committee is taking direct aim at two former trump officials who held top jobs at the department of homeland securityrom capitol hill now. what can the committee learn from these two former department of homeland security officials? >> well, wolf, this is significant because these two top dhs officials, chad wolf and chad cuccinelli were in power during the time between the november election and what happened on january 6th. we know during that timeframe, the trump white house was going to great lengths to try to get government agencies to get involved in what they believed or at least tried to claim was election fraud across the country. in fact, there's even a report of rudy giuliani, the former president's lawyer at the time, reaching out to ken cuccinelli and suggesting perhaps dhs needed to go in and impound some election voting machines across the country. so the committee could ask both of these men serious questions about the pressure campaign that was put on the trump white house to the department of homeland security during that period of time, and what if anything that could have possibly

former advisor to the department of homeland security and an expert on homeland security. als on some of these policies. is it too little too late? >> yes, it is. the biden administration is re- implementing mpp not because they want to but because i have to. here is a problem. because they started down on day one they have to renegotiate this whole thing with the sovereign country mexico. mexico contained jill entire conditions on this and they have yet to be agreed to. we have seen the strategy of enticement as opposed to deterrence. we have seen them reinstated to catch and release. we have seen them limit cdp and i.c.e. and finally we have seen the inconsistent ways that they have been forced the cdc rule title 42 and next during an actual pandemic. i am not holding out much hope that they will put forth the good-faith efforts here to re- implement mpp. >> you are saying that the administration is only doing what it has to do. >> that is absolutely right. even though it worked. we know it worked. enough data over the past nine months that the trump strategies around bor

the office of professional responsibility within the department of homeland security's u.s. customs and border protection, number one. number two, we alerted the inspector general of the incidents. number three, i directed that the office of professional responsibility be present on site in del rio 24/7 to insure that the conduct of our personnel adheres to our policies, to our training, and to our values. i was horrified to see the images. and we look forward to learning the facts that are induced from the investigation. and we will take actions that those facts compel. we do not tolerate any mistreatment or abuse of a migrant, period. i also want to say, and i think it's very important tosay that i saw two other powerful things yesterday when i was there under the bridge in del rio. number one, i saw the acute vulnerability of the haitian population, the predominantly haitian population, and i cannot overstate how difficult that is to see. we're speaking about vulnerable individuals in a tragic circumstance. i also saw the extraordinary work of u.s. customs and border prote

secretary, as you mentioned in your testimony, the department of homeland security center for prevention programs and partnerships also known as cp3 aims to expand the department's ability to prevent terrorism and targeted violence through the development of local prevention frameworks. cp3's office has been rebranded multiple times, as you know, in the past. in fact it used to be called the office for community partnerships. previous congresses, i've introduced legislation, bipartisan legislation, actually, to codify this office in order for there to be consistent leadership and resources for it. is cp3 or a similar office to counter the rise of domestic terrorism something that congress should work now to codify and what benefits would that provide to the department and to efforts to combat domestic terrorism given it is one of the top threats facing our homeland? go right ahead. >> senator, i'm very grateful for your support of the office and for the department as a whole. this office is centered around empowering and equipping neighborhoods, communities across the country, to address

our first witness is secretary mayorkas, the seventh secretary of the department of homeland security. he was the deputy secretary and as director of u.s. citizenship and immigration services and began his public service at the department of justice. mr. secretary, thank you for appearing before this committee today. you are recognized for your opening statement. >> thank you very much, chairman peters, ranking member portman and distinguished members of the committee. good morning and thank you for inviting me here today to discuss the threat homeland face our homeland 20 years after 9/11, alongside my colleagues from the fbi and national counterterrorism center. i've attended events to remember that tragic assault on our democracy. each was a powerful reminder of why we serve. in memory of those whom we lost and in pursuit of our noble mission to protect the homeland. today, we face a diverse and evolving threat landscape that includes domestic and interest naergs -- international cyberattacks, climate change and more. through the extraordinary talent and dedication of more than 250

