CNNW CNN Newsroom With Miguel Marquez July 12, 2014

It will shock owe what weve found. Sad news, the number of parents leaving children in the car is all too common. Governments are taking action, changing laws to try to make these deaths stop. Has it been this bad all along, or are we just paying more attention now . All that coming up in the cnn newsroom. But first before that, developments on a couple of fronts. One of our nations southern border, another half world away. A lot of people in the u. S. Illegally are about to be sent back to their home countries. Weve got details on the deportations about to begin. How many people, where theyre from, and what is washington doing to try and fix an immigration system that most agree is busted. Also today we are live from gaza where the United Nations is telling both israel and palestinians to stop the shooting and ratchet down the tension. More People Killed this weekend, more people pushed out of their homes. The federal governments head of National Security has a stern message for the tens of thousands of undocumented immigrants streaming across the u. S. mexico border. You cant stay here. Federal Officials Say they will begin deportations this week. This comes as the Obama Administration is wrestling with a surge in schirn crossing into the u. S. Without their parents. As you can see their numbers are rising fast. Whats driving tleez people north is crippling poverty and outofcontrol violence in places like guatemala and el salvador, desperate for some kind of future, they embark on long and dangerous journeys of thousands of miles or more to reach the u. S. Only to find out it was for nothing. I think its fair to say that a good number of them were surprised that they were being detained. I think they expected to be apprehended and simply let go into the interior and theyre surprised that theyre being detained and sent back so quickly. Now, republicans and some democrats have said no way to the president s request for nearly 4 billion to deal with this crisis. Does the administration have a plan b . Reporter well, miguel, i wouldnt characterize this proposal as completely dead yet. What were hearing from some lead republicans on this issue is they want to see more conditions on that money before they can sign off on any of it. Were also seeing a lot more movement on capitol hill in a couple of different ways. Just yesterday we heard from arizona senator john mccain. Of course arizona is a border state. Hes partnering with his colleague in the senate in arizona, jeff flake, and theyve introduced legislation that would put more conditions on money that they could approve. And part of those are immediate deportations. Well, were also seeing another piece of legislation being introduced next week by texas senator john cornyn, a republican. Of course texas a border state as well. Hes partnering with a democratic congressman who, as you mentioned, has been critical of the Obama Administration. But moves on several several front, miguel. So i wouldnt call that over just yet. The challenge will be getting the House Republican leadership to bring a bill to the floor. But we are going to be seeing a number of efforts come up in the next couple of weeks. Well, those House Republicans are always so easy to convince about getting things to the floor. But immigration is always a very tough question. Democrats, cuellar included, have issues with the money. What are they saying about the emergency funds . Well, what were seeing from some of these democratic members of congress who represent border districts is is they are saying that the Obama Administration is not doing enough. Some are saying that theyre not doing enough in terms of border patrol. Others are saying theyre not doing enough on the humanitarian side. I would also point out that what this border crisis is doing is bringing renewed calls for comprehensive Immigration Reform. Were seeing john mccain partner with Lindsey Graham and also chuck schumer, a democrat, and they are going to be moving forward on comprehensive Immigration Reform in the next couple months. Of course we have the long august recess and the midterm elections, but there is some movement. This is not just gridlock. We may see some more developments on this yet, miguel. Its strange bedfellows, gridlock. Thank you very much. Erin mcpike at the white house. 135 people are now reported killed in gaza after several days of bombardment from israel. That is one of about 500 buildings in gaza destroyed by the israeli military. Israel calls them hamas targets. The palestinians say their Water Systems and power supply have been hit and hospitals are overwhelmed by the nearly 1,000 people injured. Our Senior International correspondent ben wedeman is in gaza. Night has fallen. What sort of activity are you seeing at the moment . Reporter just about seven minutes ago, miguel, we saw several missiles being fired not far from here in the direction of israel. Whats interesting is about 8 00 local time, two hours ago, hamas put out a twitter informing journalists that they should set up their cameras and be ready for a volley of rockets fired into israel. We did set up our cameras, but we didnt see anything, although there were rorpts of rockets being fired from the north of here and to the south in the direction of israel. Theyve unveiled, apparently, in that barrage that took place an