the trump administration decided to criminally prosecute every single illegal border chiesa, instead of simply deporting them. that's what changed. donald trump on his own volition changing the policy to a much crueler one. and he was supported by his whole administration or much of his administration. chief of staff kelly called the policy, quote, a tough deterrent. secretary of homeland security kirstjen nielsen has defended the policy, as have attorney general sessions, white house advisor steven miller, and several other members of the administration. last night, on fox news, attorney general sessions characterized the family's separation policy as a deterrent. so when president trump tweets, quote, change the laws and that his policy is the result of a law, quote, democrats forced upon the nation, he's ignoring reality, he's contradicting his own administration. as commentator after commentator, democrat, republican, liberal, conservative, has said, president trump is simply not telling the truth, and in a cowardly way. no law, no law requires the separation of families at the bo

was setting up to incarcerate kids under this new trump administration policy. tornillo, texas, and that tent city were first, but we have since found out about a whole bunch more locations where the trump administration is stowing these kids that they're taking. last night in the 9:00 hour, the associated press broke a whole new kind of news in this scandal when they were first to report on locations being set up by the trump administration, specifically for, quote, tender age kids. so little kids, toddlers, and babies, relocations, according to the ap, were already up and running to raymondville, to -- excuse me, to raymondville, texas, combs, texas, and brownsville, texas. they're setting up these purpose-built locations to incarcerate babies and toddlers. the ap further reported that another location for babies and toddlers was set to be opened in a houston warehouse, which "the washington post" identified as sitting atncipation avenue in houston, texas. they planned to open that warehouse facility for babies and toddlers in coming days. again, babies and to

own thing and a very powerful speaker but this is the level of outrage summoned by what the trump administration has started doing on the border. but they want this. there is this tension here in terms of what the administration is trying to pull off here. it is not that they didn't know it would create outrage to start ripping 2-year-olds away from parents. it is not like they are trying to assuage people's concerns about the policy. there is a reason the president went out of his way today to deliberately describe immigrants as an infestation in this country. they infest our country -- he said today. white house knows what that means. white house adviser steven miller explained to "the new york times" how much the trump administration loves the outrage over this. how much they are in fact banking on it. how, in fact, that is the point of what they are doing. steven miller telling the "times," you have one party in favor of open borders and you have one party that wants to secure the border. all day long the american people are going to side with the parry that wants to secure the border. not 5

and seen how this plays out and how it continues to play out because of the actions of the trump administrationortant to note that president trump could change this quite quickly with really just a phone call. jacob, i know that you toured a couple of days ago as well a facility with boys inside, the youngest being so years of age. have you gotten a reason, and i know you tweeted about this as well, have you gotten a reason that you haven't gotten access to facilities that house girls and babeies? >> reporter: not yet. just got a note from the department of health and human services that says when we're ready to tour additional facilities we will let you know. we've been inside two of those facilities, myself and my colleague gadi schwartz and there's 98 other hhs facilities across the country, and i want to be really clear. i don't know why they don't want let us in. hhs facilities are staffed with professional social care workers that have the best interest of the children in mind and they do from what i've seen a pretty exemplary job of taking care of these kids and it's in their best intere

acknowledge because as the new york times stated this past weekend, technically there is no trump administration policy stating that illegal border crossers must be separated from their children. what there is instead are many variables hard to disentangle from one another. the current administration stepped up enforcement directives, the so called flores agreement, which requires that children be held for no longer than 20 days. the ninth circuit opinion that applies flores to family units protracted time line for asylum claims, limited detention facilities and a division of responsibility between i.c.e., health and human services and under other agencies. so you can see how this quickly becomes enormously complex because of this overlay of federal law, consent decrees, court judgments, and other divided responsibilities among federal agencies. underlying this complex array of factors is something pretty uncontroversial, though, i think every member of this chamber will agree with the trump administration that we should never be placing children in prisons or jails with hardened criminals when

washington state has filed 28 lawsuits against the trump administration in the last year and a half or so. many of those cases we joined with other states so it's a group effort from democratic attorneys general like myself. but we have filed 28 lawsuits, nine of the cases we had decisions from the lower courts, we won all nine of those. some are still working their way through the appellate process. many of the positive decisions we've gained have come from federal judges appointed by republican presidents. so it's not black and white that you can simply assume because a judge is appointed by a republican or democratic president that they will have a certain orientation or vote a certain way on key issues. that said, the fact that president trump has the potential now to really impact the u.s. supreme court and to your question deeply impact lower courts where many of our cases are initially fought, has significant repercussions. now it will not change how we do our business. if we think the trump administration is violating the law, we'll continue to file lawsuits and we think we'll

