On up trump. Is moscow about to get tough . Lets get to it. First from the Fox News Desk, nearly all of the millions of immigrants living illegally in america could face deportation at any time. Thats according to new Enforcement Guidelines from the Trump Administration. The Homeland Security departments memo outlines how officials can carry out two Executive Orders from President Trump. Cracking down on illegal immigration. Under the obama administration, they focused on certain groups including hardened criminals. Under the new rules, john kelly writes that officials can target anybody living in the u. S. Illegally. The Home Land Security Department says the orders will not affect anybody who came here illegally as children. The guidelines call for the hiring of 10,000 new Law Enforcement agents and the border would start to be build. But the wording used technology instead of a wall in some areas. The president ban is set to update his Executive Order on immigration coming up. A new draft of the proposal shows the revised ban will target the same seven muslim majority nation but exempts those with visas or green cards. The draft no longer instructs officials to single out and reject visa applications from syrian refugees. Opposing those the plan have called it antimuslim. The harsh critics have accused him of opposing bigotry. The president speaked out about bigotry. Jewish Community Centers yesterday reported receiving a dozen bomb threats. Thats the fourth wave of them this year. Police say somebody toppled as many as 200 grave stones in st. Louis at a historic cemetery. The first daughter ivanka trump called for tolerance. She married Jared Kushner who comes from an Orthodox Jewish family. Heres what the president said hours ago in washington. This tour was a meaningful reminder of why we have to fight bigotry, intolerance and hatred in all of its very ugly forms. The antisemitic threats targeting our Jewish Centers are horrible and painful and a sad reminder of the work that still must be done to root out hate and prejudice and evil. Shepard the president visited the museum to help mark black history month. John roberts is live this afternoon. How is the white house responding to the threats against the jewish communities . Sean spicer defended the president s reaction to these threats against the jewish Community Centers and the vandalism. As you said, he was at the museum of African American history responding to it. The Anne Frank Center released a statement saying the president s acknowledgement is a band aid of antisemitism that has affected his on administration. The president was asked about this last week by a reporter, but the president didnt like the tone of the question so he told the reporter to sit down. Thats what brought this to a head. Heres what spicer said about it a short time ago. Hes been very forceful with his denunciation of those people that attack others because of religion, gender, because of the color of their skin. Theres something that we can continue to fight and make clear that it has no place in this administration. Spicer was asked about the response from the Anne Frank Center for mutual respect. He said for some people, whatever the president says, its never doing to be enough. Shep . Shepard john, what is the white house saying about Immigration Guidelines . The new ones released today or the ones coming up . The big deal this week will be the new Executive Order on extreme vetting. What came out today are instructions. He ran into a big problem because it got blocked in a Federal District court in seattle. The ninth Circuit Court of appeals upheld the judges decision. Thats going nowhere right now. The last couple weeks, ever since that happened at the ninth circuit, attorneys at the counsels office, the Department Of Justice and dhs have been working very hard to write a new Executive Order that released probably thursday or friday, one that they believe will be judicially airtight. Listen to spicer today. The next big piece in the Immigration Profile here that the white house will be the new Executive Order. Is the president confident this will pass legal muster . Were confident that were still going to prevail on the merits of the case. As was seen in the case of massachusetts, once its fully adjudicated, well prevail. The authority is granted to the president to do what he has to to protect the country. Theres an interesting angle here, shep. What sean spicer said theyre going to continue with the court case. Judge napolitano has said over and over again they should rescind the first order which would render the course cases moot. It would remove it from consideration and they could put the new one in there. The white house looks like theyre not going to do that, which judge napolitano says they cant figure out why theyre doing it that way. Shepard sean spicer seems to be walking back the president s attacks on the media. A little bit. Dont forget, its only tuesday. Theres plenty of days in the week left. Look what President Trump and his staff have said recently calling the media the opposition, the enemy of the state. I think theres plenty of room for President Trump to go back out on offense on this. Spicer did appear to walk it back a little. Listen here. The president has been very clear that certain outlets have gone out of their way to not represent his record accurately. Its a concern to him. I think some reporters he has deep respect for the first amendment, the role of the press. Ive addressed this many times. He has a healthy respect for the press. But theres a twoway street. The president realizes that certain outlets have gone out of their way to not be accurate and fair in the coverage of whats going on. You might remember not long ago, shep, the president tore a huge strip off of the media saying hey, i can deal with bad news. I can take it. He thought there was so much hate for him among the press. He might be dialling it back. Its only tuesday. Theres plenty of time for the president to go off on the media again. Shepard thanks, john. A. B. Stoddard is here with us. Hello, a. B. Hi, shep. Shepard new guidelines