the us department of homeland security is aware of the caravan. the texas national guard says it's already strengthening the border. and these images film, just shortly after the caravan got on the way, even if they do make it the border, many migrants will end up detained and sent straight back to tampa schuler. earlier, we learned that the u. s. is detained, more than 1700000 undocumented refugees in migrants on its board with mexico in the past year. the highest number of recorded well, let's go live now to john home and who's following developments from mexico city. and what do we know about the response to this caravan and about how they've been dealing with any attempts to to prevent them making that journey to america's border. yeah, there has already been one attempt to stop them getting through. just to say we're heading out of top of tula, that there was a sort of shield wall set up by the country's national guard. and usually in the, over the last 2 years in which these caravans have been pretty spectacularly unsuccessful. that's been t

us. department of homeland security looking to waive restrictions for these refugees if they pass a background checks. >> the fox news report, what is going on. >> this is concerning to a lot of people. i read a statement from the biden administration on this. it is a little bit wordy. their perspective is there were people working for the afghan government before the taliban takeover in 1996 who continued to work for the government under taliban rule. some of them under duress. they may have felt forced to so the biden administration is saying those people are victims and if they pass other forms of screening should be allowed into the united states. is the statement i was talking about. many individuals who worked in civil service positions before the declaration of the islamic emirate of afghanistan meaning the taliban in 1996 continue to do so after the declaration, some did so under duress or other situations of hardship. some use their positions in humanitarian capacities to mitigate the repressive actions of the taliban regime often at great personal risk. some of these civil servants l

department of homeland security. let's get more from ryan nobles joining us from capitol hill now. rmer department of homeland security officials? >> well, wolf, this is significant because these two top dhs officials, chad wolf and chad cuccinelli were in power during the time between the november election and what happened on january 6th. we know during that timeframe, the trump white house was going to great lengths to try to get government agencies to get involved in what they believed or at least tried to claim was election fraud across the country. in fact, there's even a report of rudy giuliani, the former president's lawyer at the time, reaching out to ken cuccinelli and suggesting perhaps dhs needed to go in and impound some election voting machines across the country. so the committee could ask both of these men serious questions about the pressure campaign that was put on the trump white house to the department of homeland security during that period of time, and what if anything that could have possibly led to what we saw here on january 6th. we should point out, wolf, a

of the week coming up. locay subway station as reporter brielle a. thomas et tells us it's part of a study on airborne terrorism threats. researchers from the u. s department of homeland security and the massachusetts institute of technology plan to use the nation's largest public transit system as part of its study on airborne terrorism threats to officials say scientists will set up testing devices and deploy a non toxic gas across 120 different locations operated by transit agencies both above and below ground. and at subway stations. the study will track the movement of those particles and simulate the aerosol release of a biological agent in a densely populated urban environment. this is not to signal that people that there's an imminent threat. michael balboni, a former homeland security adviser for new york state, calls it more of a proactive stance to help authorities enhance emergency preparedness in the event of an attack. the study is part of ongoing testing under the federal urban threat dispersion program and was also conducted across parts of manhattan, queens and brooklyn. back in 2016. similar testing has taken place in boston and washington, d. c and i think p

of this. they could speak to whether or not the white house was using a pressure campaign on the department of homeland securitye election. so, you know, victor and alisyn, these are all very significant developments in terms of this investigation. >> it sounds like it. okay, ryan nobles, thank you for that. >>> let's discuss all this with elliot williams, a cnn legal analyst, former federal prosecutor, and former deputy assistant attorney general. elliot, great to see you. i want to ask what the incentive is for these former trump staffers to comply, because after they've seen steve bannon flout the rule of law, and at the moment, face no harsh consequences, why should they feel that they should comply with this house committee? >> yeah, you know, alisyn, the overwhelming number of people who appear before congress do so voluntarily. they have a huge incentive to do so because they have leverage over the committee if they're appearing on their own terms. they can negotiate things like the length of their testimony, the time of their appearance, how many lawyers are in the room, how many staff are in the room.