how to reunite the families separated by the trump administration's zero tolerance policy on illegal immigration. >> we are joined by political science researcher, a professor in amy, let's start with that tweet where president trump said the immigrants crossing illegally should not receive due process. how are democrats responding to this and what what about the global community? >> globally speaking this is a disastrous policy. in france, the act of separating children from parents has been compared to a human rights abuse and crime against anity and that's in conservative circles. globally speaking this is a disaster. the ability of the united states to influence others through values and to coopt others through embodying ideals. this is diminishing that capacity throughout the world. democrats are outraged because the question of due process is in the united states constitution. this reaction of the president is not that surprising, given his propensity to attack the justice system throughout the campaign and since he has become president. >> you mentioned globally, but talking ab

>> reporter: lester, the trump administration has told us that these separations are temporary, but it turns out, this administration may be creating a significant group of orphaned immigrants. we talked last night about that tear sheet, the piece of paper parents get when they leave this facility. a former i.c.e. official tells nbc news that the trump administration could create permanent separations while children are kept in this facility and parents are deported to their home countries. they don't know when or if they will ever see those children again. >> i know you've been making efforts to get inside one of the girls' facilities to look at conditions there. where do you stand on that? >> reporter: we've asked time and again that we'd like to see not only the girls, but the toddlers, where are they in the country today? we were asked to see photographs of those facilities back in 2016, before the policy was enacted. we politely declined that request from hhs and told them yet again we would like to get insidese >> jacob soboroff, thank you. >>> amid the growing outcry t according

the boiling over, this incredible anger of what the trump administration has been doing to little kidsborder. well, now tonight for the first time we have video footage from another part of the trump immigration policy and the trump administration's treatment of little kids. this footage which we have obtained tonight is the first video from inside a facility that serves kids who have been taken from their parents. it's our first unfiltered look inside one of those centers. and the reason we were able to get that footage tonight is because michael avenatti is now the attorney for the former employee at that facility in new york city who shot this footage. that employee does not want her name to be public, at least at this point. but she did want us to see what she saw. she did want us to see if this footage. michael avenatti, thank you for being here. >> thank you. >> so i am used to talking to you about other matters. your representation of stephanie clifford, aka stormy daniels, has made you a very visible part of some of the unrelated scandals surrounding this administration. how is

but you said that this is a mess created by the trump administration. jake, this mess goes back decades. and we really didn't have an illegal immigration problem when we had the program in the '60s. we had sicircularity of immigrations. farmer worker unions wanted that shut down. the flores decision, for example, really initiated in 1985, and so this is just a huge problem. we don't have the capacity to handle all unaccompanied children, all the family units now flooding our border, because of a host of judicial decisions, legal precedent and laws i think are well-intentioned but have negative unintended consequences that have created this -- these incentives for people to flood our borders. we don't have the capacity. this problem has been around for a long time. >> absolutely, the problem of illegal immigration has been around for decades and obviously president trump inherited it. i'm specifically referring to the policy of 100% family separation at the border taking the kids from the parents. not the overall policy of illegal immigration. let's talk

/china economic relations than the one the trump administration is pursuing. we are delighted to have with us today the secretary-general of cf 40. just to remind people this is completely on the record. we are web streaming it live and we have the benefit of a number of cameras here which we are grateful for the coverage all of the papers for the joint report as well as the specific presentations today are now available on the peterson institute website and the cf 40 website. our first panel will be on china, u.s. trade tensions. my colleague at cf 40 who like me try to summarize and pull over the themes will also speak and our original senior fellow chad will present his latest thinking on how the u.s. can work together with other countries to deal with china conflicts. he importantly gave testimony on this to the china economic commission to the u.s. recently. after a brief lunch break we will have the second panel on the issue of financial opening where we of course have spent so much time and the ed from china for the imf will be speaking along with nicho

that alternate reality has a little bit of competition from several other trump administration alternate realities that have also been simultaneously floated by the administration. senior trump administration officials have variously tried into sift that there is no policy of separating kids from their parents at the border. like this statement last night from homeland security secretary kirstjen nielsen. the administration has also gone through a little spasm now of trying to blame their new policy on an old court ruling, a long-standing legal imperative that long predated the trump administration in which they lament. that excuse suffers from the obvious short coming that if there really was some long-standing law or court ruling that required this policy how is it possible that no previous president, no previous administration ever felt compelled by that law to do what the trump administration is doing now? but they're trying to come up with some way to talk about it, right? that keeps the stink off of them. it's interesting. with all the chaos in washington, denying it and blaming ot