look, there's a long history, even when i served in the department of homeland security, of people ofents that they didn't -- you know, from the opposite party. this should not be remarkable. and moreover, this particular office that she's serving is increasingly important. we face threats not just from within the united states but from overseas to the integrity of our election systems, so cybersecurity's important, and it's -- and it looks, from her background, that she's very much the right person for the job. >> yeah. it should not be remarkable, but the polling shows us that she's out of step with a large part of the party who believes that this is central to being a republican. elliot williams, thank you. >> take care, victor, alisyn. >> you too. >>> facebook is facing controversy today again, a report reveals what happens if you click the angry emoji on a facebook post. we'll explain that. sharing smiles together is a gift. at aspen dental, it's easy to gift yourself the smile you deserve. new patients, get started with a comprehensive exam and full set of x-rays with no obligat

of border wall material rest and go to waste along the border. but biden doesn't believe in border security or in walls. that is unless it's for a his own house. the department of homelandent nearly half a million dollars hiring a company called turnstone holdings for the "purchase installation of security fencing at joe biden the summer beach house in delaware. so while joe biden refuses to secure america's southern border, he is making sure it taxpayers secure the border around his vacation home. maybe walls really do work after all. a 19-year-old afghan refugee named zababdullah mohammed was arrested. he is part of the federal afghan resettlement program. in response, montana governor greg ginn forte called for the biden administrationfo temporarily halt -- but said, montana welcomes our fully vetted afghan allies. thomas homan is the former acting i.c.e. director. he joins us. one of the most alarming pieces about the story, tom, the lawyer for this, this afghan guy, said there were cultural and language barriers that played a role in the rape. like he doesn't know the english word for stop, or rape might mean sending different in afghanistan that it does in montana

we needed a new security architecture to keep us safe which included the creation of the department of homeland security. and also by the way was the recreation of this committee, as the committee on homeland security, and governmental affairs. to a large degree, you have to say we've been successful. we've not had a mass casualty foreign terrorist attack on american soil during those intervening 20 years. i don't think any of us would have thought that was possible back on 9/11. the reason for that success is not because the terrorists have stopped trying. it is thanks to our armed forces, intelligence community, and law enforcement, that we have succeeded in stopping those terrorists. this hearing is timely. a little more than 20 days ago, the last american troops withdrew hastily from afghanistan, and the taliban once again took back the government of afghanistan. the new taliban looks very much like the old taliban, with terrorists on the united nations security council's black list at the highest ranks, mistake the leader of the county network, a u.s. designated terrorist organization whic

first the tsa than the department of homeland security and the weekend to the new terrorism threat. executive branch reorganization since 1947. the coordination with congress produce the tsa act outlining the establishment in the shape of a new executive agency. where the faa is responsible for safety and security of commercial aviation the new love the security elements of the new tsa. so for obvious reasons the law mandated the new agent on —- agency focus so to provide a roadmap we set off to establish the agency it is the most gratifying at challenging years of public service as we took at on. we recruited applicants for 60000 positions at airports across the country and then distribute over 9144 weeks and then the agency continues to evolve through today we work with all major airlines trade association, government agencies, foreign advisers, commercial vendors to design an op-ed of thousands of checkpoints to provide physical security. 12:31 p.m. 2003 when i can report to the secretary of tsa the airport on guam had gone green to gain operational compliance with the law. this

now, her department of homeland security evolved on the american side of the board as all the texas state ranges, the house is going to work out for people in the care of and what's the post exam you can talk about yeah, i mean the past examples over these 2 years since the 1st huge ones that the world, so when this phenomenon of the caravans begun, has been pretty much of a mitigated failure. and it hasn't been usually on the us food. it's been long, long before the top of 2 layers of point at the moment in which mexican security security forces have basically been keeping people trapped inside. is that like a bubble trying to contain them as a try and get a new. so this situation in which after months about people are broken out and then go this far, is already that serve them. people have managed to get in quite a while. now what tends to happen when they try to get a new place to write on that? so the border is picked up by the national guard in terms of those ro float sets of rest those migration authorities. because that's likely to happen, that they're not even going to get out of

