Relishing that, as well. Boris sanchez at the white house, thank you. Lets dig into the poll numbers with our guests, former u. S. Attorney and former Deputy Attorney general harry litman and kelly jane torrance. Guys, the polls for neil gorsuch showed he had 29 . Why do you think kavanaghs support at just 37 is so low . I think it actually reflects the overall support for the president which is low and falling. Of course, they havent heard from kavanagh yet. It is, of course, exquisitely close in the senate, as well, but if 51 republicans who overall, by the way, represent only about 40 of the Population Wind Up Voting for him as seems to be the indication for now,
before any of that comes to the floor you just mentioned two really important memos he wrote in the 90s. You are going to see a major storm starting on tuesday, democrats complaining that to date they have gotten less than ten percent of the memos that he produced during that time and zero from when he was Staff Secretary which he called the most important influential time for him. They are going to protest bitterly that they cant go forward without him. Not clear what they will be able to do about it. That will be the immediate sort of storm cloud that will fall over the hearings come tuesday. I want to talk more about the special counsel investigation. While the nation was mourning the passing of senator john mccain this weekend the president was airing grievanceps on twitter about the d. O. J. And fbi as new Polling Shows support
of course, president said it has nothing to do with his campaign. Robert mueller, his brief, he was told to investigate anything having to do with the Trump Campaign in russia. There were four federal judges who have confirmed the legitimacy of Robert Muellers appointment and his powers that he has. Rudy giuliani had Given Mueller an unofficial timeline. He said mueller needed to file his report, come to his conclusions by labor day, tomorrow, in order to not interfere with d. O. J. Policy. Does it look like mueller is ready to wrap things up . Yeah. He had done that. I agree with kelly that Rudy Giuliani has not been a very effective advocate for trump. He had proffered this deadline. He is totally wrong. That is not the d. O. J. Policy at all and not even a guideline. I think it doesnt look as
though he will wrap it up. I think it back fires because it means over the next couple of months that the cries of wrap it up will be much harder for giuliani and trump to make. When that period is over, of course, the house either will or will have not flipped. That will really effect the probe in one way or another. The main point, giulianis claim it was all wet from the start and was just his attempt to try to influence the public. Thank you both for being with us. Thanks. Have a great night. Legal limbo on the texas Mexico Border. The stuping report thnning repo growing number of american citizens are being denied pass ports and being thrown into Detention Centers.

Geico motorcycle, great rates for great rides. Anchlths c reports that a growing number of Hispanic Americans in texas are being denied pass ports, held in Detention Centers and could face deportation. That is despite the fact that they have Birth Certificates showing they were born in the United States. Reporter this is no doubt stunning but also it is something that evidently is not all that new. According to the Washington Post it is happening more frequently with the crack down being on those who were delivered by midwest between 1950s sand 1990s. The impact is on hundreds if not thousands of americans. American citizens are being denied u. S. Pass ports and their nationality is being questioned. The Washington Post reports those denied are often latino
living heerg along the bord h border. According to the post, the Trump Administration is accusing hundreds and possibly thousands of hispanics along the border of using fraudulent Birth Certificates since they were babies and is undertaking a widespread crack down. Scrutiny began during the george w. Bush administration and continued through the early days of Barack Obamas presidency. The State Department is not providing current data of the denials so cnn cannot independently verify they have surged under President Trump. Several Immigration Attorneys in south texas paint the picture that it has. One attorney told us he has dozens of such cases in court now. Carlos garcia says he has noticed a particular pattern under the Trump Administration. There is no doubt that the Latino Community is under attack and the tactics that the
government is using throughout their different agencies are a direct attack on members of our community. Reporter the government says that their suspicion stems from people born with the help of mid wives. Some allegedly provided u. S. Birth certificates to babies born in mexico outside of paperwork heavy hospitals. Mid wives are a common option for families unable to afford the labor ward. It is really difficult to try to prove. Im american. I have my papers. I have voted. Arthur who requested anonymity told cnn he has had his Passport Renewal Request denied twice, once during the Obama Administration and again this year. He said he was asked more specific questions this time around. They dont trust that you are a citizen. Reporter the state Department Tells cnn there has been no change in policy adding the Border Region is an area of the country where there has been a significant incident of fraud. The department provided no concrete evidence to support this claim. I have had people walk into my office wear ing a military uniform basically in tears telling me that a superior has indicated that perhaps they arent United States citizens. It is definitely present. Now many who bear the burden of proving their birth place are in limbo. Some of those who are in legal limbo include americans who have lived in this country their entire life. In some instances it is those who served in the u. S. Military. The Washington Post talks about a person was a border
patrol agent. One caveat is that this is at a time where the president is lobbying for stricter Voting Rights laws. Thank you. I want to continue this conversation now with michael wild. He is an Immigration Attorney and author of this book. So good to have you with us. Im glad to get your expertise and perspective on all things immigrati immigration. There is a lot going on. What we heard is that the Passport Denials have happened under past administrations. It is complicated. Its nuanced. Is what is happening illegal . From 1960 to 2008 there were 75 mid wives that were found to have committed fraud. In 2009 the aclu settled a lawsuit because they began to do
