here's how kevin mcaleenan presented it. >> there are two core principles, that families should remaining immigration proceedings and conditions for care of children must be appropriate. >> reporter: on friday, a u.s. district judge said the new plan didn't do enough to ensure that children were protected and wrote that officials cannot simply ignore the dictates of the consent decree because they no longer agree with the approach. in a separate case, a federal judge curbed the ability of i.c.e. agents to take people thought to be in the country illegally to take them into detention. they say the databases often contain errors and incomplete information. responding to the judge who overturned the flores agreement case, the white house said for two and-a-half years this administration worked reinstall laws. the destructive run around the detention and removal system congress created must end. rounding out the setbacks, a federal judge issued a preliminary injunction on a policy that aimed to expand fast track deportations. the justice department is expected to appeal each of the rulings

today, minutes ago actually, acting homeland security secretary kevin mcaleenan focused and announcednterterrorism strategy focused on domestic terror threats and white supremacism in particular. he called white supremacism one the most potent ideology driving here in us and an affront to our nation that strives for unity of its diverse population. secretary mcaleenan specifically notably called out the reason attacks in el paso, also the attack in pittsburgh as well as california recently and charleston as motivated by extremist ideology. really, this is a strong statement by the administration official against hate ideologists and it's something that the president has really been criticized for, for not being more vocal about. so mcaleenan talked about domestic terrorism, white supremacy but also stressed foreign terrorism threats are still a major focus, of course, for dhs especially with the recent arrest of that american airlines mechanic accused of trying to sabotage one of its airliners before it took off. prosecutors in that case saying that that mechanic may have been sympath

the president calls an audible and says to kevin mcaleenan, show me that map.esident takes it and that's when sharpe gate was born. officials were discussing a map. someone drew on it. the map was put away. surprisingly, the president asked to see it. that explanation got derailed when as you pointed out later on in the afternoon, the president was asked about who put the sharpie mark on the map and the president said i don't know. white house officials said the dangers from that friday forecast had really been impressed upon the president when he got to camp david and maybe he still had that in his mind on sunday when he tweeted despite the fact that every forecast track showed dorian staying away from alabama, that alabama might be in danger. those are the facts, shep. >> shepard: it is. weird times. thank you, john. stunning new images from dorian's destruction. man, it is apocalyptic said one official there. so many houses and everything destroyed. the scariest part of this, there's 20 confirmed dead. there's reports of thousands of people missing. that hap

there was a question raised today when the homeland security acting secretary kevin mcaleenan appearedof the sunday shows with how to deal with competing priorities when of course there's the need for federal emergency funds to be available for these kinds of natural disasters and earlier in the year when the administration was looking for funds from that department to go towards the other kinds of crises that have come up, dealing with some of the border issues that we have covered so extensively earlier in the year with having to deal with the flood of migrants. the court cases involving immigrants who have come to the united states. the detention of those migrants and so forth. and wanting to divert funds for that. kevin mcaleenan was questioned about this earlier today and here was his response about again those competing priorities and are there enough funds to do both things? >> no potential transfers, no money has been moved yet. we have to do a notification to congress in advance. any potential transfers will not affect our ability to respond to this storm or the others in the

the holder of the poster board is your acting secretary of homeland security, kevin mcaleenan. trump displayed the so-called cone of uncertainty forecast, back from august 29th. and there, apparently drawn in sharpie on the far left, a cone annex of sorts. a protuberance, an appendage added on to include alabama. >> you see it was going to hit not only florida but georgia. it could have -- was going toward the gulf. that was what we -- what was originally projected. >> this is a photo of the oval office briefing back on the 29th. with that same map. but note, no cone annex, no inclusion of alabama. a reminder here of what the president tweeted on sunday. "in addition to florida, south carolina, north carolina, georgia, and alabama will most likely be hit much harder than anticipated." that brought this. 20 minutes later. in our collective memory the first correction of a sitting president by our national weather service. they wrote, "alabama will not see any impacts from dorian. we repeat, no impacts from hurricane dorian will be felt across alabama." then not long after being

and in a related question, they went up under kevin mcaleenan, who is now the acting dhs secretary. why did he get promoted rather than fired? mr. morgan: so let me take the second one first. that's way out of my lane or my pay grade. what was the first question again? reporter: when will the numbers go down far enough that the emergency is over? mr. morgan: right. so what i would say is that's tricky. so i've been asked that a couple of times. and, you know, trying to just be honest and transparent with that. from cbp, hey, look, if i could see daily apps around 500 a day, that's manageable, i think. would i say that that's the magic number? the magic number is zero, right? but we have to be realistic. but even saying 500, saying a specific number, it's not really that easy, because it's not just about the numbers, it's also the demographics. now, one thing we've agreed upon, and it's gets back to your question, ma'am, about dangerous conditions, here's one thing we agree on, we've always said, from day one, that children, children should not be in border patrol facilities that wer

secretary kevin mcaleenan this morning. >> there will be no impact of the potential reprogramming on our ability to respond to the storm. the disaster recovery fund from major disasters has over $25 billion in it. we're talking about 155 million in a base-level fund. we believe we have fully adequate funding and no money has been moved at this point. >> he says no money has been moved at this point. but if that money is moved later and, of course, we're talking about a storm that has historic power and proportions, who knows what the devastation will be. could it mean local or state officials could be ultimately shorted in the recovery phase of this? >> ana, we are 100% committed to the response of this event. as you can see in the room behind me, i have well over 100 of my colleagues from fema, and they are working hard to ensure that state and local officials have the exact resources that they need. like the secretary mentioned in the clip you played, there's over $25 billion available for major disaster recovery. we have enough funds. we have what we need to support the states of
