And the video that turned the words i cant breathe into a National Rallying cry, the nypd fired the officer involved in garners death. Officer Daniel Pantaleo held garner in a prohibited choke hold for selling loose cigarettes in 2014. This follows the recommendation from the Police Administrative judge who found him guilty of reckless assault but the ultimate decision made by the Police Commissioner who said hes personally debated it since he took over the reins of the nypd. Every time i watch that video, i say to myself as probably all of you do, to mr. Garner, dont do it. Comply. Officer pantaleo, dont do it. But an officers choices and actions even made under extreme pressure matter. The unintended consequence of mr. Garners death must have a consequence of its own.

But in trumps mind, hes the one being disrespected and hes doubling down on barack obama suggesting that russia got bumped from the g7 because the former president was outsmarted ignoring the fact that it was russias aggression in ukraine. But he would like the g7 to be the g8 again and welcome back russia. President putin outsmarted president obama on crimea and other things including the
denied the right to change that. you also have some new reporting i want to ask you about. it s about refugees approved for resettlement in the u.s. what did you find out? yeah. this is fascinating. this is a draft of an executive order. this is, as i m it, the next thing that the administration has up their sleeves. this would allow state and local authorities to say no. refugees cannot resettle in my community or in my state. they say that in the past they have worked with state and local authorities, but now they are giving them the ultimate decision to say no. some of the experts i ve talked to and people whoever advocates for refugees say this could be a huge problem where refugees are trying to settle in communities where people from their country already exist, and they want to be able to assimilate back into their culture when they come to the united states and also that it could just completely limit the number of refugees the u.s. is able to bring into the country every y

power by turning the right against immigrants. now according to a deep dive by the new york times, he occupies a large west wing office and has influence on virtually every element of immigration policy from the words the president uses to the regulations he promulgates at every step he has pushed for the hardest line. joining me is the reporter on that jason and nbc news correspondent covering the doj and dhs julia ainsley. so, jason, you explain how stephen miller rose to power as the republican party shifted further to the right. that quote with the timing of a screen play, the man and the moment converged. can you tell me exactly how that happened? stephen miller graduated from college in the spring of 2007. if you re going to pick a moment when the republican party pivoted from being a party that was at least partially welcoming to imgrants to one that was mostly hostile to them would be
