and let's remember trump says he likes his new head of dhs. >> our new and brilliant leader at dhs, general john kelly. general kelly, by the way, has done a fantastic job. fantastic. general kelly, we have great, great people. general kelly now secretary kelly. he's really doing the job. you're seeing it. >> doing the job. well, this is part of the job. here are the facts. breaking news tonight from general kelly's dhs, a memo that was leaked to the ap. fact number one. restricting immigration solely by citizenship unlikely to predict terror attacks. fact two. the largest source of terror attacks in the u.s. are american citizens, not foreign immigrants. three, most of the countries that have sent terror attackers are not in trump's travel ban at all. fact four. most of the countries that are in trump's travel ban have never, never sent a deadly terror attacker to the united states. and fact five. most countries in trump's ban are dangerous to visit and pose a threat to neighboring countries regionally, but they are not a threat of sending attackers all the way to the u.s. the way countrie

reporter: on immigration, on the dhs memo, two parts, if i may. is one of the goals here mass deportation? mr. spicer: no. what we have to get back to is understanding a couple things. there's a law in place that says if you're in this country illegally, that we have an obligation to make sure that the people who are in our country are here legally. what the order sets out today is ensures that the million-or-so people that have been adjudicated already, that ice prioritizes, creates a system of prioritization, and makes sure that we walk through that system in a way that protects this country. this is consistent with everything the president has talked about, which is prioritizing the people who are here who represent a threat to public safety or have a criminal record. and all this does is lay out the exact procedures to make sure that that subgroup of people who pose a threat to our nation because of a conviction or a violation of public safety or have a criminal record are adjudicated first and foremost. that's it, plain and simple. reporter:

what jumps out at you from this dhs memo? >> aone is trying to get state and local law enforcement officials to become immigration officials, that's been tried well over a decade. there's 17,000 local police departments only a handful that engage in this, and one reason is of course they're pretty busy already enforcing state and local laws. number two, they want to make sure they don't put their department -- they have a fiduciary responsibility as chief and sheriff not to put their departments in the middle of a lot of protracted civil litigation involving racial profiling and also not a chilling effect for the oath they took to protect. quite frankly they need the trust of the people. >> the trust of the people. and again, on this phone call with dhs with the white house, these reporters again, with sean spicer trying to reassure there's no imminent mass deportation, again, reaffirming that the dreamers are safe. on catch and release quickly gill, it says catch and release will end. is that a change? >> no, it's not really

. >> dhs memos today, obviously, immigration enforce bement efforts cost money, hiring her agents. >>right. >> do you envision that the current budget is sufficient? >> yeah, i think right now i.c.e. and dhs in particular as well as cbp are looking at what this is going to cost and how much in putting a request together and figuring out how much can be handled through reallocation of resources and how much we can save in maybe another area but also work with -- >> [inaudible] there was an election record report out today that the president raised more small campaign donations in 2016 than either hillary clinton or bernie sanders combined. does he have a reaction to that? has he seen that? >> i don't know. that's a political matter that we generally don't discuss. yeah. >> sean -- >> yeah. >> the national -- [inaudible] citing reliable sources said the president trump administrationç do -- [inaudible] allowing kids to use a restroom with their gender identity. will the trp administration rescind that guidan? >> right now that's an issue that the department of justice and the departmen

deportations by dhs. 2009 22016. >> what president trump is doing is giving dhs a little more discretion. he is saying any criminal offense. could be a criminal offense to come in the country or be working illegally. what we are waiting to see is does this turn into something that the public sees as a deportation force that is disrupting families, communitie communities. already they have taken one important step to make sure that doesn't happen. they are leaving the dreamers alone. they are the most sympathetic illegal immigrants in the country. >> in 2014, president obama expanded the prosecutorial discretion to the leniency side in his administration. he gave the government a lot more leeway to parole illegal immigrants back into the united states. if they are here illegally, you parole them in, they are not process for removal. what trump wants to do, the ways of looking at immigration enforcement don't make sense. if you are caught within 100 miles of the border in the first 14 days of your arriving here, you can be processed under certain circumstances for expedited removal. no lon

