you can see a blockade from cbp. cbp tells fox news is the reason they had to do that, a large group of individuals formed on the mexican side and approached the international boundary. the cbp response included the deployment of physical barriers to restrict entree. cbp says that happened at two other bridges yesterday that they temporarily had to shut down. the migrants tell us some of them lad been waiting in mexico for two months. they felt desperate. when the rumor circulated, they felt it was their chance and wanted to capitol idea on it. >> martha: a volatile situation, bill. with that, we bring in lieutenant chris olivarez from the texas department of public safety. thanks very much. good to have you here. so is this -- does this disturb you? is this a sign of things to come? this was happening at three different bridges. how do you interpret this. >> it is shocking. we have to acknowledge the fact that we had just an increased presence of law enforcement, customs and border protection, the mexican military w

you will see some of the migrants going face-to-face with cbp officers.migrants involved we're told the catalyst was a lot of migrant frustration with the cbp1 app and a false rumor on facebook telling migrants they would be allowed into the united states if they showed up at the bridge yesterday. that obviously was not true. take a look at this second piece of video here. not every day you see this at a port of entry showing the law enforcement response on both sides of the border. you will see essentially two lines of mexican military patrolling the bridge on the mexican side of the border and the america will pan to the u.s. side and see the u.s. response. a serious one. barricades, barbed wire and dozens of cbp officers set up in a squirmish line to block entry to the united states. cbp saying a large group of individuals formed on the mexican side of the border and approached the international boundary posing a potential threat to make a mass entry. the cbp response included the deployment of physical barriers to restrict entry. back out here live we

officers -- cbp officers, and support personnel at ports of entry. another 70 million to strengthen non intrusive inspections systems that scan because and cargo to disrupt the flow of drugs including fentanyl. that at the ports of entry. not one of my republican colleagues voted for that legislation. in june of 2020, congress passed the infrastructure bill, which included $430 million to modernize our ports of entry and improve cbp's ability to detect illicit drugs. 200 house republicans voted against it. we put that money in because we know that over 90% of fentanyl is seized at ports of entry. now, i understand that the issues that we are talking about today require my republican colleagues to tell a lot of statements that aren't true, to use nativist rhetoric, words like invasion and flooding, that have actually been used throughout the history of this country to demonize immigrants into this country, different waves of immigrants that have come into this country, but that is not the way that we are going to solve this problem. judge samaniego, i

cbp sources saying many migrants took a freight train to mexico and entered into el paso on foot. the border patrol chief of the el paso sector tweeted this. the more than 1,000 migrants mostly from venezuela surrendered to these agents after making an illegal entry into the u.s. sharing these photos and another warning the border patrol will expel migrants under title 42. that places migrants under title eight removal proceedings hasn't changed. >> we're operating under the cdc title 42 authority. those migrants not amenable to title 42 and those with no legal basis to renan in the united states legally will be placed into removal proceedings. >> two weeks ago 1,000 migrants rushed the bridge near el paso, texas trying to get into the u.s. but stopped by u.s. and mexican authorities. back live i want to take a look at another issue that happened near the el paso sector. you can see in the video that was the rush on the bridge as well. you can see also on the side o me here, this is the area where the massive fire tore through the migrant facility that killed nearly 40 migrants on

it's a challenge for border patrol and cbp to do their job to secure the southern border. it is not secure. my attitude is to listen to the professionals and border patrol, guys on the ground who deal with this every single day. >> real tragedy in west texas, a grandmother and her grand daughter were both killed after a human smuggler crashed into their car in the small town of ozona. the driver of this silver truck was fleeing police while smuggling 11 illegal immigrants. he sped through a red light and crashed into this red light killing the grandmother and her granddaughter. the smuggler was a u.s. citizen from louisiana, had a loaded gun and he is still hospitalized. the death of that grandmother and granddaughter, such a tragedy. back to you. >> todd: the picture hit us so hard, such a tragedy and so senseless, a family ruined unnecessarily. head of central command telling senate armed services committee, major isis groups could potentially attack the u.s. or europe in the next six months. michael corilla said the attack will be hard to accomplish if isis follows thro

cbp says the application is working as intended and the criticism that it does not recognize darker faces is unfounded. a spokesperson telling me that they have processed 40,000 appointments from over 85 countries since january, the top three are haitian, venezuelan and russian. the issue is how the photos are taken, not ethnicity. saying it is bad lighting or the framing of the photo. the huge demand means the apartment are being taken in a matter of minutes. cnn. >>> russian forces fall into a trap set by ukrainian snipers. how ukraine says it lord the invaders into making a deadly mistake. >>> protests are not stopping the senate on reform. stay with us. my activive psoriatic arthritis can slow me down. now, skykyrizi helps me get going by treating my skin and joints. along th significantly clearer skin, skyrizi helps me move with less joint pain, stiffness, swelli, and fatigue. and skyrizi is just 4 doses a ar after two starter doses. skyrizi attaches to and reduces a source of excess inflammation that can lead to skin and joint symptoms. with skyrizi, 90% clearer skin and less joint

it is real challenge for border patrol and cbp to do our job to secure the southern border. the professionals, listen to border patrol agents, guys who deal with this every single day. >> ashley: since october 1, 900,000 have been apprehended at the border. 385,000 known gotaways. all that chaos is happening at the border, border agents are begging dhs secretary mayorkas to show up and do something. instead he just attended a fancy dinner party with msnbc host celebrating jen psaki's new show. >> todd: joe concha joins us now, how bad does this look that mayorkas was hob-knobbing with msnbc after his border patrol chief testified on capitol hill at the border on capitol hill that the federal government does not have operational control of the border. >> joe: it looks elite, out of touch, apathetic toward what is a crisis to many democrats saying those who have lawmaking ability in arizona and texas are saying it is catastrophe and crisis. what we got was preview of what jen psaki's new show will look like. and if she were to have secretary mayorkas on her show, why do we get

cbp reported 2.3 million migrant encounters in 2022. 2023 is on track to top those numbers, guys. >>is quite a number, jackie, thank you very much. let's talk about what the cartels are doing here. what they are doing is basically creating a problem or exacerbating a problem, creating a lie and having all of these migrants flood to one location to continue illegality in other parts. but the bigger issue is why have the democrats consistently throughout the course of the last years and even into this hearing not done anything about it? republicans are giving a golden opportunity to go to the border and see what is happening. it yet, the democrats are boycotting. >> ashley: throw the wall up and say, we are not going to have a conversation. this is not yet because the cartels have control of the narrative and basically in control of them right now in mexico and it seems like the u.s. because of what we see unfold in front of our very eyes. the biden administration needs to step in and do something to step in, say something. it goes back to the u.s. military topic. >> todd: i'm listenin
