and that's what dhs is doing.ut -- this was announced back in june, and this is what -- how we are moving forward and you heard directly from the president. his stance on the border wall has not changed. he does not believe it is effective. he's been very clear about that. again, your colleague asked him directly and his answer was no. >> has the government already contracted for this project? >> i don't have any news about contracts for this project or how it's moving forward. i would have to refer you to dhs on that. >> are you expecting the speech to be early next week. >> i don't have anything new to share on the ukraine speech specifically. but look, the president was very clear, he wants to give a major speech on this, and so when we have more information certainly we will share it. and you've heard me say this multiple times, you heard the president say this, there is strong bipartisan support from both chambers for protecting our national security by backing ukraine as they continue to fight for their demo

finally, dhs is using ai to make air travel easier and safer. tsa has started rolling out touchless pre-check and select airports. a new, optional way of going to the airport curb to gate without ever taking out your wallet. once you opt in, you can check your bag, go through the security checkpoint and board your flight all with just a quick photo. this process and tsa's acceptance of mobile driver's licenses in seven states and counting, use thoroughly tested ai powered algorithms to save time, reduce physical touch points and increase security by verifying identity more accurately. while i've highlighted these three examples today, dhs will use ai to transform all parts of our operation, from detecting and mitigating cyber security vulnerabilities, to enhancing maritime search and rescue operations and far beyond. ai will provide smarter and timelier information to our agents and officers to aid them in making decisions, and free them up from routine tasks to focus on higher value work. as we move forward, we will ensure that our use of ai is

marshall: will dhs and when will dhs disclose the origin of countries of people arrested by border patrol on the terrorist watch list? sec. mayorkas: could you repeat the question? sen. marshall: could dhs disclose the country a portion of people arrested by border patrol on the terrorist watch list? sec. mayorkas: if you're referring to the terrorist screening data set, i would be pleased to speak with you in the appropriate context. this would not be it. sen. marshall: how many got a ways did you report in 2023? sec. mayorkas: i believe that number is over 600,000. the phenomenon of got aways has been a challenge for the department of homeland security for decades. it is a powerful example of a broken immigration system. sen. marshall: i am with you cap about chinese nationals. would you agree over 18,000 chinese nationals, many young men, have a legally crossed the border -- illegally crossed the border in 2023? sec. mayorkas: i don't have the precise numbers but individuals encountered are placed into immigration enforcement proceedings and if they qualify for asylum -- sen. marshall:

i do know there are probably members of the dhs watching this. enqueue for that and all of you you who are here. for the dhs folks tracking this hearing, you make very specific requests about numbers in the past. we have yet to get them in a timely manner. we have made a request for special interests alien briefings to get details. we have yet to get that briefing. senator murphy and i have asked for additional information about those who appeared in the delegation of authority. we have yet to get that. he asked for a specific briefing on circumvention of lawful pathways because that is new as a process and have yet to get that. again, none of you are responsible but i do want to put out that this is been an ongoing frustration that we have literally seen as many people cross in less than three years that we have 12 but we ask questions process over how is this working, what is happening, how to we get numbers, we are not getting them. i am grateful that you are able to walk through the process. i want to skip to one question we have, kyrsten sin

the dhs secretary or the president? that went unanswered, peter doocy did not get a question, not yet, ongoing, and edward lawrence in the room. we'll continue to monitor it. >> john: as i sent a note to peter alexander from nbc, former colleague, who read out the statement to karine jean-pierre saying good on you for presenting the facts to her. doocy is up. >> appropriated in 2019. he said there will not be another foot of wall constructed in my administration. something changed, what. >> you want us to break the law. not comply with the law. you want us to not be an administration that follows the rule of law. >> you do this all the time, the student loan forgiveness program, you went to court to fight for that. if this is such a problem, building 20 miles of wall, why not just go to court. >> we went to congress. congress appropriates the funding, we asked them to not use the funding for that particular purpose they denied it and now we are complying with the law. >> if you have to build a border wall but you don't