with regard to dhs, looking at mr. roth, we have specific legislation that was meant to address that to try to attract the best and retain some good people. for both of you how is that working? are you pleased with it? is it something you think we're making progress on or not? >> go ahead. >> ant it seems like the chief officer at dhs is trying innovations with regard to hiring i.t. and cyber specialists. our plan was to let them go for a little bit before we do have a formal audit, but i think they are using this opportunity to try to hire as many as they can. >> the legislation was started back in 2014 and it was to establish some common language and job codes specific to cyber security because we had identified that as a problem that it was difficult to hire people because we had not provided this sort of standardization as to what the job descriptions were and job codes. then we got some of the legislation passed as it real estate relates to dhs. i don't know that we're making the progress we should be. when you lo

what the dhs orders mean nationwide.e're breaking it down just moments away. >>> that's just a sample of angry crowds meeting at town halls nationwide. we'll have some of the most revealing moments you don't want to miss. >>> good morning, welcome to early start, i'm boris sanchez. >> and i'm ana cabrera. thank you for joining us. concern is growing this morning among immigrants all across the country about plans for more aggressive immigration enforcement. guidance just released from the department of homeland security could pave the way for undocumented immigrants detained and deported. as secretary of state rex tillerson visit mexico city, they'll be meeting with the mexican president to discuss border security and trade. let's take a closer look at this new plan from dhs. it increases the number of immigrants who face expedited entry into the united states. and who can be released pending a hearing, so this means detention becomes the default for thousands more immigrants. that takes more resources. so the plan calls

again, i would refer you back to dhs's website that has all of that. goil. >> two questions, please. it's been one month on the job for you and for the president and you are already the talk of the town around the globe. my two questions are -- >> my wife would disagree with you. it's not always positive, too. >> it looks like, sean, the president's order is working actually, sir, around the globe because more than 60,000 pakistanis have been deported, what they said they were illegals and also threat to the country. and also at the same time pakistani government arresting hundreds of terrorists inside the country. any presidential message? >> no, i'm not going to -- there is nothing i have in terms of an update of what's going on in pakistan. i would refer you to department of state with respect to specific policies. but the broader point that you are making is i think each countries needs to look at what they need to do to control the people that are entering their country and keep their people safe. when you look at our laws in particular and compar

>> yes, we are working with dhs. we are working with the national institute of standards in technology. we are working with some private contractors to try to do penetration testings of the systems that we have. we do take that very seriously and we are trying to work with the best on that. we also by the way do employ the einstein software on our internet connections. so we are protected by that too. we work with dhs to get that in place. so we take that very see rushesly. >> thank you, mr. thompson. thank you, mr. chairman. >> senator carper. >> thanks so much. we appreciate more than you know the work that's done at gao on a lot of areas. but especially in preparing the high-risk list, and i have said for years that for me, for my staff and i, it is our to-do list, for this committee, democrats and republicans it is our to-do list. we talked about areas where progress has been made. one of those is respect to property management, real property management. will you explain why we finally got the ball into the end z

we like what the dhs did with that being allowed to at least let them use.t any use of stone garden funds that are allocated for state police agency. >> sheriff wilmont, answer, opinion in. >> yes, sir, do i. in regards to operation stone garden, obviously it's labor intensive just doing the reporting requirements as well as the purchasing of the clement that we need. another thing in regard to stone guard, you can only use so much for overtime and then you have to use so much for equipment and then so much for mileage on your vehicles. it's broken down and you can't change. at least in arizona as well as share with other counties along our borders and the state as well if they can help complement our operations, so that's where we need to keep it, dhs is more qualify today say, yes, this type of equipment is what we need for this location because, again, we can't paint that broad brush across the border. >> thank you. director, my next question is for you, when i got elected and came in last congress, we had a lengthy debate about what operational control o

sources tell my colleague jake tapper and me, and the white house made this request to dhs to bolster its case for why the seven countries listed in the travel ban should remain after it was blocked by the courts. a senior white house officials tells cnn the department of homeland security and justice department are working on an intelligence report that will demonstrate the security threat from these seven countries is substantial and these countries have been exporters of terrorism into the united states. the situation has gotten more dangerous in reseptember years and more broadly the refugee program has been a major incubator for terrorism. that according to a senior white house official talking to my colleague jake tapper. this report was requested in light of the court of appeals conclusion that the trump administration pointed to no evidence as to why citizens from those seven countries pose a threat. cnn learned current rank and final intelligence officials have concerned about this assignment. >> they're concerned about it for a number of reasons. what is their key concern ab