on immigrants. Ones in the nation illegally. Give us the details as you know them and what it means to people here without documentation. Right. Youve heard all afternoon President Obama deported three Million Immigrants more than any other administration in history. The flow of immigration across the border is lower than its been in ten years. At the same time, not the full extent of the law was not enforced by the obama administration. They targeted people that crossed recently, close to the border and criminals were a top priority, this is a much broader interpretation. While the target is criminals and people that have broken the law, it really is open to anybody that has been here and ends up getting caught up in this in this new sweep. So it doesnt mean theyre targeting them or doesnt mean theyre going to raid certain neighborhoods only to break up families. Thats not their target. Their target is criminals. But if youre living here illegally the definition of what if you have broken the Immigration Laws youve broken the law and therefore youre potentially technically a criminal. So this is going to be how its executed will tell the story right now. Reading the memos, we dont know how it will be executed. Certainly is written very broadly. It will depend on how local police are empowered to help the national to help ice and help the National Agents execute the order. Thats what its going to come down to. Theres 10,000 more immigration and Customs Enforcement agents. 5,000 more border agents. A great deal of resources being put into this. But when you look at it and how broad it can be interpreted, it sounds probably more dramatic than it might end up being in its enactment. Shepard there had been concerns and still are that people who are here without documentation could now be in a position where they cant call the police if something bad happens to them. They can become the target of criminals. They wouldnt have recourse. It would be an unamerican situation. After all, we let these people in here over a period ofobs that want to do. Now the tables have turned and it almost appears theyre the victims. Well, it will certainly be described that way by people on the other side of this issue. Trump is keeping campaign promises. None of this is really a surprise. None of us expected he would be deporting 11 Million People and i dont think he will be. Certainly the number of deportations will rise. There will be families separated and very dramatic stories about people being detained and taken away. Thats going this is a very divisive issue, emotional and feed more opposition to trump. Its not that hes doing anything that he didnt say hes doing to do. Hes not going to deport 11 Million People. Its how in ends up happening on the ground. While the interpretation is broad, the execution of it might actually really be just more resources targeted at criminals. Shepard one retreat that you might notice here is daca stays in place. Yeah. Thats a big surprise. You can see over time, trump was dodging this question. These were brought these were kids born here. No fault of their own. They are they are theyre brought here as Young Children and grown up here. This is something that you saw Trump Backtrack on recently saying that its a very difficult issue. This is the one surprised, that that stays in and one exemption that he gave himself in this memo. It might meet with a lot of conservative opposition but it wont think it was very up popular to go after this subgroup. Shepard thanks, a. B. Thanks, shep. Shepard the kremlin is reportedly working on a profile of. Trump. What the russians have determined about our president. Thats coming up from the Fox News Desk on this tuesday afternoon.

Andre federov and retired putin staffers are working on this profile to help putin prepare important a meeting with trump. The russians have determined that hes a risk taker that can be naive. Federov called trumps battle with the media is a risky game. People in the kremlin believe he wont have the political power to work with russia. Its worth noting the pentagon has done similar studies on vladimir putin. In 2008, one theorized he might have aspergers syndrome. Rich edson here with more.

That haves will advised that the United States stands behind nato. Theres members of both parties of congress that are pushing the Trump Administration not to relax any sanctions against russia. Now theres reports that the kremlin is ording staterun media to curtail their praise of trump because theyre concerned he wont be as friendly against russia as first thought. Shepard now the russians say the old world order is collapsing. Yes. Youre Hearing Statements from Around The World and a number of forums. This comes from the longtime russian diplomat, current foreign minister. He says the post world war ii order is falling. The whole History Stage that can be called post Cold War Order has come to an end. Were convinced the main result is a failure to apply to the new reality. He added that nato is a relic of the cold war. Despite this, Officials Say theres potential for a better relationship between the two countries, shep. Shepard rich edson, thanks.

The Boss At Bright Bart called yiannopouloss positions appalling but did not fire him. Yiannopoulos is holding a News Conference right now. He said he resigned on his own so the alt right can continue and hes starting his own media venture. Welcome home lawmaker is back in session. Feeling the love from constituents in their districts. Given the choice that was before us by far donald trump was the better choice by far. By far. Shepard theres a taste of it. How and Senate Republicans facing protesters, loud booing, heated questions about, among other things, obama care, President Trump in general and other issues. Theres lots of videos on youtube and instagram if you choose to look around. President Trump Supporters urged to give him a chance. Some lawmakers are staying away from hosting public q a sessions. A number of republicans getting in the ring today. Trace gallagher is live with more. For example, shep, Chuck Grassly held a town hall in iowa.