but president biden today appeared to contradict his own dhs secretary. >> do you believe the border wall works? >> no. >> reporter: insisting his administration is not building more wall because of the surge in migrants, but because they were required by law to spend money congress allocated during the trump administration >> i have to use money for what it was appropriated for i can't stop it. >> a direct contradiction to what his own -- >> i hear you, i hear you. i'm speaking for the president. he has said he does not believe a border wall is effective. >> reporter: late today, this from the dhs secretary traveling in mexico city. >> there is no new administration policy with respect to the border wall. >> reporter: still, it comes after the president repeatedly slammed the wall and former president trump during the campaign. >> there will not be another foot of wall constructed in my administration >> reporter: tonight, mr. trump arguing he has been proven right, posting, "there are only two things that have consistently worked wheels and walls will joe biden apologize to me and

it's not dhs.s congress, the one who has to legislate and create a piece of paper, legislation, that will solve from "a" to "z." because these are just little patches. don't you see it? now after three years they're desperate. what are we going to do, oh, my god, let's go back to what the former president created. you see it's all politics. that's why in congress, we need to be serious and create legislation that will solve the problem once and for all. >> you did introduce that bipartisan dignity act. it is not gotten a whole lot of traction. i think part of it has to do with specifically members of your party being opposed to reworking the asylum system to make it more accessible. is that something that you've brought up in conversations over who should become the next speaker? >> it's both parties that need to educate themselves and understand what is it that we need. it's the democrats that need to understand that, first, for the first time, they have agreed that the border needs to be secured.

tonight, a dhs assessment team is here in the city. lester? >> julia ainsley, thank you. >>> this was a devastating day in ukraine, where officials say a russian missile killed more than 50 people. richard engel with late details. >> reporter: a huge russian missile effectively wiped this tiny village off the matt today, flattening what was main street in roza, eastern ukraine. there is hardly a trace of the grocery and coffee shop that were here. residents say there were only 330 people living in the village. in an instant, more than 50 were killed. relatives from the surrounding areas rushed over as soon as they could search for loved ones. valeria looking for her mother, says the villagers were holding a memorial for a soldier when the missile hit. "there was a coffee shop here," she says. ukraine's president zelenskyy called today's attack a deliberate and brutal act of terrorism. while at an economic forum in russia, president putin took no responsibility for any of this. he claimed russia did not start the war in ukraine, just the opposi

yesterday the dhs inserted into the federal register.here is need to construct physical barriers and roads in the vicinity of the border the united states inrd to prevent unlawful entries into the united states. hold on, does biden agree with his own dhs that we need to finish the law? no, of course not. no, it is all phony media stunt. here is some more proof. listen to this and weep. president biden: one question on the border wall. border wall money was appropriated for border wall. i tried to get them to reappropriate, redirect that money. they didn't, they wouldn't. meantime there is nothing under the law other than they have to use the money for what it was appropriated before. i can't stop that. >> do you believe the border wall works? president biden: no. larry: there you go, there you go. mayorkas and other administrative people are harping on the need, i love this, to waive 26 federal laws, 26 federal laws, including the clean air act, safe drinking water act and endangered species act. imagine that, laws. now one federal law t

. >> just based on what dhs has put out there, it doesn't seem like the white house and dhs are seeingye to eye on this issue. >>> we're joined by cnn political director david chalian. david, as is so often the case, you have what the candidate says on the campaign trail and then when they're in office, something different happens. that really sums up what the situation is with biden. let's revisit what he said on the 2020 campaign trail. >> trump campaigned on build that wall. are you willing to tear that wall down? >> there will not be another foot of wall constructed in my administration. >> reporter: the president also said today that former presidents have said to him that they wished they had built a wall. do you recall -- >> not a single one -- i can't think of a single one who said that. we need border security, but that's not the border security we need. >> reporter: so candidate biden says no new wall. now we learn today the white house is clearing the way for new wall construction. yet president biden says walls don't work. the dhs secretary says there's an acute need for th

