think that's absurd. >> congresswoman zoe lofgren, thank you for joining us from washington, d.c. >> u bet. >> as you just heard congress mom lofgren say, many questions remain about the president's executive order to stop separating families at the border. itses unclear if t separated will be reunited and if so when. the president's order also c ls findefinite detention. but that contradicts a 1997 federal court settlement barring children from being detaedfor more than 40 days. meanwhile, advocates have been raising concerns about the damaging effects of forced separation on children. the president of the american academy of pediatrics said conditions in detention facilities are, quote, traumatizing and that detention exist. and joining me now for a deeper look at these sues a julian aguilar, immigration and border security reporter with the "texas tribune." he joins us via skype from xas. also attorney spencer ander with the aclu immigrant rprhts ject. and chandra gauche ippin, child psychologist and director of the child trauma research program at ucsf. welcome to all of you. chan

that includes south bay congresswoma n zoe lofgren.. today, she talked about her decision.. it's about judicial independence..saying that judges have been under fire across the country for making unpopular decisions. in this case - she points out that a backlash against the light sentence has already led to a change in sentencing laws.. and says a recall is 'not' appropriate... rep. zoe lofgren - it's become a very ugly race. with people calling each other names, it's so unfortunate because i do think this is about the judiciary. the individual who committed the offense was found guilty by a jury. i believe therefore he was guilty. the judge imposed the sentence that was provided by law.i honestly felt it was too low myself. but the law has been changed now. so that it could never happen again. that's the way to deal with it i think. other other lawmakers have agreed with lofgren.... including bay area congresswoma n anna eshoo.. ken and pam?

zoe lofgren - i don't think it's working as people had hoped. what we want is choices. what we're going to end up with might not be that. for ample, in the southern california races, there were so many democrats, so much enthusiasm, that they will divide the vote. it's possible we'll end up with two right-wingers in the general election. instead of a democrat and a republican, which would be a real choice. i don't think that's what people wanted. lofgren points people wanted. lofgren points out that the crowded ballotsin some districts could result in democrats sharing morevote--- winning a place on the november ballot. she says that's not the "spirit of democracy."

secret fisa applications, zoe lofgren democrat from california said she's been around 24 years. she's never seen this being turned over to congress. she spent most of the day reading the fisa application. there is so much information in there, lives would be lost if it was made public. the fear is these republicans are using this material in a very cavalier way. and while you heard rosenstein being attacked by republicans, which is remarkable in its own right, and you may have heard some democrats trying to interject on his behalf, some people including our friend matt miller have been arguing that democrats should actually be asking harder questions of rosenstein, principally, why are you handing this stuff over to these people? why are you breaking with press department? one of the answers i'm told, he's being advised by other members of the cabinet, look, at the end of the day president trump is not going to back you guys on this. you can take a stand and refuse to hand it over, but it's not really up to you. it's his executive branch. house speaker paul ryan has also been si

zoe lofgren, from the state of california. ms. lofgren: thank you, mr. correa. and thanks for organizing this special order. you know, it is a part of immigration law -- it's not a violation of immigration law -- it is a part of immigration law that people fleeing for their lives can come to the united states and apply for asylum. not only is that in our statutes, but also in a treaty we ratified. so people concerned about the rule of law ought to realize this is part of our law. here's what's happening. people fleeing from their lives primarily from central america are going to the ports of entry. in some cases we've received reports, they make their claim and their children are taken away from them, i believe, in violation of law. in other cases, even though they're there to make an application, they're turned away by the border patrol. they then go down the road and find a border patrol agent to turn themselves into to make their claim for political asylum. and when that happens, their children are now taken away from them. we got a report today from the depa
