of sensitive national security information. as the ranking member of the committee on homeland security, i am supportive of the department of homeland security's current insider threat program. it is targeted at preventing and detecting when a vetted federal employee or contractor with access to u.s. government resources, including personnel, facilities, information, equipment, networks and systems ploits such access for nefarious, terroristic or criminal purposes. though i support the d.h.s. program, i do have some concerns about d.h.s. and other federal agencies deploying continuous evaluation programs without transparency and congressional oversight. . i'm kerp federal agencies with an understandable urge to protect their i.t. systems and facilities are racing to aguirre the capability before knowing whether such costly systems are even effective. therefore i'd like to reiterate to this congress as i did last congress that prior to establishing any such program on which certain d.h.s. employees would be subjected to ongoing automated credit, criminal, and social media monitoring the department engaging congress about not only the

by talking to a source, that they're going to be trying to use existing funding in the department of homeland security that is authorized by the secure fence act that was passed during the bush administration way back in 2006. wolf, they're looking at using existing dollars, existing law to get this wall started, get it under construction. we're going to hear from the president in just a couple of hours over at the department of homeland security to offer up some more details, but, wolf, this executive order that president trump is going to be signing later on this afternoon dealing with immigration, it is going to be sweeping. it is not just dealing with starting construction of that wall on the u.s.-mexico border. it's going to be ordering immigration agents to step up enforcement, removal of what they call criminal "aliens" although we don't use that term. it's undocumented people in this country who are suspected of committing crimes. >> i'm going to interrupt you right now. there's sean spicer, the white house press secretary, starting today's press briefing. >> as soon as he gets going over ther

so it's not exactly clear what secondary level of vetting will be required by the department of homeland security to assure these residents of the united states are able to come back here to this country. that's something still not clear and something we have to figure out not only from the department of homeland security. >> another couple of questions. is leslie still with us there? so let me ask you, you've been covering washington for a long time and just listening to what ryan was saying. customarily when there's an executive order and it will involve a number of agencies, this is homeland security, state department, department of justice, usually, are there a set of instructions or a fanning out of instructions on how this will be executed before an executive order would actually be honored? almost sounds like people haven't sorted out, but the executive order and then instructions come to follow. h how is it usually done? >> more preparation time especially when it goes to the treatment of green card holders. i just got and i'm sure our ryan did and might have been there. there is a briefi

here's the response from the department of homeland security about the order from the new york federal judge. quote, the department of homeland security will continue to enforce all of president trump's executive orders in a manner that ensures the safety and security of the american people. they also say that the u.s. government retained its right to revoke visas at any time if required for national security or for public safety. and the federal judge issued the order last night after lawyers for the american civil liberties union filed a court petition on behalf of families from the banned countries. >> we asked the judge to hold everything in place. we believe this executive order is clearly unlawful. but we said to the judge we understand she may need time to figure that out to block the removal of everyone nationwide who's been caught up in this unlawful executive the government may not send anybody back until she finally rules everyone now who came is safe. >> well, we know that a lot of this might beconfusing. here are four things to know. first, president trump signed the execu

include green cardholders, and that is something that there has been a report that the department of homeland security recommende that it not include green cardhoers. why did the white house choose to overrule the department of homeland security on that one? >> we didn't overrule them. it doesn't affect them. but here is the deal. if you're coming in and out of one of those seven countries -- by the way, identified by the obama administration as the seven most dangerous countries in the world in regard to harboring terrorists and affi affirmed by congress multiple times, then you're going to be subjected temporarily with more questioning until a better program is put in place over the next several months. this is something that 75%, 80% of americans out there agree with. we don't want people that are traveling back and forth to one of these seven countries that harbor terrorists to be traveling freely back and forth between the united states and those countries. >> you just said something at the beginning of your answer and it seemed like an aside. this order does not impact any green cardholders from

