies? >> now. >> some in. >> italy want. >> to change her address, the times reports. the culture chief for the. >> milan region, in an. >> official note, says we are

french president macron will likely discuss today when he visits the famed museum. >> it's the biggest cultural prize ever. >> the mona lisa was painted by da vinci, the famed italian renaissance artist, in the early 1500s. she is hung on the walls of french royalty. napoleon and the louvre. except in 1911, when she was stolen by an italian employee who wanted to bring her back to italy. so how would she feel about returning today? well, as always, what she's thinking is almost impossible to read. >> the louvre is not commenting right now on these reports of poor conditions, or whether that is linked to the president's visit today. also, no comment on italy's offer to borrow the mona lisa for a short period of time. >> back to you. >> and an update just in literally the french president macron just announced that mona lisa is going to get her own dedicated space. so we'll keep you posted. and that does it for us today. jose diaz-balart picks up our coverage