these are forces, we just released a report this week that showed that our department of homeland security here in the united states has had internal reports for years. hundreds of them from its own officials about the brutality of the treatment. the border patrol is given to migrant. this is not actually managing migration or changing the underlying dynamics of people on the move. what it is doing is exposing people to, to severe rights abuses and by ministration could do better. you know, it could be really focused on creating a safe and legal route to go because people will get an align if there is one. but also making sure that people who need to flee are, are, are received in with, with dignity and with humanity that you not just can do this. this is not a massive problem, except it has become a political one clar along. thank you. want to now turn to the increasingly volatile situation in afghanistan. as the taliban tried to establish a measure of security and stability, they found themselves the target of multiple attacks in the province of nan gar. separately, 2 roadside bombs kill

joining me now former acting department of homeland security deputy chief of staff heritage foundationr for technology, policy director laura reese. this is really rich, isn't it? >> it absolutely is, dagen. good morning, today the department of homeland security is announcing that people will be able to travel across the land borders if they are nonessential. we've had restrictions for the past 19 months only limiting essential workers or travelers to come across the land border but just a few weeks ago when the biden administration announced that air travelers could come to the u.s., if they could prove vaccination, press secretary jen psaki when asked whether illegal aliens crossing the southern border would be required to be vaccinated or even tested for covid, she gave a ridiculous answer that no, they would not be because they don't plan to stay long. so once again, illegal aliens seem to get the trump card for other requirements that american citizens have to meet or even the traveling public. dagen: department of homeland security alejandro mayorkas ordering immigration and cus

of the trump administration has acknowledged, the 2020 election was the most secure in american history? >> that is the conclusion of the justice department and of the intelligence community and the department of homeland despite the fact there is evidence of so-called fraud, this year at least 19 states have enacted 33 laws making it harder for everyday vote. and in the aftermath of the january 6 insurrection, instead of running toward democracy, there are people throughout this country, some, have run away from this democracy and they've unleashed an epidemic of voter suppression across the land. let me just ask a few questions about some of the things that have occurred. how does banning churches and civic groups from giving food and water to voters, som whom have been waiting in line for hours, prevent or address voter fraud? >> congressman, i don't want to talk too much about that, because that is the subject of our loss against the state of georgia, but you have identified a segment of the■4■ challenge w have presented as being unlawful. >> does restricting the times that someone can cast their vote to business hours when many americans are at work relate in any way rationally to protecting the i

that is evaluated by the department of homeland security and the state department. >> [inaudible] i know you have said previously -- this represents a dramatic scaling back of a signature part of the presidents legislative policy. is this within the realm of possibility? how do you react to senator manchin? ms. psaki: i'm not going to react directly to senator manchin's point of view because that's not advantageous at this point in the negotiations. the president proposed an extension in the child tax credit because he feels it cannot only help families make ends meet, it can bring more women back into the workforce and it is a vital part of his proposed packages. he also continues to be open to supporting means testing or caps on income. there is a range being discussed, but i am not going to speak to it further than that. >> cap targets for september. you have spoken about the white house was able to get those advanced. [inaudible] ms. psaki: not me personally, not the united states. >> unless you have ties we are not aware of. [laughter] the u.s. can exert a major influence. are you t

attempting to prevent attacks against the homeland, and it is such an important function of the department, a submission of the department of homeland security and its responsibilities of its components -- have these grown too fast for one department? mister secretary. >> thank you so much for your question. i don't think so. we are a department of partnerships. i think we are working now very cohesively, across the department, across our different agencies and offices. and i think that we are working more collaboratively, mostly, with our state, local, and territorial partners as never before. we have, for example, through the office of -- i'm sorry, through the office of intelligence analysis, the dissemination of critical products in partnership with the federal bureau of investigation. through to our local first responder community, so that they have well equipped and empowered to address the threats that they face in their respective communities. i know that you know this very well, given your lifelong dedication to the law enforcement and public safety mission. i think we are working very cohesively. we have a lot more to accomplish in