it's been manufactured by the actions of the trump administration, the actions of our president. since past april, over 2,700 children, some of them just infants, have been forcibly separated from their parents. that's about 45 children every single day. these children have been ripped from the arms of their parents. in some cases literally. these children have been imprisoned or deported, and at this very moment, many of these children are being warehoused. some of them put behind what amounts to cages. some of them being covered in thin tinfoil-like blankets that we see handed out to marathon runners. i know that these children are experiencing great fear, trauma, wondering where their parents are, wondering what will happen to them, confused, feeling isolated, alone. they are wondering if they did something wrong. they are wondering what they did to deserve this. but more than this, we know that these children are enduring psychological damage. literally having a physical effect on their brains, pediatricians and researchers know that trauma like this creates toxic stress. the

attorneys general for multistates announced they are about to file a new lawsuit against the trump administrationcy and the executive order order. it says the administration is violating constitution due process rights of the parents and children by separating them as a matter of course and without any findings. and saying the executive order is essentially meaningless. this lawsuit was announced by bob ferguson, who is the attorney general by the great state of washington. does that name bob ferguson of washington state ring a bell for you somewhere? yes, it does because bob ferguson is the state ag, you might remember who filed the first multi-state lawsuit against the trump muslim band back in the first two weeks of the trump administration. about a year and a half later, this will be the 27th lawsuit that mr. ferguson has brought against the trump administration on behalf of the people of his state. watch this space. whoooo. looking for a hotel that fits... ...your budget? tripadvisor now searches over... ...200 sites to find you the... ...hotel you want at the lowest price. grazi, gino! find

that is an administrative directdirec directive from the trump administration. >> the trump administratione a lot of decisions on how to carry forward with this issue. how to prosecute people. whether to prosecute. how to deal with people whom they are prosecuting. including taking children away from families. there is no other way to look at it. you could say there is no policy and they are enforcing the law. they are choosing to enforce the law the way it wasn't enforced before. to say we have to change the law is painting it in a corner. that seems disingenuous. >> there are two bills on the table here where which will go into debate. it appears they have given democrats an issue here ahead of the midterms and maybe more material for late night comedians. here is john oliver. >> the democrats gave us the laws. i want the laws to be beautiful, humane, but strong. >> okay, first, beautiful, humane, but strong? that is not how you describe a law. that is how you describe a viola davis character in a movie tha will win oscar. i cannot stress this enough. there is no law that suddenly requir

this is a trump administration policy. in the meantime, attorney general jeff sessions, who has invoked the bible as justification for the policy, appeared to undermine the administration's claim that the separation policy is not meant to act as a deterrent. >> so yes, hopefully people will get the message and come through the border at the port of entry and not break across the border unlu unlawfully. >> when jeff sessions says that, when he invokes the bible, i think the coure rinians, when they said, one one suffers, we all suffer. we are one in terms of humanity. i want to grow straight to the white house where my dear colleague kristen welker has been working overtime. kristen, i know you just spoke to this individual just a moment ago. yesterday, you asked kristin nielsen over and over where are these toddlers, where are these young girls? and why she has almost 12,000 children under her care, she didn't have an answer. what are the answers today? because we're here in texas and we're looking for them. >> stef, absolu

so this is not a one-off by the trump administration or by the sessions justice department. the most egregious example of this is the joe arpaio pardon. right? the trump folks see themselves as above the law and not sort of confined by law, precedent, or the way sort of the justice department is supposed to operate. let's remember joe arpaio was the sheriff of maricopa county. he was held in contempt of court by a judge because he refused to comply with an order that was to stop integritily discriminating. and so trump pardoned him for contempt. >> and he violated a court order for a judge in a case that was brought by the federal government. right? the department of justice against him for violating civil rights. he criminally violated a contempt of court, and the president pardons him. >> pardons him. so what does that mean the president's view is of the rule of law, of the role of the justice department? the texas i.d. is another example. where they were arguing the justice department for years was arguing and winning on a set of facts about again intentional discriminatio

the trump administration may have uit given a green light to china to pursue more aggressive actions in the region. i have been warning we must watch out for the old kim family playbook used throughout the clinton bush obama administrations the playbook was on the field yet again last night and president trump fell for all of the plays. as in the past north korea showed it is trying to frontload the rewards and delay ncessions as indicated from the post summit statement from the china foreign industry w beyond virginia and beijing already appear to be working together to remove sanctions despite the lack of tangible evidence of denuclearization. number two from the family playbook use a sleight-of-hand to make irrelevant actions seem meaningfule byupposedly demolishing the nuclear test site and north korea claims it has made real h progress despite not destroying a single warhead missile. number three, exploit ambiguity the trump campus so vague and has no clear requirements on north korea. we should want reconciliation not repetition of what has happened decade after decade when the

