Northwest. Here to protest the Environmental Policies of president donald trump. Would you do Something Like this . I like to think i would, but cranes actually terrify me, so definitely not. Reporter they pulled this off with militarylike precision. In the dark hours of the morning, they climbed up the crane ladder. Then two of the protesters chained themselves to the ladder to keep cops and others from following them up. It takes a lot of cajones to do that, definitely. Reporter would you do Something Like this . Oh, no. I wouldnt be able to make it past the fourth floor. Reporter now the climbers are here, folding up that banner. Theyve been at it now for almost three hours. Its hope that when they finish that, theyll come down. And down here the police are waiting for them, so the police can do what police do. This was such an interesting focal point today. I friends back home. Ill show you what im talking about coming up at 6 00. Back to you. Thank you, pat collins. For a third day in a row, were seeing executive action by President Trump. This time focusing on key issues of his campaign. Immigration and that border wall. The president signed an executive order redirecting existing funds from Homeland Security to go to the wall. Congressional aides say theres about 100 million. Congress is going to need to approve any additional appropriations. We will be working in partnership with our friends in mexico to improve safety and Economic Opportunity on both sides of the border. This will also help mexico by deterring illegal immigration from Central America and by disrupting Violent Cartel networks. Another executive order directs the hiring of 5,000 new Border Patrol agen number of officials with immigration and customs enforcement. Were taking a closer look now at what it will take to build that border wall. The border stretches nearly 2,000 miles. There are already structures, including fencing along about 670 miles, but that first chunk costs 2. 4 billion newer estimates put costs between 15 and 25 billion, but even that doesnt account for things like maintaining or the fact that some of the land is privately owned or that the president wants a wall and not a fence. Along with the challenges posed by topography, check this out. Theres also a treaty with mexico that says structures cannot disrupt the flow of border rivers. Now, that will include the entire border with texas here and a 24mile stretch around arizona in that pocket right there. Finally, when it comes to funding, the president has said mexico will pay or another. Mexicos president , who has insisted his country will not pay for it, will be here next week to meet with President Trump. There were strong words this afternoon from the council on American Islamic relations. In reaction to the president s latest actions on immigration. C. A. R. E. , muslim civil rights group, says the moves will do more harm than good and are likely to increase the number of hate crimes and discrimination against ordinary, lawabiding american muslims. I cant even believe that things are getting as bad as they are. I cannot believe that statesponsored persecution against the class of americans is taking place. I cannot believe it. Reverend martin says the Group Supports sanctuary cities and places of worship offered as sanctuaries. President trump also making news with a new tweet out today promising a, quote, major in what local Elections Officials found when they looked into the issue and their response to what the president said today.

The National Park service does not provide crowd estimates, however, our application process includes information from the organizers. The organizers of the march for life indicated a crowd of 50,000 on their application. The rally begins on the grounds of the washington monument, across from the white house friday at noon, with speeches and entertainment. Then they will march up constitution avenue to capitol hill and the Supreme Court. What i can tell you is weve seen an increasingly palpable enthusiasm this year. I think in large part because of some of the demonstrations that have occurred over the course of the last week. Then also just with a hopeful outlook in terms of prolife policies in the couple of years ahead. Reporter while the antiabti Service Officials dont expect any trouble like we saw inauguration day, and they dont expect the crowds to overflow to nearby streets like they dl during the womens march on saturday, they are prepared for anything. Weve got an emergency plan in place in case theres ever any kind of security concern, so were going to keep our eye on the ball and focus on the march for life as we do every year. Reporter now, organizers and police hope that everything wraps up before the evening rush hour is scheduled to end in front of the Supreme Court around 3 00. There will still be activities in the area of the Supreme Court building that afternoon. If youre planning on coming down in the morning for those speeches, the change that was Just Announced today, there will be secret Service Level protection.

She has been in the Public Health system for most of her life since she was diagnosed as having scizo aeffective disorder as a teenager. Reporter states Attorney Says he had seen the victim on several different occasions. I think he thought he could get away with it because of the mental condition he observed when he passed her.

Reporter we understand y i caught up with two local Election Officials. One here in Arlington County as well as fairfax countys general registrar. Both are adamant that there is no evidence to support claims of voter fraud. Whats more is they say they both take the president s tweet personally. These are voters in current active status.

And if there is ev certainly welcome it. If the administration wants to bring it to us.

Tired ofo driving around potholes and cracks in the roads can be frustrating. Now the state of maryland is rolling out hightech tools to find out where the road problems are before you do.

The equipment allows engineers and investigators to see things that engineers cant see. And it can spot the slightest imperfections. This truck can test a road from 19 Miles Per Hour to 55 Miles Per Hour. And to be able to look on the road and see a crack at 55 miles an hour, thats a little hard. This truck can do it.

Consumer reporter susan hogan following the story for a while now. She joins us with the potential impact on students. Thats right, wendy. The department of education recently chose not to renew the credentials of one of the largest accreditation agencies in the country, accusing that agency of predatory practices, and that a creditor is now suing the d. O. E. Accrediting council for college and schools was responsible for accrediting over 200 forprofit colleges, many which are now closed as a result of the d. O. E. s actions which took away the accrediters ability to accredit colleges. Many tell struggling to transfer their credits and have their loans forgiven. This week five state attorneys general, including d. C. And maryland, filed a motion to intervene in the lawsuit.
