Immigrant communities im sure theyd much rather have my offices in the county jail than in their neighborhoods. Reporter the acting director of i. C. E. Said by failing to cooperate, sanctuary cities do more harm than good. They put the immigrant community at greater risk by releasing threats into the very community. Reporter the doj is releasing documents on whether Law Enforcement agencies are illegally withholding information from u. S. Immigration authorities. Cities and states such as california, illinois and oregon, as well as new york city, los angeles and chicago, received subpoena threats. In response to the threat, mayors from some of those cities boycotted a meeting with President Trump at the white house. The mayors who choose to boycott this event have put the needs of criminal Illegal Immigrants over law abiding americans.

Its difficult to predict what will happen with the curve of influenza. We are seeing a high peak right now. We dont know if its going to continue to be transmitted at a high level. Reporter its especially important to take steps to prevent and treat the flu because it can create further health complications. A study published in the new england journal of medicine this week discovered that people with the flu, especially the elderly, are six times more likely to have a heart attack during the week after being diagnosed with the virus than those who arent. Explain how the flu can cause a heart attack. The flu can do selfthinvera things. It increases the demand on the heart. It also causes this inflammatory cascade and can increase clotting.

Everybody just froze and didnt know what to do. Reporter keatyn gamble says students were socializing in the commons area of the school when shots silenced the crowd.

Dr. Larry nassar sentenced to more time behind bars yesterday after being confronted by more than 150 girls and women who say he abused them. They testified during a sentencing hearing for nassar that lasted seven days. Stevens said he started molesting her when she was just 6yearold. The first victim to come forward Rachel Denhollander was 15 year old gym nest. Here is what she said in court. Larry sexually assaulted me under the guise of medical treatment for nearly a year. As the only nonmedical victim to come forward, i testified to let the world know you are a repulsive liar. This is what it looks like when institutions create a culture where a predator can flourish unafraid and unabated. Sexual abuse is so much more than a disturbing physical act. It changes the trajectory of a victims life and thats something no one has a right to do. Children are worth everything, every protection the law can offer. Little girls dont stay little forever. They grow into strong women that return to destroy your world. Rachael denhollander and Kyle Stephens are with us along with dr. Jon lapook whos covered the nassar case and joins us at the table. Welcome. So glad youre joining us. This is very important, very serious. Rachael, i want to start with you. The judge said youre the bravest person who ever entered her courtroom. She was very clear on how she felt. She said she wouldnt even allow him to treat her dogs. I want to know what made you come forward all those years ago . What did you know was wrong or what did you think was wrong . There were a few times that nassar crossed the line that i was certain was Sexual Assault, but at that age i was very convinced this was not something that could ever be done quietly. An anonymous voice wouldnt be enough. Nassar was backed by two very powerful institutions. I was aware of the dynamics of Sexual Assault, that theres never only one victim. It was something he was doing regularly. That was clear. So it was unthinkable that there were not other victims who had come forward and who had been silenced. I was right. Women had been raising the alarm for years before i walked in larrys door and had been sill edgesed. It was not until we were able to put the public pressure on both of those institutions to take the allegations seriously and have the others come forward and stop him. Kyle, you also began raising concerns about larry nassar. He was a family friend. Yeah. I didnt know there were other victims. I worried there were, but because i was perpetrated in a setting where i didnt know that there was the potential for that, when youre a patient, obviously theres tons of more female patients. Who did you report his behavior to . I reported his behavior to my parents, and my parents reported toyota a Michigan State doctor and professor. Did your parents believe you at first . No, they didnt. I didnt disclose all of the details of my abuse. Its obviously very uncomfortable. My parents thought it was strange what i was saying and they chose not to believe me. Rachel, given how uncomfortable it is to go through these details, what was it like to hear so many people testify in that courtroom . It was empowering and it was beautiful to see so many women reclaiming their voice, but it was also incredibly heartbreaking because the vast majority of us did not need to be there. Had those first reports to msu, had the complaints to the coach been taken seriously, the vast majority of victims would not have been in that courtroom. Thats one of the most troubling things. You have been strong girls and women from the beginning reporting this behavior, but its been the silence of people in power that allowed it to continue. Is usa gymnastics, how did they allow him to prey on other gymnasts . Usa gymnastic is really an organization rotting from the inside out. They created a culture of physical, psychological, and mental abuse. They also had a policy of not reporting sexual predators. At the time i was being abusd up until i came forward and some of this corruption began to be revealed, they would systematically file the reports in a file cabinet. When you have a culture thats abusive and you have a policy of not creating sexual abuse, you have created the perfect dynamic for a predator to be able to flourish. We sould say usa gymnastics did real release a statement. They say the highest priority is the safety, health, and well being of our athletes. Thats unsupported. Absolutely. Director penny testified under oath at one point and actually defended this policy of not reporting sexual abuse because he said he didnt want to, quote, perform a witch hunt. When they view reporters as witch hunters, it tells you everything you need to know about coming forward. He gets 175 years. Is that enough . More people should pay the price. We have to point out sally jenkins, amazing article in the washington post. I encourage everyone to read it. You see how this has gone on for years. Should more people or do you believe more people should pay other than larry nassar . There absolutely has to be accountability. If we dont institute accountability, if we dont learn from the mistakes that were made and make it clear that the price for making these mistakes are going to be very severe, were just going to keep repeating this cycle of abuse. Jon, whats the most egregious to you in this case . All of it. This is a good time for me to be listening, but i would say this occurred on a cultural canvas that has a huge problem. Its estimated 60,000 children are abused every year and a third of them are under the age of 12. So we need to do a lot of work, a lot of homework, and this needs much further investigation. The fact that it happened repeatedly is what i cant get over. That so many people knew about it and allowed it to continue for many years. The institutions are diseased. They need to recognize theyre diseased. Thats part of the problem. Up until this week, they have been refusing to recognize whats going on in their ranks. They need to clean house. What did you think of Larry Nassars statement saying these are fabrications and these are women scorned. Hes a master manipulator. You addressed the court, turned to the right to return, and you shot nassar a look that could have melted iron. What was going through your head . I wanted him to know that it was done. It was finished. And that you were both Still Standing. We thank you very much for coming. Thank you. Realize you have unleashed a tsunami of change. I hope so. I hope so. I believe so, too, norah.

