Nbcs Gabe Gutierrez gabe reporter craig, goo morning. Wev indocumentados en la frontera, undocumented migrants here at the border for months, but because the government so heavily restricts access to these facilities, we just didnt know how dire the situation had gotten for some of these children, but now lawyers and immigration activists are speaking out, and what were hearing is stunning. This morning nearly 300 Migrant Children detained in filthy, crowded conditions at this Border Patrol station near n other facilities lawyers who visited them say the the children had no access to soap or toothbrushes these are the most appalling conditions i have seen in my 12 years of representing children and families who are detained. The government says its overwhelmed and struggling to find space for the growing number of undocumented immigrants being apprehended crossing the southern border, 144,000 in may, the highest monthly total in 13 years. Weve seen the surge firsthand as we reported live last month, this woman told us she was desperate to bring her 2yearold son to the u. S.

Youre scaring the children of america. Why let the political debate hurt these children . They could be impacted for years. If the democrats would change the asylum laws and the loopholes, which they refuse to do because they think its good politics, everything would be solved immediately reporter congress is considering whether to approve 4. 5 billion in emergency money for food and medical supplies for unaccompanied children here at the border. Craig. Gabe gutierrez for us there in texas thank you. Immigration will certainly be a big topic during the first set of primary debates here in miami tomorrow night and preparations are well underway here inside the Adrienne Arsht center Peter Alexander joins us now with more on how the candidates are getting ready. Youre always on the campaign trail, and the trail has led right here. Welcome to miami. Hot enough for you yes. This is the first time many of the candidates will have this National Audience to demonstrate command of the issues and perhaps some personality as well the first time multiple women will be on stage the back to back debate showcasing the largest and most divorce lineup of democrats in history. Reporter as democrats get ready to mix it up in miami, former Vice President joe biden may face the toughest criticism. The debates a chance for his 2020 rivals to try to dent his front runner status. But biden remains focused on President Trump taking aim at a new miami herald oped bashing the president over immigration, writing its clear trump is only interested in using his policies to assault the dignity of the Hispanic Community and scare voters to turn out on election day. President trump in a new interview with the hill accusing biden without any evidence of lying about why president obama has not endorsed him. There has to be some reason why hes not endorsing him he was the Vice President. They seemed to have gotten along, and then he goes and lies and says i asked the president not to endorse me. Give me a break. Even before the field of 20 democrats takes the debate stage, theyve been trying to upstage one another with sweeping policy proposals. Bernie sanders unveiling a plan to erase all student loan debt, nearly 1. 6 trillion worth paid for by new taxes on wall street. We are punishing people and punishing them severely for the crime of getting a higher education. Beto orourke preparing a plan to pay for future Veterans Health care.

Buttigieg announcing he supports the county prosecutors call for an independent investigation so the candidates are on their way. Any word on how theyre preparing . Well, they have all sorts of strategies for different candidates right now miami obviously going to be the center of the democratic universe over the next 72 hours. As for those different strategies the front runners joe biden and Elizabeth Warren have been off the trail in recent days tonight warren is going to warm up with a town haul in miami, beto orourke has one as well. Two other faces to watch, Kamala Harris and Bernie Sanders, they are preparing privately before they take the stage. This is about democratic voters getting kind of their first look at the field, 20 of the candidates, not all of them, but 20 of them what are the issues that democrats are talking about out on the trail just ask, theyll certainly tell you about it. In a recent nbc news wall street journal poll defines it for us this poll found that the most important issue for democrats, health care, climate change, the economy and guns, but perhaps the issue that could trump all of them is electability. One of the biggest motivating factors for democratic voters as they head into the 2020 election is who can defeat donald trump peter, thank you so much. Well see you over the next few days here in miami the debate tomorrow and thursday, ten candidates facing off each night ill be one of the moderators along with lester holt, chuck todd, Rachel Maddow and jose diazbalart.

Yes, police in chicago have now released hundreds of unseen files connected to the Jussie Smollett case and include video of the actor wearing a noose and speaking with officers moments after he reported being the victim of a hate crime, an attack that police say was staged nbc National CorrespondentMiguel Almaguer has more on that good morning. Reporter good morning, Chicago Police say they want to be transparent, so now theyve released more than 60 hours of videotape evidence they say it proves there was never an attack, that this was all a publicity stunt. When Chicago Police arrived to interview Jussie Smollett in his apartment, the actor who claimed to be the victim of a hate crime was still wearing a white noose tied around his neck you want to take it off or anything yeah, i do. I just wanted you all to see it. The new videos document in part smollett speaking to officers. Poured bleach on me. Who then asked if they could turn off their body cameras. Turn it off yeah, youre giving us permission to shut it off . Releasing more than 60 hours of footage, cpd says the trove of evidence is all part of smolletts elaborate hoax for publicity. He did this all in the name of selfpromotion. Reporter after becoming suspicious of his story early on, police said smollett staged the attack with these men, the osundairo brothers hoping it would be captured on camera, while the alleged beating never was, the subsequent arrest of the men at Ohare International did get recorded the osundairos later told detectives smollett paid them 3,500 to stage the hoax cpd releasing this text from before the incident. The actor telling one brother, might need your help on the low. You around to meet up and talk facetofa facetoface video also shows the men leaving the alleged crime scene and in a cab headed home. They were never charged. Ive been truthful and consistent on every single level since day one. Reporter with smollett maintaining hes the victim, a grand jury indicted the actor on 16 felony charges, but prosecutors dropped the case in exchange for Community Service and court costs. Its mr. Smollett who committed this hoax, period. Reporter this morning Jussie Smollett still facing no charges after what some say was the role of his life. While county prosecutors did drop all those felony counts, a special prosecutor has now been assigned to the case after allegations of mishandling by the d. A. s office. That means the case could be reopened and smollett could be charged again. This saga still far from over. Sheinelle. To be continued miguel, thank you.

This line of storms moving through with cloudtoground lightning, and it is really producing a lot of rain at this moment it is going to continue to move up through long island and eventually through connecticut and make its way into the new england area as we go through the day. It starts off as a warm front, so youll notice its very, very muggy outside as well ask pand of the reason were seeing the torrential downpours is theres so much moisture in the air. That will move through new england through most of the day. The rain will wind down in the new york, new jersey area by the the time we get into early this afternoon and then that cold front will clear the area. We could see some places like across central and southern rhode island picking up close to three inches of rain theres another area where we could see some stronger storms today, and that once again includes chicago stretching through southeastern iowa and especially back through kansas city and parts of northeastern kansas where we could end up seeing large hail, damaging winds in excess of about 60 miles per hour, and we cant rule out tornados, although they will not be widespread still, that is a zone we need to watch for strong storms today.
