is so surprising about the aftermath of west, texas, when i heard about how much the department of homeland security is supposed to be looking after this. there's not an institutional memory inside the department of homeland security doing this type of thing. you would expect the epa an important bureaucracy to have the capacity to do. >> not only bureaucracy but they have environmental science and engineers the most of any agency except for nasa. there's lots of talent there. i want to be really clear. christie whitman, when she was administrator worked with her counterpart in the cabinet, tom ridge. there was no problem working with the department of homeland security and secretary janet napolitano. we need to use the authority we have now because i'm afraid just like gun control, there's a lot of nodding and gnashing of teeth and no one will change anything. although this appears to have been a tragic industrial accident, what if it wasn't? what about the plants out there so susceptible to terrorism that would be very similar to this? >> that, i think, is a really important point, like in the aft

the department of homeland security, what this bill does, add a privacy officer and officer of civil rights and civil liberties of the department of homeland security to the list of entities responsible for producing an annual report assessing the privacy and civil liberties' impact of activities conducted by the federal government under this bill. because the bill requires the senior privacy and civil liberties officer of each department or agency receiving information to participate in the report. i will not oppose this effort to specifically include these officials from the department of homeland security. again, i think this is again making more clarification, making our privacy and civil liberties' protection that more robust in the bill and i want to thank the gentlelady for her efforts. with that, mr. chairman, i'd reserve the balance of my time. the chair: the gentleman reserves the balance of his time. the gentlelady from california is recognized. ms. sanchez: thank you, mr. chairman. i thank the kind chairman for his remarks and his support. i ask unanimous consent that the

obviously it sounds as if secretary napolitano is saying his travel was known inside the department of homeland security, which is leading senator grassley and other senators of capitol hill to ask the question, did the right hand know what the left hand was doing if department of homeland security system pinged when he went overseas to russia, why is it that the fbi was not paid aware of this? why is it that the fbi system did not ping when he made that trip over to russia. a lot of questions. there's a senate intelligence committee hearing coming up at 2:30 and then the full house of representatives is expected to get a briefing from fbi officials on all of this later on this afternoon. we'll be covering all of it for you, chris. >> all right, jim, thank you very much. we'll be back to you as you develop more on that. a ping, means an alert to the system. spelling error in some ways would have been the best explanation of this. it could get much more troubling than that. let's bring in law enforcement analyst former fbi assistant director tom fuentes. what isn't important. what when hear this, this is

while the world was watching the rise of occupy wall street the department of homeland security was keeping an even closer eye coming up we'll tell you about the secret surveillance from a peaceful protest when obama won that nobel peace prize who has a lot of controversy on what exists whether he exactly deserves it or not now there's a growing petition that would provoke that award that story straight ahead. and a tale of two worlds the streets of the homeless in poverty will on the other side the lavish lifestyle of the rich are to explore how the rich have gotten wealthier while millions of others have gotten poorer. well it's wednesday april third eight pm in washington d.c. i'm margaret held in there watching our t.v. . well r.t. has reported in the past the department of homeland security is conducting surveillance on peaceful protest groups like occupy wall street the advocacy group partnership for civil for the civil justice fund release new documents that show the surveillance here's a snippet from the fall of two thousand and eleven good morning please send me an update on the oc

but the he department of homeland security had a report of possibly right wing extremism. there was a lot of heat taken by the obama administration on that. the person running that part of the program was a republican, and later said he was irate over what had happened because his staff was cut down to one person. whereas the department of homeland security there are 25 people checking for muslim terrorism in the country. if it turns out to be right-wing terrorism, and we only have one person in the country looking out for it in the department of homeland security, is that a significant problem? >> it is a problem. it shows a deficit of intelligence with homeland security on domestic issues. the unfortunate fact of the matter is it's much easier to get people riled up about a terrorist attack from foreigners than it is for us as americans to face the very real problem of violence and domestic terrorism that we have here. again, that's not--we still--we don't know what this is, yet. i think the important thing is that whoever is responsible that we find out who it was, and

so just who isn't the department of homeland security spying on these days well the h.s. is saying that it has every right to keep track of peaceful demonstrators like those involved in the occupy wall street movement but critics say it's an abuse of their power the whole purpose of the creation of the h.s. was to consolidate different government departments to fight terrorism in response to the nine eleven terrorist attacks well according to the documents it turns out d.h.s.s. been spying on peaceful law abiding citizens since two thousand and six and they say it's perfectly legal to discuss this with me and more i'm joined by journalist and radio dispatch co-host john he joins me now hello john. as you go in there so john you were at the occupy protests did you get a sense of anybody surveilling your activity there well you would see. and hear in there especially at the larger actions like at the no nato protest and there was certainly a general awareness of the potential it's not high likelihood of surveillance which is in many ways just as effective as actual surveill

