attorney, the department of justice the department of homeland security other local levels of government everyone realizes there are flaws in uac 's and other programs we need to fix it we want to fix it we're up against opposition and obstructionism in congress but we have to fight through it and we just need to shame these democrats, if they're not willing to do the right thing on their own. trish: let me get to another hot topic and that's whether there's a special special counsel to look into what may have happened with the fbi how on earth that fisa warrant was issued based on a dossier that nobody bothered to even check and see who had financed it. you're calling for a second special counsel. i actually a plowed that because as a journalist i want answers. as an american i want answers and i think the world deserves answers the united states of america everybody who votes deserves an answer are you going to get it? >> we have gotten a lot of transparency. what they see in this house resolution 907 calling for a second special counsel 25 original co-sponsors it details a lot of fact

department of justice. we're making progress with the department of homeland security and other federal partners as well as state and local law enforcement. the word we're getting around the country is state and local law enforcement appreciate the partnership. it's an unprecedented level of cooperation around the country. john mentioned some of the recent case this the horrific cases we've handled in the department of swrussties. say -- i saw this firsthand when i was u.s. attorney in maryland in 2005. we began using federal racketeering statutes to try to dismant they will ms-13 gang and had success for a few years. but we found recently a resurgence and it was fwiled illegal immigration and particularly by the challenge of unaccompanied minor children. and there are several loopholes in federal law that facile tit this, that create a particular problem for homeland security and for us with regard to unaccompanied children who enter the united states illegally. the first is that they are not eligible for expedited removal which means that most aliens who enter the united states if they're caught within 1

of border security will happen? guest: the hearing is supposed president'sthe budget request, $1.6 billion for a border wall and $80 million over a longer time to build the border wall. the justice department, homeland security department, announced they wanted to refer 100% of people crossing the border illegally for persecution. it means families could be separated when they are crossing the border. that is also a topic she will face at the hearing today. host: overall strategy, is it still based on the wall, or are there other aspects homeland security could use? guest: they still think, the administration, thinks the wall is a central component of their border strategy. they are trying whatever they can do to bring arrests down, to bring crossings down. this policy, referring everyone for persecution at the border, is meant to be used as a deterrent to keep people from crossing. they are encouraging people, for example, who might want to request asylum to not try to cross the border illegally and go to a port of entry, which is committing a crime, and request asylum when they get there. -- : guest: she at least has some time in this position. come out withrump cabinet secretaries, and there may

in accordance with the department of justice your lerance policy, department of homeland security secretary nielsen has directed two referral border crossers from criminal prosecution. the one forced immigration laws set forth, no classes or categories are exempt from enforcement. a number of individuals apprehended while trying to enter the country illegally in between those presenting themselves without entry documentation along the southern border increase by 40% from february to march 2018 and march 2017 the increase of extraordinary 203%. the effort in ours used to detain, process, care for, hold family units distracts rmon enforcement officer and shrinks or capability to control the border and make the arrest of smugglers and drug traffickers much more difficult. to enhance the capability and southwest border set are of department of defense in conjunction with order state governors has the national guard to assist in stopping the flow of deadly drugs, other contraband, gang members, criminals and illegal aliens into the country. initial forces are already on the ground assisting cbp.

that's why the department of homeland security is now referring 100% of illegal southwest border crossings to the department of justice for prosecution. the department of justice will take up these cases. i have put in place a zero tolerance policy for illegal entry on our southwest border. if you cross the border unlawfully, then we will prosecute you. it's that simple. if you smuggle illegal aliens across our border, we will prosecute you. if you're smuggling a child, we will prosecute you. that child may be separated from you as required by law. if you make false statements to an immigration officer or file a fraud lend asylum claim, that is a felony. if you help others do so, that's a felony also. you're going to the jail. so if you're going to come to this country, come here legally, don't come here illegally. in order to carry out these important policies, i have sent 35 prosecutors to the southwest border and moved 18 judges to the border. these are supervisory immigration judges that don't have existing case loads and will be able to function full time on moving these cases. that will be about a 50% increase i

department of justice. we're making tremendous progress, working in coordination with homeland security and federal partners as well as state and local law enforcement of the feedback we're getting as tom mentioned around the country, state and local law enforcement appreciate the partnership. unprecedented level of coordination between federal law enforcement around the country particularly on violent crime and ms-13. john mentioned recent cases horrific cases we handled in the department of justice. i saw this in maryland in 2005. we began to use federal raketeering statutes to dismantle the ms-13 gang. we had trump does success for quite a few years. we found resurgence of ms-13 in d.c. and maryland area, fueled by illegal immigration and challenge of unaccompanied minor children. there are several loopholes in federal law that facilitate this, that create a particular problem for homeland security and for us with regard to unaccompanied children who enter the united states illegally. first is, they are not eligible for expedited removal which means that, most aliens who enter the united states, if they'

investigate essentially any number of the president's political enemies, from leaders in the justice department to hillary clinton. the republican chairman of the senate homeland security committee, ron johnson, is trying to dig up more dirt about the fbi's handling of the steele dossier. now, this all follows the president's recent move ordering the justice department to investigate parts of the russia investigation that, of course, is looking into him. the president has seized on reports that the fbi used an informant to make contact with members of his campaign, and he's hyping that revelation with what you might call trumpian levels of hyperbole. >> congress would like to see documents opened up. a lot of people are saying they had spies in my campaign. if they had spies many y ies in campaign, that would be a disgrace to this country. that would be one of the biggest insults that anybody's ever seen. that would be very illegal, aside from everything else. it would make every political event ever make look like small potatoes. >> we're scratching our head on the biggest insult comment. everything else sort of made sense there in trumperbole. but there was no eviden

of the children are being treated very badly, abused. is the administration comfortable with what the departmentf homeland security, the department of justice are doing and how they address, how ey treat these families? >> we believe that secretary nielsen and the attorneyeneral are doing a great job on helping us secure the border with the limitations they have on them. in many cases the separation of the child and the parents is something that's produced because the loses are so bad they tie the hands of the secretary of homeland security. when you have catch and release that force you, when someo comes in our country and is apprehended, you release them with the sufferings th show up for a court date at a later time. the laws are ridiculous. you've heard the president make a case for them. if you're coming from mexic or el salvador, there are different rules on asylum. we need to fix the rules. >> woodruff: people say this is unconscionable the way the children are treated. >> in many cases thesei stores are investigated and i think so what secretary nielsen and h.h.s. has a role in making sure they're provided with the right protection

in addition, to combat the abuse of asylum laws, both the department of homeland security and the department of justice should send asylum officers directly to the border for a rocket docket to immediately hold a rapid-fire field hearing and conclude that folks trying to abuse the asylum laws are, in fact, ineligible and then allowing them to be placed in expedited deportation. what is more, both article 2 of the constitution and the delegated authority given to the president by the congress too keep anyone who is not already entered and even override refugee and asylum policies when he determines it is against our interest, it is in the law now. when you have criminals, gangsters, drug crisis and the political nature of the mass illegal immigration, this clearly fits that description. finally, congress as part of any effort to tighten immigration statutes must limit at least the power of the lower courts to block expedited deportation or denial of entry except when there is a prima facie case of a plaintiff being a u.s. citizen. we have a lot of work yet to do and i'm glad to introduce our distinguish