general john kelly is a well-qualified nominee to lead the department of homeland security. confirmed, he would succeed another exceptional leader, secretary jeh johnson. jeh johnson with the help of his leadership team, this committee and congress, has begun a remarkable transformation of the department that was badly needed and much welcome. i found over my lifetime that the key to success for any organization, i've ever been a part of or witnessed, was enlightened leadership. john kelly is a leader. he is humble. he has the heart of a servant. he understands that his job has been and will be to serve. not be served. he leads by example. with general john kelly, it is not do as i say, but do as i do. step apartcourage to from everybody else. he surrounds himself with the best people and when is team does well, he gives them the credit. and when the team falls short, he takes the blame. he doesn't believe in raising himself up by pushing other people down. he is a purveyor of hope and appeals to people's better angels. throughout his 45 years in military service, he is deci

the second executive order we're expected to hear about the event at the department of homeland securityals more with sanctuary cities. the way it was, enhanced public safety in the interior united states but the idea of doing somethg about sancary cities, neil, with holding funding from these cities looks to be something the president is working on today. again we heard a little bit about it from mr. spicer. perhaps we hear more when we get video or pictures from mr. trump here. neil: connell, always in the details, one of them, it is not a minor one, how much it costs. it will be many billions of dollars. >> right. neil: there are only some ways you can raise that kind of money or get it from mexico. some have talked about visa taxes. others are saying in tariffs, maybe both. what are you hearing? reporter: step by step, we start with paying up front with united states allocated funds. some of which may be already appropriated. president through executive action may have authority to do something with those funds but there may be more funds. this depends on how, you know, big of a wall

president trump made his trip to the department of homeland security this morning. joined by families of americans who have been killed by illegal immigrants in this country. the commander-in-chief

with the department of homeland security, they will be provided with the tools they need to stop illegal immigration from entering the united states. under the constitution, the america people get the final say of who can and cannot enter our nation. they've spoken loud and clearly through our laws. we are going to create more detention space for illegal immigrants along the southern border to make it easier and cheaper to detain them. we are going to end the last administration's dangerous catch and release policy, which has led to the death of many americans. we're going to want again prioritize the resignation and deportation of illegal immigrants who otherwise violated our laws. after these criminal spent time in prison for the crimes they have committed, they will get one way tickets to their country of origin. the second executive order -- enhancing public safety in the interior of the united states -- addresses the enforcement of our immigration laws in the united states. it returns the power and responsibility to the dedicated men and women of the department of homeland security'

details of what was in the order outside of sort of open sourced media who exactly in the department of homeland security was involved, you can't provide names is it the landing team from the transition, from the trump administration prior to its arrival or career staff involved from the department of homeland security prior to this announcement? >> i did know it was under development. i had an opportunity to look at least two drafts as it got closer to friday. again, don't exactly know other than some of my legal shop representatives were involved. i would imagine on the landing team i would imagine some of them but the point it s it came to the department on a close hold basis. we didn't distribute it to anyone in the department. myself included my chief, and the lawyers and so it was a back-and-forth process. i did talk to representative in the white house, oh, probably certainly early in the week, about where it was going, how it was being developed. i had a comment i'd seen some of the initial drafts, pretty busy week. i didn't get involved in correcting grammar or reformatting the thing. so i don't

he said that the department of health and security would also set up a special section looking after the victims of crime —— the department of homelandecial section looking after the victims of crime perpetrated by illegal aliens. and rivera to some of those victims he pointed to some people he was addressing in the audience at the department of homeland security who were victims of crime perpetrated by immigrants. quite a wide—ranging and important speech at the department of homeland security by president trump, let's go to washington and talk to james sagbo, the founder and president of the arab american institute. —— let's go to washington and speak to let's go to washington and speak to let's james zogby, he's the founder and president. there is this idea that a wall needs to be built to keep people out, particularly on the southern border, what is your view? it is unnecessary and i think it is wrong—headed, it is a form of misdirection. not unlike the argument that the president makes on the of voter fraud, it is based on phoney numbers. grounded in prejudice and fear. in the case of voterfraud, prejudice and fear. in the case