of course dhs gave a full briefing on these memos this morning. but just a previous summers a few of the facts. the memo regarding the executive order enhancing public safety in the interior of the united states outlined several practices and policies in order to strengthen the efficient and faithful execution of this countries immigration laws. that includes hiring more ice agents and officers as well as additional mission support and legal staff necessary to support their activities. this memo directs the establishment of victims of immigration crime engagement office within ice fulfilling another major campaign promise of the president. this office will facilitate the engagement with victims and the film is to ensure that their questions and concerns regarding immigration enforcement efforts are addressed. the memo regarding executive order border security and immigration enforcement improvements outlined the step the dhs will take to secure the nations southern border, prevent further illegal immigration and to repatriate illegal immigrants sw

again, i would refer you to dhs for further comment on these specific memos. there are fact sheets and question and answers on the web site that address many of the intricacies and areas within each of these executive orders that you may have questions on. also this weekend, the present had calls with the president of park panama and the prime minister of trinidad baguio. we have to read out the both of those calls. this weekend, they had a lot of progress on the plan to repeal and replace obamacare to make sure it is replaced with a system that works for all americans peered back to the president's schedule today in honor of black history month, he started his day by visiting the national museum of african-american history and culture. the museum opened last september it has really become one of washington's most visited attractions. the president was joined by a group of individuals that include his daughter, dr. ben carson and his wife, senator tim scott, alveda king, the niece of martin luther king jr., the museum director lonnie bunche, dr. david, the sec

abby: it comes just hours after the dhs unveils a tough new stance on targeting criminal illegals. griff jenkins latest with the latest on immigration crack-down. griff, good morning. >> you're right, a hard stance with new dhs compliance to address the problem. it includes prioritizing the removal of criminal aliens, hiring 10,000 new ice agents and 5,000 border patrol agents expanding the 287g program which allows local police to act as immigration agents. they will start building that border wall and they will end the catch and release policy of recent years. in speaking exclusively last night to martha macallum, steven miller say that is revised executive order is coming. >> because of the situation and the need to protect our country and to protect our citizens, the president is going to be issuing a new executive action based off of the judicial ruling, flawed it may be, to keep people safe and that's going to be coming very soon. >> this is nothing more than a plan for mass foration. senate minority leader chuck schumer issued the statement saying, quote, no matter how much

department of homeland security announced criminal illegal immigrants are now the top priority and dhs had issued new guidelines calling for the hiring of 10,000 immigration and customs enforcement agents and another 5000 border patrol agents. >> we have to have a safe country. we have to let people -- lou: we will talk to radio talkshow host michael gallagher and political analyst gail trotter also to my president trump stands over religious freedom in a tour of the national museum of african-american history and culture. >> this is a meaningful reminder of why we have to fight bigotry, intolerance and hatred in all of its very ugly forms. we'll take up the presence calls for unity with pastor robert jefferson president trump this week offered high praise for ambassador bolton. >> john bolton we are asking to work with us in a somewhat different capacity. john is a terrific guy and we had really good meetings with him. he knows a lot and has a good number of ideas that i agree very much with. lou: ambassador john bolton is my special guest tonight. good evening everybody. president tr

also dhs will add 5,000 more border patrol agents and add 10,000 more i.c.e. agents while ramping up the 287g program to recruit local help. this is enforcement of existing policy says the white house. >> is one of the goals here mass deportation? >> no. the message from this white house and from the dhs is that those people who are in this country impose a threat to our public safety or who committed a crime will be the first to go. and we'll be aggressively making sure that occurs. remember, everyone who is here illegally is subject to removal at any time. that is consistent with every countrot just ours. if you're in this country in an illegal manner, then obviously there's a provision that can ensure you'll be removed. >> there's push-back in chicago where the public school system instructed principals not to allow i.c.e. agents into the classroom without criminal warrants. but so far dhs canceled all obama-era executive orders except the one issued in 2012 to allow those who came to america as children to stay here. yesterday the president told craig melv

office of intelligence and analysis at the homeland security department, the intelligence agency at dhs, turns out they did do a report on the muslim ban. th did do a report on whether the muslim ban makes sense. on whether banning travel to the united states by people who hold passports from those seven muslim countries, whether that makes sense. they did it. they looked into it. they got that assignment from the white house, they should look into whether or not that policy makes sense on national security grounds and produced the report on the suggest. it is three pages long and it finds that no, the travel ban does not make sense on national security grounds. and we'll put the document on screen in just a second. but here's the thing to know about the scandal nature about the politics of this right now. the churn and the political fistfight and scan dmal this right now. and the trouble that the new administration has that is coming from inside the house the department of homeland security has been taken over by the trump folks. there's a trump homeland security, they've brought in tr

