i want to bring back julia ainsley.aiting to hear from the judge on the request on trump's birthright citizenship order. do we have a decision? >> we do a quick decision, chris. the judge just issued a temporary restraining order putting a nationwide block, at least temporarily, on trump's executive order to end birthright citizenship for children who are born to mothers who were in the united states, either unlawfully or temporarily. this was quick, i'm told, by our producers in the room, daniel barnes said, that the judge said out loud, i have signed the tro, that temporary restraining order. just as soon as the lawyers from both sides stopped talking. it was a quick decision. but what this means, chris, is that this is surely going to end up at the supreme court. we can expect an appeal from the trump administration. we can expect that they will continue to fight this legal battle all the way to the supreme court. what today's arguments did is they gave us a window into how this trump, how the trump administration is

>> let's bring in nbc news homeland security correspondent julia ainsley in washington. julia, what more have you learned about those weekly immigration operations we mentioned, and also, why aurora, colorado, for the next one , at least in terms of what we are expecting? >> if aurora rings a bell, that's because that is the place that trump campaigned, because he said the city had been, quote,, in his words, infected by venezuelans. that was because of the venezuelan gang there and some activity in one apartment building. but city officials told nbc at the time that the city is safe, so that became a city, just like springfield, ohio, that trump really zeroed in on during his campaign to show that illegal immigration has led to problems in u.s. cities, that that is the neck city that we know of. this according to three sources familiar with the plan and they want to take three cities per week, i'm told, to make it an all hands on deck approach where not only i.c.e. those in but they are also working with other federal law enforcement agencies like the atf, the fbi, dea a

nbc news homeland security correspondent julia ainsley.nother major change the administration made in the first hours was shutting down the cbp one app. that was a tool for people to apply to legally enter the country. now we have seep some video of folks completely distraught finding out their appointments are now canceled. talk to us about the impact these executive actions are having on the ground. >> reporter: yeah, zinhle, you can see the anguish there playing out at the border because for these people they followed the legal pathway. this is the one door that biden left open at the border for people to be able to schedule appointments to come across the southern border and claim asylum. so when that appointment gets canceled, they feel they have no other route. now, what could happen is cartels could advertise and say, look, the way to get in now is to be smuggled in. you tried the legal way. you were shut down. i know a lot of people are worried about that ramification. there is also label challenges. it could be that there is some

here to sort through it all, nbc's julia ainsley. and so i wonder, julia, because you follow this so closely, what are you keeping the closest eye on? so to put this in perspective, there are three big changes in the way ice does business. that's changed from last week to this week really just changed in the past 24 hours. one is numbers. we understand that yesterday ice arrested over 500 migrants by comparison in september. that's the latest number for which data is available from the biden administration. ice arrested 282 migrants on average per day in the month of september, so they've almost doubled that. the other thing they're doing is using military planes. you've seen those images. they're walking migrants onto these large military planes to deport them. that's new. i was just at a flight last week, one of the last deportation flights of the biden administration, and saw them get on what looked like a commercial aircraft, what looked like a plane that would have taken down to texas to see that. the third thing they're doing is

. >> joining us now, nbc's julia ainsley, who is reporting from the border in harlingen, texas, and formern congressman of pennsylvania charlie dent. so, julia, what do we know about the plans tom homan might have for kristi noem? well, look, chris, in typical trump fashion, he likes to set people up in a position where they're going to be competing with each other. >> we understand that tom homan is border czar at the white house, will be in charge of the border. homan has used those words. he'll also be competing against stephen miller, who has big plans for how he wants mass deportations to be carried out. then you have the soon to be, presumably secretary noem. she didn't seem to face much opposition today. she, of course, is dhs secretary, is going to be in charge of 250,000 people. big on their plate is the southern border. so how all that gets mapped out still has to be seen. but as we understand it, they really want to have immigration policy held within the white house. i'm right down here at a place where they will be doing deportation flights. in fact, the biden administration a

