captured. tom? tom: ollie was captured at the birdhouse, where that happened. where ollie escaped was that way. you see the lid area down there. you have to go right and it's a distance further away than the birdhouse is from where i am standing. this is a picture of ollie after she was captured earlier today. earlier today they had a visitor who said i think i see the bobcat. they checked it out and put out a trap and it only took 15 minutes. lo and behold ollie was in the trap. at first they weren't sure it was ollie but then they were. >> it's a bobcat. got to be ollie. we took her to the vet hospital and able to confirm

that this is ollie bobcat. back safe and sound at the zoo. >> craig with the zoo who you heard from was over the moon about this. although ollie left the zoo and found and trapped on the zoo property today, the zookeepers believe she went further than that. there were sightings on massachusetts avenue. they think she followed rock creek and hung out in that area but eventually made her way back to the zoo property where she was captured today. reporting live at the national zoo, i'm tom roussey, abc7 news. jonathan: protecting any president is a tough job but trump -- protecting trump is a harder job. joce sterman has an exclusive look. johannsson trump is not the --

use twitter but what he has to say has the secret service running down more threats. the answer depends who you ask. >> we want to make the products again. >> joce: may be no better spokesman for twitter than the leader of the free world. president trump: a great form of communication. >> but is it a two-way street and that is not always good. >> each tweet creates an opportunity for someone to respond with a threat. >> if you have 22 million followers, some of them are just along for the hate speech. they think they can say what they want. >> they all have to be investigating. >> that keeps the intelligence squad busy. the agency as had an internet threat since 2000. but with trump tweeting up a storm are agents running down more threats? >> social media create more

>> perhaps. >> they are not a big fan of talking about the work unless you ask if it's a casual thing. >> what is the message to the people? >> we take it seriously. threatening the president is a violation of federal lu and we will thoroughly investigate the threats and take the necessary action. >> go ahead and disagree. if you are 140 characters, just know that what you say can and will be held against you. even if it takes a bigger secret service operation to keep up. >> we are not going back. we are not going back to snail mail. we are not getting rid of e-mail. not getting rid of the presidential tweets. >> so they won't talk specifics how many threats they are investigating but they are not the only ones watching social media. to see how the regular people they see against the

check that out on circa.com. joce sterman, back to you. michelle: thank you. two major developments in the building of president trump's cabinet. the first is the senate confirmation of rex tillerson as the 69th u.s. secretary of state. the former exxon c.e.o. getting 56 votes. we learned the nomination of betsy devos as character of education could be in -- as secretary of education could be in jeopardy. senators susan collins and lisa murkowski say they will not vote for her. the republicans hold only a two-vote majority in the senate so if there is a tie, vice president mike pence would cast the tie-breaking vote. meanwhile, president trump's pick for the supreme court, judge neil gorsuch is on capitol hill trying to garner support for the nomination but president trump is not mixing words about partisan gridlock. president trump: if we end up with the gridlock, if you can, mitch, go nuclear. alison: by "nuclear" he means

supreme court nominees. gorsuch is the first confirmation hearing expected to happen next month. jonathan: president trump is at dover air force base witnessing return of owens' body. the navy seal killed in raid on al-qaeda compound in yemen. four others were hurt in the operation. this was the first military aid authorized by president trump. alison: -- michelle: this was the scene at american university where 200 faculty and the staff members all rallies along with the students. right now another rally getting underway at reagan national airport. that is where we find tim barber. what is happening there? tim: people just started

or so. this is the protest area here. the interesting thing about this is the location. reagan national doesn't have any flight to the seven countries under the president's 90-day ban. activists chose the area because it's convenience for the protesters and the politicians pass through here. they are protesting the islamaophobia and xenophobia. president trump says this is not about religion and says this is about seven countries that are hot spot for terrorism and about protecting americans. we talked to a protester here and this is what she had to say. >> this is civil disobedience. this is where it starts. i want to be a part of that. i don't think the one protest will change the executive order but i think sustained continued protest and calling into senators and the representatives and speaking out and changing the minds of the people around you is going to change

>> this started in the last 15 minutes or so. you can see the area blocked off here. there are area for the protesters to show up. if it grits bigger or anything happens we will let you know. tim basher, abc7 news. michelle: thank you. maryland's attorney general wants to know how the federal government is implimenting the order in his state. the a.g. demanded to know the status of those with green cards. specifically, students, people with travel or work visas and those already in the refugee program. four states including virginia are challenging the president's order in court. still ahead for us at 6:00, a household name brings hundreds of jobs to this long vacant building in arlington but taxpayers are helped foot the bill. >> a smell in the air in d.c. has

this morning the car hit the lanham home for the fourth time. miller says each time speeding drivers come over a hill, lose control. and then they go over the curb. while no one has been hurt, miller says if prince george's county cracked down on speeders this would not keep happening. >> i'm going to buy me a big target to so these people will know where to hit the house. michelle: in addition to hitting the home four times one driver missed the house and slammed into miller's car instead. not much better. the county says they have not received a request for a traffic study on miller street. jonathan: developing now, maryland state police hope to have half of the ten helicopters ready to fly tomorrow because they all got grounded. the fleet grounded after a mechanic discovered a crack on the chopper's tail rotors. each helicopter undergoing a full inspection before they are allowed to fly. tonight three of the choppers were told are now back in service. m.s.p. is hoping to have two more airworthy by

it is also against the law. >> i know they are driving so that could be a public danger. >> you can get a dui driving while high but we talked to a man who acknowledges he enjoys smoking pot in a car. >> sometimes you smoke to chill out in the commute. stephen: since the city legalized smoking pot two years ago some say those smoking it got more brazen. >> i saw a guy in front of the giant walking with a blunt lit in his mouth. stephen: in d.c., pot smoking is legal for those over 21 only in a private residence. despite the complaints, everyone supported the law. >> i do support. legalizing it but the future of marijuana in d.c. could hinge on congress. some since are talking about taking a more

how the district represents itself. jonathan: walking through a few clouds of smoke can make you fail a drug test? that is a question. the answer is no. a report says it takes an hour in a poorly ventilated ram for second-hand marijuana to affect a drug test. michelle: arlington getting a sweet new addition that will bring hundreds of new jobs. nestlé will move the headquarters to california to one of the tallest buildings in arlington. that high-rise has been vacant since it opened in 2013. mcauliffe says the move will bring 750 jobs with it. they offered up $16 million in incentives. nestlé will make the cross country move later this year. that move from nestlé will come as we learn guinness plans to build a brewery near