has a huge array of security apparatus in place that we built since 9/11. the department of homelandurity was created and they have all these intelligence fusion centers, including massachusetts. we have the joint terrorism task force. in an odds, ironic way, you couldn't have had a better environment for a criminal investigation than yesterday. i mean, you had so much security on site, including the national guard, the joint terrorism tank force is on high alert for big events like this. i think they're going to crack this case pretty fast. >> you feel very comfortable that very soon we should have some information on who was behind this attack? >> i do. because it looks like an amateur job for one from what we know. >> it does? >> the early analysis of the bombs. these are not plastique explosives favored by professional terrorist groups you might say. also, you know, many of the things that civil libertarians complain about, the intrusive surveillance and monitoring of e-mail and phone traffic and so on, these are all in place. these are going to work much to the government's adva

when he leaves to go to russia and dagestan, the department of homeland security picks up his leavingnd returning, but they don't share it with the fbi and the ci a. that's a system failure. and after he comes back in 2012 he goes on youtube and the internet declaring his hatred for our country threatening to kill us all and the rest is history. so, yeah, i think the system did fail. >> what do you say -- i mean do you feel you know all there is to know at this point about any failure? >> no, i don't. i know this. i know that when he goes to russia and the department of homeland security picks up him leaving and the fbi and cia are not informed 11 years after 9/11, that's a mistake, that's a big mistake. and when he comes back from dagestan and he goes on the internet, youtube and other public outlets and starts talking in a radical fashion and we can't pick that up in light of all the warnings we've had, i know that's failure. and i think there's just -- bin laden may be dead, anderson, and i'm glad he is, but radical islam is not. and in our own backyard the threat is growing. and i

homeland security department was created quickly in 2003 and 2004. the key thing is we're in a bit of a fog right now. hard to know what solutions are in part because you can see congressman king himself who is being briefed all the time doesn't know exactly what happened and how many times the fbi was briefed, how many times the fbi investigated the older brother. we don't know a lot right now. until then we don't know what the solutions are and what congress can do. we're a few steps away from that soon. >> if you're a member of congress, you have a lot of constituents who are very nervous. i think personally in part because when you look at dzhokhar, he looks like the kid next door. you see him in the picture going to the prom and everybody describes him as just being this great guy. and it also comes at a time when there are a lot of other issues. immigration, gun control. budget. sequester. tax reform. everyone is talking about my flight getting delayed. does this overshadow that? does it make it harder for other stuff to get taken care of? >> o

militancy the way to combat it is through other measures and this idea of this ridiculous homeland security department coordinating homeland security this will never stop attacks like this the way to stop attacks like this is something entirely different if it is a political act this boston marathon bombing they're going to start looking at foreign policy and if indeed they were brought up or these their families were brought up in the cauldrons of political strife in the north caucasus during the late one nine hundred ninety s. . america better start talking to russia or about anti terror terror ideas you know i mean united states it's that entire media of islamophobia these things will catalyze it and no man security to go up and. much of a call is an expert on russia is joining us now from london martin good evening to you why is the u.s. so ready to give us a lot of people with criminal backgrounds so why is the u.s. yet what i thought got to be got a bit of a problem but you can hear me martin and the question is why is the u.s. so ready to give asylum to people with criminal background. well the

it's not like you need to send a communication formally from the fbi to the department of homeland security or from the fbi to the state department. the representatives are sitting right there, and seeing the same information and have access to the same database. so that part of discussions in recent times is just not accurate that information is stove piped. yes, there are different databases but they have different purposes. and so the key linkup is the terror screening center, the tide database we heard of, which only has 500,000 names on it, to keep track of. that's why you have all of these different issues. >> tom, what interests you most in the last 24 hours that you've heard? >> i think i still want to know, what happened in russia. if allegedly russia is sending communications to both fbi and cia and saying, we have information that this guy intends to come to russia and meet with militants here, well, those militants are under 24/7 coverage in russia, as evidenced by the fact that abu dujan, he's killed by the russians in a major firefight this past december. so obviously, my expe

member of the house committee on homeland security released a statement saying, quote, it seems this manufacturer was willfully off the grid. yet we understand the department of homeland security did not even know the plant existed until it blew up. i strongly believe if the proper safeguards were in place, the loss of life and destruction could have been far less extensive. while many of the initial mist relatives boston quickly appeared to come into focus, in texas, we're left mostly with unanswered questions. first and foremost, what caused the catastrophic explosion at the plant? what responsibility does donald adair, owner of the west fertilizer corporation have for the death, injuries, and mayhem that ensued? what regulations were in effect that were not applied? and what regulations do we need in the future to prevent something like this from happening again? and which federal agencies are best equipped to inspect and supervisor plants like this. the department of homeland security didn't know about west fertilizer plant. what other plants does it not know about? all of these questions demand an answer. and through this week on "all in," we're going

the border security results act would help mitigate this problem by requiring the department of homeland security to device a plan to reduce the wait times by at least 50%. i might add, when you think about security and the economy, these go hand in glove because the very same people who are working to provide security from illegal entry are the very same ones often fast i will -- facilitating legitimate trade and commerce. by reducing wait times at the u.s.-mexican border, we would facilitate greater bilateral trade and faster job creation on both sides of the rio grande river, and that's just one additional reason why the border security results act deserves to become law as soon as possible. again, on this point, madam president, i would say this is entirely complimentary of the work and negotiations that are taking place now here in the senate among the gang of eight who any day now will report to us their framework on how they think we ought to move forward on the immigration issue, but until we regain the public's confidence that the federal government is doing its job, both in ter