dhs secretary mayorkas said yesterday those statements were taken out of context. have to look at this as a whole picture. these border numbers have been going up and the ground has shifted in terms of politics on this from the democratic perspective, when you have governor j.b. pritzker, a staunch biden ally calling the situation in his state untenable, and that the federal government, he says, should be doing more, ana. >> on one hand you have some of those democrats saying not enough is being done. on the other hand you have other democrats saying what is being done is perhaps cruel in some way. gabe, we know secretary blinken and mayorkas were in mexico this week, and obviously that is a key partner, that country's key partner with this administration in dealing with the surge of migrants. what's the message there? >> yeah, ana, the secretary of state blinken as well as the dhs secretary mayorkas were in mexico this week, and they're trying to present a united front with mexican officials skprgs they spoke about a range of topics including a gun and drug traffi

we are required -- dhs is required to comply by the law. that's what we're doing here. >> i want to bring in lulu garcia navarro, a "new york times" host. you were the reporter who pressed then candidate biden about this. i want to remind our viewers what it was exactly that he told you. >> campaigned on build that wall. are you willing to tear that wall down? >> no, i'm -- there will not be another foot of wall constructed in my administration. i'm going make sure that we have border protection, but it's going to be based on making sure that we use high-tech capacity to deal with it. >> given how forceful that he was in that answer to you then, what do you make of then versus what he's doing now? >> i think there's that old adage, never say never. and i think what we're seeing now is precisely that. he was very clear that he was not going to build any barrier on the southern border. and of course what we're seeing now is the plan to make about 18 miles of -- 18 to 20 miles of new border fencing. it's going to be about 18 -- sorry, 18 feet

. >> biden is contradicting his dhs secretary who is gutting environmental regulations to build a wall. puts the white house in a tough spotted and has him spinning. team biden can't anger or give credit. >> your colleague asked him he said no he doesn't believe. >> that's a direct contradiction. >> i'm speak for the president. this is something we will require by law and are complying. this is an administration that believes in the rule of law. dhs is required to comply by the law. >> he said there will not be another foot of wall constructed in my administration so something changed. what? >> you want us to break the law. is that what you want? congress proceed praitsz the funding. >> claiming he did not contradict biden he says walls are not the answer n. the next paragraph he admits they're being forced to build one. trump is gorging on biden's flip-flop, saying. liberal cities are crying uncle fed up with migrants flooding their city. >> the simple solution is no. turn the buses around. >> it's becoming a unity of black people where we get the low scraps. you want to put us at the

while dhs secretary mayorkas wrote in the agency's notice that the ongoing influx of migrants across the southern border presents the need to build new barrier, president biden provided a different rationale on thursday. >> the border wall money was appropriated for the border wall i tried to get them to redirect at that money. they didn't. they wouldn't. and in the meantime, there's nothing under the law other they have to use the money for what it was appropriated. i can't stop that. >> do you believe the border wall works >> no. >> reporter: biden had repeatedly promised to not build any more of the border wall if elected. the project was a corner stone of the trump presidency. now this prompted trump to call for an apology from biden on truth social thursday, over quote, taking so long to get moving on construction of the wall thursday also saw the biden administration announce that it would be resuming direct deportation flights for venezuelan migrants that they say unlawfully crossed the border it cops lemes less than a monthe dhs granted temporary protected status for thousand

. >> in the meantime i want to focus on dhs. are you concerned ai systems as they become more mature and complicated terminals were greater opportunity to commit heinous crimes like child exportation? >> we absolutely are concerned there. we are also looking to harness ai to combat those crimes. i shared earlier our work with homeland security investigations and operation we hope we can use ai to help rescue victims from active abuse as well as to arrest suspected perpetrators. so as we are looking to better defend against the use of ai to commit these crimes we are also using it to defending against them. >> the protections have to be built as the same time as all of the fruits of the what i i can bring us. our most vulnerable i believe are those most likely to be harmed by a lot of this ai technology. if you can expand the scope and include american adversaries unleashing powerful cyber attacks against you is critical systems. what is dhs doing in preparation to respond? >> we are and have been concerned about adversarial use

