cities. but locals there fear that parts of the city are not being looked after by local authorities.treets full of dirt and litter, and neighborhoods effectively in control of the mafia. so locals have now decided to take matters into their own hands. if the government won't look after the city, then they'll just have to do it themselves. reporter: rome is more than a city -- it's a world of its own. the local authorities are battling the mafia and chronic corruption, while the city falls into wrack and ruin. right in the center of rome is the piazza vittorio. it's quite a rough area. last november, gianluca giordano got together with friends to open a cafe here. he lives in this neighborhood and decided he couldn't watch anymore while things just deteriorated. the gatsby cafe is intended as a place to hang out. the building used to be an expensive hat shop. local residents love it. mr. giordano: people came to us with tears in their eyes. they were full of praise for what we're doing, especially the older people. they're hoping the cafe will improve life here. reporter: but the cafe

answer to a national audience is that it's really this problem is fundamentally a state, county, city and local problem. nationwide in state facilities, not federal ones. nationwide our city, county, local law enforcement officers. just like president obama and attorney general holder got all the publicity in the last administration around criminal justice reform, but actually had a relatively small slice of the problem that could affect, it's also true that donald trump and jeff sessions have with all of their sort of retrograde policies that they are proposing in particular have a relatively limited ability to do damage and if the movement we have built out that the state and local level nationally, and that movement shouldn't lose sight of the fact that the system was dealt at the state and local level and has to be dismantled there. this comes up a lot. i'm spending a year in california and a lot of californians especially in the bay area come whenever social justice issue comes up, they always say that's an important issue. if i lived in nature and state, i would need to work on that. i li

city? >> i'm not concerned about our local population. we have population here that are not naturalized citizens. but i'm concerned about the lightning rod attached to a city and the magnet to draw unlawful criminals from other places saying come to our city and we'll protect you. we already have a crime problem here. we have 7 homicides since the beginning of the year, about one he other week, and i'm concerned about the lawlessness. liz: jessica where are you on that when it comes to what mr. her pert said about lawlessness. >> i worked closely with the chamber of commerce and our local businesses to create a welcoming community. the main focus is making sure we continue to attract talent to our community and not divert it. there are many talented people who come to our community through michigan state university who come on h-1b visas, and i think they bring many resources and become drivers, job creators, researchers, innovators, and that's what we need to continue. liz: people are for immigration. but mr. herbert is saying no to crimi

cities, it is a very rough situation. common core, we have to bring education more local. we cannot be managing education from washington. when i go out to iowa, the different states, they want to run their schools programs locally, and they will do a much better job. these are some very good people in washington, but you also have bureaucrats that make a lot of that and don't really care much about what they are doing or the community they have never seen, will never meet, and will never see. i like the fact of getting rid of common core. to me, we have to end it. we have to bring education local , to me. i have been saying it during the campaign. is doing a terrific job, highly respected, tremendous track record. but she has one of the toughest jobs of any of our secretaries. she has one of the toughest jobs. there are some pretty tough jobs of their but she has one of the toughest. we will spend a lot of money and expertise, we will have great talent having to do with education. there is nothing more important than education. we have to get those numbers in new york bet

in justice, this is, again, another attempt my president trump as well as sessions to threaten local cities and states throughout the country. and once again, they have tripped over the constitution. now, jeff sessions had been making threat after threat after threat to california and to other municipalities throughout the country. threatening to withhold federal dollars, needed dollars to do their job to protect and serve our communities. moneys that are needed for human trafficking, moneys that are needed for drug trafficking, as well as terrorism. so by threatening cities and states because we don't want to be a -- caught in the trump deportation machine, is both illegal, as well as unconstitutional. let me say, it's un-american because what you're doing is you're putting states and local municipalities in harm's way, in a dangerous position by withholding these questions that our police officers need to protect and serve our communities. >> mayor, i want to call on you now as professor as a constitutional scholar, couple of things, one is -- since there was no definition of sanctuary ci