liz: all right, hearing for department of homeland security secretary candidate general john kelly isneral right now. he is listening to senator ron's johnson of wisconsin, chair of senate homeland security committee. senator johnson just warned if anybody pulls off any monkey business they will be thrown out. we saw a lot of protesters in the earlier session for jeff sessions attorney general. but to general kelly, at 66 he boasts a 45 year military career with his final leadership post as head of southern command. why is that important? he is responsible for u.s. military activities in latin america and caribbean. that means the border between us and south america. general kelly had experience in western iraq. landing as defense secretary robert gates senior military, the fact that general kelly is set to serve in the trump administration. the question is he one best prepared to take on the role. let me bring in somebody a good judge of that. rob o'neill, the man who killed osama bin laden. rob, you're more than that as well. that is absolutely huge. two silver stars. four bronze st

he is visiting the department of homeland security. jackie ward is following this story and has more >>> reporter: good morning. on day one of his presidency, president trump pledged to cancel federal funding for sanctuary cities as part of his immigration reform. and in a state like california, that has nearly 3 dozen sanctuary cities, that's alarming! while at the department of homeland security today, president trump is expected to sign the orders related to sanctuary cities. as a candidate, president trump said he would withhold all federal money to places where those who were living here illegally aren't arrested or detained. senator kamala harris recently met with a few california mayors in washington, dc where they shared their concerns. >> this administration may choose to punish california for supporting the idea that we're not going to deny essential services to anybody regardless of immigration status and we'll see what happens. >> reporter: the president will meet with several parents of children who were killed by immigrant

he was detained by department of homeland security up to 24 hours, but now freed. protests continue here at sfo. this protest on the departure level, one of three happening right now. they have been happening all day, in fact, starting very early this morning. they have been loud, they have been large, up to 1,000 people taking part, and these folks demanding justice. [ chanting ] >> reporter: hundreds of demonstrators packed the international arrivals terminal for the second day to protest president trump as ban on refugees my grass and foreign nationals from entering the united states. the crowd, some of them immigration attorneys, demanding the release of travelers being held by customs agents. >> attorneys are here, protesters are here, they're not going anywhere until people are let out. >> there's no final word. >> ahmad has been waiting for his nephew traveling from yemen with a green card dough tained by homeland security officials. >> who are here to support the muslim community. i'm glad we are in america. i'm glad you are a democratic country, and i hope

we arejust keeping our eye on the podium at the department of homeland security. k, we will bring it to you. in a meantime, let's look at some of the other developments today. some of the other key developments today, russia says it has "no illusions" that relations with the us will improve quickly under president trump. foreign minister sergei lavrov said he had no "naive expectations" about a "new reset button". you might remember that same term was used by 0bama's administration to describe their drive for closer ties between the two countries. protesters have climbed a construction site crane a few blocks from the white house. activists from greenpeace unfurled a 70 foot banner displaying the word "resist". the demonstrators say this is an "all—encompassing message" against the new president and his policies on the environment, women and the economy. the man tipped to be donald trump's ambassador to the eu, ted malloch, says that britain could agree a "mutually beneficial" free trade deal with america in 90 days. but the eu has made it clear that britain can't

these seven nations were put on a list in 2015 by the obama administration under the department of homeland securityate d frd from preside obama buzz it's not necessarily where the people are born. it's where they go to train as terrorism terrorists. you may have been one of the nations that you mentioned and they have attacked us. but they ended up training in afghanistan. why did we go to afghanistan after 9/11? the 9/11 attackers were being funded and gone through afghanistan. not through their original nation where they were. this is a complex issue but if you say where were they trained and getting their funding it is the seven countries on this list and the same seven koun trus. this list is not something that donald trump made up. barack obama and the department of homeland security put this list together in 2015. >> so also the president's plan has been get iting pushed back from prominent republicans. john mccain and lindsey graham issued a statement. our government has a responsibility to defend our borders, but we must do so in a way that makes us safer and upholds all that is decent and