we are complying by the law, dh.s compliant by the la w.il he said there will not be another foot of wall constructe during my administration so something changed. wan >> wants to build a wall. >> is that what he wants? >> congress allocates the funding. we ask them to not use that funding for that particular purpose, they denied it and now we are complying with the law. >> just forced to put out a statement moments ago saying he did not contradict biden. it so confusing. he says walls are not the answer , yelst in the next nextparagraph he says they're s to build one. meanwhile trump is gorging on the border flip-flopping so o interesting to watch crooked jo biden break any environmental if law in the book to prove i was right. will joe biden apologized to me and america? while trump waits for biden to bend the knee, chicago resident are fed up with migrants flooding their city.g impl >> the simple solution is no, turn the buses around.blac >> they come into a community o black people when they get the little scraps

and, we are required to do this, we are required, the dhs is required to comply by the law, that is what doing here. >> i want to bring in lulu garcia -- a new york times host who interviewed biden on the border wall, and talk about this issue, as he was a candidate. lulu, you are the reporter, who of course pressed then candidate biden about this. i want to remind our viewers what it was exactly, that he told you. >> trump campaigned on build that wall. are you willing to tear that wall down? >> no, there will not be another foot of wall constructed in my administration. i'm going to make sure that we have border protection, but it's going to be based on making sure that we use high tech capacity to deal with it. >> given how forceful that he was, in that answer to you, what do you make of then, versus what he is doing now? >> i think there is that old adage, never say never. and, i think what we are seeing now is precisely that. he was very clear, that he was not going to build any barrier, on the southern border. and of course, what we are seeing now is that plan to make about 18 mile

rich: for more on this, joining me now is former acting dhs secretary chad wolf. mr. going on down there and how do border patrol, cvp make sure that they have an understanding or an idea who is crossing into the united states? >> well, look, i think the border just continues to be wide open and it has been since day one of this administration. and what the border patrol has to do now, whether it's the 70,000 special interest aliens or over 260 known or suspected terrorists, they obviously need to apprehend them, they need to interrogate them and vet them. it's very, very difficult to do when you have thousands and millions of migrants coming across the border every week and month and having to process them as well. the same border patrol agents doing both. the more you allow this open border policy and strategy that this administration has embarked on, the less and less safe it makes our country. and so, those 70,000 special interest aliens, my guess is the vast majority of them even though they've undergone vetting have been released into the interior of the country

does biden agree with his own dhs that we need to finish the wall? no, of course not. it's t all phony media stunt. here's some more proof. listen to this and weep. >> i'll answer one question on the border wall. the border wall, the money was appropriated for the border wall. i tried to get them to reappropriate, redirect that money. they didn't, they wouldn't. and in the meantime, there's nothing other to the wall -- >> reporter: do you believe a border wall worksesome. >> no. larry: well, there you go. there you go. anyway, mayorkas and other administrative people are harping on the need, i love this, to waive 26 federal laws including the clean air act, safe drinking water act and endangered species act. imagine that. laws. now, the one federal law that they're not worried about breaking is the law that protects our borders by preventing illegal entries. or the laws that protect americans' sovereignty. they've been breaking those laws for three years. i don't hear anybody talking about that. meanwhile, in an interview with our brooke singman of fox digital the, for

dhs is a right to use those funds for that purpose.is what is interesting, what has changed? i tell you what has changed, american people are sick and tired of seeing their cities overrun, their hospitals fall, their schools are full, the police having to deal with illegals who they do not have any background, no information on them, they put themselves at physical risk and it is really an insult. the biden administration is totally doing this for power and if they were really serious, they would call up really serious, they would call up the military and stopped everybody from crossing. it would not be that hard to do. president trump built over 200 miles of wall so you have to stop them at the point of entry and, you know, it is an insult to him to say it did not work for now to say it didn't work. i do not put any stock in what he says and whether he would actually do it. i was actually other, this deals underground, the contractors are being paid to do nothing. it is an insult but we see what happens. we also spoke with democratic

this is fiscal year 2019 under republican leadership and dhs is required to do this they have askedo re- appropriate they did not we are complying. >> jesse: he complies except when he accepts bribes. >> thrust the time he is a secular the left is uncomfortable with how smoothly society operates without input feeling left out and to micromanage the country like a communist jacket -- -- academic with experiments exploding nationwide an election around the corner we expect to see some more border wall maybe a little more police to quietly remove pronouns -- -- pronouns for social media profiles but too late they are insane and the country has had it with this ridiculous stuff than the left knows it here now is host from life liberty and the vision very busy on the weekends now and author of the democratic party hates america you got right to the point with a book title what is going on with joe biden? >> not a lot between the ears that is for sure. joe biden has obviously a group of advisers who are running the government we know he gets a lot of advice from left-wing historians and f