. >> let's bring in nbc news homeland security correspondent julia ainsley. ica cardenas is a former assistant chief counsel for ice and founder of human migration and msnbc political analyst, and former republican congressman carlos curbelo joins us as well. julia, i want to start with this state of emergency and how we're going to see it manifest itself. >> right. well, of course, trump has issued a state of emergency so that he can use the military at the border. he was pretty clear, though, in the executive order, that the military would only be used for to build deportation space and to do transportation at the border. they would not violate the constitution by going and arresting migrants. of course, that could change if they do any kind of operations in mexico. now that he's designated some of the cartels and gangs there as foreign terrorist organizations. but this national emergency could also allow him to use his alien invasion act, where he's going to be able to vastly expand the way dod works with ice to expand detention. but i wanted to zero in for

. >> it's still an outstanding question, but our colleague julia ainsley, reporting that the plan for ice at this moment in time is to target the city of chicago as soon as tuesday, the day after he is sworn into office. potentially, though, also moving into other major urban areas, other cities. the question here, of course, comes down largely to resources and the extent to which ice officials are able to go in and effectively target communities, and exactly where are they able to effectively identify where undocumented immigrants are residing? are these workplace raids, for example, i want to let you listen to kristi noem, who is been nominated by donald trump to be the head of the department of homeland security. she was up on capitol hill just yesterday testifying through her confirmation process and was asked about mass deportations. take a listen. >> president trump has been very clear that his priority is going to be deporting criminals, those who have broken our laws and perpetuated violence in our communities. his next priority is going to be those with final removal orders,

joining us now is nbc news homeland security correspondent julia ainsley and john sandwyk. er acting director of immigration and customs enforcement. so okay, julia, a lot to talk about. walk us through the scope of these new executive orders and actions certainly goes further than what we saw at the beginning of the first trump administration. >> take a travel ban, for example, and the first travel ban, there were 5 to 7 countries that trump was looking at. now he's saying any country that doesn't supply the us with adequate information, those people can't come in. >> he's taking birthright citizenship, saying not only if you're born to parents who came into this country illegally, but if your mother was here temporarily and lawfully and your father is not a us citizen or here lawfully and permanently, you are no longer a us citizen in violation of the 14th amendment. >> it also requires all undocumented immigrants to be registered and to be fingerprinted, and it calls for the end of parole programs like the cbp one app. and this program that biden used to allow people to a

joining us now, nbc's ryan nobles, also with us, julia ainsley, journalist and msnbc contributor paola ramos. >> also with us, tara setmayer, former gop communications director and co-founder of the seneca project. >> former democratic congresswoman stephanie murphy is with us as well. so, ryan, what were the most important moments of this hearing today? >> well, i think first off, jose, we have to acknowledge the fact that it doesn't appear that kristi noem is in any danger of not being confirmed. >> it would require at least four republicans to vote against her nomination. >> and from what we saw from this panel, there doesn't seem to be any real opposition to nome. >> as the next secretary of the department of homeland security. what we did hear from republicans, though, is basically taking another opportunity to hammer the biden administration and the current secretary, alejandro mayorkas, and getting pledges from noem that once the trump administration takes office, that they will turn back to some of the policies of the trump administration that they could do immediately. for ins

what we've heard privately from them for several years, nbc news homeland security correspondent julia ainsleying it to us. we appreciate it. and we should point out, elise, that border apprehensions are at lows not seen since in the trump administration right now, but too little, too late for a lot of people, including for the electoral hopes of democrats. >> and only after the june executive order and that interview from julia with the ice director was really revealing, because he wasn't holding back in saying he was dissatisfied with what they had accomplished, he felt that more could have been done. he thought the rules were too lax, and he thought that, you know, asylum became a good opportunity, in fact, for migrants crossing the border. and that, i think, in and of itself is quite an interview that says everything about the 2024 election. >> and there's no doubt there's been a lot of second guessing on the political side of this, that the biden team should have acted sooner on the border, you know, and that they didn't do enough to promote the idea that it was the republicans who scuttl

julia ainsley, i appreciate it. >>> joining me, ryan reilly, just as reporter for nbc news has been following the attack in las vegas. it's the other one that happened on new year's day. i was, the biography definitely was striking to me at the individual who has been identified as a person in the truck, not just a veteran but active-duty, on leave actually, as best i understand. is that right? >> that is right. from the defense department official, we know that he had a child several months ago and that confirms what sleuths have told me when they were looking into this individual. you see the photos on facebook. i believe those were post about his ex-wife several years ago. he did a lot of traveling. the picture we have only lasts until, it's a few years old. we need to see what was more recent on why this came about. there is one photo that was taken in thailand and that's one i found on his trip adviser account because he went to a martial arts program and claimed he got pinkeye there. that's the image you might've seen at the top of the show where he has red eyes and that's what was goin