Marsha blackburn, Bill Christmas did and florida Congressman Dennis Ruff are Holding Town Halls in their respective states. All have vowed to repeal obama care and expecting contention gatherings. Shepard many are facing the criticisms because theyre not holding the teen halls at all. Richard burr from North Carolina had graffiti in the sparking lot.

President trumps new National Security advisor has a Doctoral Degree and has accomplished history on the battlefield. What he doesnt have is any experience in washington politics. Coming up as we approach the bottom of the hour and the top of the news, an in depth look at m. R. Mcmaster next. Ase. I didnt think there was anything else to talk about. But then i realized there was. So, i finally broke the silence with my doctor about what i was experiencing. He said humira is for people like me who have tried other medications but still experience the symptoms of moderate to severe crohns disease. In clinical studies, the majority of patients on humira saw significant symptom relief. And many achieved remission. Humira can lower your ability to fight infections, including tuberculosis. Serious, sometimes fatal infections and cancers, including lymphoma, have happened; as have blood, liver, and nervous system problems, serious allergic reactions, and new or worsening heart failure. Before treatment, get tested for tb. Tell your doctor if youve been to areas where certain fungal infections are common, and if youve had tb, hepatitis b, are prone to infections, or have flulike symptoms or sores. Dont start humira if you have an infection. If youre still just managing your symptoms, talk with your gastroenterologist about humira. With humira, remission is possible. From kriv, our fox local station in houston. The latest word is that shots began to fire about 30 minutes ago at what is a level 1 Trauma Center. Location of this is in the southwest area of houston not far from Rice University and just on the edge there of the houston zoo. This Trauma Center on lockdown. I presume not accepting patients now.

Shepard houston texas, reports of shots fired at a level 1 Trauma Center called Ben Taub Hospital, which is off the campus of Rice University and not far from the houston zoo. These are live pictures coming in from our station kriv. Fox for houston and the surrounding area. A moment they were zoomed in to what looked like a sort of triage center were patients were being treated. You can see them on the left. They appear to be zooming in. Heres what we dont know. We dont know if these are patients in the hospital and have been moved out because after all, inside theres been a shooting or because people are being treated. I can tell you this, fox 26 is reporting theres no indication of anybody has been shot. Early reports were of shots fired on the second floor of this large facility. Trace gallagher bringing in new details. What are you learning, trace . The patients you see down there are told those are not anybody involved. They were moved from an area of the hospital that was of some concern. Were getting reports that the shooter, if in fact theres an active shooter and they issue what is called a code white about 15 minutes ago, which is code for an active shooter. They said this is no longer an active shooter situation. So if there is an active shooter in the hospital, were told it was on the second floor. Social media has a lot of reports of people hiding in closets because theyre told this is on clearly full lookdown. We know theres swat teams that have surrounded the building and they sent a message out about maybe 30 minutes ago to Baylor Medical Center next door telling Baylor Medical Center, doctors and residents cannot go to ben taub because of the active shooter situation. Looks like theyre rushing people out. Its our indication these are not people that are injured. Theyre existing patients that are being moved because of their own safety. Again, on the second floor, this is ben taub. Theres about 486 beds in there. It is really one of the preeminent Trauma Centers in the houston area. Its about maybe four miles from downtown. Anybody that knows the houston area would know the zoo is in that area, the Childrens Museum and Rice University is also very near there. You can see kind of the demeanor of the Police Outside of the hospital, which gives us an indication that theyre not hiding because theres no defensive position that maybe the situation is not as bad as it was 30 or 40 minutes ago. Were gathering information, theyre moving people out of the areas of concern because the reports were code white inside Ben Taub Hospital, which means theres an active shooter scenario. Were still trying to see if thats the its the case. Shep . Shepard the folks are on stretchers and going to a separate area. Are they going back in the hospital . It doesnt appear so. It appears theyre making room for more patients. Thats an iv stand or a stand of some sort to hold fluids for a patients. Doctors putting their hair up and a number of people have been scrubbed down for this process. Reports came in at 2 00 central time, which is about 39 minutes ago. Since then, these pictures right now are from ktrk, which is abc 13. Our Network News Affiliate is reporting as many as 200 officers and personnel are making their way toward the hospital. The vast majority have made it there. In addition, they have been sending out new information from police who are describing this singularly as an active shooter situation. But the actions of the Police Department suggest there may very well have been an active shooter situation, it doesnt appear thats the case at the moment. Well have to wait more to find out. This is a staging area outside the hospital. Trace mentioned its by rice, houston zoo, the childrens hospital. Easy access for a level 1 Trauma Center in this enormous and sprawling