ken cuccinelli, a former acting dhs secretary weighing in. >> they are trying to basically say you didn't provably murder or rape somebody you don't get deported. that doesn't leave ice a lot to do and yet we have 11 million, maybe tens of millions of illegals and they are inviting hundreds of thousands more who are rushing our borders creating as we said they would a humanitarian crisis. shannon: texas sheriff a day louderback accuses the federal government of promoting a lawless attitude that will get americans hurdle kill. to make matters worse he says illegal immigrants are being released from custody without a covid-19 test. >> in the haste to open the border for everyone in this country, this is something i expected to some degree. the covid-19 issue conveniently overlooked this time. >> reporter: this all coming weeks after a federal judge in texas put a temporary hold on president biden's 100 a pause on deportation. todd: a lot more on immigration issues for the next two hours, thank you. jillian: lara logan said it is clear the change in administration is having a big impact on i

rudy giuliani telephoned ken cuccinelli, second in command at the department of homeland security anded him if they could use the department of homeland security to feed voting machines and he was quickly told no, that is not within their legal -- so trump tries to operationalize it. i don't have reporting connecting the two events but i don't think it is a huge stretch to wonder why ten former secretaries of defense, including secretaries who served under president trump felt the need to publish that extraordinary letter in early january saying that the president of the united states should not use the u.s. military to over turn election. ask yourself why they felt the need to do that and i think you start to color in some of the back story here. >> now you have some characters, including white house aid eric hershman that stood in the way here, and trstood up to the flys in the room and so on and counseled the president away. because i wonder, some of the characters were around for weeks as the president was pushing baseless lies around the election and stayed silent and many did af