. >> memos from the dhs secretary break down what the president's xaektive order means on the street. like 10,000 new i.c.e. agents, 5,000 customs and border patrol agents and who those agents will arrest. >> it makes me feel really angry that everyday people are being targeted with violence and at the same time being accused of violence. >> reporter: she's a community organizer with new sanctuary movement and she has family members in the u.s. who are undocumented. >> i makes everybody deportable and more and more people immediately deportable. >> reporter: the direction from the dhs secretary does say those who have been convicted of or charged with a crime should be prioritized for removal, but it also says no classes are exempt anymore. and dhs is looking to expand a program that allows local law enforcement and participating agencies to be designated as immigration officers. it's something that concerns a staff attorney with the pennsylvania aclu. >> when local law enforcement acts as an arm of immigration, it inevitably leads to racial and ethnic profiling. it's very hard to det

apparently analysts within the intelligence agency and dhs didn't follow instructions, they produced an independent report that said quite the opposite of that. it appears as we piece together this reporting from a.p. and "washington post" that the trump officials inside dhs spiked that report, wanted not to release it and now these intelligence analysts or somebody who had access to their work released it to the press instead in order to get around administration officials trying to disappear that report. does that make you feel worried about that kind of a leak? do you feel that leek is heroic? is it somewhere in between? >> i'm ambivalent about it, of course. government by leak is no way to run a government but you've gotten a awful lot of very patriotic people in places like nsa and cia and fbi who have been vilified by this president. before he got sworn in he was drawing comparisons to the intelligence community and nazi germany. this morning on twitter he attacked the fbi brutally. these are people working for these agencies. they take their jobs seriously. they are about floa

again, i would refer you to dhs for further comment on these specific memos.re are fact sheets and q & a's on the dhs website that address many of the intrick assays and areas within the areas of the executive orders that you might have questions on. also this weekend, the president had calls with the president of panama and the prime minister of trinidad and tobago. read-outs of those calls have been provided. the president's team this weekend also had a very productive meeting on the president's plan to repeal and replace obama care and insure that it is replaced with a system that works for all americans. back to the president today in honor of black history no, the president started his day by visiting the national museum of african-american history and culture. the museum opened last september and has quickly become one of wash wish's most visited attractions. the was joined by a group of individuals that included his daughter ivanka, doctor ben carson, and his wife, senator tim scott, alveda king, the niece of dr. martin luther king junior, museum direct

dhs this week

let's talk about when you were with dhs for four years. how well are these refugees vetted? for having me, andrea and for covering the story. i would say that they are under extreme vetting as president trump has already pointed out, and actually very much so from the seven banned countries in particular. syria and iraq and iran for that matter are well documented populations, and they go through extensive interviewing through several different organization, even before it gets to a dhs officer or refugee officer. so i would say that the vetting procedure is fairly extreme for most refugees. >> the president has just tweeted again on the subject and the subject of the court case, and he's tweeted "big increase in traffic into our country from certain areas while our people are fa are more vulnerable, as we wait for what should be easy d" meaning decision, clearly. he's putting pressure on the court saying the risk is increasing as we wait for this decision. from your, colleagues and now no long we are dhs, but you have this experience over four years there, reporting in from

it was in dhs, then moved to fema. the funding didn't change, just who administrates it. >> thank you. the last question, wilmot, you mentioned a number of deaths in the desert. can you elaborate on what you said and how that prevention occurred? what was it that caused prevention? >> as i stated in the beginning of my testimony in 2005, 2006, yuma county was the worst in the nation in regards it cross border traffic as well as criminal element that so much accompanies it. and we were experiencing, unfortunately, having to go out into the desert sometimes on a weekly morely basis to recover those victims that were abandoned by the smugglers out in the desert. we as sheriffs, we are the ones that have to respond out there. whether it's federal land, state land, we have to prs says those crime scenes. and our officers were going out there, as i've stated, if not weekly or monthly, to recover those victims that were left out there abandoned to die. >> what prevented that? >> the deterrent factor, between the partnerships

