[ inaudible question ] >> yes, a number of people with valid visas. we know of two of them who left iraq, both -- well, one had worked with the american armed forces for years and therefore is at risk staying home. the other i think his wife did the same. so they both had valid visas. they got board a plane before the executive order was issued and when they got off the plane here, they were detained. the cbp, customs and border protection, people here are acting purchase support to the guidance that they have gotten from washington which apparently is not very clear guidance and they have asked for further guidance from washington and they're working short staffed zi since it's saturday to give them guidance as to whether the executive order can super veed t supersede the visas. they have both declared a credible fear of persecution, you know, or worse if they g

new york congressman jerry nadler said 11 others held there.awsuit filed challenging the president's ban which holds immigration from the seven muslim majority manations and completely halts the refugee program. let's talk it out with our supreme court reporter, jeff rogan and cnn political commentator and alice stewart, formerly ted cruz's strategist. great to be with you. ary arian, if you could begin and this is the first real legal challenge that the president is facing on his executive order. what's the argument made here? >> one of the big claims is discrimination based on religion and what the president could come back and say here is, look, when the president comes to immigration, i have broad authority but other people might come back and say, look. in this case, you've gone too far. he began to feel retaliation and wanted to apply for one of these visas. he went through a 3 year process to do it and included meeting with somebody at the vision. he gets the visa. he gets on an airplane and lands last night and when he gets there, he's

nadler: i do. the chair: pursuant to clause 6 of rule 18, further proceedings on the amendment offered by the gentleman from new york will be postponed. it's now in order to consider amendment number 10 printed in house report 115-1. for what purpose does the gentleman from california sook recognition? >> mr. chairman, i rise as the designee for mr. pallone. the chair: the clerk will designate the amendment. the clerk: amendment number 10 printed in house report 115-1 northwesterny mc of california. -- mr. mcnerney of california. mr. mcnerney: pipelines threaten the safe and health of american citizens. this amendment will ensure that any rule intended to guarantee the safety of natural gas or hazardous materials pipelines is not considered a major rule under this bill and would therefore be easier to create. pipeline safety is a bipartisan issue. congress has shown, issuing regulations related to pipelines is a priority as evident with the enactment of the pipes act last year. however, the bill be

jerry nadler knows throwing red piece out there is going to work.e what obama when hillary could not do and turn the left into excited political force. >> the white house dubbed back a bill over the weekend saying people with green cards could come home. people who had agree cards and legally could be in the united states could not come home if they were out of the united states. how do you portray the white house reaction since the order was first revealed? >> i think any signs they were dialing it back they were heading other direction specifically at sean spicer briefing where he septembkept s the concerns about people getting detain was overblown it was just a small misskul fraction -- >> senator cory booker of new jersey of the democratic party speaking. >> every speaker -- enjoy the rights and privilege of citizenship. every generation face the choice do we let idea expand or retract do we let freedoms grow or retrench do we let love expand or be beaten by hate. this jgeneration has our test. there's assault on our values and can principles no

there are 11 other people we are told by congressman jerry nadler who are being held at jfk. and they're trying to sort their situations out. but as the congressman said, it's saturday. there's a lot of miscommunication or lack of communication with the department of homeland security. and all the noise you hear behind me are some protesters who are here to protest the executive order that the president signedyesterday. back to you. >> anne, we don't want to blow this out of proportion. here we are, another saturday where we come in and say we know some things are planned and these stories are taking lives of their own. can you put the crowd into perspective? it looks like a good number of protesters, can you give me perspective here as to what you're seeing on the ground? >> there are probably, i would say 25 protesters here. >> okay. >> there was a tweet that went out this morning as soon as there was word of people being detained here at jfk. and they were told to gather at 11:00 a.m. they got here a little later, i'd say around 12:30. but they are here. as you can hear, t

we got an update at a press conference in which congressman nadler and others said they still do not have the names of ten of those detainees. calling on the department of homeland security to release their names. we also know that the two iraqi men that are involved in the lawsuit were handcuffed when they came to the united states and detained and they were interrogated for hours, poppy. >> rachel crane, let us know when you hear more. because representative nadler has said that 11 other people are detained there. >>> when it comes to people with green cards that are traveling abroad, what does this all mean? sources are telling us that president trump's executive order will also impact those with green cards if they're traveling abroad. brian nobles is live for us this afternoon at the white house. what's the latest on that? this encompasses hundreds of thousands of people who are legal resident of this country. >> poppy, this executive order impacts people on many levels. if they live in one of these seven countries that are impacted by the executive order. but it's those with gr