i am concerned with the push to move pipeline security oversight from the department of homeland security and into the department of energy. i wholeheartedly agree that there is more that tsa can do in terms of increasing its resources and expertise, but i believe tsa or the department of homeland security is the appropriate agency to oversee pipeline security. tsa's close collaboration with cisa serves to insure that there is a strong dhs effort in securing all transportation modes against cyber threats. as a committee, we need to continue to strengthen our nation's cybersecurity by strengthening cisa and giving them all the tools and responsibilities needed to keep all of our cyber infrastructure safe and secure. i look forward to the discussion today on how to improve the security of our nation's pipelines against continued threats of cyber attacks and all of our nation's security threats and how we can protect the united states of america from cyber threats in the future, and madam chairwoman, i also share your displeasure that the fbi did not participate today. thank you, madam chair

of border walls materials rust and go to waste. but he doesn't believe in border security or walls. at that is, unless it's for his own house. last month, the department of homeland,000 for the installation of security fencing and his house. while he failed to secure the borders, he is making to secure the border on his vacation home. maybe walls to work after all. 19-year-old afghan refugee was arrested this past weekend for sexual assault. he was in montana because the government put him there. he's part of the federal afghan resettlement program. the governor called for the biden administration to temporary halt refugee resettlement in montana. back in september the governor said montana welcomes all were fully vended afghan allies. thomas is the former acting ice director. he joins us. one of the most alarming pieces about the story, tom, the lawyer for the fervor, the afghan guys said there was cultural and language barriers that played a role. like he doesn't know the english word for stop? or it might mean something different in afghanistan than it does in montana. >> first, let me fix what was said earlier. at the turn of homeland security once again is l

though federal court said the biden administration went about it the wrong way, so the department of homeland securityikely by mid-november will reluctantly revive the policy officially known as migrant protection protocols or mpp. department of homeland security in a statement says, quote, we are working to do so despite our appeal of the court's order, dhs will also be issuing a memorandum terminating mmp and republicans have been pushing the administration to reinstate it. >> yeah, no, myself and many of my republican colleagues have been pushing to reinstate the trump-policies that work, the remain in mexico policy works. it's encouraging to see the administration start to go down that route. we have to hold them accountable and i'm not stopping until i see that policy get reinstated. rich: just down the road from here a group of about 100 migrants crossed near last night where border patrol processes them, usually if they're traveling as families or paroled into the united states with request to appear in immigration court or register at local immigration office and the tempo has slowed after inc

department of justice and federal bureau of investigation, u.s. department of homeland security, u.s. secret service on the assessments regarding the right level risk to public school children, faculty and campuses. that's the exact language that they are using. and yet they want us to believe that there was no targeting of parents. >> kayleigh: we can all see quite plainly that there certainly was but we need to talk about the power of these teachers unions as you mentioned, it's not just about this issue. it's about the vaccination guidelines and they had their hand in all of this in the biden administration has been playing ball. but to go back to kayleigh's point, the lack of transparency from the administration as a whole. >> harris: all right, we will get back to the house judiciary committee and the attorney general america garland now, questioning from the 46 members bipartisan continues now. >> i certainly did, and i worked on it. >> in that memo you issued a directive to the fbi. you directed the fbi to conduct meetings with leaders at all levels of government across t

assessment, i am the accountable person. >> are you accountable, as an example, if the department of homeland security does not have proper high cyber hygiene in place? perhaps not a good example. they were one of the few agencies that were doing the right things. but let's say the department of energy, are you the one responsible? >> yes sir, i am ultimately the accountable person. my job is to make sure that that job has been allocated to department heads, to cisa, the operational entity coordinating defense, to the office of management and budget. and coach, we've use that term before, i have to make sure that those roles are properly executed, and you perform to settlement. >> let me ask you this, this organizational chart, again, we've talked about in the past, the overlap. we've talked about the national security overlap with what you are doing. do you think the government's organizational structure is effective right now? do you think the lines of responsibility are clear? >> i think it is reasonably effective. can we make it better? we can and we will. the three of us off at this table talk ab