. >> joining us is gabe gutierrez, and nbc news homeland security correspondent julia ainsley. julia, let's stat with you on this. what did we hear from the judge today about their decision? >> reporter: this judge was very quick and firm in his decision. this is an 85-year-old conservative judge appointed by ronald reagan who said that ever his four decades on the bench, this is the most blatantly unconstitutional executive order he has ever seen. of course, he was speaking of president trump's executive order that he issued just hours after taking office to end birthright citizenship so any child born to a mother who is not legally inside the united states or even if they're legally here but on a temporary visa, that that child would not be given u.s. citizenship unless the father of that child was a u.s. citizen or here legally and permanently as well. that really was something that we heard from 22 states and from pregnant mothers as well as aclu, a slew of lawsuits across the country. and they argue that that, of course, is in violation of the 14th amendment. something that

nbc news homeland security correspondent julia ainsley. julia. good morning.ell us on this? >> well. >> look. >> ice is. >> facing a $230,000,230 million shortfall because they. >> are obviously. >> burning more than they can right now. that shortfall was even under the biden administration, and they actually did an estimate about how much it costs to deport one migrant from arrest to the time. >> they're on the plane. it's about $10,500. >> so you can do the math. >> trump has promised to deport millions of millions a year. basically. >> they need. >> more money. they're trying to ramp. >> up. >> detention space so. >> they have. >> someplace to hold them. >> but in the end, they're going to. >> have to really. >> ask congress for more money. >> but the low hanging fruit right now is to reprogram. >> so they're looking. >> at pulling from tsa. that might get some backlash if people. >> are looking at longer. >> travel lines. of course, you also have. national security threats to worry about. and then they're. >> also looking at pulling. >> from cisa. that cyb

nbc news homeland security correspondent julia ainsley. she was following today's challenge. >> julia. >> the reporting your reporting says it took this judge 25 minutes to say. >> no, go. >> this violates the constitution. >> and in judge speak, basically says whose dumb idea was this? we've been trying to sort of poke. behind the obvious lack of. constitutional merit in what they were doing to try to understand what this was, was really about this, this, this defeat and this this, you know, this legal setback couldn't have been a surprise even to the. >> trump folks. >> who wrote it. what is what is their real strategy here? >> i mean, they're going to continue to take this, i think, in all likelihood to the supreme court, we can expect a legal challenge to the appellate level, and then they'll want to go to the supreme court. we've seen, at least in the executive order, that they think that they can argue about these words subject to the jurisdiction of, because the 14th amendment says that all children born here to us citizens and anyon

. >> nbc news homeland security correspondent julia ainsley joins me now. hat are the real life implications of this? >> well, look, for those people. they didn't think they were crossing the border illegally. >> they followed the legal pathway that was set out for them by the biden administration. >> and they might have thought the door could be closing for future people. they thought an appointment given to them by the united states was something that would stay, that would be granted to them. so that's why you can see the anguish for these people here. >> and they've come a long way. a lot of them through treacherous journeys through the darien gap. >> and so the one thing we do know is that there's a legal challenge. >> the aclu and other immigrant rights groups filed for an emergency hearing right here in federal court in d.c, saying that when this is shut down, what the administration has done is they've ended asylum for anyone because this is the one pathway left open. >> it's important to remember, biden did a huge asylum restriction executive action

let me bring in nbc's julia ainsley, because julia, the press secretary, talked about the people arrested in the targeted enforcement operations by ice. she called them criminals. we saw operations in chicago. they're ongoing, as far as we know. still in new york. they're planning to move to colorado tomorrow. your reporting, though, indicates that that is not necessarily the case. what can you tell us about who's a criminal who isn't, and what you make of what she had to say about the what this administration is doing? >> well. >> chris, she. >> said a number of things. >> i'd like to fact check about the people who are being. >> arrested are. >> peter alexander really. >> pressed her on whether or not. >> they were going to. >> expand the net of people that they're arresting, and not just. >> focus on. >> those with criminal records. >> and her. >> response to him and to others is that they're all criminals. >> they all came into this. country illegally. >> that's not true, actually. >> because what trump has done is he has rescinded a biden administration policy that allowed over 800,0