Com experts morning to crack down on the deliver realize illegal opioids by international mail. U. S. Customs and Border Protection seized more than 180 pounds of fentanyl last year, and thats a new record. But a newly released Senate Report says thats only a fraction of what may be arriving in this country. The volume has doubled more in recent years, overwhelming the screeners. Tony dokoupil talked with senator rob portman about what authorities have to do to keep up. Tony, good morning. Good morning. Like most republicans, senator portman supports President Trumps push for a border wall, but after seeing how easily it can be to receive and send opioids, he thinks the better place is the mailbox. President trump has used the illegal drug trade as justification for the 18 billion wall, but a former senior dhs official tells cbs news, thats not where the drugs are coming from. The problem is the po box in america that gets the shipment through the Postal Service straight from china. Reporter for years ron portman and a team of investigators have tracked the deadly delivery of doortodoor opioids. It starts with a Google Search with retailers eager to make a deal. All must go until 1st of july. Is a hot sale added another. Senator portmans team never bought any drugs but they used shipping and payment data to track nearly 500 successful deliveries of open point nationwide. The deal totaled nearly a quarter of a million. In each case the country was china and the method of service was the u. S. Postal service. Theres no requirement to tip off Law Enforcement. Reporter theyre supposed to work with customs and Border Protection, but portman says they struggle with poor management and being busy. Dogs hand screen only a fraction of the packages. Im looking at fentanyl, fentanyl, fentanyl again. Correct. They want every package headed to the u. S. To include automated data including the senders name and address. 18 people tracked by portmans committee face charges and seven died of an overdose. When that 49yearold man in cleveland, ohio, dies within a couple of weeks of getting his fentanyl delivery, you realize were not doing our job. President trumps Opioid Commission has also recommended advanced screening but it has yet to come up for a vote. In a statement the u. S. Postal service says it supports the goal of increasing the electronic data but has suggest it needs more for the bill to be announcer this portion of cbs this morning sponsored by toyota.