the department of homeland security, well, it's canceled the contracts for the border wall in the extremely busy rio grande valley of texas, that's where a lot of migrants try to cross over. they continue to flood into our country. now there are warnings of another large caravan on its way, traveling from south america, bringing upwards of an estimated 60,000 haitians, that would join the 15,000 who already crossed over the border a few weeks ago. bill malushan has the latest on that. hi, bill. >> reporter: hey, eric. look, it's the cartels and the smugglers out there who continue to benefit by far the most from this border crisis. they're making a killing right now because they know there are people out there willing to pay a lot of money to get here to the united states and to that point, take a look at the video we shot in the rio grande valley last night. they were on the hunt for human smugglers. they're swarming on the local freeways. as you seize people taken into custody, once they cross the border illegally there are smugglerring waiting to pick them up and take them further inland

i am concerned with pipeline security oversight moving from the department of homeland security and into the department of energy. i wholeheartedly agree that if there is more that tsa can do, i agree that tsa is the appropriate agency to oversee pipeline security. tsa's close operate -- cooperation ensures there is a strong dhs effort in securing all transportation modes against cyber threats. as a committee we need to strengthen our nation cybersecurity by strengthening it and giving them all the tools and response abilities needed to keep off of our cyber infrastructure safe and secure. i look forward to the discussion today. protecting our nation's pipeline against continued cyber attacks and frick lee all our nation security threats and how we can protect the u.s. from cyber threats in the future and madame chairwoman, i also share your displeasure that the fbi did not participate today. thank you madame chairwoman. i yield back the balance of my time. >> thank you ranking member. the chair now recognizes the chairwoman of the subcommittee for cybersecurity infrastructure protection

so the department of homeland security likely by mid november will reluctantly revive the policy, officiallywn as migrant protection protocols or mpp. the department says quote, we are working to do so despite our appeal of the court's order. dhs will also be issuing a memorandum terminating mpp. republicans have been pushing the administration for months to [inaudible] it. >> myself and many of my republican colleagues have been pushing to reinstate the trump poliies that work. the remain in mexico policy works. it is encouraging to see the administration start to go down that route. we have to hold them accountable. i'm not stopping till i see that policy get reinstated. >> just down the road from here, a group of about 100 migrants crossed, where border patrol then processes them. usually if they are traveling as family, they are paroled into the united states with requests later to appear before an immigration court or register at a local immigration office. the tempo has slowed in this region after historically busy summer, but we're still waiting for official numbers here. last month s

the resultant legislation created first the tsa and the department of homeland security and those pieces of legislation were an announcement to the world that we had awakened to this new terrorism threat. and it included the most significant and executive branch reorganization since 1947. coordination with the congress produced the tsa act, outlining the establishment and shape of this new executive agency. where the f.a.a. had been responsible for safety and security, the new law called for security elements for the new tsa. although centered on aviation, for obvious reasons the law mandated that the new agency focused on all modes of transportation. the legislation provided the road map and we set about to establish the agency. it was probably the most-- it was the most gratifying yet challengings years of my 42 years of public service since we took that on. we recruited applicants for 60,000 positions at airports across the country and they were vetted, hired, trained, distributed to over 400 airports in nine weeks and we allowed the reality of the stand-up process to shape which has

earlier this month the department of homeland security announced it would terminate the remaining contracts for the southern border wall in the rio grande valley. i'm looking for a series of yes or no answers. do you believe canceling such contracts at this time is a prudent choice given this dire situation on our southern border? mr. magnus: i am not working for cbp right now so i don't know exactly which contracts you are referring to. mr. magnus: in perp -- sen. young: you didn't familiarize yourself with that. mr. magnus: i'm sorry senator but i can tell you i'm with each contract border patrol has for infrastructure. what i will tell you sir is i think there is a place for infrastructure and i think that includes in certain sections completion of barriers and other things. this is an area i want to learn more about. sen. young: you think there is a role paired would you commit to reinstating the contract to become commissioner should you be confirmed? mr. magnus: i can commit to initiating a contract that i am not familiar with. sen. young: have you familiarize yourself with title eigh