hour ago what they call the m80. I mean the j80. Excuse me. That is an 80kilometerrange missile, the first one they use, although we hear from israel that three of those were intercepted by the iron dome system and the others fell into open areas without any injuries or damage. Now, here in gaza, though, we are seeing a lot of damage. We went this afternoon to a home for the handicapped that took a direct hit at 5 00 in the morning, killed two of the residents 37 four others are in hospital with severe burns. We saw two of them who have Cerebral Palsy in addition to that. This is increasingly a problem that you have all these civilian casualties, many like those in this home for the handicapped couldnt harm a soul, let alone fire a rocket into israel. This high level of civilian casualties, now 135, is bee ginning to really cause an uproar of anger here in gaza toward israel. Miguel . Well, there seems to be anger to go around there on almost eve an good day. Doesnt seem to be going away. With hamas showing its hand and usesing those longerrange missiles, does that seem to indicate a greater likelihood of a Ground Invasion by israel . What do they expect there . Do they expect a Ground Invasion . Ly it looks like the ground is being prepared for one. Leaflets are being dropped in gaza telling people to leave the area. This is what we saw in the past, a prelude to a Ground Invasion. And certainly that could be the case. Weve seen more than 30,000 israeli reservists called up for a possible Ground Invasion. As long as the rockets go out and israel responds, you have all the ingredients for exactly that, and ive seen it before here in gaza. Ground incursions can be very bloody. Miguel . Ben, youve been there so many times. Niang there. Hope you and your crew are safe and that it doesnt get any worse. Well talk to you later. Thanks. Coming up, well talk about several cases that raise the question of human nature. Parents leaving children in hot cars while they shop, gamble, or even get drunk in a bar.

Com as summer temperatures reach their peaks across the u. S. , youre reminded how hot it gets inside cars. For 22monthold Cooper Harris, that summer heat was deadly, with the nation still frans fixed by his case, new details about the boys parents and how prosecutors are building their case. Investigators want to know how high the temperature climbed in the back seat where the toddler died so they recreated that heat in Justin Ross Harris suv. They drove it to the same spot where it sat in the sun for seven hours on june 18th. That data has not been released but experts believe temperatures could have been as high as 140 degrees. A home depot spokesperson says harris has also been fired. He worked as a web designer for the company. Investigators have also unearthed uncomfortable details in harris aegon line activities. They say he performed internet searches on child ket deaths in hot cars. Want to bring in a panel of experts for this hour. Host jane velezmitchell, judy ho, and criminal defense attorney and former prosecutor phillip holloway. Phillip, we visited these websites and material. Disturbing to say the least. What do we know about harris connections t s to these sites . What we know is what was released at the preliminary hearing a couple weeks ago at a courtroom in cob county. What police have told us is they have uncovered evidence he at least visited those sites. What we dont know yet and whether or not his visiting those sites can be directly connected to the death of his child. If so, many observers have felt what that point to is the prosecutors are pointing a picture of premeditation, deliberation, and might be preparing to present an indictment in the grand jury charging him with malice and murder. Interesting. Jane, you know, what could harris learn from visiting these particular sites. Well, listen, it paints a portrait, miguel. Its not just one site. Its not just the fact that he researched how long it takes a child to die in a hot car and childfree lifestyle. He went to site where is they inundate the viewer with video of people dying execution, suicides, war. Why was he obsessed with this . Why five days before his own son dies in a hot car does he watch a video of a vet who goes into a hot car to warn people dont leave your animals in a hot car . The whole thing paints a portrait. Then you talk about his alternate lifestyle personas on scout and kick where one name is r. J. , the other name ises are coe. Hes lying about his age, about where he lives. Ironically, he doesnt lie about the fact that hes married. He states flat out hes married. Some of these photos he looks totally different, when he is the father and husband, he looks one way. Take a look at him there. Hes trying to look like james bond there. This is taken in a urinal. Judy, look, one does not want to believe that this is possible, that humans could do this to another human, let alone your own child, but what does the evidence so far tell you . Well, miguel, i think it paints a portrait of somebody whos really not happy with their life, maybe overwhelmed with the duties of being a father and sees no other way out. Now, we know that the father and his wife actually had a very good reputation around the neighborhood, very, very religious, but that also puts a stopgap in terms of where they can really go in terms of admitting theyre having problems in their