the department of homeland security secretary napolitano testified that a flag did go up on their datae which is a different data base. you basically have the department of homeland security with the information he's traveling to the chechen region and the fbi not knowing about that and the question is was that shared with the fbi within the joint terrorism task force? that's a very, very important question because as you point out, connecting the dots after 9/11 is what it is really supposed to be about and we thought we had fixed this. >> now one of the things that's been questioned is whether or not there should have been a request to be able to spy on him because there is a reason to believe that he is acting as an agent of a foreign country or foreign power or terrorist group. do you, congressman, know of any reas reason, substantive, why he should have been not just in 20/20 hindsight but at the time why there should have been a warrant granted to surveil tamerlan tsarnaev? >> no. remember the fbi closer investigation finding no derogatory information. i was a federal prosecutor

group that is being expanded right now with ceos and cios and others to work with the department of homeland security and department of energy to make sure that we get realtime information that greg emphasized, actionable intelligence that we need, that we have the best technologies on the system with respect to prevention technologies and also detection technologies. detection technologies are key so that the industry can inform the government and vice versa, and that information sharing scenario so that we can actually move forward to address threats that may come from terrorist groups or from national groups overseas that may want to harm us. we probably aren't worried as much about a denial of service which is what the banks are experiencing or the exfiltration of data thatpl might u steal corporate espionage or th nature. or the criminal attacks that people want to, you know, attack the banks to try and get some money. we are more worried about, again, the physical damage that would be done to the electric system that would disable the economy and every other part of the economy that depends on

. >>> there is more questions about what the department of homeland security knew about tamer man -- tamerlan tsarnaev. >> was your department aware of his travels to russia and if you weren't, the reason? >> the travel in 2012 that you are referring to, yes, the system pinged when he was leaving the united states. p by the time he returned the matter had been closed. >> that contradicts what republican senator lindsay graham was told by an assistant director. he told tsarnaev's name was misspelled and the fbi had no knowledge of him leaving or returning. >>> time now for the top 5 stories making news at this hour. the two men accused of working with al qaeda in canada facing a judge for the first time. refused a court pinted attorney and claiming the charges are unfair. the second suspect bleeded no not -- pleaded not guilty. charges are conspireing to an attack and association with a terrorist group. they were going flow up a bridge as a passenger train from new york passed by. >> a bogus tweet yesterday claimed there were two explosions and that president obama was injured. the whi

homeland security do? did they just control the borders of the united states? you hear about them, but you really don't know what their urisdiction really is. guest: the department of homeland security is an amalgamation of 22 separate agencies that cover citizenship services, customs, border protection, the u.s. secret service, the u.s. coast guard, all these various agencies, under the department of homeland security. they each have a great deal of autonomy in what they do to fulfill their original mission. that a part of homeland security ties together the information from all of these agencies, and that is their mission. caller: thank you for your service to your country. before this boston situation happened, there was a student from a muslim country, and red flags went up in his conversations. i kind of overlooked it at first. he is young, he might be impressionable. when i started seeing him on his laptop talking to his cleric in france, i called the fbi. i thought about it for a long time and i thought, you know what? if i don't do it and something happens, i will never be able to forgive myself. so i went ahead and call the local fbi. i am just wonderin

at least one department, homeland security i believe, knew he'd either come or gone to russia.s putting up, you know, in praise of terrorism why in the world didn't anybody think, oh, wait, this is a danger sign? >> and i think, candy, that is where people do look. now on the backside looking at what was seeming to be missed. number one, the airlines misspelling the name and the fbi didn't pick it up because it was a misspelled name. is that a clerical error? where are we in the process? how is that information shared and conducted and reviewed? who's doing the double check? people want to know that. and i think secondly when you have the report of the phone call that was intercepted, why did the fbi not go in and deal with these repeated alerts or several alerts that came. >> i'm not so sure they knew of the phone call until the last couple of days. >> that's exactly right. but why was it not picked up? >> well, russia had it. it was their interprcept, they didn't give it to us. >> in all fairness we're all cheering on the men and women in the intelligence services, homeland s

by his new homeland security adviser lisa monaco and other members of senior white house staff when he was in the oval office earlier today. monaco as you know took the place of his now-departed homeland security adviser who has now left for the cia. monaco new on the job, the president has spoken with the mayor of boston, tom anino, and massachusetts governor duvall patrick and offered them all the resources that they may need from the federal government. in a statement we're also told that he expressed his concern for those who were injured and made clear, again, that his administration is ready to provide needed support as they respond to this incident. jake, the president does have one event later this afternoon so we are scheduled to see him on camera. h will be officially induct the new diplomats into the foreign service corps. so we'll look to see if the president makes s any kind of statement about the events in boston, and we'll bring that to you when it happens. i would imagine it would be hard for him to avoid commenting on this at this stage. jake? >> jessica, thank you. if you're just joining us, we are expecting a press conference from boston police commissioner