last week the trump administration said it will go ahead with plans to impose 25% tariffs on $50 billionorth of goods from china. this was after china had previously promised to import more from america to reduce the $375 billion trade surplus in goods it has with the united states. meanwhile, this weekend, finance ministers from the g7 nations expressed their anger with the united states over steel and aluminium import tariffs introduced last week. france's bruno le maire warned that a trade war could begin in "a few days". president trump took to twitter on saturday and said the us had been "ripped off by other countries for years on trade". he argues steel tariffs will protect us steelmakers, an industry vital to national security. but canada's prime minister, justin trudeau, told nbc‘s meet the press that this justification was insulting: the idea that the canadian steel thatis the idea that the canadian steel that is in military in the united states, the idea that that is now a threat, the idea that we are a national security threat to the united states is insulting and unacceptable

i mean the ukrainian government was really in a cross hairs of the trump administration partly because of manafort. manafort was telling trump even during the campaign before he was sort of forced off in august of 2016, hey, the ukrainians are out to get you and they are using me in this evident to drum up this case against me to come after you. when trump was first elected there was thought there would be bad blood between the ukrainian government and the trump administration and this evident to essentially call off the dogs, to end investigations in ukraine of paul manafort. >> right. >> was seen as sort of an olive branch by the ukrainian government. and as part of that, konstantin kilimnik was essentially released -- told that he could go his own way. he went right back to moscow where he lives with his family in a house not far from one of the key airports there in moscow. and my sources the me, he is so unworried, i guess is one way to look at it, by these charges he doesn't even have a lawyer who he is working with right now. >> i don't think he is going to find himself in ameri

(applause) we're a country of compassion, a country of heart. you can't do a fatality on someone and then call it friendship that is not how it works. because this administration did create this policy. all right, it's pretty balancesy to claim congress for it when thee people from your administration already said it was a trump team idea. it's bs. it's

protests unfold around the country in response to the supreme court ruling to uphold the trump administration's muslim ban. e rst iteration of president trump's muslim ban, you might remember, didn't survive the first weekend of the new administration. the second iteration of the muslim ban was partially blocked before it even went into effect and then the rest of it expired. since then they've been pushing for a third iteration of the muslim ban, and today that is what was upheld in supreme court. in a 5-4 decision, the conservative majority decided to discount the anti-muslim statements from president trump that he has used consistently to explain the policy and justify the policy. the majority instead decided to believe there were national security concerns of some kind that must be what really undergirds the policy, regardless of what the president has said. it was a 5-4 decision. all the hardcore conservative justices appointed by republican presidents sided with the trump administration, including kennedy and neil gorsuch. they held the supreme court open for over a year rather than hold

the trump administration might have unwittingly given a green light to china to pursue more aggressive actions in the region. now, i have been warning that we must watch out for the old kim family playbook, one that has been used throughout the clinton, bush, and obama administrations. well, the kim family playbook was on the field yet again last night, and president trump fell for all of the plays. as it has done in the past, north korea showed that it is trying to, number one, front-load the rewards and delay concessions. as indicated by the postumt statemenromhina's foreign ministry, pyongyang and beijing already appear to be working together to remove sanctions despite the lack of tangible evidence of denuclearization. nuer two from the kim family playbook -- use sleight of hand to make irrelevant actions seem meaningful by supposedly site a missile engine testst stand, north korea is claiming it has made real progress despite not destroying a single warhead or missile. and number three in the kim mily playbook -- exploit ambiguity. therump-kim agreement is so vague that it imposes

important to acknowledge because as the new york times stated this weekend, there is no expressed trump administration policy stating that illegal border crossers must be separated from their children. so the new york times hardly big trump cheerleaders has said there is no expressed trump administration policy stating that illegal border crossers must be separated from their children. in other words, this is as a result of other consent decrees and laws which are within the power of congress to change. in fact, i think every member of this chamber will agree that we should never be placing children in prison cells or jails with hardened criminals when their parents are being prosecuted. by the same token, i don't want family members to be separated from one another as a result of dhs and administration officials enforcing the laws that they are sworn to uphold. we have to keep family members together and prevent unnecessary hardship, stress, and outrage. the good news is we have it within our power to find a better way because parents who are waiting court proceedings shouldn't have to do so separate