i believe the focus of the hearing is on the threats that lead to the greatest risk to our homeland security and as the department of homeland security indicated in october 2020 in their annual threat assessment -- >> you don't believe billions of dollars across our nation last summer is a threat to our national security? >> every form of political violence is a threat to our national security. but there are data points that indicate what the greatest threat are that have been detected by the homeland security and intelligence -- >> billions of dollars of damage across our nation, again, is not a threat? >> of course it's a threat. i said it's a threat. >> so why are these -- why are these groups not included in this assessment that's taking place today? >> that would be a question for the staffers, i think, to answer. >> i'll be moving on then, thank you. it's been estimated the riots across 2020 cost americans and property owners $1 billion and possibly up to $2 billion in damages. colonel plenzler, what impact does such violent actions by those on the extreme left have on business owners, some of which are vet

i oversaw those efforts at the department of homeland security. i know for a fact we put in place very, very good systems such that christopher krebs, my colleague, was right when he said the 2020 election was one of the most secure in american history. but if we've got secretaries of state around the country that want to meddle in the elections the way these people do and the way trump wants them to, we're not going to see elections that are nearly as secure. >> miles taylor, thank you so much. >> thanks, chris. >>> a democrat representing california's 19th district, sits on the committee investigating the january 6th attack. also served as impeachment manager. obviously there's the bull work of winning elections, but there's an uphill battle there. preserving the integrity, finding accountability for january 6th. where is the committee right now as that subpoena deadline passed and a lot of hand wringing and worry about whether this will mean a kind of open defiance that steals the power from what you're trying to do. >> well, we're very committe

from the dj i which is a company the trump administration actually flag in 2017, the department of homeland security the company is using his drones for the purpose of providing information on u.s. critical infrastructure to the chinese communist party had that was confident that that was taken place which is why our administration it took all of those out and basically advance the policy where we would not use that chinese technology throughout the concerns that while way and company's control by the chinese communist party they pose to our national security. so like so much of the biden administration has done on national security lately it makes very little sense and for trucks are national security is not as good as u.s. technology in the drones and it's hard to make sense what is doing this other than it is consistent with the biden administration's taking a softer approach in trying to promote a false narrative that somehow china is a competitor. not an adversary and you would think that the lessons learned from covid-19 would teach everyone that china is not to be trusted and that moves like

from dji, which is a company that the trump administration actually flagged in 2017, department of homeland securitypurpose of providing information on u.s. critical infrastructure to the chinese communist party and that was moderate competence that that was taking place which is why our administration took all of those out and basically advanced the policy where we wouldn't use that chinese technology, you outlined the kind of concerns that huawei and companies that are controlled by the chinese communist party pose to our national security. so like so much the biden administration has done on national security lately, this makes very little sense. it's harmful to our national security and also chinese drone technology is not as good as u.s. drone technology so it's hard to make sense out of what's doing this, other than it is consistent with the biden administration taking a softer approach, trying to promote a false narrative that somehow china is a competitor, not an adversary and you would think that the lessons learned from covid would treat -- would teach everyone that china's not to be trust

was important to come back to government to do the job but i have never served in the department of homeland securityefore in the white house and intelligence that never dhs and in all honesty it really is the best job i've ever done think it's the best job then government because going to the confirmation process a good friend of mine that was deputy secretary and said it is interesting in the world of national security so in homeland security or in cybersecurity the federal government is a coequal partner with the territorial colleagues and then 60 or 70 percent or more of every day meeting with partners either in industry at the state and local level which is incredibly fun because itl is all about building partnerships and relationshipssh and trust it is a fantastic job you have to say 100 days it sounds like it is a while that every day is fantastic. a couple of things i am focused on over the three years and then to lead the transformation and newest agency founded by my friend with a contentious election cycle and ais bunch of things that happened this year that are pretty intense. so now we r

