Here. This is the cbs evening news with scott pelley. Mason good evening. Scott is off tonight. Im anthony mason. Under growing pressure to use his bully pulpit to condemn antisemitism, President Trump did just that today after touring the National Museum of African American history and culture in washington, the president said, we have to fight bigotry, intolerance, and hatred in all of its very ugly forms. Some of the ugliest in recent days were the desecration of a Jewish Cemetery, and threats against Jewish Community centers. Margaret brennan is at the white house. Antisemitic threats targeting our Jewish Community and Community Centers are horrible and are painful. Reporter for the first time, President Trump addressed antisemitic incidents that have happened on his watch. President trumps comments came after more than 170 graves were toppled at a Jewish Cemetery in missouri, and more than 50 Jewish Community Centers Nationwide received bomb threats. But today, the anne frank center, which fights discrimination, dismissed the president s statement as a bandaid on the cancer of antisemitism that has infected his own administration. White house Spokesman Sean Spicer i think that hopefully as time continues to go by, they recognize his commitment to civil rights, to voting rights, to equality for all americans. Reporter in january, jewish groups criticized the Trump Administration for not specifically mentioning juice over antisemitism in a statement on holocaust remembrance day, and they have raised concerns about xenophobic statements on breitbart, a publication once run by white house adviser steve bannon. Last week, an israeli reporter asked the president to respond. I wonder what do you say to nose those among the jewish communities in the state and in exprl around the world that feel your administration is playing with xenophobia and maybe racist tones. I just want to say we are very honored by the victory that we h306 Electoral College votes. Reporter and an Orthodox Jewish reporter raise aid similar question the next day. There are people who are committing antisemitic acts, or threatening to okay, sit down. I understand the ret of your question. I am the least antisemitic person that youve ever seen in your entire life. Reporter similarly, the number of antimuslim groups in the u. S. Has nearly tripled since 2015. I asked the white house if they similarly condemn that type of hatred. Sean spicer indirectly replied that the president is focused on fighting radical extremism. Anthony. Mason Margaret Brennan at the white house. Thanks, margaret. Today, the Homeland Security department rolled out the Trump Administrations plan for crack down on illegal immigration. Homeland security security jeff pegues has the details. Reporter the new guidelines come as u. S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement units have carried out hundreds of deportation operations across the country. Authorities will now be able to expedite deportation of any undocumented immigrant in the country for less than two years, immediately return many immigrants captured at the mexican border, and hire 15,000 new Border Patrol and immigration officers. The guidelines do leave in place an obamaera program that granted work permits to those brought to the country illegally as children. The department of Homeland Security is also tasked with building President Trumps southern border wall, estimated to cost 21 billion. But a report by d. H. S. internal watchdog questions whether the department is up to the task. Homeland security has made progress in the last three years, yet faces longstanding, persistent challenges. Reporter testifying before congress, Inspector General john roth said his review found a 2011 project to strengthen 53 miles of the arizona border was canceled but not before d. H. S. Spent about 1 billion. There were also numerous bottlenecks in the hiring process, taking over nine month to hire just one Border Patrol agent. Tom schatz is president of citizens against government waste. D. H. S. Was put together after 9 11 with good intentions, but it brought together a lot of disparate agencies that had never worked together. Reporter d. H. S. Officials acknowledge that there is anxiety across the country about these new guidelines. Anthony, seeking to allay some concerns, officials insisted today that the new guidelines do not include mass deportations. Mason jeff pegues, thanks, jeff. The property is working on a rewrite of the travel ban courts put on hold. It would temporarily ban citizens of seven predominantly muslim countries from entering the u. S. The president says its meant to keep terrorists owment of the country tburkt could also block muchneeded health care professionals. Heres tony dokoupil. Im very concerned, very concerned. Reporter each year, thousands of International Medical graduates like syrianborn emad uddin hakemi, come to the United States for training. Many never leave, making up 25 of the countrys doctors. This country is full of good people, and thats why Everyone Wants to come here. Reporter now the American Medical Community is concerned any immigration ban will have a Chilling Effect on applicants, who will simply avoid the u. S. Altogether. Dr. Jerry kruse is dean of the Southern Illinois school of medicine. So if we were to bar physicians from these seven countries, right away the American Health care system would be weaker than it was before. Yes, it would continue to get weaker fairly rapidly over the next decade. Reporter hospitals have until 9 00 p. M. Wednesday to decide which of this years med School Graduates they will accept as residents. Normally, they choose the best candidates, but this year, hospitals must also weigh whether a candidates visa will be denied, leaving crucial jobs unfilled. Well, in this county. Reporter before the ban, kruse expected International Graduates to help shorthanded regions like Morgan County in central illinois, but now. Well, the travel ban has made it more difficult just because of the atmosphere thats developed. Reporter hakemi is still happy he came and despite anxiety he has a message for colleagues back in syria. Youre recruiting them. Im trying to do my best to encourage them. Its very disheartening to tell your friend, no, its not worth it anymore. Reporter President Trumps first attempt at a travel ban did not include an exception for doctors. Anthony, we reached out to the white house to see if the revised ban would include that exception, but an aide told us they could not yet say.

This flooded neighborhood sits beside coyote creek, some 20 miles downstream from anderson reservoir, so full, that water has been cascading down its spillway, filling the creek to overflowing. The floodwaters also caused a mild myleslong traffic jam, closing lanes of u. S. Highway 101. San jose fire captain matt lowe we did anticipate this. However, theres no way to totally prepare for this. Reporter those being rescued in san jose now have another concern they are being decontaminated because this is polluted water. It could be sewage coming up from the souter pipes that are now under water. It could be gasoline and motor oil from cars that are under water.

Reporter ezra levin is with the indwibl project, one of numerous progressive groups trying to turn antitrump anger into a national movement. You dont trust me .