of our reporters and friends. claire mccaskill is here. also joining us from the department of homeland security miles taylor is here and currently msnbc's national security analysis, frank figluzzi is here. frank, let me start with you. i believe some of the court documents themselves list facebook places where people gathered and connected and sought information. why not just say we built frankenstein, we're sorry. we'll take it down and make sure it doesn't lead to an insurrection whose mission statement is to hang the sitting vice president? >> first, you are right. if you review the charging documents written by prosecutors in the january 6th cases over and over and over again you see references to social media either posting plans beforehand posting activity during or bragging about it afterwards. and there is a role there that has been played. it is significant. you are going the see it come forward in the trials of these people charged for january 6th. now, why isn't facebook completely owning up to it? look, first, it's ugly stuff if they say we helped do this really bad thing. they bet

used in a medical setting. the department of homeland security is investigating patty the room but acknowledged to cnn that fakects do reach the u.s. >> i think all of us would love to get to a point that not a single counterfeit dangerous good entered the u.s. >> reporter: in march, the company also informed the fda which that same month acknowledged that patty the room was using fake safety documents for its shipments. the fda did not alert concerns about patty the room until august, five months after they were tipped off. it would not comment on the ongoing investigation. but in any case, so desperate was the need for ppe, that some of the normal checks on imported nitrile gloves had been temporarily waived. >> there was just no other answer. that opened the floodgates for all the nefarious behavior. >> reporter: the fda told cnn that to help ensure the u.s. has enough gloves during the pandemic, it does not intend to object to the distribution and use of patient-examination gloves that lack full safety paperwork as long as they meet standards, and don't create an undue risk. in reality, there are no routine

which is a company the trump administration actually flag in 2017, the department of homeland security said that's the company is usingfor the purpose of providing information on u.s. critical infrastructure to the chinese communist party had that was confident that that was taken place which is why our administration it took all of those out and basically advance the policy where we would not use that chinese technology throughout the concerns that while way and company's control by the chinese communist party they pose to our national security. so like so much of the biden administration has done on national security lately it makes very little sense and for trucks are national security is not as good as u.s. technology in the drones and it's hard to make sense what is doing this other than it is consistent with the biden administration's taking a softer approach in trying to promote a false narrative that somehow china is a competitor. not an adversary and you would think that the lessons learned from covid-19 would teach everyone that china is not to be trusted and that moves like this are harmful to our national

a company that the trump administration actually flagged in 2017, department of homeland security said that specific company was using.s. critical infrastructure to the chinese communist party and that was moderate competence that that was taking place which is why our administration took all of those out and basically advanced the policy where we wouldn't use that chinese technology, you outlined the kind of concerns that huawei and companies that are controlled by the chinese communist party pose to our national security. so like so much the biden administration has done on national security lately, this makes very little sense. it's harmful to our national security and also chinese drone technology is not as good as u.s. drone technology so it's hard to make sense out of what's doing this, other than it is consistent with the biden administration taking a softer approach, trying to promote a false narrative that somehow china is a competitor, not an adversary and you would think that the lessons learned from covid would treat -- would teach everyone that china's not to be trusted and that moves like this are harmf

department of defense responsibility. it's a moral imperative. these people risked their lives for us, as you know on this panel better than any of us. and it will be shared with the state department, department of homeland security, health and human services. numerous other federal agencies. and we owe it -- we own it. it's our responsibility. i'm a united states senator, and i continue to have difficulty ascertaining who is in charge. i think we need an evacuation czar, a point person on refugee resettlement whose mission is public and who is known to the american people to be in charge here. so i would like to ask you, how do we insure that there is an official in charge, a point person, someone to insure that afghan children receive schooling, that there are language services, that they receive medical care, and can you give us an update on what the status is? >> well, again, senator, thanks for all -- for your sustained interest and for all that you have done to continue to help get people out. and there is a process. there is a mechanism. state has responsibility, as you know, for the continuing -- for being the lead to continue to evacuate american citizens and siv applicants out of afghanistan. that proce