of veterans, or groups like nt five and blm. >> i can answer that in thank you. the focus on this hearing is the greatest risks to our homeland security. the department of homeland security indicated on october 2020, in the assessment and at the office of the national . [inaudible]. and their threat assessments pretty. >> the 19. >> last summer that's a threat to our national security. >> every form is a threat to national security but there are data points and indicate with the greatest threats are by the department of homeland security in the offices of veterans international. [inaudible]. >> again, that is not a threat pretty. >> of course it is a threat printed. [inaudible]. [inaudible]. >> wire these groups not included in this assessment and that is taking place today pretty. >> that would be a question for the staffers. >> will then i'll be moving on and thank you it is been estimated that it cost americans property owners, $1 billion a possibly up to $2 billion in damages, what impact does such violent violent actions by those on the extreme left have with the business owners and some of which are veterans, and many of these business owners w

there is a focus on federal emergency management agent currently one agency within the department of homeland securityange. so taking things, returning it to independent cabinet level agency is the number one policy. past that we really need to be talking about the capacity, the management system across the country has an emergency manager agency in some form. but unfortunately in most places you have a part-time emergency manager is doubling as the fire chief. that we know needs to happen. really growing that capacity increasing the funding of our emergency management will be huge to do things even like apply medic patient grants or subduing mitigation projects but they want to be doing. >> i think were going to start to see a lot more of the resiliency resiliency or adaptation strategies going forward. a lot of what cities have been doing over the last five years is try to figure out how to shrink their carbon footprints. most of the money has gone into developing climate action plan et cetera. the index of climate change are coming home to hit as hard but were going to have to spend money how to li

nobodies news has learned the department of homeland security is building a special intelligence-gatheringdetect, track and send warnings about large groups of migrants headed north to the united states this comes after a massive surge of around 30,000 mostly haitian migrants they crossed the border into texas last month setting off that major crisis for the white house. julia ainsley broke the story for nbc news julia, how exactly would this cell work? >> well, shep, in the short term it would bring together people from inside dhs, cvp, ice and the office of intelligence and analysis to one building in washington where they could start watching the movements of migrants also a big part of this is watching social media, building grip s -- building algorithms to see where smugglers would meet with the migrants oftentimes it's disrupting information, information that tells immigrants now is the time to come. if you come now, you can stay. they think that if they can get to those groups and interrupt those messages faster, they will be able to interdict and keep people from making the trip to

mention you would have to personally deal with local belizean health officials, the cdc, department of homeland security, state department, all that red tape as well. >> all of which i know nothing about but you do. so, it's my understanding this is an insurance policy, right? so, for every traveller that does get whisked out of belize, there are travellers who spend the money own the insurance but then never have to use it. >> correct. so, it's a fully indem any identified membership program. it's a membership program we went out and indim any identified through the markets. so, we're not self-funded. we don't run around captive. we have the full strength and support of the london specialty risk market. >> i guess i'm still looking for cost. does it cost me less if i go to france or somewhere else that's easier to get me home from than belize? >> no. it's a black box. so, we have a couple different membership tiers. the first one is a 15-day trip. that starts at 675. we have a 30-day trip. so, you can be away for 30 days. that's 995. and we have an annual membership that's $2,500. you can take unlimite

the department of justice, department of homeland security and literally every major national law enforcement professional membership association is partnered together. several years ago i recognized we were going in the wrong direction when it comes to police community matters. in the aftermath of some of the divisive and terrible law enforcement tragedies that we've seen because every time that there is a strain between the police and communities, crime and violence escalates affecting the most vulnerable communities among us, so i knew we needed to create something massive and major to build a movement and law enforcement to communities together to deal both with the tensions, to deal with the increasing office her tragedies and to increase mutual -- to engage the public with public safety. there's a lot of conversation across the country now about the need c for police reform and certainly there needs to be some reform in the use of force standards and those kind of matters but the relational reformation causing them to see the humanity and one another and work around the commonality to n
