The white house says President Trump is threatening to remove the security clearances of six former federal officials who have spoken out against his refusal to take on Vladimir Putin about russian meddling. I think hes trolling people. Shepard analysts say this is a white house attempt to distract from Unanswered Questions about what happened in the closeddoor meeting with putin in helsinki. Unless the president acts, theres no more news here. Foxs top story this hour. The migrant crisis on the southern border. Hundreds of immigrant parents separated from their children at the border are not in this country anymore. Breaking today, the feds revealing in Court Documents they may have deported more than 450 men and women without their children. 463, to be exact, out of the country without their kids. Government lawyers say the cases are under review. At issue, did the parents have the legal representation to know how to get their kids back . Attorneys for the American Civil Liberties union say no. They point out the parents are desperate need of legal help. They say many of them signed deportation forms but didnt understand that they would be stranding their own children. This is a crisis of the administrations own making. The families were separated due to a policy that it enacted not due to any law already on the books. The Trump Administration has until thursday to meet a federal judges deadline to reunite all the children and parents that they separated. Casey stegall has more. Yeah, shepard, the numbers could be higher of people no longer in the United States with children who are still in u. S. Custody. Were talking closer to 600 when you actually look at the paperwork and the stats how it is all divided out. We want to show that to you. Out of the 463 no longer in the United States, which the federal government notes is under review, it also shows, shepard, 130 parents waived reunification. Meaning signed paperwork acknowledging they were being deported and leaving their child. The Court Filing Shows 64 are in ineligible because of things like a criminal record and then another 260 cases require what is described as further evaluation. Frankly what that evaluation is exactly and how were people removed from this country before their children all questions that lawyers from the government will have to answer very soon. Shepard, a federal Court Hearing scheduled to get underway in the next few hours addressing this issue in california. Shepard new Development Today about immediate deportations. Yeah, this could all be up in the air. The federal judge out in california just a few days ago actually praised the u. S. Government saying that it appeared they were going to be on track to meet thursdays deadline and now with this new information coming out in this filing, it could be up in the air. An additional filing coming in at this late hour, shepard. The Trump Administration now moving for immediate deportation of some of these reunified families. In other words, once the reunions happen, go ahead and deport the family unit and the administration and the court paperwork is citing space issues for the reasoning behind that. However, the government says that they are on track in terms of reuniting the majority of kids, they say, 870 some odd reunions have been carried out. Another 530 are going to be happening any time. Then another 200 have already been released into the United States by ice as they await their future court dates. Again, as you know, shepard, a very fluid story and a lot of judicial action, injunctions being filed at the last minute by both sides trying to get in sort odd it. Shepard a reminder, the government tells us many of those here are requesting asylum. That is not illegal. Requesting asylum is part of the american way. The tariffs are the greatest. Thats a statement from the president today. Some lawmakers in his own party are blasting what they call a bailout for some americans hurt by the same tariffs. An administration announced a short term plan to give farmers billions of dollars in aid after they took a big hit from retaliatory tariffs. Ben sasse has released a statement that reads in part this trade war is cutting the legs out from farmers and the white houses plan is to spend 12 billion on gold crutches. This administrations tariffs and bailouts wont make America Great again. Theyre going to make it 1929 again. The House Speaker paul ryan says hes made it clear he does not believe tariffs are the right answer. The president is standing by his import taxes. You have to see the trade deals im working on. Theyre a disaster. The farmers will be the biggest beneficiary. Watch. Were opening up markets. You watch whats going to happen. Patient. Shepard so far theyre not beneficiaries. The United States trade Representative Office holding a hearing today with representatives from companies that could also take a hit from the tariffs. Lets bring in ken thomas, White House Reporter from the Associated Press. What is the goal here . The president is trying to buy some time essentially. Hes trying to help farmers, especially soy bean producers that have been hit hard by the tariffs by china in response to the trump tariffs and hes trying to help them get through the next few months to try to give him more time to negotiate deals with china and the European Union and with canada. So this is something aimed at providing direct payments to farmers, buying up excess crops, trying to create trade markets. As you say, a lot of republicans will say this is nothing but a government bailout. Shepard and when he says the tariffs are the greatest, what is the white house saying to explain what he means by that . The president , and i believe the white house, have felt like tariffs are a very good negotiating tool. Hes felt that since hes slapped these tariffs on some of the u. S. Trading partners, that has actually gotten these countries to the negotiating table. Tomorrow were going to have a European Commission members coming to the white house talking about not only their dispute over steel and aluminum tariffs, which the president broug broug brought forth but also imports from europe. That could cover bmws and mercedes and volkswagens that are built over there and brought into the country that is something that could really affect this country. Theres a lot of people that would feel it in the pocket books when they look to buy a new car. Shepard free trade is a conservative principle. What are conservatives saying in response . Theyre not happy. They feel like tariffs are essentially taxes on American Consumers. They would like to see the president back away from this aggressive use of tariffs. That said, they do want to see better trade terms. So the president would argue, look, i need more time. Im getting these countries to come to the table and negotiate and soon theyll cry uncle. The question is at what cost. In six months from now, are we going to see American Consumers cutting back their spending, could this affect the economy . We just dont know. This is an openended process and we have the multiple fronts in europe, mexico and canada and with china. Its hard to predict where this tariff fight, this trade fight is going to go. Shepard some of our viewers may go to the market and recognize that some of the crops or products from some of the crops grown in, lets say, trump states, have gone down in price. Which may seem great. But theres a farmer out there or manufacturer out there or somebody out there that is getting a lot less money for his or her products. Theyre the ones that are voting in those allimportant states, like iowa. Absolutely. The chinese have been very strategic in how they have constructed these retaliatory tariffs. They put it on soy beans and pork. Thats aimed at hurting the trump base. A lot of these products are produced in the midwest state that went with the president in 2016 and hoping to exact as much pain as possible so that maybe that will affect the president s mindset. Well have to see how it goes. Shepard ken thomas, thank you. Thanks, shep. Shepard two nights ago, President Trump tweeted in all caps a threat to the leader of iran.