The president of Michigan State university is stepping down over the larry nassar sexual abuse scandal. Said yesterday the case would never have gotten to this point if it werent for Rachel Denhollander. Thats what i cant get over, so many people knew about it. These institutions are diseased, refusing to recognize whats going on in their ranks. And they need to cleanous. The president s message here will be that the u. S. Is open for business and urged ceos to invest in america. Many of the 23 jurisdictions arguing that the Trump Administrations actions are unamerican. Federal Health Officials have seen a rapid increase in flu activity and the end of the outbreak is months away. Investigators havent released any motive.

President trump is in davos for meetings at the World Economic forum. The white house says his goal there is to encourage Foreign Investment in the u. S. He will give the conferences keynote address tomorrow. Before he left washington the president dweetsed he plans to, quote, tell the world how Great America is and is doing. Our economy is now booming and with all i am doing will only get better. Margaret brennan is in davos with details of the president s agenda. Good morning. Good morning. The president s first meeting here in davos was with uk Prime Minister theresa may and he told reporters that the special relationship between the two countries is still strong and he wanted to dis pell what he called the false rumor that they dont get along. Now there have been a number of awkward encounters over the past year but remember back in november it was the president who blasted may on twitter accusing her of not focusing enough on terrorism. Now later he held a very friendly meeting with israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu who praised the president for the recent recognition of jerusalem as the Political Capital of israel. Mr. Trump also promised to open a new u. S. Embassy there by next year. He then blasted palestinian leaders who were upset with that decision and threatened to withhold further u. S. Aid. The real purpose of President Trumps visit here to davos is to put a business friendly face on his America First message, and hes going to meet privately with european ceos tonight to urge them to invest in america and tout recent success at lowering the Corporate Tax rate down to 21 . Margaret brennan in davos thank you. President trump is willing to take an oath when he talks to special Counsel Robert Mueller. His interview for the russia investigation is likely to happen in two or three weeks if his lawyers are okay with that. Paula reid at the Justice Department. Good morning. What else do we know about the format of this potential interview . We know its still being worked out. Whether this will be in person, in writing, or some combination of the two. When the president speaks with investigators hes not actually under oath. He would only go under oath if hes asked to testify before the grand jury. The other big question that a lot of people have is, will this be recorded. The president made a big deal about the fact that secretary clintons interview with the fbi was not recorded. And while theres nothing preventing a camera from being in the room, its unlikely that his lawyers will want that. Its interesting in my reporting on the president and his other legal issues, when you read depositions that hes done, hes the consummate executive, not the man that you sometimes see on twitter or in the campaign trail. He answers the questions, he sticks to the script. But its possible if you introduce a camera into the situation, he might get something different. Paula, what do we know about what would happen to whatever the transcripts, audio recording or whatever happens to record this moment, will that be locked tight or will the public ever get to see it . Its unlikely his interview with investigators would be made public unless it was leaked. If he is called to testify before a grand jury it would be up to the Court Whether or not to release that testimony. Of course that famous video of president clinton that is his grand jury testimony that they worked out a deal where that would be recorded so he didnt have to come to court. Its interesting i was reading the law this morning and one of the reasons that the judge can use to release a video or transcript of grand jury testimony is if the subject of the interview talks to the press. Lots of information there, paula reid. Thank you very much. The next generation to retire may not be ready when the time comes. Jill schlesinger is here in studio 57. There she is in the green room. With simple ways for members of generation x and others to build their nest egg its called. Ahead what debts to pay off and how much to put aside. Bu in this mornings eye on money preparing for retirement without worry. About 65 million americans are part of generation x. And they will be the next generation to retire. A recent ameritrade survey find many feel uneasy about it, only 33 expect to be very secure in retirement, about half worry about running out of money. Cbs News Business analyst Jill Schlesinger is here. Good morning. Good morning. Whats the key thing to remember . Lets be incremental. I know it feels daunting to maybe run even a calculation and see how much you have to do, but really, the key here is to start, start early and a little bit at a time. And also recognize this, the longer you work, the better off all of this really does end up. Meaning that i know everyone is, i want to retire early, but if you look at retiring say instead of at 62, extend that by four years, you will have a third better lifestyle in retirement. Working longer works. With a caveat. You cant count on working because maybe your boss doesnt want you or you cant physically do it. We want you to save, but also consider with a Life Expectancy a little bit longer these days, to keep working. So im in jen x and you are telling me i have to work more. Yes. Thanks, jill. The other thing isnt everybody always worried about retirement . Absolutely. Only if youre on easy street do you think got it ready im done. Even if you are on easy street there are other things making you nutty. The reality is we are concerned about retirement and yet every survey we look at shows that, in fact, were worried about retirement, but we dont do anything about it. The reason we dont because wir scared of stepping on the scale to use the diet analogy and the reality is, for most people, again, doing a little bit, meaning auto enroll in your 401 k and try to do maybe one percent the extra every year, at the most you possibly can, doesnt have to be the max, but you can put 18,500 into your 401 k , do the best you can. You dont have to max out this minute. But you have to try to get there. When it comes to debts what should you pay off now and how much do you think you need to put aside . It varies depending on your lifestyle. The number one priority is customer debt, or auto loans, that have higher interest rate, start highest go to lowest interest rate. The Emergency Reserve Fund. That Emergency Reserve Fund should be anywhere from 6 to 12 months. I know what youre going to say, too hard to do 6 to 12 months. You tell me that. Thats what were striving for that. I wasnt going to say that this time. I heard you think it. And then try to max out and by and large, please, people want to claim Social Security early, try to wait until your full retirement age. The numbers work better. Jill, thanks. Alcatraz once the most notorious prison in america. John blackstone is on a boat with a startling development about an escape. Here in 1962 three prisoners escaped from their cell and tried to make it across the treacherous waters of San Francisco bay in a homemade raft. Did they make it . Or did they perish .

