Stephen miller was also heckled at a d.c. eatery and tonight protesters are staked outside of his apartment building. they even staged a protest outside of nielsens home, blaring audio of this child separation at a border facility. these are anarchic, organized spectacles. they are no accident. each flash protest is planned out and choreographed. its planned online first, again, and its meant to shame the political opponent to stoke violence and hatred. and maybe even intimidate people in the fu...

Well bring it to you. to florida now where diane gallagher visited a facility in homestead. what did you see? >> reporter: yeah, so, kate, this is the second facility that i have toured. this right here is sort of a shelter of sorts, run by hhs, for minors, both boys and girls, from ages 13 to 17. you can probably see behind me, it is a former job corps site, it has dormitories in there, outdoor bathrooms, marked for the children. it is a pretty regulated facility. i felt like i almost got mor...

About what exactly melania trump is saying and doing, kind of around this issue. the statement that her spokesperson put out as a crisis was breaking out, we need she said we need to be a country that follows all the laws, also need it -- also a country that governs with heart and then she plans this visit, we learn, to the facility, even before president trump decided to reverse course on the policy. do you think, in your proximity to first ladies, do you think melania trump is trying to create...

Im sure she did. her visit is raising some questions. joining me now, anita mcbride, chief of staff to first lady laura bush. thanks for coming in. >> sure, thank you, kate. >> what do you think of the first ladys unannounced visit to the border facility? >> i think the visit was great. it was important. and she asked a lot of good questions in that round table. i think she also was able to present to us that there is some semblance of a structure around these kids who are in this unfortunate si...

How i can help these children to reunite with their families as quickly as possible. >> the message here, though, is a huge debate. thats the first lady in the olive green jacket. this message on the back, "i really dont care. do you?" in white lettering. she wore the jacket getting on the plane. she did not wear it when visiting that border facility. still, people took notice. some say perhaps the first lady is going rogue. and on the home page of drudge, this first lady fashion fireworks. just...

I mentioned it being regulated. they gave me one, because we kept being the last person to see it. this is the schedule they have every single day. this is what the students do and i say student because they make them go to classes. they have history class, reading class, they do english as a second language courses, you can see it is in spanish, almost everything we saw there was either written in spanish or subtitled in english. we asked about translators for those who speak native languages. ...

Wire. this is in the middle of nowhere. what i see around me are mesquite, brush, sorghum fields, thats pretty much it, other than an airport that is nearby which might be used perhaps to bring the children in to then reunite them with some of the families that are inside. i have talked to one woman who is inside this facility. and this is the woman and her child who have been a voice to the voiceless, to those thousands of women and children who had been separated by immigration officials and t...
