of homeland security. when president trump took office, the department stopped accepting asylum claims on cbp. one this week. the department of homeland security sent out an update changing the app to cbp home. the update doesn't give you the option to submit asylum claim, but it does give you the option to self deport you put in your name a photo, your date of birth and where your head it does preserve them an opportunity to be able to come back through the process and come into the united states. senior dhs and ice officials tell us since the inauguration agents have arrested more than 32,000 people. that's double the average under president biden. democratic congresswoman summer lee says she's against administration's immigration policy. cruelty is the point. and protecting people is simply not a priority for this administration. the department of homeland security says it doesn't know yet how many people have chosen to self deport in washington. i'm today simlot. >> still ahead, hundreds of students in the east bay are hoping to send a message today by walking out of class. there rallying t

there are many, many areas we need to stay very focused on, working with the department of homeland security, working with the f.b.i. to ensure we're keeping the american people safe. our counter terrorism center is working on making sure we have that single source for vetting so we can figure out who is in our country and identify those who pose a threat and get them removed. the president's designation of cartels as foreign organizations fall directly into this especially as we're seeing the tactics these cartels are using reflect some of the tactics we've seen used by islamist terrorists in countries that many of us have served in overseas. our mission is very clear, our objective is to keep the american people safe. i'm grateful to be a part of this team that president trump has assembled to accomplish that mission. thank you. vice president vance: before i take questions, let me say two final things. first of all, the reason why we've seen, as pete said, a 98% drop in crossings and it's gone to 30 crossings a day because president trump empowered and demanded that his whole government t

so primary funding sanctuary cities in area of public safety come from comes from the department of homeland securityand department of justice. if you stop it. oh, so that can't be done with executive order? sure can't. so why didn't trump do it originally? maybe he'll do it now. i hope so. yeah, i hope he does it. it's time. i think so. thank you. one more over here. because you have a book to get to as well. yeah hey, thank you for coming. two quick questions. putting federal troops the border instead of the texas national guard and seizing the cartels the way we did our ranch. yeah what's the flow? well, look, i think the money's always been in play. the question where and how does the money and are legitimate processes? right. in order to be there's a lot of money gets seized coming across the border for sure. it's so you know, so, i mean, you want to continue what i would say that that terror funding approach to go after the cartels and go after all of their money and what was the first part of the question what would. yeah look you can see that as you know well, let's say one thing first. the m

well, i think it's certainly going to create a chilling factor on people who work at the department of homeland securityhouldn't be surprising that the department doesn't want people leaking information about its immigration activities, its immigration raids. and, you know, but i talked to a source who who basically told me this weekend that they were going dark because of the polygraph test. so it's working at least at that level. there are certain agencies where it's not uncommon to polygraph to polygraph employees under certain circumstances. for example, the secret service has been known to do it. so it's not entirely new. at the same time, you. >> know, it. >> is it is something that is new for this administration, and it's something. that is sending a shock wave through the department of homeland security. >> yeah. and a chilling effect, as it's intended to do. plus, we know from the last administration there was a lot done to try to deter leakers. it was a regular gripe of the president in his first term. so now we're seeing it trickle out to the agencies themselves. i want to turn staying on the

what the department of homeland security has expressed is that they are following an executive order s anti-semitism. what secretary of state rubio has said is that this is one example of other people who could lose their visas and their green cards. what i have seen online even from those who had criticized his activities are expressions against the war, pro-palestinian protests, he's somebody who students told me today and faculty members was kind of a negotiator between students and leaving the protests and a faculty, i haven't seen anything indicating criminal activity which is the bar that needs to be sent to. >> john: that leads to my next question, if you have a green card what does the bar that allows the government to kick you out of the country? >> reporter: it's quite a high bar. i've consulted several immigration attorneys today. one told me i have never seen anything like this including after 9/11. under the patriot act. today a judge blocked the deportation to provide his legal team an opportunity to maintain the jurisdiction in new york to fight this case. somebody who

the department of homeland security has reportedly begun performing polygraph tests on employees. news it's part of an effort to determine who might be leaking information to the media about immigration operations. border czar tom homan and homeland secretary kristi noem have blamed lower than expected ice arrests on recent leaks. they say the so-called leakers have revealed the cities where they plan to conduct operations. noem posted about it on x yesterday. we have identified two leakers of information here at the department of homeland security who have been telling individuals about our operations and putting law enforcement lives in jeopardy. we plan to prosecute these two individuals and hold them accountable for what they've done. it's not clear if those employees were identified through a polygraph test. it's also not clear how many employees have been polygraphed or may have to take the test. we spoke with an expert who says using polygraphs at the department is not new. it's completely proper for them to use polygraph on the problem that's happening there. it's built in

security and civil immigration enforcement. i will be following up with the department of defense and the department of homeland security to get al information including related to the dod deportation fights and dhs use of naval station guantÁnamo bay had my question first general, as you have previously stated the successful execution of your mission as commander of both nor calm relies on cohesive strategies, integrated planning and collaboration across the whole of government. i completely agree with that. it also applies to executing south calm missions. my question for you, general, how do your commands collaborate with several intergovernmental agencies including the department of homeland security, and the infrastructure security agency and executing your missions and how do you coordinate with these agencies indeed conflict efforts for the homeland while certainly maintaining the launch framework >> the inner agencies critical to us. they are usually very high ranking. they work in our headquarters and participate in the updates. for the commands we meet regularly and talk regularly. it is widely shared between south, n