. >> yeah, that's what you're hearing from dhs secretary alejandro mayorkas as this administration tries to contain the fallout from those -- that increased -- those increased numbers of illegal border crossings that we have seen rise in the last several months. but, again, the white house says that also because this was the end of the fiscal year that, you know, this process that the -- since congress set aside that money in 2019, that you need to waive the environmental laws to get this construction done. certainly reaction pouring in from certain environmental groups that say this is a bad idea and should not be done, jose. >> and, gabe, has there been any reaction from anyone on capitol hill? >> so far we're still looking for the reaction, but as i mentioned, there is a environmental group, there has been one down in texas, saying this is a horrific step backwards for the borderlands, jose. >> and meantime, guad, a federal hearing is happening as we speak over the floating barriers, those buoys in the rio grande river? >> that's correct. so floating barriers that were installed by st

dhs and the white house are convinced that they're mandated to build this wall. i think the bigger issue and the broader concern here is that we do not have a -- an immigration policy, a national policy on how we're going to solve the huge challenges that are happening not just here in the u.s., but certainly across central america and south america. the president on day one introduced an immigration policy to the congress when he was in office. there's many bills in congress that republicans in the house choose not to bring up. even within our own committee and within homeland security. we have tried to fund additional programs. we tried to fund organizations on the ground. bring in other non-profits. we're trying to expand programs across central and south america where migrants can seek help in their own home countries. but there's -- we need to do a comprehensive plan across the country. it does not exist. the fact that we've not passed major immigration reform in this country since the 1980s is a shame. i'm an immigrant myself. i came here when i was a young

senator josh hawley confronted major cans cat over a dhs -- mayorkas over a dhs worker posting an imagerael, saying yea, hamas. let's get your reaction. >> an employee of the department of homeland security who posted these comments on october the 7th. that's not all she posted. she also posted this graphic. now, this is a fake graphic, i want to be clear, but i think we understand it. this is a paraglider, a hamas paraglider, depicted here with a machine gun flying into israel. she posted it under her online alias with the celebratory free palestine. >> one of things i'd like to say to you. number one, your question to suggest that that is emblematic of the men and women of the department of homeland security is despicable. >> i'm sorry, what have you -- this person works for the department of homeland security. have you fired her? you have employees who are celebrating genocide is, and you are saying it's despicable for many to ask the question? elizabeth: senator, when you heard, when you saw that, what was your reaction? >> well, i was in shock as well, and i would just encourage th

what's the story with the legal challenges to cbp1 that's a case called texas versus -- >> texas versus dhs. before judge drew tipton down in texas and that's a challenge bit the state of texas to the haiti and cuba parole program and congress changed the law back in 1996 in order to curb parole abuses like the ones that the biden administration is -- engaging in. so judge tipton is almost going to found for the states and vacate that program. probably the biden administration will go to the fifth circuit and ask for a stay of that order. i mean i'm just telling how it's going to go. they're going to ask for stay of the order and that's going to be denied and the biden administration is a going to the supreme court for a stay in probably deny the stay but probably grant before judgment. basically jump over the fifth circuit and send this to the justices. the recent decision in texas versus the united states why it stuck in my mind, the -- supreme court said states don't have the ability to challenge arrest and detention of aliens but if the biden administration were to give benefits to alie