city with loop after loop of highways all around it, this is the spot where people need Critical Care. In addition, this is a world renowned Trauma Center. If youve been shot or been in a horrible car wreck and your life is in jeopardy, the world always is if they can get you here, if they can get you in this Houston Health center to ben taub, to the Emergency Services there and youre still alive, your chances as good as anywhere in the world. Theyre excellent at what they do. Today it appears theyre caught up in the middle of a situation, the kind of thing they normally treat. Whether anyone has been shot is a Guessing Game and nothing more right now. What we can report to you is what authorities have reported to us. They have reports of a shooting on the second floor of this hospital. Theres always kinds of reports all over the internet what this has been. None of them match. Sometimes theyre just made up. Well tell you what is official and that is from authorities that they have a report of an active shooter situation. That was at 2 00 central time, 41 minutes ago. Now they moved a lot of patients out of the hospital as is clear. You can see a news crew on the bottom righthand side of the screen. A guy there interviewing folks on scene. We have crews on the Ground Waiting to find out the situation in the hospital. As we showed you a minute ago with the flooding on the west coast, san jose, the Rescue Workers doing their deadlevel best to make sure nobody loses their lives, now the Critical Care workers and everybody else is making sure that the patients are safe. Weve just gotten new word from the hospital through the authorities, Houston Police say theyre searching this hospital. So for theres no reports of any injuries because of any gun fire at all. Again, if you get a report of a shooting inside a hospital, youd have to treat it as an active shooter situation. Thats what they have done. People are all outside of the hospital. 2 42 p. M. So much of life has been disrupted in the hospital as a result of the reports. The thing were not 100 sure of is exactly what happened. Just gotten you can see the officer going into the hospital there with a gun drawn, a long gun. It was on the lefthand side of your screen now that doesnt suggest anything except that police or that Law Enforcement officer was in a defensive mode and who wouldnt be with this record out there. What we dont know is whether they have been able to apprehend anyone or find anyone that might have matched this description or if this was some sort of false alarm which has grown into something large. You can see the number of Police Officers behind the police car there, m54 standing in the background and appear theyre not in the line of fire there. They have to treat things in that matter unless and until they realize the situation is diffused. With the officers taking cover behind their cars, theyre behind vehicles where theres no danger. This is not how they would normally act. If theyre sure nothing is happening in there. The allclear has not been given. No reports of any injuries due to any shootings. This is according to kviv, our station there. Talked to a witness that didnt hear any gun shots. Just yelling code white which means active shooter situation. Theres confusion on the ground. Patients are outside. As many as 200 Law Enforcement officers have made their way to Ben Taub Hospital in southwest houston. Continuing coverage of this Breaking News after this. But with added touches you cant get everywhere else, like claim free rewards. Or safe driving bonus checks. Oh yes. Even a claim satisfaction guaranteeeeeeeeeee in means Protection Plus unique extras only from an expert allstate agent. Its good to be in, good hands. Bringing more patients out. You can see the Police Officers here behind their vehicles. Theres a hospital to the left on the camera. The hospital to the right. The report has been of shots fired on the second floor. New information that we have, there were some children that were at the hospital touring today. The children are safe. We have no reports of anyone being shot at the hospital. Certainly 200 officers have shown up there. From the aerial view from ktrk from abc 13 from the houston area, from the aerial shots you were able to see what appeared to be a staging area for all of the patients that were in the hospital. That is still this is kriv, fox 26 in houston. You can see where they brought them out of the hospital and more and more continue to come. Our texas correspondent, Casey Stegall is watching this. Casey, no reports of anybody hurt at all. Thats right, shepard. We just got off with the houston Police Department before i got on air with you. Officials there say theres no reports of anyone being wounded. In other words, all of the police are going doortodoor, floor to floor and theyre going through every square inch of that hospital. You could think in typically situations like this, if a victim is laid out on the floor, something of that nature, the police would be able to radio that information out rather quickly. We havent gotten that world yet. Its a fluid situation. Hpd says it was a report of Someone Hearing what they thought were gun shots. Nobody physically seeing any victims in the hospital or anything like that. I also did speak to a Public Relations person from the hospital system itself. That individual tells me that the people are being removed, evacuated from the area. Thats why you see a large number of people coming out. Otherwise, the hospital itself deferring to police on this. Police didnt have more, shep. Shepard Casey Stegall watching from the area. Our crews are on the ground, watching in the big wall. Treatments appear to continue and were also watching in san jose, california where the flooding is continuing to rise all across this area. Live pictures coming in from san jose.