us the american leaders knew beach high spence in his opinion, smacks of hypocrisy. just against morality and everything. if they take the money from the state department, department of homeland security and build a wall around the beach shown and leave united states america, want to protect all the laws that us and just take that money and build a wall around get phone for him. so we need to check the stuff that the most new state population on like the nice me for that. so me a to me and support me, but it's not at the agenda that's pushing, you know, it's, it's very popular in america and he's afraid that we get property tax. so awesome this we've been a while to keep it's very hypocritical because he's been pushing off know, bought a while on the board that in and better want to spend tax some money to put a board a wall around your beach. but that's very good about it. i have a little brain can feed it and, and think the same as price surges in the us show, no sign of easing anytime soon. the secretary of treasury has said inflation rates are likely to remain out near decade heis until at least the 2nd half of next year to give you an idea of how about hitting people in their poc

partisan political use of federal law enforcement use of power meant for al qaeda that was aimed at terrorists. talking about the national threat assessment center, the homeland security departmentu know the fbi and secret service and what parents are basically saying, listen, this isn't just about teaching students the history of racism. it is actually indoctrinating students to divide them based on the color of their skin. it was basically talking about students in that way too and toxic agenda, agendas with things like porn in school books and school libraries. but it seems like the white house didn't take the time to listen to the parents. what do you say? >> i think they should have listened to parents. as i said parents know their children the best, not school board members, not elected officials, not the government. they should not get involved but they have to listen. exactly parents want to talk about what their children need and what kind of an education they have to teach at school. so you know what? the white house, why they get involved with it, why national schools, school boards association, they called these parents domestic terrorists. i mean doesn't make any se

us a bit about the national faith & blue weekend. guest: it's the most consolidated community outreach project in american history. the department of justice, homeland security and literally every major national law enforcement professional and membership association is partnered together with us. several years ago, pedro, i recognized we were going in the wrong direction when it came to police and community matters. in the aftermath of some of these terrible tragedies that we have seen, i knew we needed to create a movement of collaboration because every time there is a strain between police, communities, crime and violence escalate and affect the most vulnerable among us. i knew we needed to create something massive into major to build a movement to bring lawton wiseman and communities together to deal both with the tensions and the officer involved tragedies, mutual bias and engaging the community, the public, with public safety. there is a lot of conversation across the country now about the need for police reform and there certainly needs to be some reform in terms of use of force around those kinds of matters, but the greater need for reform is relatio

of news coming in for you. this debate, where is the education department on school boards nationwide letting things like school books loaded with porn into school libraries? instead of using the fbi and homeland securityo go after parents, how about appointing that firepower at drug gangs, antifa rioters and criminals crossing border. merrick garland facing scrutiny over his family ties to a consultancy that has multimillion dollars contracts with school boards to do things like data mine information on your schoolchildren. that consultancy has ties to facebook's mark zuckerberg. more than hundreds protesting against president biden in michigan. the brand new reason why progressives are so angry with the president now. did he just tank his own agenda? we've got top democrat terry mcauliffe caught on a hot mic saying quote, president biden is unpopular. plus the update on general mr mcmaster testifying that 1000 americans are still stranded in afghanistan. and the news that the taliban released the terrorist suicide bomber from bagram airbase just days before he murdered 13 u.s. troops. and more on president obama's government ethics czar, warning that hunter biden should stop capitalizing on his acces

department of homeland security secretary. and we don't know what's coming out of that. but you're right, we didn't useat the trump administration did. in fact, mexico was very helpful beyond just the remain in mexico policy. there were troops, there were fell ralis -- federalis using mexican forces helping along the southern border of mexico and along our border. it's a major, major problem. vice president harris is going for root causes but we have not seen her on this issue. >> no, we have not. now we're getting reports from bill melugian that cartel members have been shooting across the border at border patrol and texas rangers have started to investigate. if people start letting off rounds from the mexico side to our side of the border, anything can happen. >> bill is so good down there. he has a lot of contacts. basically it's like hitting a balloon. they go to one spot. and then the cartels move everybody to the other spot. and that has really frustrated border patrol. and it's enabled the cartels to move a lot of the material and the people across that border. >> you have the big book out. it's