marriage and not being able to carry through with this child. I think a lot of people in the aftermath have asked why dont they just put this child up for adoption or if theyre not happy, arent there other ways. I dont think they felt there were other ways, at least justin didnt. Because he feels he needs to uphold his good reputation. If off broken marriage because of fact that your child died and you couldnt withstand that pressure, thats a better story than we just didnt want this child, we changed our minds, we dont even want to be married. Its really hard. What we know from research is father who is kill their children are often overwhelmed about their lives and dont want to have the children anymore and it tenlds to be intentional. Its hard to believe. Phill phillip, you think theyre lining it up for harder and more substantial charges to come down the road. I take that it means a more substantial penalty. Well, what theyve said was right now theyre proceeding on the theory that it was at a minimum criminally negligent for him to have left his child in that car under those circumstances. Nevertheless, the detective said at the preliminary hearing that its looking at least to him like this might be intentional. If so, that points to premeditation and deliberation. Thoo thats why we saw them i think out there looking into the precise conditions under which this child died in the heat of that car because under georgia law, if a murder is committed under such circumstances that its sufficiently wanton, vile, torturous, things of that nature, it can elevate it to potentially a Death Penalty case. That is why theyre so very, very interested in exactly how the child died and under what circumstances. Jane, you pored over this case, every detail of it. It is circumstantial at the moment, largely circumstantial, although damning in circumstantial and its only really the prosecutions side. But can we say there was a case for death sneer. Oh, absolutely. If indeed he planned this and let his child die a torturous death in a hot car, theres no better argument for the Death Penalty. Thats what youre seeing so far. Lets take a look at some of the basic facts. When he left the chickfila after having breakfast with his child, he had to make a decision in 30 to 40 seconds which direction to go to go to the daycare or to his office. So are we to believe that in 30 to 40 seconds he forgets the child he had just strapped into his car . By the way, he strapped him in too tight and he strapped him into a car seat that was too small for him even though they had another car seat. Then a very quick drive to the office. Get this at 1 30 in the afternoon theres a mass email from the daycare. That doesnt wake him up to the fact, oh, i left my child in the car . Gets into the car at the end of the day, doesnt smell the stench of decomposition, the overwhelming smell of death . It doesnt seem possible. Jane, judy, phillip, thanks for joining us. Justin ross harris has been criticized for lack of emotion in the courtroom and john walsh says that should tell everyone something is up. Youre talking to the father of a child. I know how my acted when my child died. I element went crazy. I lost 30 pounds. Im not a big guy. I could not deal with the grief.

As more disturbing details about the father of the georgia toddler who died in a hot car, paypal will give refunds to everyone no who donated to a fundraiser for the family. The site that hosts the campaign has taken it down, much the focus in the wake of of the death of little Cooper Harris revols around his mother. Shes not been named as a suspect but did hire a defense attorney this week. Even though many people say theres something suspicious about her, one cnn commentator says she should not be scrutinized by police but not indicted by the public before the facts come out. Want to bring the panel back. Judy, weve seen her behavior in court and in public. Are we being too critical . Well, i think obviously the attention is on her for a good reason. People are wondering whether or not she was involved and possibly if she was also premeditating along with her husband. And of course were all playing armchair quarterback here, but what we do know about the process of grief is while its different far lot of individuals it really takes a long time to get to the state of acceptance. And what i think is really, really strange about her behavior is that at the funeral she had already reached acceptance with her baby. In fact, she was saying she would never want the baby back even if there was a chance to do so because she doesnt want her baby to live through the tough adolescent years being in this broken world and that shes not at all angry with the father and if they have children again she has complete trust in him. That is bizarre behavior for someone to say that. And to concentrate on themselves so much at the funeral where theyre supposed to be honoring their baby. Doesnt seem right. Jane, there are other takes on this. Im going to read a quote from cnn commentator and legal analyst mel robbins. Her baby is dead, her husband in jail for murder, her suz was sexting with several women, her marital and financial troubles have been exposed for the world to see. The world media is pork t at her door and filming her every move. How is she supposed to act . Lord only knows shes a hot mess of rage, fear, grief, shock, and ev