Israel reports they shot down a syrian fighter jet. Syrian government forced backed by russia and iran have been advancing near the border with israel as they drive out the rebels. The Israeli Military claims that a syrian jet flew about a mile in israeli airspace. Syrian state media insists the pilot was over syria the whole time. Russia and iran are supporter Bashar Alassad who used chemical weapons on his own people while American Forces have been assists the rebels. Now a back and forth between iran and President Trump. It started with the iran leaders warning that war with iran would be the mother of all wars. A common refrain. President trump fired back in all caps on twitter, never ever threaten the United States again. The Iranian Foreign minister said color us unimpressed. Iranians have heard more bluster for more than 40 years. Weve been around for millennia and seen fall of empires, including our own, which lasted more than the life of some countries. Be cautious. Now the Iranian Regime is threatening Counter Measures in the United States tries to block their oil exports. Lets go to Michael Ohanlon from the brookings institute. Hi, michael. Nice to be with you, shepard. Shepard aside from the rhetoric is there anything here . I dont know. You mentioned the word Counter Measures. Thats a benign word. I hope what were seeing is a deescalation of the rhetoric. The real deal is the economic sanctions and the Trump Administration. That will kick in two weeks. Thats where were hoping to put the pressure on iran primarily, this is probably not going to be a military confrontation. Hard to see that is in either sides interest. I welcome the des escalation of the last one or two exchanges but i get nervous when you hear the bluster and the brinkmanship. I dont expect to it result in anything. Its unsettling. Shepard were alone outside the iran agreement now. Can sanctions from the United States not supported by others in the agreement, can they have an effect . Yes, they can. Were trying to force countries to choose between doing business with us and doing business with iran. So the extent of these sanctions on the u. S. Side has a far broader scope than you would anticipate by looking at the trade statistics themselves. So for example, the International Banking system or companies in europe, were trying to say to them, listen, you know, if you do business with iran, youll be shut out of the american market. Thats the sort of leverage. I dont know how this plays out over months and years but im confident the pain will be considerable and the Economic Projections for the iranian gdp growth are turning negative. It will hit them hard in the short term. Shepard i read their money is dropping in value against other currencies. Secretary pompeo and President Trump are applying a lot of pressure. This is one of those debates of a republican and democratic divide whether we should have accepted that iran deal under president obama in the first place or should have withdrawn. Theres good arguments on both sides. So on this particular question, even if i might have been on the other side, i understand where President Trump is coming from and i think that there is a chance that reimposing this pressure could lead to a better deal. Iran kept upping the ante on its miss behavior in places like syria. Defenders of the nuclear deal would say that was never part of the agreement. We didnt try to get there with the agreement. But the agreement gave iran back 100 billion to make more miss chief. Its hard to do business with a country looking to stoke wars. So you know, im rooting for the trump policy even if it wasnt my choice. It may well apply real pressure on iran and leave us in an interesting place down the road. Lets home. Thank you.

Our corporate cousins at the New York Post broke the story. A spokesperson for the company said restrictions to avoid conflicts of interest while the first daughter has worked at the white house has limited the brands growth. She separated herself from the company after her father became president and she took on a role as one of her fathers Senior Advisers. Kristina partsinevelos is live at the white house with more. Hi, kristina. Youre right. Politics one. Shes going to focus on being a Senior Adviser to her father, President Trump. Her brand, which well show you images in just a second, but the ivanka trump line is clothing, dresses, shoes, perfume. Its under that brand. The Company Issued a state on behalf of ivanka trump. She said after 17 months in washington, i dont know when or if i will return to this business but i know my focus for the future will be the work im doing here in washington. So making this decision now is the only fair outcome for my team and partners. The Company Launched in 2014 but sales soared in 2016 according to forbes, up 61 . Why . Because ivanka trump was wearing her line of clothing and accessories throughout the campaign trail. She continued to wear them in huge speeches and tv interviews and thats when the protests and complaints came in that she was profiting from her role within the white house. Thats when she stepped away but still maintained control over financials. You had Certain Companies like Hudsons Bay Company and in order nordstrom that pulled their sales. And theres some other criticisms, too. Not only violating laws by working in the white house but her relationship with china. I emailed every single fox business person and a few of your own colleagues to try to find a picture of the label. Were going to show it on the screen. This is a label of the ivanka trump brand. It says made in china. Theres been concerns and criticisms that the brand, the company got preferential treatment in china, this past may they received seven trade marks from china. The company though had said they will honor their contracts. So you should see the brand in stores like lord taylor and bloomingdales and the winding down has nothing to do with poor sales. Shep . Shepard kristina partsinevelos, thank you. Theres word that north korea is starting to dismantle a missile test site. President trump has said that talks with pyongyang are on the right track. But pyongyang called that not a missile testing site. And theres other reports that some countries are helping north korea cheat sanctions. Why are your gas prices going down so much . We go to the bottom of the hour and the top of the news. I