dhs secretary mayorkas announced the government will waive 26 sektsz of the borer wall in texas whereng out of control citing a need. dhs says there have been over 245,000 migrant encounters in the rio grande val sector this fiscal year. the most amazing part all 245,000 migrants came out of one nissan. mayorkas said earlier walls are not answer. yet in the next paragraph admits they're being forced to build one. when asked about the new wall kgp said three words over and over. >> that we were required by law and complying. this is an administration that believes in the rule of law and we have to comply by law. that is a law that we are complying. so we are complying with law. now we have to comply by law. >> i think her main objective here is to make kamala sound smart. i haven't seen a reversal like that since joe behar agreed to use deodorant. joe said not another foot of wall to be built in his administration. >> campaign on build that wall are you willing to tear that wall down? >> there will not be another foot of wall constructed in my administration. >> so much for that. fact

all were asking dhs to do is tell us where these people are, who they are, what they're doing, are theytill in the country, where they caught, released, we don't want to be asleep like israel was when hamas attacked israel. trey: you know senator, you are a doctor, i could not make it through bath and science so i went to law school. i'm trying to understand the other argument. i'm trying to understand alejandro mayorkas and they were not to give you the names. i can't think of why, has he ever said looks editor were docketed tell you about the encounters for the following reasons. what is explanation? >> there is not an explanation, that's why we asked for a resolution of no confidence back in april for secretary mayorkas hoping the house would go through a process to impeach him. but again the big thing joe biden wants the 8000 people crossing the border illegally, he thinks they are future votes for the democrat party, he wants the crisis and it's hard for me to understand why in the middle of the situation, the crisis in israel that he would try to rebel leverage everybody in ukrain

>> we have an incompetent secretary and dhs and of course joe biden wants this open border but it's a day when our enemies pay more attention to our border than our own president does. to your point we've encountered over 170 terrorist on the terrorist watch list in the past year. in the past two years thousands of people on the alien watch list as well, 2000 chinese nationalists on the watchlist as cross the border as well. all were asking dhs to do is tell us where these people are, who they are, what they're doing, are they still in the country, where they caught, released, we don't want to be asleep like israel was when hamas attacked israel. trey: you know senator, you are a doctor, i could not make it through bath and science so i went to law school. i'm trying to understand the other argument. i'm trying to understand alejandro mayorkas and they were not to give you the names. i can't think of why, has he ever said looks editor were docketed tell you about the encounters for the following reasons. what is explanation? >> there is not an explanation, that's why we asked for a re

dhs secretary now says, "there is presently an acute and immediate need to construct physical barriersn the vicinity of the border. really kind of a clumsy way of saying we need to build trump's wall fast. so, to be clear, tuesday the border is secure. wednesday we need a wall. except president biden says we don't need a wall. that walls don't work and he is only building it because the money has already been allocated. his hand is being forced. i guess he is also being forced to wave 26 federal laws to get it done. during this election you will hear a lot more about border security or bs as common sense calls it. because migrants and bs just continue to flow. let's bring in john yu and kaitlyn roe republican candidate for congress in california, welcome to you both. john, it appears joe biden is suddenly arguing his presidential power here is somewhat limited. what do you think? >> this just shows how backwards the biden administration has the presidency. the constitution gives the president the primary duty of protecting the country, protecting our security, you would think that woul

>> what i can say is that there is a law that the dhs is complying with.believe in the rule of law and that's what we're moving forward with. >> there is truth there, in 2019 under president trump congress appropriated funds specifically for border construction in the rio grande valley, nearly $200 million had to be used for the project by the end of the fiscal year that just ended on september 30th. so essentially it was use it or lose it. that's the argument we heard yesterday from president biden in the oval office. >> the border wall money was appropriated for the border wall. i trying to get them to reappropriate to redirect that money. they didn't. they wouldn't. and in the meantime there's nothing under the law other than they have to use the money for what it was appropriated for. i can't stop that. >> do you believe the border wall works? >> no. >> well, in theory if you don't believe a border wall works you could have let that money go unspent, right? president biden reiterated that stance again today from the oval office. we should note the pres