with us now, nbc news homeland security correspondent julia ainsley, washington post national political reporter sabrina rodriguez and former ohio governor john kasich, who is now an msnbc political analyst. julia. tom homan saying that 308 serious criminals were arrested in the last 24 hours. are these the massive raids that have been announced? >> well, jose, just to put that in context, i had my producer pull a given month in the last year. they looked at september of 2024 and look over those days. the highest day that they arrested was about 242 migrants in a given day. so 308 does seem to be a surge. but is it the shock and awe that the trump administration promised? it doesn't seem to have the details, at least that we were expecting. we were expecting this to target major metropolitan areas. we don't know the when, we don't know the where or the who. we just know these numbers as they're rolling them out. so what it looks like, and we've reported that this was likely is that ice would continue to do their operations. they would surge more resources and more do more operations. an

joining us now is nbc news homeland security correspondent julia ainsley, nbc correspondent priscilla texas, and veronica cardenas, former assistant chief counsel at ice and founder of the human migration. so, julia, first of all, what are you hearing? tell us what you expect at the hearing in seattle. >> well. >> look, this is the first legal challenge. you have 22 states as well as the aclu and a number of pregnant women who are being represented. and they are all challenging this idea that trump can basically change the constitution through an executive order. that's what he did on monday night when he said that he wanted to end birthright citizenship. now, the way that the trump administration will argue this is, they will zero in on the words subject to the jurisdiction thereof. i keep writing this out so i don't forget those those words. it's important because the 14th amendment guarantees citizenship to anyone born in the united states of a u.s. citizen, or subject to the jurisdiction thereof. the united states. that exception, those who they do not consider to be subject to th

julia ainsley, excuse me and lisa, i presume the case against the 14th amendment that donald trump wants to banish or ban birthright citizenship. i assume now they're going to appeal that and it's going to go up to the supreme court. >> they will. i mean, before we even get to the supreme court, katie, remember that there are cases pending in other districts in the country. today's order, while it enjoins that eo or executive order for 14 days nationwide, that gives the administration not only time to appeal, but it also gives other courts around the country time to make their own decisions about the applicability of the ban and its constitutionality. >> it's such a big story, and we're going to be following it so closely. ladies, thank you very much. and still ahead, what's complicating efforts to contain the new wildfires now burning in southern california? and it's not just lawmakers that are having mixed reaction to trump's blanket pardon of january 6th rioters, some of the rioters and the sympathizers themselves, what they're saying as they're walking free, but also complaining a li

our colleague julia ainsley is reporting that in chicago, specifically, that immigrations and customs enforcement is intending as soon as tuesday. of course, the day after donald trump's inauguration on monday to begin enforcing immigration laws and going in and putting into effect a deportation program, it is not clear the exact specifics of what this operation would look like, the extent to which it would target businesses that may be employing a undocumented immigrants. there is potential of targeting, particularly in neighborhoods where there are larger, potentially larger concentrations of undocumented migrants. and so for the trump administration, over the course of the last years, they have maintained that they would enact the largest deportation program since the eisenhower administration. now to note, kristi noem, who was up on capitol hill this week, she has been tapped by donald trump to lead the department of homeland security. but there is, particularly within this incoming trump administration power that is being designated by the incoming president to individuals who ar

nbc news homeland security correspondent julia ainsley and krish o'mara vignarajah, president and ceo of global refuge, which helps refugees settle here in the united states. or at least you. you were with migrants in ciudad juarez when they found out about their asylum appointments being canceled. there's that video that you recorded of how they reacted to the news. let me go to that. >> amiga. icu for. >> my niece. what was that moment like? >> well, to tell the truth, there is a there was a lot of shock in the beginning. like people didn't know how to react. they were looking for confirmation either through friends and family or from us or mexican officials who were coming down the bridge to deliver the news. and it was shock. and then as slowly as time progressed, people realized that their opportunity to enter the united states had evaporated with the executive order. >> and so the, the cbp one actually shut down and then also released the appointments that had been already agreed to were canceled as well. >> that's correct. a lot of the people who were in line at that time, they

