department of homeland security. yesterday, secretary kiersten nielsen announced she is stepping down. now as many as 4 other top officials including the head of u.s and immigration services and the homeland security general counsel are also expected to be forced out. today, california senator dianne feinstein described the moves as a purge of senior leadership aimed at remaking the department of homeland security and to the president "personal anti-immigration agency." >> you're watching ktvu fox 2 news at 6:30 pm. some uc berkeley students are reporting mice, bedbugs and possibly mold in their campus dorms. they say substandard living conditions were the last thing theyworry about at the elite university. >> they say what is worse is the university has not been much help. more tonight from ktvu's cristina rendon on . >> from tattered curtains to rodent traps stern hall has seen better days . >> there is a laundry list of issues in stern everything from mice to bedbugs to know security at night and broking broken washing machines, cold showers. >> reporter: the dorm, built in 1942 is home to annabelle long and daniel. we first noticed we have bee

of people who live in this country illegally who are counted the same as u.s. citizens and people who followed our laws and entered the country legally. the department of homeland security has great data on legal immigration and the number of naturalized u.s. citizens. we have this information because people followed the rules and entered the right, legal way. the fact is that we don't have reliable data on illegal immigration. estimates by dhs seem out of date the moment they are released. the most recent estimates by dhs are from 2015. even dhs relies on census data. secretary, my point is, we must ask the citizenship question so we can get the data we need to have a full and honest debate about immigration in this country. if we don't ask the citizenship question, we are all debating without knowing the facts. mr. secretary, in your opinion, how can the citizenship question better inform the debate over immigration? sec. ross: the census question will not ask about legal status of the respondent. it simply asks about the factual status, citizen or not, and some questions about where they came from. there is nothing in the census data that can be used by enforcement a

of ice is new enforcement what looked like. u.s. immigration and customs enforcement ice is not a new body it's current incarnation the largest investigative arm of the department of homeland security was part of a restructuring effort in the wake of nine eleven and it's not as though the obama administration didn't deport undocumented workers as many as twenty thousand a month by twenty sixteen but donald trump has gone further during his first week in office the president signed an executive order that rewrote the rules on who i should prioritize in its operations making virtually every undocumented immigrant in the country all ten point seven million fair game for arrest and deportation whether they had a criminal record or not the former director of home publicly stated that the dave clark from crossing. over they should all of you in this country legally new committed a crime but enter this country you should be uncomfortable you should look over your shoulder and you need to be worried then i did something which last administration had not done the actually this and every single process discretion to do so. after handing deporting. anyone who comes to attention became the new

top pentagon officials are backing a department of homeland security request to allow members of the u.s. military to come in contact with migrants along the u.s.-mexico border. if approved, the plan would provide waivers for about 300 troops to work as cooks and drivers for immigration agencies. the plan would also bring in military lawyers to work on immigration cases in civilian courts. in massachusetts, federal prosecutors have charged a state judge and a former court officer with obstruction of justice for allegedly helping an undocumented immigrant evadedece agents at a district courthouse in the city of newton. judge shelley richmond joseph and officecer wesley macgregegor helped an undocumented man sneak out of the court house through the basement back door, knowing ice agents were looking for him in the front lobby. both joseph and macgregor pleaded not guilty. a lawyer for macgregor called the charges factually wrong and legally questionable and "federal immigration enforcement run amok." in los angeles, health officials have ordered a quarantine for over 1000 students and staf

homeland security secretary yesterday, and then today he fired the head of the u.s. secret service. there are also now reports he's about to fire a number of other department of homeland security officials including the number three official at the agency. he apparently needs her out next so he can install hiss preferred replacement. if he goes through that process of firing the number three official to make room for the acting guy he want to put in place that ofg will mean trump will need another acting official to take over that kurn current guy's job. just in homeland security alone it'll mean we'll have an acting secretary, no deputy secretary. the next person down the chain of command is the number three official in the department. that's the person who is reportedly about to be fired as well. there's also a acting head of fema and now a new acting head of i.c.e. there's an acting inspector general at the department. we also are about i guess to have a new acting head of the secret service. >> i mean, when the new acting secretary of homeland security starts going to cabinet meetings and starts appearing at white house events and starts having to answ

u.s. this comes as the president overhauls the department of homeland security to get tougher on immigration. so far, five senior officials have been purged. that move orchestrated by presidential advisory and stephen miller. secretary neilson is the biggest name on the way out. >> it's going to be a tough job because the president wants whoever is in that position to be tough and that means separating families and communicating policies that a lot of people object to. >> customs and border protection commissioner kevin will take over as acting dhs correct and president trump has been pushing to reinstate other policies including one that would separate families at the border. secretary neilson argue that policy would invite court challenges. another new policy being considered is binary choice. that would offer migrant families a choice, stay together in detention or being split while the parents go through the legal process. energy secretary rick perry and former acting attorney general matthew whitaker could be in the running to replace neilson. >>> a pair of gunman stormed an auto body s