joining us now miles taylor, former chief of staff at the department of homeland security under former president trump. miles, you know, i think there are two things going on here with nikki haley that are related. one is she is tkg what mike pence is to go and what many people in the republican party are doing, whatever they said before negative about donald trump and the insurrection, they are trying to walk it back, minute by minute, day by day. she is doing another thing, this line of attack on democrats saying they are somehow unamerican. there is a connect there, right? what's more unamerican, supporting some of the things democrats do, we talk about some of the things progressives do, or being acquiesceent to an insurrection at the u.s. capitol? >> i weigh what the democrats are doing against insurrection and find things can't really be prepared. you used the operative word, political gymnastics. she is putting herself, frankly, though, in an impossible position. while posturing for the presidency, she's also pro straighting herself at the feet of donald trump. that is a difficu

s. department of homeland security is aware of the caravan and the texas national guard says it's already strengthening the board. up out there is john holeman joins us live now from mexico city. this is a, a grueling and treacherous johnny for these refugees and migrants. john, tell us about attempts that have been made to, to prevent them from making their way to the you us? yeah, exactly married. this is a pattern that we've seen repeating again again over the last 2 years after the 1st caravans, which involved thousands of people were in some way successful in getting up at least as far as tiquana on the border with the united states. what makes can officials have done since then is firstly, tried to prevent people from getting into mexico toll on their southern border. and then once they are in southern mexico, they've been trying to combine them in a city called tap. a chula which is one of the biggest cities on the southern border with guatemala. that's what's been happening for quite a few months now, with haitian as well as central america migrants trying to get out are many of them in the united states. now what's happened now is a lot of t

we needed a new security architecture to keep us safe, which included the creation of the department of homeland security. it also, by the way, was the recreation of this committee as the committee on homeland security and governmental affairs. to a large degree, you have to say we have been successful. we have not had a mass casualty foreign attack during those years. i don't think any of us thought that was possible on 9/11. the reason for that success is not because the terrorists have stopped trying. it's thanks to our armed forces, intelligence community and law enforcement that we have succeeded in stopping those terrorists. this hearing is timely. a little more than 20 days ago, the last american troops withdrew hastily from afghanistan and the taliban once again took back the government of afghanistan. the new taliban looks very much like the old taliban with terrorists on the united nations security council's black list at its highest ranks. in fact, the leader of the network, a u.s. designated terrorist organization which maintains close ties to al qaeda was named the acting interior m

of us to team up on key races and overarching political goals with our long time political opponents, the democrats. joining us now, the authors of this column former chief of staff at the department of homeland securityormer president trump, miles taylor, and former epa administrator and former republican governor of new jersey, christine todd whitman. governor, to you first, this is quite a step. this is quite a step. how did you come to this decision that you would implore other republicans to support democrats? >> because i believe in the constitution. and it is time that our elected officials remember they took an oath to that, not to a party, and what i have seen is that unfortunately donald trump has created what i would call a -- it is just a cult. there isn't a party anymore. if you don't have a core set of values, if you don't have a platform which they didn't adopt at the last convention because he didn't want them to, the only thing you stand for is whatever he tells you on a particular day and that is not my definition of a political party. and this country needs two centrist political parties. it is important to mention we also say that democrats should look to their left and where they

s. department of justice, education and homeland security. additionally, it's asking the u. s. government to use against parents all tools at his disposal. even the patriot act intended to prevent international terrorism by, you know, actual terrorists now, so my thing that all this is a bit over the top, you know, considering most of the lobby groups, complaints are about parents, quote, threats of harassment. it's in other words, just mothers and fathers disagreeing. however, it seems the justice department didn't have to think twice in just 5 days after the letter was sent to us attorney general merritt garland ordered the f b. i to investigate the parents and seek ways to prosecute them and stop this quote, disturbing trend. the department takes these incident seriously, and it's committed to using it so thought a tune resources to discourage these threats, identify them when they occur, and prosecute them when appropriate. i'm direct them. yes, be i work with each us attorney to convene meetings with federal, state, local, tribal, and territorial leaders in each federal judicial district wi
