we re also waiting to hear word of what that s going to look like. could come as early as today. more likely tomorrow. we re hearing, any more details on that? we re told some time this week and we re told that the white house is really trying to engage senior republican leadership on capitol hill this time. whereas, last time, some of those on the right felt left out or cut out of the process. we re also hearing that the president s political adviser stephen miller has had less to do with the second executive order this time around. and that trump s lawyers and the white house counsel office are taking the lead role on drafting, ana. thank you, laura. we ll see what comes of the new executive order. but joining us now to discuss the latest action. we ve got cnn politics digital editing manager zach wolf. zach, i want to role through some of the memos that we re seeing from dhs and the guidance
late? the president s denuouncunciati anti-semitism. welcome back to early start. i m boris sanchez. i m ana cabrera. there s growing concern with president trump s plans to enforce immigration. guide lance just released from the department of homeland security could pave the way for a huge expansion of undocumented immigrants detained and deported. this is going to come up as john kelly and secretary of state rex tillerson visit mexico tomorrow. they ll be meeting with president nieto pena there. cnn s laura jarrett has more on the broader impact of what s in the dhs memos. laura. good morning, ana. one of the biggest takeaways
that their communities could be torn apart understand the administration newly outlined plans to enforce immigration laws more aggressively. guidance just released by the department of homeland security could pave the way for a huge expansion of undocumented immigrants detained and deported. there s no doubt much of this will come up as dhs secretary john kelly and secretary of state rex tillerson visit mexico city today and tomorrow for meetings with pena and his cabinet on trade. we re joined by laura barrett by more detail. good morning, boris. the biggest take-away from the memos from department of homeland security make clear that the immigration officers are going to have more wider discretion to decide who will run that. practically speaking if agents go on a raid to find a criminal undocumented immigrant, anyone else who happens to be with that
person at the same time and who is also in the u.s. unlawfully may now also be deported. that s what s really new here, boris. now, laura, the dhs and supporters of this guidance repeatedly said that this is just enforcement of existing law. that there s really nothing new here. but is that actually the case? i think the better way to think about this is really a difference in priorities so, president obama focused on those who had been convicted of serious crimes. whereas, president trump is castinging a much wider net to include anyone even accused of a crime, boris. so, we re still waiting for this new travel ban to remrals the earlier executive order shut down in court. we re told that it may come out earlier today or more likely tomorrow. do you have any more details on that? well, we re waiting to see the details for sure. but two things we re hearing, one that congressional
not only was that executive order badly implemented, but is it constitutional. reporter: that s exactly right. we haven t even gotten to the larger question of the constitutionality of this order. every court so far has been dealing just in the very administrative early stages trying to figure out do we need to use a temporary restraining order while we figure that out. so the temporary restraining order just gives some immediate relief to press pause on what s going to happen in terms of the implementation of this executive order. but the constitutionality of the order hasn t been reached yet. courts so far have just said the plaintiffs show a likelihood of success on the merits. but that s just an initial finding. it doesn t reach the ultimate question of whether this entire order is constitutional. thanks so much. laura barrett in washington