that is what keeps people in the fbi and dhs awake every night, worrying about, i know, from my many years running the fbi counterterrorism division that those are the folks that you're most concerned about. it's the threat that you know is here, but you don't know exactly who it is. >> yeah, just discomforting for so many people tonight. andrew mccabe, thank you for joining us tonight. >> thanks, kaitlan. >> and we continue to follow the tense situation playing out tonight in gaza as there major concerns, potentially a ground invasion by israeli forces. what does a humanitarian corridor look like if there is one? our special cnn live coverage continues in just a moment. c'mon, we're right there. c'mon baby. it's the only we need. go, go, go, go! ah! touchdown baby! -touchdown! are your neighbors watching the same game? yeah, my 5g home internet delays the game a bit. but you get used to it. try these. they're noise cancelling earmuffs. i stole them from an airport. it's always something with you, man. great! solid! -greek salad? exactly! don't delay the game with verizon or t-mobile

developed disinformation, the fbi countered the hunter biden laptop story in the name of disinformation, dhs opened up about disinformation. the idea that israel would wait more than 10 days before launching a ground assault into gaza, just so that way innocent palestinian civilians could be evacuated, then they would bomb a hospital? it never made sense. let's not forget the forensic evidence, not only the relief called between hamas operatives saying the rocket fell into the hospital, hamas announcing 10 minutes before the launch they were going to send out a bomb, and yet everyone ran with it anyway. goes to show where the priors are, not outright j genocideal - it shows what her henned goal for the jews is, she has a final solution. maria: this fired up the demonstrators. demonstrators, more than 300 pro palestinian demonstrators were arrested at the capitol yesterday. the group swarmed the rotunda, demanding a cease fire between israel and hamas. three people were charged with assaulting a police officer. >> january 6th, right,. >> i've been informed that i could get 22 years in prison.

dhs issued this warning to law enforcement, quote, escalations in the on going war between israel andt certainly will increase the threat of terrorism and targeted violence. our nick watt has that reporting from los angeles. good morning, nick. >> reporter: good morning. well, poppy, you mentioned the threat, the threat, the tension rising transferred here to this country from the middle east during what's going on. now, many jewish americans i've spoken to say they're really not feeling the support and sympathy they hope they would get in the wake of october 7th. the largest loss of jewish life in a single day since the holocaust. instead of sympathy and support, many feel vilified and scared. >> palestine will be free. >> reporter: americans from many walks of life showing support for the people of gaza. meanwhile, it's largely just jews at the very few demonstrations in support of the israeli civilians who were tortured and slaughtered october 7th and for the more than 200 taken hostage and still held by hamas terrorists inside gaza. some jews who marched, for example, for black li

this was announced in june by dhs. so we believe there are better effective ways of moving forward to secure our border. we have continuously asked for congress to act to provide our cbp, law enforcement at the border, to give them the resources they need to do their jobs, and so we will continue to call on congress. we believe, and the president has been clear, when you ask him does a border wall work, he says no. he has been consistent about that. we believe we need that border technology that is modernized. that is what we want to see and that is what i can speak to. and we -- this is something we were required by law and we are complying. this is an administration that does believe in the rule of law. >> why now? these funds have been available. >> the president spoke to this. this is one of the things he was saying. he had been asking congress to reappropriate the funds. he has been for the past couple years in congress refused and we have to comply by law to get this done and that is what you are seeing happening

. >> laura: thus last night'sin moment by biden dhs secretaryhen they were going to start building al on the southern border seem like policy whi whiplashed t. alexandria may orca said to wavi federal laws and begin buildings a border wall in south texas. now when the news broke my many were shocked. but not "the angle." we told you to expect this last month. >> "the angle" believes the white house may be, may be considering a move to at least r have the appearance ofso tightening things at the borderi now just so you understand this, this is not because somehow joe biden doesn't think about anything or any people, puppeteers controlling biden hhave a policuey epiphany on an issue, but because it has become r,a huge political liability to them. and three weeks later th ae bidn people knon pow they do have a handfull-blown political crisisn their hands. we are not just talking about the poll. >> the super solution is no!eopl turned the buses around!er >> this is a community of black people and then yothe u want toe thsoe little resources that we have and put them at the bottom of the

