6:34 pm
high-level secretaries of state, heads of the cia, and so for the, saying that this executive order doesn't help national security, really hinders it.t. >> i think briefs like that are very helpful. h >> let me ask you one thingone about the immigration law as it stands, there are provisions in the law that doo give the president the power to decide if he wants to exclude certain, certain groups of people from certain countries. that is out there. t that seems to be something that the administration sayssays hey the president has the right to do this in the name of national security. so in your view, what's wrong with that mindset? >> well the problem is the wayhe he did it. it is true, the law says he can bar certain people or groups of people in the interest of national security, and many presidents have done that. usually for individuals or small groups that have been identified as being a problem. but the courts have said, that he has to exercise that power reasonably, and he shouldn'tan be abled to exercise it in the way that's
6:35 pm
unconstitutional, discriminating against people baseduncong a on religion, for e , one of the problems thatone of this executive orders not something our government can constitionally do. >> all right, thank you so so much for joining us, with the aclu, we appreciate it, art glur thank you.hank >> two brothers from yemen reunited with family at dullos airport today.. the aziz brothers, both green cards, on their way to flint michigan when the president's executive order took effect. e the brothers were placed on plane and sent to east -- ethiopia yo. the duo sued the president in federal court.l c the lawsuit called the president's travel ban unconstitutional. >> i can'tunco believe, i was nt sure to be coming back, like even everybody tell me about coming back, but i was like i may be not going to happen. >> what's it like to take one donald trump? you sued donald trump. >> justice, you know, so greato we can't do this in any other country. so it is great.
6:36 pm
>> yes.>> >> the family said the ordeal o cost the president has maintained it is all about keeping k america safe. but in the case, you know, talking two guys had greenreen cards, they were known to this countly before, been here before, were in the country. cou there you have it. that gray area, a lot of these cases are fueling into. >> so what happens now? as the president decides to ignore the judge's ruling in the immigration ban?an series every tweets over the weekends questioning the judge 's decision. dec it caused crit toix question whether the president actually respects the ruling and would stick to it. >> civil rights attorney, jazz jasmine, a lot of people areot saying o the president by taking on this judge, he calls him so-called judge, a judge who was appointed by george w. bush, confirm unanimously by una the senate, he is still a judge. but some of the constitutionall crisis that might be setting up here, the president going against the judiciary like this. >> right. term so-called judge is a
6:37 pm
aggregious way for the president of our nation to refer to any judge, need we remind mr. trump, our so-called president, who actually did not receive the popular vote.. >> but he still wants electoral. we got to keep that clear. he won the electoral vote. he is duly elected president of this country. >> but did he not win the popular vote. >> correct. >> so before he calls other leaders of our other branches of government so-called leaders, he need to checks himself. second of all, it is the judgege 's job to second guess the president. pre that's why we live in a constitutional democracy and not a dictatorship. they are another line of security for our people.e. their job to is to check the president and ensure whatever executive order that he is enacting comply with our constitution, with his constitutial authority.rity >> we just learned short time ago, tomorrow at 6:00 p.m. the appellate court will listen too both sides of this and make a mk decision, if they indeed side with washington
6:38 pm
president decides not to abide a by it, what will happen from there?e? >> if -- it is tough to say what the judge will do it fromo there. the judge could very well enter an order holding the president in coming contempt. but until we get the ruling from the appellate court, we won't know what the judge will do if trump disobeys the order >> jasmine, obviously, i think pretty clear, fallen on thishis side of the debate. d so what have you been seeingeing on your ends? have you and your capacity as c a lawyer beenap dealing with anh of these cases or have you been observing?ving what have you seen so far?ar? >> on my ends, i think it causes concern for everybody. i know recently, i set up roadblocks in miami certainly,tn our community here in miami,mi is concerned about protection. of people that we have hereere considering this national ban that trump put into effect. and civil rights attorneys, the aclu, all of these major organizations are extremelyly concerned about protecting our rights. and it is not just democrats
