potential conflict of interest with his business ventures overseas. others in consideration for the post include former c.i.a. director david petreaus, republican senator bob corker, and marine corps general john kelly. now, since becoming the president-elect, trump has reportedly received only two classified intelligence briefings. elaine, vice president-elect pence, by contrast, has opted to receive them daily. >> quijano: errol barnett in colleges and universities across the country are trying to convince president-elect trump not to deport more than a million students who came to the u.s. as undocumented immigrants. here's carter evans. >> reporter: 19-year-old daniella hinojosa sada is a double major in computer science and japanese on a full-ride scholarship at pomona college. she's a typical all-american student, except daniella is an undocumented immigrant who was brought to the u.s. from mexico
6:36 pm
12 years old. >> reporter: that you weren't a citizen. >> yeah, i didn't know. >> reporter: she's now attending college legally, part of a program to accommodate children who arrived in the u.s. as illegal immigrants. but president-elect trump has threatened to cancel these types of programs, which could put more than one million students, like daniella, at risk of deportation. if the government said, "you've got to go back to mexico," even though you've never lived there, where would you go? >> i suppose i'd go live with my important question because, you know, people always say like, "we'll send you back home." but is that really your home,un? >> reporter: where is your home town? >> st. louis, missouri. i grew up there. >> reporter: earlier this week, pomona college president david oxtoby wrote an open letter to the incoming administration saying the program helping immigrant students is "both a moral imperative and a national necessity." it's now been signed by the presidents of more than 250 colleges and universities across the country.

6:38 pm
there were a lot of questions about whether or not you would be able to find anyone who did not already have an opinion on this case and then find people who were willing to issue a death sentence. here, the system isn't designed to find people who have never heard of the case. the system is designed to find people who have an open mind about the facts of the case and who are also open to issuing a death sentence. >> quijano: what about the prosecution here seeking the death penalty? i understand there's actually some push-back to that. >> reporter: there is some push-back. it's very interesting that the attorney general chose to bring a fed c state case where he's already eligible for the death penalty because the state doesn't have hate crime laws. and she saw this as a hate crime, and she specifically said she was going to pursue this case and pursue the death penalty to address the alleged motivation behind this crime. >> quijano: a lot of people keeping a very close eye on this case. paula reid, thank you so much. tonight, the first american service member killed in combat in syria was identified as scott

"they were told how to buy weapons" through popular with terrorists. the men were arrested in strasbourg and in marseilles, in southern france, last weekend. police sources say their targets may have included euro disney, paris' famous christmas market which draws crowds of visitors, as well as the city's cafes and restaurants, beloved by both residents and tourists. their vulnerability was horribly

6:47 pm
markey's office found nearly 10% of the accidents we identify were not reported, a step required by law if the car is less than 10 years old. it makes it a lot harder to say there's a problem if the car makers aren't reporting there's a problem. >> there's a huge regulatory black hole within which the automotive industry is able to escape responsibility because they do not report these accidents. >> reporter: the hastings sued after their accident. ford settled. >> if the seat did not collapse, he wouldn't haveuf rest of his life. >> reporter: car makers can face significant fines for failing to properly report accidents. it's an allegation n.h.t.s.a. says it takes very seriously. the agency stresses the safest place for kids is the back seat. auto industry engineers have admitted the cost to fix the seat back issue could be on the order of $1 or so. >> quijano: an important investigation. kris van cleave, thank you. when we come back, the story of