it's sbre iing because you you were an adviser when it came to dhs, the department of homeland securityeally between the election and the inauguration, you knew this was going to be coming. why then was this not, a lot of people have said this could have been rolled out better. he could have had a better understanding of how this was going to go from lawyers and the department of homeland security could have been looped in better. >> the first thing is there's only one president at a time. so, you really can't go into a department and start issuing orders before january 20th. if there's one thing the transition team didn't lack for it was a lot of lawyers, so the notion that no lawyer looked at this, didn't have competency on this. much of that is fair criticism. it's fair to criticize the administration hasn't been out there kind of depending this thing. as vociferously as they might have could. part of that is because they've been so anxious to roll so many exec ty orders out the coore. by next week, we'll have another of executive orders and we'll be talking about something else. >>

the department of homeland security would also have to prepare for the president-elect's plans. >> reporter. the information i'm getting is the moment that donald trump was elected as president conversations began at the department of homeland security. and those discussions essentially were in preparation for the scenario that one day they are told that they have to make this happen. so a part of those conversations involved identifying what's the priority area along the southern border. where would we start? where would we start first as it relates to erecting that wall? that's the nature of the conversations that have been happening at dhs. we should point out we did reach out to the trump transition team but did not receive a response. >> rene marsh, appreciate it. jeffrey lord and robert reich joining us. secretary reich, how realistic is it for the president-elect to say mexico will reimburse for the wall? >> it's completely ridiculous. the president of mexico two days ago assured mexicans there was no way mexico is going to pay for this wall. this is a folly. the wall itself is a fol

the department of homeland security, the state department are asked to provide information on the numbersand then to issue progress reports on the policy with more data within one and three months. so let me save the government some money and offer the data right now. alex of the cato institute, a conservative think tank tallied the number of americans killed by citizens of the seven countries banned from 1975 to 2015. they are as follows. from iraq. zero. from iran. zero. from syria, zero. from yemen. zero. somal somalia, zero. and sudan, you guessed it, zero. incidentally that number from saudi arabia is 2,369 from the uae 216, why certain countries are on or off this list is truly mysterious. some newspapers have noted correctly that none of the muslim majority countries that have a trump hotel building or office are on the list. more broadly, it is pointed out that including 9/11, the chance of an american being killed by foreign terrorist on u.s. soil over that 41 year period is 1.36 million per year. being killed by a refugee, your chances are 1 in 3.64 billion per year. there's no

the department of homeland security already has the information before the cities have it. >> ed: let's back up for one minute then. you're confirming finally that sanctuary cities do exist. e >> no, they don't. it's a fiction. >> ed: is the sort of a semantic debate for you then? it is sort of semantics. >> it is not semantics. s it's a fact. why can't we just get on the congress acting? we've been waiting 17 years for congress to act. cities have been frustrated on both sides of the issues, states have been frustrated on both sides, passing laws only to be struck down by this judicial system. it is congress' responsibility. >> ed: so while those cities fight it out in debates and congress gone for years, and you try to claim to our viewers tonight somehow that sanctuary cities do not exist, they exist and people are killed in the sanctuary cities. if you look at the case of kate's law. again, i do not know why you are smiling and laughing -- >> because you are wrong. >> ed: the man who killed her had seven prior convictions, b arrested five previous times. francisco sanchez. san franc

we, nsa, will partner with fbi, department of homeland security, u.s. cyber command, to ensure the broader government, the department of defense, and the fbi and its relationship with the private sector. the biggest frustration to me is speed, speed, speed. we have to be faster and more a agile. i'm constantly asking, how can we be faster, how do we organize ourselves, what's the construct that makes the most sense. we can't be bound by history and tradition. we have to be willing to look at alternatives. >> thank you. general clapper, one of the aspects of this russian hacking was not just disseminating information they had exploited from computers but also the allegations of fake news sites, fake news stories that were propagated. is that an accurate -- or is that one aspect of this problem? >> yes. i don't want to get too far in front of the headlights of our rollout next week to the congress. this was a multifaceted campaign. so the hacking was only one part of it. and it also entailed classical propaganda, disinformation, fake news. >> does that con