this under prior administrations. Is it illegal for the government to ferret out fraud . No. It has a Policy Interest in making sure that if there is fraud that they mark it down. But there is certainly an escalation now at the border on those that are more vulnerable. This is an unprecedented power grip compounded with the building of the wall, the muslim ban, the children being stopped at the border, clients of ours being arrested in green card interviews and the denaturalization unit that the president is putting forward. All of these are all legal, but theyre murky areas where they are intimidating citizens. Here they are citizens. They are officers that are coming back and forth. Mid wives now have to be corroborated with family bibles, Prenatal Records and neonatal or
medical records if you want to g get now they are refusing to give them again. I think it is an unnecessary prosecution. If it is going to be prosecuted it has to be done criminally. They cannot put individuals like this in Detention Centers which has been reported. These are citizens. The d. O. J. In their statement when we reached out tathem about what was going on, they say the u. S. Mexico Border region happens to be an area of the country where there has been significant incidents of citizen fraud. They pointed out applicants with a u. S. Birth certificate and a mexican birth certificate. They say it is on the applicant to prove where they were born. If you live at the border you have reason often to travel to mexico and the United States. The United States is never
offended with a dual national. You have to prove something that you have absolutely no memory of. You have to now substantiate something that people could take for granted. Look, with technology at the foot, i ask you when it came to the children who were being stopped at the border seeking safe haven and now this debate, why arent we using technology . Its so easy to put in positions in technology to make sure you can corroborate this. Every iphone has a date stamp on the photo. You can make this something that you take in your stride. Its the intimidation in this new normal where immigration is a pingpong that is just
unconscionable and unacceptable. These are american citizens whose facilitation should not be inhibited. Imagine a Gentleman Wear Ag uniform being told he is not an american citizen. Its good to have you with us. Thank you for being here. The enemy of the people. That is what the president likes to call the media. Now a man who echoed those very same words is charged with threatening to kill staffers at a major newspaper. A closer look at this case when we come back live in the cnn newsroom.

We have stories that are so big and the media doesnt pick them up. We have stories if it wasnt about a republican or conservative it would be front page of every newspaper. We have them and they dont want to write them. It is a dishonest group of people. I will tell you that. So that was President Trump thursday night. Yet just hours earlier authorities arrested a california man accused of calling the boston globe newspaper and threatening to kill everyone on staff. The suspect allegedly made at least 14 threatening calls often using the phrase enemy of the people. Here he is after his court appearance. Watch. There is no free press of america. America was saved when donald trump was elected president. Had hillary clinton, the criminal hillary clinton, who by the way whose emails were just hacked by the chinese joining us now oliver darcy cnn senior media reporter. It is becoming obvious that President Trumps words matter. A lot of people think that the audience is in on the game. They know that secretly or Behind The Scenes the president is very friendly to journalists. He gets in touch with them. There are a lot of people who when they hear the president these are the enemies of the peemt th people that they take it seriously. You hear it where he threatens to kill everyone on staff or when a person called New York Times reporter and said that he was going to kill him. Other journalists. I know you and me and others get threats all the time where people are saying you are the enemy of the people. Wait until you are gone. Karma is going to come for you. This rhetoric the president displays really does have an effect throughout america and particularly among supporters. The president starting a war of sorts with google alleging political bias with google. Bring us up to speed. He is taking the exact same branding if you will that he has done with the media. He is saying that google and other Technology Giants like facebook and youtube and twitter are biassed against conservatives and they dont like conservatives and are trying to silence them. In the case of google he said that they didnt promote his state of the Union Address which is not true. They did in 2018. The president went on this twitter feed and said they didnt. I think a large amount of supporters probably think that they didnt promote his state of the Union Address. So there is a lot of problems here particularly the
president s rhetoric. There is a conversation about Technology Giants and privacy and a whole assortment of stuff. I think that will be happening on the hill this week. The conversation that he had is of that. Its not these like they are not tethered to reality. They are a complete mess. And not true. The president is trying to direct the conversation that direction. I think it is alarming. You spent a lot of time recently Holding Twitter accountable in trying to get to the bottom of how they are Holding People who are posting on that platform accountable. We spent the last week covering Memorial Services for senator john mccain, powerful and emotional images have been shared for a lot of those events. There was a violent photo shop image of megan mccain with a gun pointing to her head circulating on twitter. It drew heavy criticism because it took so long for twitter to remove it. What is your take here . I think twitter has a problem that they arent good at policing. Whether it be alex jones who was clearly violating the Terms Of Service and said it wasnt until reporting by cnn that they were in these cases there are people who violate the Terms Of Service and use it to report that this is a violation. This is threatening and harassment. Twitter will come back and say that did not violate our Terms Of Service. In this case megan mccains husband was able to tweet it out. I think twitter took action after that. For the people who dont have that audience there is a problem. Its unclear why. They report it to twitter and twitter says they dont. It is unclear what is going on there. I think we need more answers. Thank you so much. Good to have you. An undocumented immigrant allegedly killed his daughter but the father of mollie