nbc's julia ainsley also reported moments ago that plans for ice officials to carry out a massive raid operation in chicago has now been postponed due to media leaks. and that is according to two sources with knowledge of those plans. the sources emphasize the operation has not been canceled, and the people who would have been arrested in the operation remain targets for ice. the sources add that chicago will not be the first city to see mass deportations begin again. they are postponing the plans because of leaks. it didn't seem like much of a secret friday when trump's borders are. actually. tom homan had this to say on fox. >> am i blowing your cover? when i announced that there's going to be a big raid in chicago on tuesday? or do you want people to know maybe they can self-deport. >> there's going to be a big raid all across the country. you know, chicago is just one of many places that we got 24 field offices across the country on tuesday. you're going to expect ice. this ice is finally going to go out and do their job. we're going to take the handcuffs off ice and let them go ar

homeland security correspondent julia ainsley, thank you so much for bringing it to us.it. we should point out, elise, that border apprehensions are at lows not seen since in the trump administration right now. too little, too late for a lot of people, including for the electoral hopes of democrats. >> and only after the june executive order. that interview from julia with the i.c.e. director was really revealing because he wasn't holding back in saying he was dissatisfied with that they'd accomplished. he felt more could have been done. the rules were too lax and, you know, he thought asylum became a good opportunity, in fact, for migrants crossing the border. that, i think, in and of itself, is quite an interview that says everything about the 2024 election. >> there's no doubt, there's been a lot of second-guessing on the political side of this, that the biden team should have acted sooner on the border. you know, they didn't do enough to promote the idea that it was the republicans who scuttled the bipartisan bill over the summer. as we turn the page to the incoming

we expect everything from mass deportation executive orders, as you alluded to, our julia ainsley being told that plans are made for ice to begin as soon as tuesday. on executing that deportation effort in chicago before moving to other cities. but for donald trump as well, here you're looking at an inauguration day, which is going to be moved inside of the capitol, but one in which is going to be much less about the pomp and circumstance. there's no parade, but i think more so than any inauguration that we can recall. in years past, donald trump has vowed to use that day as a day to begin enacting very a very specific policy agenda. and for him, that includes everything to a potential executive order on schedule f, which would reclassify part of the federal workforce from a career civil workers to political appointees. and so, for donald trump, this is the beginning of executing on an administration that he said that he didn't have the opportunity for during the course of 2020 and the pandemic to ultimately be able to wholly use that first term to execute the type of change that he wan

and our julia ainsley, our colleague, is reporting that chicago is expected to be that first city and that these operations could begin as soon as tuesday, and that they are seeking ice officers to work in volunteer capacity. again, this is at the crux of so many of the complications is not only an unwillingness among some local law enforcement jurisdictions to put the resources in towards working with federal immigration officials, understanding their budgets are very short as they are, but also understanding that the federal resources are limited. and that is where you see the expected focus on one city, potentially at a time. this being chicago, over the course of several days, the idea of having a mass deportation system, it is not an easy one. despite donald trump and tom homan pledging to go forward, he has said that he's going to target criminals and drug dealers. it is not clear exactly where that focus point is going to be. there's a lot of outstanding questions for these first days of this trump administration. melissa. >> well, thank you for trying to fill in some of those

joining us now, nbc news homeland security correspondent julia ainsley. julia. good morning.where do the plans for chicago stand now and which other cities are bracing for this action? >> well, willie, as we understand, the chicago plans are postponed. >> they're not canceled. they still have targets across the chicago area. a lot of people with criminal records. we understand that ice does want to go out and arrest. we also understand this would be part of a shock and awe what steve bannon called days of thunder, something they want to carry out to really show force in the beginning. and we could see ice wearing tactical gear that we wouldn't normally see really for that display. but because of the media leaks, nbc news is one of those organizations that got a hold of it. we had a hold of a document of these plans and reported about chicago that was supposed to start on tuesday. because of those leaks, we now understand they've postponed the chicago operation, and they're eyeing other cities where they could start. that includes right here in the d.c. area, especially in nor