we are working through how our processes work with employees within the department of homeland securitymember is being very aggressive on this. in the department of homeland security this is a life or death thing they are doing by jeopardizing these operations out there on the ground. not just the ice individuals, we partner every day with other agencies, the fbi, department of justice, local law enforcement, state law enforcement, they are jeopardizing all those individuals when they go out there and compromise this information. >> will: really quickly, i know you don't want to share the names and he did want to share how used polygraphs to process -- is there anything you can share about commonalities between these leakers -- what drives them? are they ideologues do they believe in illegal immigration, why are they doing this? >> bureaucrats and they don't like integrity in our government system. they want to the status quo. they don't believe and support president trump and what he's doing to make america safe again. that's one of the reasons why what they are doing has so clouded th

the roundtable exposed that the department of homeland security and border patrol failed to take the dna of the individuals charged with a tragic murder of rachel loren, despite having three opportunities to take those fingerprints. had the biden-harris department of homeland security and border patrol done their job, there's a chance that this ms. loren would be alive today. this executive action couldn't come soon enough, and so that's why i'm pleading with president trump or his staff to follow up and make sure that justice is brought to these three whistleblowers. and then, the president is going to see that the law's enforced and so i don't have any doubt about the president seeing the -- this law is carried out in the future because full compliance with the law will make our border stronger and our citizens safer. i yield the floor and suggest the absence of a quorum. the presiding officer: the clerk will call the roll. quorum call: the clerk: ms. alsobrooks. in an unofficial capacity. he is in the building. together with secretary bessent he's got his hand on economic levers. s

according to the department of homeland security, at least 55,000 people were deported in the first fivep administration. by comparison, an average of 57,000 were deported every month during the last full year of the biden administration. we asked department of homeland security spokesperson trisha mclaughlin about it. president trump promised during the campaign that millions would be deported. when you divide that, it should come down to 300,000 or more should be being deported. 55,000 is a lot less. >> i don't think that the first month is going to be the status quo. >> reporter: in the first week of the administration, we saw these massive raids. we saw secretary noem out there. there was this massive show of force. have the raids been reduced? >> the i.c.e. raids they're often called, they're very tactical and very targeted. that's why we say it's the worse of the worst. we follow where these individuals are, the low-hanging fruit, so to speak. i think they're going evolve. >> reporter: once you get past the people who have a criminal record, what options do undocumented people have

and the department of homeland security is now spending your tax dollars to air those ads thanking donald trump. the ads are running in west palm beach while donald trump is weekending in west palm beach ads just telling him he's great and reminding him who the homeland security secretary is, who thinks he's so great. they're doing that with $30,000 in tax funds. but sure, the guy who keeps the thrips in psyllids off the orange trees in florida, no, trump fired him because we can't afford him. can't afford that. so again, our attention spans are finite. we all only have so much bandwidth. time is finite. but i will do everything i can to bring you all the news i can, especially if i think it's stuff that you might not be running into other places. people all over this country are pushing back against what trump is doing. people are pushing back in numbers, big and small, in some big national organizing efforts like we saw today in little local uproars like we saw today in town halls. whether or not they can shame that republican congressman into actually turning up, i absolutely believe t

we have identified two leakers of information here at the department of homeland security who have beent our operations and putting law enforcement lives in jeopardy. we plan to prosecute these two individuals and hold them accountable for what they have done. we're going to continue to do all that we can to keep america safe. >> in a dhs spokesperson sent us the following statement on record that says we're preparing to refer these perpetrators to the doj for felony prosecutions. these individuals face up to ten years in federal prison. we will fine and root out all leakers. they will face prison time and we will get justice for the american people. now, to that point, we do want to point out that this is just a referral. it's ultimately going to be up to the department of justice on whether or not they want to move forward with prosecutions of these alleged leakers. you have to keep in mind these individuals will also have due process and have to be either found guilty or put in a guilty plea if we want to talk about any sort of prison time. this is very significant. you're looking at

and as you said, the department of homeland security saying that khalil had been associated with pro-hamasivities. now, according to one of our sources, who we have been talking to in this after this arrest, we are being told that it is possible that the administration is using a provision of the immigration law that gives it broad authority on who can be subject to deportation. that's according to a homeland security official. and now it should be said, just because you are a green card holder does not mean that you cannot be arrested. you certainly can be, and you can be subject to deportation. the question here is what is this activist being charged with? and is he going to see any sort of due process? is he going to go before a judge in order to argue his case? that part is still not yet clear, but we are following up on it, and we are going to bring you the latest on the case, brianna. >> and just to be clear, where is he or do we know where he is? >> so he was initially taken to a detention facility in elizabeth, new jersey. but then when his wife went there to visit him, she was tol

there are many areas we have to say very focused on, working with the department of homeland securityake sure we're keeping the american people safe. i would counterterrorism center is working to make sure we have that single source for vetting so we can figure out who is in our country and identify those who pose a threat and get them removed. the president's designation of the cartels as a terrorist organization, especially as we see the tactics these cartels are using, reflects the tactics we have seen used by islamist terrorists and countries many of us have served in overseas. our mission is clear, our objective is to make keep the american people safe. i'm grateful to be a part of this team that was assembled to accomplish this mission. thank you. >> it before i take question, two final things, the reason we have seen 98% reduction in border crossings, the reason why this side went from over 1500 crossings per day now 30 crossings per day, is because president trump he empowered and in fact demanded his whole government take the task of border control seriously. that is exactly