congressman jerry nadler, democrat from new york, thanks for your time. joining me here on set, michael steele, msnbc contributor, former ravens chairman and bill press hostly of the bill press show. so let's start on this question. only fitting that after this campaign, the inauguration week is hijacked by this kind of a debate. michael steele, let me start, from the republican standpoint -- and i saw mike pence out there today making the point, hey john lewis started this. he's the guy who said that donald trump unt legitimate last friday, but, donald trump did not have to spend the weekend martin luther king weekend, going after john lewis in very personal terms. going after his district. making the comments he made, why does donald trump do this? >> well, i don't know why he does it. i think it's part of the make-up of the man, but i think this idea that well he started it, it sounds so schoolyardish. it sounds so small. you have the president of the united states. you never punch down. you never punch down. a congressman says something about you, you

it's interesting because congressman jerry nadler is there. it looks like maybe there is even some protests behind you. get us a sense of what happening on the scene. this is really the chaos that resulting about 24 hours after the executive order was in place. there are a lot of questions as to who was loud and who wasn't. a lot of clarity that was needed. there are hundred protesters outside jfk airport precisely because of what you said. essentially you have to i recommend who landed here last night who were immediately detained. two of them according to their lawyers into other rights groups who have a special immigrant visa. they artie had them. they were on their way into the united states. they were detained. nadler said ten others are being held here today. as to one of those. the man who was released he is 53 years old. a contractor for the u.s. military in iraq from 2003 to 2013. he was released this morning after other groups filed a federal lawsuit in court to day. the other man who is now currently being held his name was there. h

. >> congressman nadler and velasquez came out here. there are hundreds of people protesting.they are saying that dozens of people are being held illegally and unconstitutionally.they have filed a federal lawsuit. listen to nadler and velasquez moments ago. >> the people who are in the air should not be taken into custody in the country. it makes no sense at all. after all, the timing of the order whether it's one day early or later it's based on happenstance. >> they have been detained illegally.that's the argument that the congressman and i and i am begging you to go and revisit this. it's ill-advised and mean-spirited. >> of those seven countries, these are them Ãiraq, syria, sudan, libya, smalley and yemen. there is a three month immigration ban. all foreign nationals, regardless of a visa or not à they've been banned. there are exceptions. we can obviously see but there are confusion. that's what the protesters outside of here and activists and otherlawmakers are noting . there is way too much confusion and the people that should be able to be in this country are being il

also, you were hearing from congressman nadler describing this as a prediction of what could happen. judges look at this in the sense there was a big enough case to issue this stay but we don't ultimately know what the judges will do when the entire case is briefed. >> ari, who are the folks that are still there? are they new yorkers, are they family members, are they those from the legal community and the activist community? who's there? >> i spoke with people here who said they were political activists, some describe themselves in political or idealogical terms, others said they saw this as a humanitarian issue. i spoke with some religious folks who said they have been going to meetings and organizing conventions since the inauguration. one person mentioned a synagogue near here in brooklyn. if you look, what you see is there's been a festive environment as well. there's been music, there's been bongo drums, there was earlier a band, there were home-made signs. i think you could describe the people here as folks in and around brooklyn, many of whom seem to already care about relate

we'll keep an eye on these protests and joined by congressman nadler. you looked at a lot of constitutional issues, vocal during the bush administration when there was a lot of debates about the limits of executive power. big picture. what do you think we are seeing over the last three days? where does it fit in your mind with the history and precedent for these kind of battles between what a president said he can do and what the court and constitution says he can't do? >> the executive order of the president is about as clear a case of an order or presidential action that is clearly unconstitutional and clearly illegal on a separate basis that i've ever seen. >> it's unconstitutional because it's a violation of the -- discrimination on basis of religion. they can say all they want but that's clearly what they're doing, including the fact that they say that members of minority religions and countries from which refugees are totally banned can be considered on a ba case by case basis. the discrimination act of 1975, our basic immigration law says in so m

nadler: i thank the gentleman for yielding. mr. speaker, i rise in opposition to h.r. 21, the midnight rules releaf act. this irresponsible legislation would enable congress to wipe out hundreds or even thousands of regulations enacted during the final year of a president's term in office. in one fell swept -- in one fell swoop with little examination, no deliberation, and little regard to their impact on health and safety. members on both sides of the aisle have expressed concern in recent years over rules adopted in a presidential transition period. typically the last 60 to 90 days of a president's term. but this legislation differs greatly from previous legislation that i and others have introduced in the past to deal with this problem. for example, the midnight rule act which i introduced in the 110th and 111th congress would have merely delayed the implementation of rules submitted to congress within the final 90 days of a president's term with appropriate exceptions for imminent threat to health or safety, enforcement of crim
