eduardo leite, governor of rio grande do sul.of derek chauvin and the jury has been told that the neck restraint employed was against policy and training. prosecutors say mr chauvin made no attempt to calm george floyd down and spent more than nine minutes kneeling on his neck, which, they argue, led to his death. larry madowo has been following the case in minneapolis. we have heard from ten witnesses who are from the police, the minneapolis police department, all testifying that derek chauvin violated department policy, his use of force in the arrest of george floyd was excessive and this is not how they're trained. it is highly unusual to hear that many members of police organisation testify against a member of their own force. there is an unofficial rule called the thin blue line of silence, where police officers often protect their own, which is why it's often so hard to convict a police officer in a case of police brutality or police misconduct as a whole. in this case, they have all come out against 0fficer derek chauvin,

it's almost the end of an often perilous journey many on board that stinney crossing the rio grande day are children. 12 year old scott has just stepped on u.s. soil. he made the trip alone from guatemala he only did when i came here because we didn't have anything to eat. every night a steady stream of migrants arrives. but once they're in the united states they're registered by u.s. customs and border patrol agents. but they often end up in a crowded shelters unaccompanied children remain there until they're reunited with relatives already in the u.s. or until they're placed in homes in march around $170000.00 migrants of all ages were picked up by border patrol agents along the us mexico border we've seen the number of unaccompanied children start going up since last year when hurricanes hit central america when the cold in 1000 pandemic caused extended walk down and when more people felt that the only options they had to put their child in a place where they weren't going to star or struggle or die as a result of violence was to send their children with the united states but for som

once a week they get to the other side off the wall to the river fishing and the rio grande the natural border between texas and mexico has been a tradition in their family for generations there they enjoy a beautiful landscape and a peaceful activity at a river that for many on the other side looks dangerous and life changing. simply don't mean the. men will meet with trump we saw less people crossing the border since biden they are more. my parents if they are from mexico so i do understand them but we just can't help it or we can't do anything for the down but he is still pretty much what. helping undocumented immigrants is against the law in the us helpers can even get a respite many of the people who cross the river are from central america they escape from life threatening situations a toe or criminal activities are part of everyday life for many paying a car you already to get to the u.s. is their only option close on the ground to where they crossed the river and response mark their path from here it's only a 5 to 10 minutes right to cross of the rio grande the river gets really

once again, double check. >> the rio grande valley in? >> over the nation. >> and come in? >> fox news joins as the late night walk through the texas southern brush as a part of the delegation. to the border patrol agents telling congress what they say they are seeing every night. >> oh, yes. >> the federal government says that there is a more than 240% increase in apprehensions here in the rio grande valley and at the same point last fiscal year. >> what is the most striking thing on your tour tonight? >> we can really see first-hand the humanitarian crisis that we are seeing across the southern borders. the numbers truly reflect that. >> aside from the apprehensions, they say a major change and many more families. >> we have just run into the first family, three of them all with small children, all with just looks of fear and anxiety as border patrol encountered them here and told him to go move a little further down the road, will they be processed by federal officials? >> a job for customs and border protection. and nominated tucson, arizona, chief chris magness to lead

if they've driven congressional democrats down on the rio grande to see this challenge first hand. >> fingers at each other. >> making mistakes, i think it's good for the american people and the safety of our country. >> democrats and republicans have largely offered different approaches, the biden administration proposes the u.s. spend billions more to improve life in central america and attempt to stem the drive of migration. if from the governments of mexico, guatemala, and honduras to bolster forces to halt some of the migration ending up here and while washington debates, patrols here continue. texas state troopers say they are out on this river nine to ten hours a day working with federal partners patrolling on the border area but on top of that, they also say it's become a humanitarian issue. if people show up here dehydrated and sometimes in the river. >> bret: rich edson on the rio grande, thank you. if the federal deficit surged to an all-time high of $1.7 trillin for the first time, for six months of the budget year nearly doubled the previous record. the treasury departmen

we joined border patrol as they surveyed the area the moment showing these migrants crossing the rio grande river for the very first time. >> this is happening every day. it's not a one-time thing. these border patrol agents will tell you story after story that are just like that. if you're not heart broken by that, if you don't recognize this policy is having a devastating impact on real people, president biden needs to -- if he hasn't heard the stories, he needs to come himself and hear it. >> this is the first step on to american soil for people who arrive crossing through the rio grande river. we've seen about 50 people already tonight. they made the journey. we stopped, we asked some of them their stories. one of them, a 17-year-old boy travelling from honduras a month and a day. he took a train, a bus and walked all the while to get here. he scratches on his arm. tearfully explaining that he was hoping he would make his way to north carolina and eventually see his mother. >> this morning, we joined the delegates also on a boat tour with texas department of safety. they're along the ri

jon. >> texas department of public safety gun boats are quite a presence an the rio grande. jason jones, retired captain of the texas department of public safety. the white house, jason, is saying that this is just purely seasonal. that nothing has changed. but when you look at the numbers, 172,000 in march of this year, that compares to 34,000 in march of last year. now you can say covid was responsible for that. but the high watermark previous to that was 219 with 103,000. we're 70% above the worst to date. what does that say? >> it speaks volumes. i think it really is a telltale sign of what's to come. we're not out of this yet. we're just getting into it. it broke my heart to hear an 8-year-old was found deceased due to inclement weather. it's 101 degrees two days ago. it will only increase. we'll continue to see as the summer months hit more deaths of migrants trying to make a better life for themselves. i will say this. the data shows us exactly what you are saying. the policies of this administration are not working. it is not a perception. it is not a feeling. the da

