Welcome to cbs this morning. Charlie rose is off and feeling fantastic. Are you feeling fantastic . Me, too. Good to see you. Welcome, anthony. The white house is spelling out its plan to fight illegal immigration. New guidelines affeeffective immediately put undocumented immigrants at greater risk of deportation. Secretary john kelly will discuss border issues in mexico city. Jeff pegues in washington with new policies causing fear and controversy. Jeff, good morning. Good morning. The white house says these new guidelines dont create new laws, they just allow enforcement of the ones already on the books. This tougher approach to Immigration Enforcement is expected to cost billions of dollars to implement and expands the number of people who could face deportation, whether they have committed a serious crime or not. Secretary john kelly and the department of Homeland Security provided the road map tuesday for executing the Trump Administrations orders on immigration. Two dhs memos show how the government will authorize deportation of anyone in violation of u. S. Immigration laws, expedite removal of any undocumented immigrant in the country for less than two years with no court hearing. Immediately return many people captured at the Mexican Border to mexico, and hire 15,000 new Border Patrol and immigration officers. But Homeland Security officials stressed the directives are not intended to be mass deportation. The president wanted to take shackles off individuals in these agencies and say you have a mission. The Trump Administration will also move to end the practice known as catch and release, which allowed certain immigrants to be free while their proceedings were pending. Under the new directive, local police are also empowered to take in anyone they think could be a risk to Public Safety or National Security. White House Press Secretary sean spicer says the dhs directive is based on existing immigration laws. Everybody who is here illegally is subject to removal at any time. The memos leave in place an Obama Era Program known as daca, which granted work permits to people known as dreamers, who were brought to the country illegally as children. Still democrats in Congress Call the guidelines a cruel blue print for mass deportations that will tear families apart and make america less safe. Jeff pegues. Thanks, jeff. Rex tillersons visit to mexico is his second foreign trip since starting at secretary of state. Hes kept a low public profile in the u. S. Some current and former state Department Officials are raising concerns about staffing cuts and being kept from key meetings. Margaret brennan is at the state department with a closer look at tillersons approach. Margaret, good morning. Good morning. Secretary of state Rex Tillerson has been largely silent during his almost three weeks on the job. He hasnt held a News Conference and many meetings and calls are not being publicly disclosed. There also havent been any daily briefings, which for decades have been the main channel for the department to get its message out. That leaves foreign governments often describing american policy rather than the u. S. Itself. But perhaps more serious for diplomats, state Department Officials were completely shut out of President Trumps key meeting with israeli Prime Minister last week while mr. Trumps soninlaw Jared Kushner who has no experience with Foreign Affairs did sit in. State Department Officials insist tillerson is not being shut out. Hell meet today with the president and they often speak by phone. Officials here tell me tillerson is being careful and deliberate. Hes trying to catch policy up with the rhetoric of the president all while working and trying to fly under the radar of an administration facing no shortage of diplomatic crisis. Certainly worth watching, margaret, thank you so much. Commander of u. S. Forces in the middle east will ask President Trump if he wants more american troops in syria. Overnight general joseph votel told on a trip to the region the u. S. May have to take on a larger burden against isis. The president ordered the pentagon to have a new plan for the city of raqqa.

It is true that liberal groups are using the web to know exactly where and when these town halls are taking place, like the one at louisiana senator bill cafferty is going to be holding at this Public Library later today. But people saying they are just concerned constituents who are looking to put the brakes on President Trumps agenda. A raucous tacalifornia town hall. American people made it very clear. They want obama care repealed. To a courthouse gathering in iowa. Every single one of us walks around with a preexisting condition. To blackstone, virginia. Gop lawmakers got an earful tuesday. Im having fun. Reporter a lot of the angst center arnold immigration. Legal limbo. Im from a Muslim Country and im a muslim, who is going to save me here. Iowa senator Chuck Grassley embraced his outspoken constituents. I learned that weve got issues that people feel very strongly about, and we have to try to deal with them. As did senator leader mitch mcconnell, who faced protesters before giving a speech in his home state of kentucky. I respect their right to be there and to express themselves, because thats what we do in this country. Reporter it will be interesting to see what kind of reception he gets today, one of the few republicans who has actually put forth a plan to replace obama care but it hasnt gotten a lot of pickup from his republican colleagues yet because theres still so much disagreement in the party about how expansive a replacement plan should be. Nancy, thanks. President trump denounced antisemitism in his first comment on a series of threats against Jewish Community centers.

This week 11 Jewish Community centers received telephoned bomb threat according to Jcc Association of north america and vandals damaged hundreds of headstones at a Jewish Cemetery in st. Louis. A very sad reminder of the work that still must be done to root out hate and prejudice and evil. Reporter until tuesday the president remained largely silent on the issue. At last weeks press conference the president cut off an Orthodox Jewish reporter who asked him what he planned to be about the bomb threat. Okay, sit down. Independent the rest of your question. I am the least antisemitic person that youve ever seen in your entire life. Reporter and at a press conference with israeli Prime Minister benjamin netanyahu, the president said this. As far as people jewish people, so many friends, a daughter who happens to be here right now. Youre going to see a lot of love. Youre going to see a lot of love.

More than 30 homes flooded and more than 2xpeople taken to dry land. Any time were showing up in boats to get people out of their homes, clearly were going to have a lot of time over the next week or two to look at where there are lessons to be learned. Reporter the floodwater submerged cars, stranded horses, even a skunk. People here are keeping a close eye on news reports. The water level may rise a little bit more and then hopefully start to go down but who knows. Reporter the flooding was partially the result of overflow from anderson dam up stream, which also shut down northbound lanes of busy 101 freeway in Santa Clara County.