Those who havent have been killed or drowned in the bay. No one has ever escaped from alcatraz. Thats a clip from the movie escape from alcatraz, the breakout of three Prison Inmates has been the subject of wild speculation for over half a century. Now a handwritten letter questions whether they survived the frigid 55 years the mystery has lingered. Did three inmates actually escape and survive. Ever since john and Clarence Anglin along with frank morris disappeared from alcatraz in 1962, the official story is they didnt make it. They say they drowned once they got off of alcatraz and their bodied drifted out into the ocean. Reporter but now a letter claims all three lived well into old age. My name is john anglin, the letter begins. I escaped from alcatraz in june 1962. Yes, we all made it that night, but barely. Anglins cell is now a favorite stop for tourists who can see the vent he squeezed through when he and the others made their break and floated off the island in a homemade raft. Its always been talked about through the family. Reporter David Widener is a relative. No indication that it was really from your uncles. Yes. Actually john and clarences signatures was on those cards. Letter was received in to 13 but never before made public. Really havent come to a conclusion whether i believe its john reaching out or not. Reporter the u. S. Marshal service said they could not determine if it was real. The three remain on the Marshal Service most wanted list along with photos of what they might look like today. At the time of the escape, she was living on alcatraz. Her father was acting warden. I can see why the fbi would consider it inconclusive because theres no leads here that you can go furtherer with. The letter makes an author. If you announce on tv that i will be promised to go to jail for no more than a year and get medical attention, i will right back exactly where i am. It adds, i am 83 years old and in bad shape. I have cancer. For him to say he has escape. But the mist remains open. Norah . John, thank you. So much mist surrounding that. Where were they all that time . Were they together . Were they separate . I believe the letters. I do too. I believe. There is a sequel. Youre right. Alicia keys and swizz beatz, theyre getting a special grammy honor tonight.
