abby, thanks so much. you remember when we are talking about restaurants and people getting kicked out, there are still 2,000 children who are separated from their parents by the u.s. government scattered around the country. we have had little visibility of what conditions they're living in. some lawmakers have been allowed into a few of these places. you heard elizabeth warren describe what she saw. we go out to polo sandoval. what have you learned? >> reporter: many of those reunifications happening at this remote cameron county facility in portis bell. port isabel. let's dive into some of the other numbers. there is more to be done. 2,037 are still in the care of hhs at this hour. an important distinction to point out, only 17% of those have been recently separated from their parents because of the enforcement of zero tolerance policy. 83% are undocumented minors that have come across the border by themselves. it is very important to keep that in mind. that is an issue we have been covering for years. w

. >> our white house correspondent abby phillip is joining us right now. so what's behind the president's sudden reversal after days and days of saying only congress could take action? he couldn't sign an executive action to keep families together as they come into the united states. what role did the first lady play? what are you hearing behind the scenes? >> reporter: that's right, wolf. the president is now soon to do something that he said just days ago he could not do. he's essentially reversing himself on this issue, saying that he's going to keep families together 234 some form, and not separate them at the border, as his administration has done with some 2,000 children. but the president is doing it in part, a and he acknowledged this today, because those images that we've been seeing all week, children kept in what amounts to cages, in these facilities, and tent cities down at the border, wailing children on audiotapes, those images and sounds have become a huge political problem, not just for the white house, but also for the president. our sourc

among the reporters there was abby phillip. abby, a major retreat from the president. >> reporter: the president kept talking about democrats, but also acknowledged that the images were having an effect. he talked about the dilemma he faced, that's his word, saying that he could either be tough and look like he had no heart, or he could be weak and look like he had compassion for these families. but he did confirm that he's going to be signing some kind of executive order that would keep families together. the implication in the room was that this would mean the families would be held in some kind of form of detention near the border, while their immigration status is being adjudicated. but we don't have any details. the president made it clear that he's still waiting for congress to act on this, and he also had a lot to say about past administrations. he said he felt like there was a double standard being applied to him, that in the past administrations -- >> abby, i need to interrupt you. let's listen to the president of the

let's begin with abby phillip live at the white house. what's the latest there, abby? >> reporter: good morning, alisyn. there is growing outrage about the president's policy of zero tolerance at the border that has caused 2,000 immigrant children to be separated from their families. this is one that senior white house administration figures have touted the last several weeks. the president is blaming democrats. but that is not going over well with everyone, including former first lady laura bush who issued an op ed over the weekend comparing it to japanese internment camp. bush wrote i live at a border state. i appreciate protecting our international boundaries but this breaks my heart. and melania trump supporting families even while her husband's administration is pursuing this policy. melania trump issued an extraordinary statement of her own, in some ways distancing herself from the policy but in other ways echoing her husband's language about it. the statement wrote mrs. trump hates to see children separated from their family and hopes both sides of the awful can

abbie. >> yeah. i would say, a, in the spirit of prevention, dental care and oral health is key to managing manys. this is a terrific benefit in that regard. we have met with delta to look at data on what they have available to work together to do tracking around these particular conditions and how this impacts or prevents these conditions from occurring. and the one thing that i did want to point out in the presentation that i think accentuates the urgency around delivering the message that this benefit is available is the large number of members not using any delta benefit. and that is of great concern. so, yes, it will be part of our outreach and open enrollment because oral health is key to a lot of other health problems. >> president scott: thank you. any other comments? if not, we are ready to vote on the recommendation as presented on page three of this presentation. all those in favor signify by saying aye. [ayes]. >> president scott: next item. [reading item #5] aon. >> mike clark. juan and

abby phillips is outside the white house with more. and we know the president has this relatively short list of about 20 justices he's choosing from, but still, ten days is fast. >> reporter: it really is, poppy, but it just goes to show the sense of urgency this white house has about making this decision, in part because they do want to force the hand of the senate to get this done along with a slew of other priorities before the fall, when the supreme court goes back into session. but you're right that this list that they're starting from, a list of 25 potential justices, makes it much easier. and even within that list, the short list is even shorter than that. and already, the president has started to talk to lawmakers about this issue. he held some meeting with some critically important red state democrats last night here at the white house and made some phone calls to other republicans who will be a part of this process. but the template for this process for the justices is going to be modeled very much after what they did with ne

abby, good morning. >> good morning, erica. president trump is attempting to capitalize on some of the vitriol that's been directed at his own administration officials in the last several days, but he's doing it while also not holding back on his own insults. meanwhile, democrats are trying to figure out how exactly to respond to president trump as we head into these midterm elections. >> it's the party of maxine waters, do you believe her. >> reporter: president trump ramping up his feud with veteran democratic congresswoman maxine wat waters, just hours after press secretary sarah huckabee sanders called for political civility after being ousted from a virginia restaurant. >> i was asked to leave because i work for president trump. healthy debate on ideas and political philosophy is important, but the calls for harassment and push for any trump supporter to avoid the public is unacceptable. >> reporter: sanders is the latest in a string of trump backers who have been publicly rebuked for their support of the administration. >

abby, thank you very much from the white house. now to the effort being made to keep detained families together and not separate them from their parents. right now a federal judge is weighing it. laura, what exactly is the judge deciding at this point? >> the justice department is really facing an uphill battle right now trying to convince a federal judge in california to modify a decades-old settlement agreement to allow them to detain children longer than 20 days with their parents. but the obama administration tried this and was slapped down by the same judge, so we wait to see what she will do on that front. in the meantime, an interesting shift in at least the tone from attorney general jeff sessions. take a listen to how he described the situation just yesterday versus several weeks ago. >> it hasn't been good, and the american people don't like the idea that we're separating families. we never really intended to do that. >> if you're smuggling a child, then we're going to prosecute you. and that child will be separated from

abby philip at the white house. abby, you're at the white house. were you the reporter that was trying to ask the question to the president that he dismissed? >> it was actually the reporter standing right next to me. >> okay. >> but there was a massive and really loud scrum. at multiple points the president tried to shush various reporters who were repeatedly asking him particularly about this issue of human rights in north korea. i asked him about that as well ad his answer was very similar to what he's repeated all this morning, which is that he believes that whatever he has said and done with regard to kim was worth it because he believes it has stopped nuclear weapons from coming to destroy americans. he pointed at me and another reporter saying coming toward you. the president was really this morning adamant that on multiple fronts, not only was he exonerated by the i.g. report, his summit with kim was an unequivocal success and that he basically is presiding over what he believes is the best time for this country and that his critics are att