6:39 pm
it is republicans who are concerned. we have to remember, that the judge whober, issued this order, as you said earlier; a republican, appointed by former president bush. >> all right, it will be interesting toer p r watch andie whatnd happens.. civil rights attorney, thanksy, so much for joining us tonight >> thanks for having me. >> absolutely. all right tonight the chief of ynigh policery count right here has a blunt warningnt for local politicians to go slow before they started ahey don't g the monday curve being sanctuary city or sanctuary county.unty >> let's talk to tom fitzgerald live in montgomery county tonight with the latest what's going on there. tom? >> reporter: guys, all right, this involves, you know, we all know while these mayors m and cities around the country have been racing to declare themselves as sanctuary cities now, how this park here in montgomery county was that aa joint sent out by both the councils i counsel, now, what it did, was clear opposition to what the trumprump administration has been doing, especially, in regard to
6:40 pm
but it stopped short of declaring this county a sanctuary city. now, we talked to the president of the counts countyot council today. him this.ed given the language, very stern language in this letter about a the trump administration policy, was he concerned at all that it is going to be interpreted like that by this white house, and these rhett i cannily with the federalal funding if the white house decides that montgomery county is somehow sanctuary.. >> are you concerned about that? >> i am not concerned about that.concat. because the way we do our business, again, is that one no federal law could under the constitution require us to ask about immigration status, minor traffic infraction.ract and we don't.'t. but we don't withhold information. >> in fact that's how they, do not ask the immigration status of people stopped
6:41 pm
infractions. thee went to go see montgomery county police chiefpi , thomas major. now, remember, montgomeryomer county has not declared itself a sanctuary city or sanctuaryry county if you will.l. and the police chief hearsays that's a good thing. because politicians and lawmakers specially not onlyec in this county butiall throughot the state right now have to be very close attention to what the possible ramifications could be if they declare themselves as such. s this is what the police chief told us today when we asked him if any lawmakers in his opinion could be looking at this down the road. >> sir, ir ' -- i have elected officials in the state who sta want to say we are sanctuary jurisdiction, sanctuary state. well, we are not actually. in fact, if you look aroundroun the country, a lot of thef th mayors that are standing on their soap boxes saying we're sanctuary jurisdiction, in in fact, aren't really. >> also made it
6:42 pm
there is very little a whitehite house can do to affect the policing policies of an independent local jurisdiction but he also said that it would go a long way, sean, jim, to clearing all of this up. the administration would come out andd clearly spell out the justice department exactly what criteria they are gauging , what a sanctuary city is. right now, it is term getting thrown around loosely, but there really is no law attached to what it actually means.me so, whether or not somebody is declaring themselves or not, they still could run a foul ofof the trump white house if theyy enact policies that go counter c with what the president wants. >> are you getting a sense some of these count ills, are they taking the president's threats seriously, that theyou maysl actually lose funding if he goes through with the threat? >> well, i mean, you heard roger there a minute ago say no, and they're in compliance,ol they say, with federal law. you know when you hear peopleple say right
6:43 pm
compliance of federal law, there is a question exactly what does that mean? does it mean the executive order? a statute passed by congressgres signed into law by the president? the bottom line, you know, we asked the chief is there any difference between what you're doing right now than what you were doing four weeks ago under president obama, and chief major was very clear, helr said no, absolutely not.ot. because we are in compliance with the law, we have a policy here that works, and we intended to continue. >> all right, thank you very much, fits, we appreciate it. i >> all right, so here we are, 6:43, it is 67 degrees outside >> amazing, i like this. get used to this. >> sue palka, is this warm trends going to continue? >> couple of nights for sure, couple every days, too, sean, jim. won't be long before peoplee start saying they're seek croakuses in the yards, right? sixty-one today. sixty-three at dullos. that's more typical of where we in late march or early april. so truly spring preview. you know what? it is going to be even warmer tomorrow. we are thinking record breaking heat tomorrow. certainly r