what dhs trying to do now, essentially trying to insure those that pose a threat to public safety andthose illegal immigrants who committed crimes are the priority for dhs, legal enforcement officers to go after at the border. the memos spell out that 15,000 more agents will be put at the border between customs and border patrol and immigrations and customs enforcement. which led to a question at the press briefing this afternoon, who will pay for all of that. take a listen here to spicer. >> right now i.c.e. and dhs in particular as well as cpb are looking hat this is going to cost and how much in putting a request together. and figuring out how much can be handled through allocation of resources and how much we save in another area and also work with congress. reporter: david, these memos fell out an end to what is known as catch-and-release at the border. david: great stuff. thanks, blake. melissa. melissa: here is pal babeu, former pinal county, arizona, sheriff. there is nothing new here. that president obama had very similar laws on the books and there is nothing dramatic about

kelly, what's the reaction from the white house over this dhs draft leak? >> reporter: yes, to give people a sense of what this is about, we were also able to obtain this three-page report from the department of homeland security. it is taking an assessment about the president's seven-country travel ban that affects mostly muslim countries and limits immigration from those countries. this report finds that those people with that citizenship from those seven countries are not any more likely to be responsible for terrorism inside the u.s. now, the white house is telling me that this is an incomplete report, that it was based on what's known as open sources, meaning publicly available information, not classified information, and that a more comprehensive report is still to come that will include that kind of data intelligence and would not be political. so i believe that the white house is saying that while this report could be part of the end result, it is not the outcome that they expect when the president gets what they call a threat assessment from the in

that executive order, these dhs memos as well.way, neil, the national security council meeting with the president later this afternoon, 4:00 that is scheduled inside the situation room. neil? neil: all right. by the way with, you are becoming very quickly a rock star, right? getting called on more questions. how's that going down with your colleagues? are they dealing with that? >> reporter: they look at me and say, what's your name, kid? i'm like, yeah, i'm blake. nice to be here. neil: you go. blake burman, always look forward to it. >>> in the meantime, that white house briefing moments from now, also how we aim to make this nation safer. part of it is clamping down on all the leaks. easier said than done, after this. ♪ ♪ neil: all right, you know, the dow is about 289 points from 21,000, i just thought i'd mention that. i can't believe that, but that's what it is. so this market that soars under anticipation of tax cuts, regulatory relief, you name it. some say priced to perfection, some say it could go a lot, lot higher. that

everything we do in dhs will be done legally and according to human rights and the legal justice system of the united states. all deportations will be according to our legal justice system, which is extensive and includes multiple appeals. >> reporter: and, so, that is what with the foreign minister was waiting to hear. really that's what mexico has been waiting to hear, saying that that was a top priority. by the way, jake, at this very hour, the secretaries are meeting with president enrique pena nieto. one of the moments i found very telling that was off-camera was when kelly and the secretary of government here in mexico began to approach the podium. you saw kelly sort of pat his back and there was even an exchange of laughter. so, clearly they are somewhat getting along and willing to work together. what we have to now wait and see is if their presidents will be able to do the same. >> all right, leila santiago live for us in mexico city. leila, thank you so much. >>> the white house is asking the departments of homeland security and justice to find evident to back up its claim tha

>> yes, i got a call from the head of the dhs transition team about 7:15 that friday night. >> and can you tell us what that person said? >> it's along the lines of what it is that you summarize which was that i would be allowed to stay through the change in administrations, but that would be temporary and that he had assumed i was already in the process of looking for another job. >> did the trump official indicate that they had any concerns about your performance? >> no, they did not. >> how long is your current term supposed to go? >> i serve at the pleasure of the president. so i can be removed at any time by the president with obviously three days notice to congress. >> and so were you surprised by the call? i mean, what was your reaction? >> yes, i was surprised by the god-given sort of the tradition that inspectors general are not removed from office typically or historically. so i immediately, immediately of course called michael horowitz and pulled him out of a hockey game on friday night to report this information. >> was he playing or what?