they are going down to the rio grande river. they're going to be out there with border patrol. they're going to see for themselves when it's happening, all the agents are asking for right now is that the biden administration, president biden, vice president kamala harris listen to them, come down on the ground. this is not from 30,000 feet up, this has to be with boots on the ground so that they can see for themselves the crisis that is happening at the border and a crisis that they say they are responsible for. >> sean: the remarkable thing is -- again, i use the analogy, any american day care center and his images were coming out of children in overcrowded positions in the middle of a pandemic with a high rate of covert positivity on top of each other, zero social distancing and not a lot of mask wearing and a lot of illness and now allegations of violence, rape among kids and much, much more. overcrowding, 600%, 700%, 1600%, 1700% and you see the images that we were able to get, it's only the tip of the iceberg, is that accurate? >> that's absolutely accurate and i can tell

valley and here to the rio grande river.ss behind us here. federal officials, texas state troopers patrolling the rio grande river throughout the day. we spent the day yesterday with the state troopers. they're trying to deter migration. their job involves intercepting drugs and rescue operations. >> you know, five-year-old kids in the brush by themselves, people lost in the brush, just, amount of young kids, minors coming across, and just being left in the brush to fend for themselves. >> this become as constant rescue operations? >> yes, sir. reporter: troopers say sometimes cartels will drop off dozens of migrants at one spot to distract border patrol and run drugs across at another point. customs and border protection is handling the surge for the government. president biden nominated tucson, arizona police chief chris magnus, who is an outspoken critic of president trump's border approach. the white house reached agreements with mexico, guatemala, honduras, they will surge their security forces to their borders to try t

that is what we're hearing from the criminals and the traffickers across the rio grande. we saw signs on the ground directing migrants to the facilities where they will then turn themselves in. and we spoke to the border patrol agents. they told us that their jobs got an awful lot harder on january 20, which is the day that joe biden became president of the united states. president biden flipped over the sign and sent the clear message over the world that said the united states border is now wide open. because of that clear message, border patrol arrests have doubled since january. in march, border patrol took 171,000 migrants into custody. nearly 19,000 of those are unaccompanied minors. that's an all-time record in the united states. and the pace that we're on now is to get to two million aisle legal immigrants crossing our border this very year. according to the secretary of the homeland security nominated by president biden, this is the most in 20 years, the most in 20 years right now, this year, under president biden. the biden white house has essentially told the wo

due to the number of unaccounted children that are typically detained in the rio grande valley and within our community, our work reaches some of the highest numbers of unaccompanied children nationally. some of you may be wondering who are these children and why are they coming? a large number of these children are from central american countries, in particular honduras, guatemala and el salvador. the reasons that they, have over the course of time pretty been fairly consistent. they are escaping violence in their own countries come seeking family reunification, escaping abusive situations, abandonment, and abject poverty. we have seen some new trends recently with children who are coming because of the pandemic and how it has impacted their country and services in the country as well as -- that happened last year and how they impacted the structure and rally of their lives in the country. so probar provides legal services to these children while they're in federal custody. this is critical and this is because all children, every single one of these unaccompanied children is going to be

they're dealing with this every day, hundreds of migrants crossing the border here at the rio grandeifferent processing facilities which is what they're doing right now. the rio grande valley is certainly the busiest on the southwest border which, compared to the same time last fiscal year, 187% increase. rio grande valley sector, 242% increase in the number of apprehensions, that's according to customs and border protection. this is texas. you go a few states over to arizona, according to an exclusive letter from the attorney general of the state, has invited the hhs secretary, health and human services secretary, javier becerra, to take a tour. letter says, quote: i write with a crucial invitation for you to join me for a tour of the southwest border in arizona at your earlier availability. there could be no doubt that the conditions here now constitute a clear threat to the health of arizonans and the thousands of undocumented immigrants that are entering our country with even passing day. each passing day. you have now also negotiation as you guys mentioned, roberta jacobson, she

with me now is eduardo leite, governor of rio grande do sul. thank you for your time.sy man. can you describe the situation for us, as you see it, in brazil? mike, thank you _ as you see it, in brazil? mike, thank you for— as you see it, in brazil? mike, thank you for letting - as you see it, in brazil? mike, thank you for letting me - as you see it, in brazil? mike, thank you for letting me be i thank you for letting me be here with you. what we are facing here in brazil, what we have here, it is a sad situation that is the consequence of the lack of co—ordination on the federal level by the national government. we have here, president bolsonaro, confronting governors and mayors. and the main tool that we have, the main weapon we have do not allow the coronavirus to spread in an easy way, and the weapon is the social distancing. what we have, what we have seen all over the world, is other countries such as the united kingdom leading with coronavirus and covid with not only the vaccination because of vaccination starting to get expanded rate now, with social distancing

this is the rio grande valley and really is a surge within a surge in the southwest border according to customs and border protection you compare this point in the fiscal year to last fiscal year it's up 187% and here in the rio grande valley you are looking at more than 240% points and that is something that you are seen certainly on a daily basis here. the road we got behind this year is about 1 mile away from the rio grande river, the border with mexico and we, throughout the day, have seen a number of border patrol buses and vans and migrants have been walking up to border patrol as they are processing the folks who come into border patrol custody. there are also a number of congressional delegations that have come down to the border region and now it has really become a political fight. >> the biden administration, through the stroke of a pen, reversed the asylum agreements at the president trump negotiated and the remaining in mexico policy that i listen to border patrol and not politicians and they tell me there's a direct cause-and-effect between that reversal and the crisis