the dhs secretary mayokas put out the notice yesterday. very few details.here is presently an acute and immediate need to construct barriers and roads on the border of the united states in order to prevent unlawful entries into the united states. this area in the rio grande sector has seen 245,000 illegal crossings this fiscal year. official tells fox it is happening to address safety concerns for border patrol agents, migrants and nearby communities. quite the reversal, though, from biden who said this in 2020. >> trump campaigned on build that wall. are you willing to tear that wall down? >> president biden: there will not be another foot of wall constructed in my administration, number one. number two, what i will focus on, i will make sure we have border protection but it will be based on making sure that we use high-tech capacity to deal with it. >> this say it will stop wildlife migration and destroy habitats. it is disheartening to see president biden casting aside the environmental law to build a border wall. the white house defending their response

but ron, as far as what is going to happen next in this plan under dhs, under this biden presidency to of these migrants back, it doesn't look like that will affect many that are already here. as far as venezuelan crossings at the southwest border, for the fiscal year 2023, that number is almost 200,000. but according this plan, only about 31,000 of them are subject to deportation. so, this plan doesn't really intend to send that many back. >> that's exactly right. this is about incentives. people are responding to the incentives they are being given by this administration. no, if you have -- if you send a third of the people back, that would be meaningful but nowhere near it. right now two-thirds of them are being released at the border after a brief stay with cbp. and so that is what's encouraging people to come. that's what this administration did when they tore down the migrant protection protocols and said it was a terrible idea. they stopped building the wall, he want to invest in technology and do other things at the ports but nothing in between the ports. struck a deal to buy o

they are also opening up communication between federal agencies like dhs and the fbi and state and localent to make sure when things are reported that the adequate law enforcement response is used to answer it, and hopefully stop more incidents happening in the future, josÉ. >> stephanie, outside the college arena there has been a rise in hate-fueled incidents as well. what has been happening? >> yeah, i mean, there are groups that track these incidents, including the anti-defamation league. and you have c.a.r.e., and islamic phobic incidents are up. there was, you will remember, the terrible stabbing death of a 6-year-old boy in illinois by a landlord, allegedly. that landlord has pleaded not guilty in that case. the other example where federal officials have said there's now an arrest in the threats made against the november senator. she received threatening phone calls and messages of violence, josÉ. >> stephanie in new york, thank you so much. >>> now to another debate we are watching closely on the floor of the supreme court this morning. it will decide whether public officials can

concertina wire. >> laura: ever tried to get into dhs's headquarters? try to get in there.s pretty tough by the way. a beautiful campus. >> absolutely. >> laura: brand new building. >> we know walls work. they work and they would work along the border. trump was building it. biden stopped it. i will see down how much they really build. check with me every few weeks i don't think we are going to see much wall actually going on. >> laura: this is performance theater don't you think, congressman? they want to be perceived as we are doing something wink, wink but then they say oh no we don't think walls work. they know they are in trouble. they are in great political danger which is the only thing that gets their attention. >> we will see that with. so local races in november '23 only a month away. >> laura: i hope so. >> crime was a big issue. issues here in new york. this migrant crisis at whole other level. they start losing house seats. few weeks ago predicted it. and they are motivated not because of rule of law not by constitution. >> laura: the carnage, they don't care t

according to the dhs secretary, mayorkas, the guy that kept telling us the border is closed, the border is secure. he is saying there is an acute and immediate need to construct physical barriers and roads in the vicinity of the border of the united states in order to prevent in lawful entries into the united states. that's from the department of homeland security secretary. one of the guys that's been lying to us now for three years. now, get this information. the administration just leaked a plan to deport venezuelans in mass. mayorkas is now saying there is no new administration policy. the one that they gave us yesterday that i just read to you didn't happen. despite the 26 wave laws, the new border wall construction, the monies being a prep rated to it and now they got exposed as having a plan to deport people from venezuela. now of course mayorkas is now lying. this is a cya. after his boss, joe biden had a slightly different message today. apparently nobody told joe what his administration was planning. and his hands are tied. he said trump and those mean rascal republicans in co