cities. i'll thrilled to be here and hear from local public officials about what happened in their cities. that's how we can learn a lot about our research as well. so the first step of our research, to answer this question, we calculated city level price indices. this is very important. because the stuff you see in the news a lot reported, the fha, the numbers at the metro level can be misleading, so for officials if they looked at the metro level, this is the los angeles metro area and in 2005, this is from 2001 and 2006, from 2005 alone, there were homes that appreciated by 11%, some more than 16%, we did the calculations and then we also created this housing index, this shows where places ended up in our cities. it's similar to the previous paper, we have sort of a classic boom bust, by the places like san bernardino, california, tampa, florida, we have sort of high cost places where they see a big boom and not so much of a decline, so these are pretty much high cost places to live like san francisco, los angeles, sacramento. then you have sort of status quo cities where tulsa, memphis

cities that actively resist immigration law and try and shield illegal aliens from deportation. now judge william work has blocked it. he calls it an illegal effort by the executive branch to dictate local policy. the ruling is a big win for now for the many mayors of liberal cities across the country who vowed to resist federal immigration enforcement. >> to congress, it is welcome. the action by president trump turned on the head upside down what we stand for. >> the city will not be bullied by this administration. the executive orders are counted to our constitution and a threat to this city's values. become an executive order will not change how we enforce the law in new york city or how we do business on behalf of the people. >> i believe in our century city status. i think there were hundreds of mayors all over this country that are saying the same thing. and we stand united. >> tucker: said immigration order of the white house apparently violates the constitution. that's the position of the court and of these many mayors. what exactly does the constitution say about immigration? on the board of supervisors for santa clara county california which is a part in a loss and he joins u

he has gone to congress and is asking the congress to take await funds from the local cities. he's not just doing that. this sais all part of his ram u up on enforcement that includes a request for funding for 15,000 federal more deportation agents and tens of thousands of more detention bets. that's going to cost american taxpayers billions of dollars. and it's not going to do anything to create jobs. >> right. >> it's not going to really help america at all in terms of advancement. >> cody, one of the themes of the first 100 days is trump and his associates can say what they sach say. what differenceoes make? it would seem the comments of session ands the president adversely affected their ability to win this first round which blocked the ban -- this type of sanctuary city funding ban which seems to affect a lot of people's lives. >> that's right. you know, what the president says about his own orders does matter. an executive order is not like legislation where there are committee hearings and reports that come out of congress as they debate a bill. this is the stroke of a

in kansas city, missouri's second largest metropolitan area, where the city council passed a higher minimum wage last month, localleaders are also fighting back with a grassroots approach. the reverend vernon percy howard jr., president of the southern christian leadership conference in kansas city, helped to gather enough signatures for a ballot initiative set for this august to let kansas city voters decide on an even higher minimum wage. >> the people of kansas city have said, "let us vote on $15 per hour this coming august 2017!" >> reporter: reverend howard says the referendum is in response to years of unjust wages and a way to give kansas city residents a bigger voice at the state capital. >> we have people who are there making decisions that impact us directly, but that don't share our interests, and that's an undercut and undermining of the democratic principle. >> reporter: they don't live here. >> and don't share our interests. and that's why we have tried our best to create avenues in which we can seek empowerment here, locally. >> reporter: some people in the cities would say this is republicans who

and so that means that locality revenues, city revenue is likely be tied to property value. at the state level income taxes and sales taxes are much more important sources of revenue than they are at the local level. there are exceptions. new york is an exception with a very substantial sales tax and income tax come both corporate and personal income taxes in new york. but in general central cities tend to be more focused on property taxes. one of the big benefits of a property tax historically been its stability. so the fact that we haven't seen this kind of swing in property values historically, or particularly nationally, has been a big benefit of the property tax. that has kept cities on a relatively even keel, and even in this episode as several speakers have already pointed out, the structure of the property tax limits to caps and rebates, triggers and things like that, has kept revenue relatively smooth compared to the volatility of housing prices. an interesting and important thing to point out is that in some of the data received already today, actually sales taxes t

targeteers said let's do the mems on it, they found out they couldn't because there were too many close local cities. so we went with more conventional smaller weapons. 2,000 pound bombs. the moab is 21,000 pounds. 2,000 pound bombs, you to use more of them and use more airplanes to deliver them. and that gets dangerous as well. >> dan narcotics it's interesting this comes on the heel of the strike in syria, just a week apart. obviously different conflict, different types of devices. >> that's right. very different in both ways. and very different when it comes to what the president said he would do as a candidate and is doing now as president. when it comes to this particular mission today, the target was isis. we know what he said. probably one of his most famous lines from the campaign that he would bomb the you know what out of isis. well, that's what at least he tried to do today. his pentagon and his military brass tried to do that in afghanistan and pakistan. that's very different from the strikes that we saw late last week on syria, which is something that he vowed he would never do. and rea

only congress can change the rules for what money goes to local cities. only congress can decide how to change who gets what. they hand out the money, not the president. you can't change the rules after the money has already been handed out. and you can't put new conditions on grants that were previously received. so basically he said the president didn't have the authority to do this. the white house did put out a statement this morning saying, quote, today's ruling -- this is yesterday. today's ruling undermines faith in our legal system and raises serious questions about circuit shopping. meaning presumably that the opponents of this went to where they thought they could get a favorable ruling. but san francisco and santa clara counties have long been going in a back and forth with the federal government even before president trump came into office about this issue. it should be noted, stephanie, that the president didn't entirely turn off this executive order because there is a federal law that says cities cannot restrict what law enforcement -- infor

the letter specifically targets nine sanctuary cities requiring the local government prove they're sharing information with immigration enforcement agencies or else the city could lose millions in federal grant money for local law enforcement. state representative martina white introduced a policy in that stripping funding from sanctuary cities. >> do we need this money? it's up to these mayors to reverse their sanctuary city policies and comply with the federal law and all that the letter is asking. >> reporter: in a statement the city says it does comply with federal laws and believes there's nothing in its policy to put its funding in jeopardy. still, philadelphia will remain a sanctuary city and police will not ask the immigration status of those they come in contact with. >> for a local official to you know, be able to pick and choose which federal laws they'd like to comply with and which they don't really is not a good thing. >> reporter: mayor kenney's administration again says it remains in compliance and changing the protocol will put everyone in nor danger. >> driven underground

airbnb even collects tourist tax for the city, which last year amounted to 14 million euros. so, localuthorities are not all that interested in protecting tenants. mr. paisana: the 2012 rent law makes it easier for landlords to throw tenants out. landlords are now permitted to issue five-year rental contracts. and when apartments are refurbished, rents can be increased. often, tenants then no longer can afford to live there. reporter: lisbon's municipal council did not respond to our request for an interview. the other factor that's driving out tenants is luxury modernization. wherever you look in the city center, housing is being built or refurbished for the wealthy. in 2016, 40,000 apartments were sold, many of them to foreign buyers. they can afford the prices that locals simply can't. and as an additional incentive, non-eu citizens who invest at least 500,000 euros in real estate are given residency permits for free. all of that is making it harder for renters like rosa dias to remain in the old quarters of lisbon. michelle: since last summer's failed military coup in turkey, anyon

city, for example, than the same time yesterday. and as that translates to the thermometer, you're talking temperatures that are into the 40's, in many locations, as we take a look, though, locally atlantic city already up to 50 . the winds is pretty calm. could you feel breeze, as strong as maybe 15 miles per hour out of the southwest, for the most part here today, but that would be the worse of it. so overall warm wind, that does lead us to be able to check off all of the boxes here for practically perfect day. sunshine, mild air, low humidity, a light breeze, all of that working for us here. so again, you know, today's one of the days that you get outside while you have got the opportunity. but even if you don't, you will have an additional chances down the road, let's look at the area headlines, not only gorgeous start to the work week but we get taste of june, on tuesday, there are some minor chances for precipitation along the way, so we will outline those for you, a little later on in the broadcast when i have your full seven day, meisha? >> katie, thank you so much. for that. good morning, everyone, happy monday. in the world of travel so far this morning, what we are re

and so that means that locality revenue, central city revenue is likely to be very closely tied to propertile havey lvalues. at the state local, income taxes and sales levels are much more acceptable at the local levels. new york is an exception with a very substantial sales tax and income tax, both corporate and personal income tax in new york. but in general, the central cities seem to be more focused on the property taxes. one of the big benefits of the property taxes historically has been its stability. so the fact that we have not seen this kind of swing in property values, historically, particularly nationally has been a big benefit of the property tax. and that has kept cities on a relatively even keel. and on even in this episode as officials have already pointed out. the structural tax with limited and caps and rebate triggers and things like that has kept revenue relatively smooth as compared to the volatility of house prices. so an interesting thing to point out is in some of the data we've seen already today actually sales taxes took a huge hit and so did income taxes. that is act
