Flights to send migrants home. For so many of those migrants, home is haiti, a country still suffering after a major earthquake and the assassination of their president. In a moment ill speak to the secretary of Homeland Security. But first lets go to cnns Rosa Flores who is live at the scene in Del Rio, texas. We have some of that stunning Drone Footage thats just come into cnn. It breaks your heart to see whats happening down there. Reporter well, its a humanitarian crisis, jim. Lets look at that video again because that really tells the storey. This video taken by a drone pilot. You can see from the air that there is a camp thats set up right next to the international bridge where more than 12,400 migrants are still waiting to be processed by the u. S. Government. If you look closely, youll see some of these tents are made out of plastic. Others are huts made from grass and trees. Now, from talking to some sources that have been able to be down there, they say that its still very overcrowded, big concern of course is public health. Theres just a lot of people that are in a very small area. The top cop from Border Patrol talking to us earlier today saying that there is going to be about 3,000 people moved out in the next 24 hours or so. Thats their goal to be moving about 3,000 people at a time. They didnt have an exact Time Line as to when all of these individuals will be processed. They do say that in the past two days theyve moved more than 3,300, now one of the biggest questions of course is why Del Rio, why now . I asked that question to the chief. Heres what he said. Take a listen. One of the questions that everybodys asking is why Del Rio, why now . Weve seen these types of surges in the rio grande valley, for example. But why Del Rio, why now . What does your intelligence tell you . Haitians and folks from western africa, traditionally cross in the Del Rio Sector Area because they have known individuals previously who have crossed in this area. They say the community across the border is relatively safe. And so traditionally its because of wordofmouth. Reporter now, the chief also says that they do believe its wordofmouth, but if there is a criminal element involved, they will be investigating, jim. And i should add that the mayor here from Del Rio has been calling for all of these resources to arrive. He says that they finally are here. Jim . And, rosa, very quickly, it looks like by looking at this Drone Footage that some of these folks who are down there, some of these migrants, that theyve been there for some time. Theyve had the time to build some of these shacks with these thatched roofs. It looks like theyve been there for a while. Reporter you know, they have. The number of migrants started growing last week, and they grew very, very rapidly. I took an Aerial Tour with the Texas Department of dps last thursday, and i can tell you the images did not look like the images youre looking at right now. Those tents had just started going up. I could only see but a few tents. Now you see that there is a grown camp there. From talking to some of the migrants that have been under that bridge, they do say that its very hot, its extremely hot conditions. Apparently theres an economy down there, jim. Theyre buying plates of food from mexico that are brought in from the river, literally the haitians that i talk to tell me there are haitians who go to mexico, cross the River And Sell plates of food for 5. Thats how some of these people are being fed. So, theres a lot going on there. According to u. S. Border patrol chief ortiz, they are expected to be moving at least 3,000 people a day. Or thats the goal in the next 24 hours. So hopefully those numbers will diminish. But the latest numbers that we have, 12,400 migrants still under this bridge. Jim . That is wild. Okay, such a sad situation down there. Rosa flores, thank you so much for that. And joining me now is the secretary of Homeland Security Alejandro Mayorkas. Thank you so much for joining us. More than 12,000 people are now living under that bridge or in the area of that bridge. Rosa was just saying a few moments ago that it looks like many of them have arrived suddenly and erected what she described as something like an economy, a community thats going on down there where people are being fed and being sold food and so on. One Migrant Family told Rosa Flores they slept in the dirt for two days with their 4yearold son. They had to tell the that they were camping so at 4 years old he wouldnt worry. Those are the stories were hearing about. Are we witnessing, in your view, a humanitarian crisis right now at that point of the southern border . Jim, thank you very much for having me on the show. We certainly are experiencing a challenging situation. But we are surging resources, and we have a multiprong approach to this. We have, for example, worked with The American Red Ross to bring in supplies and muchneeded resources to the population. We have worked with the world Central Kitchen to bring in meals for them. Weve surged approximately 600 agents so that we can gain complete control of the individuals there. We are moving people, as has been noted, very rapidly to other Processing Centers to ensure Theres Safety and security. We moved over 3,000 people in the last day and a half. We intend to move 3,000 people today. And, of course, we are increasing the frequency in size of the repatriation flights. We have sent a very clear message early on in light of the fact that we are in the midst of a pandemic that the border is not open, and people should not take the perilous journey here. We are returning people to other countries. But, mr. Secretary, they have made the journey, theyre there. Youve called on the Department Of Defense for help in handling the situation in Del Rio. I know you want to call it a challenge and not a crisis, but it seems like when you call on the pentagon that its more of a crisis than a challenge, what are you asking for . How fast do you expect that help to come from the Department Of Defense . Well, this is all part of an allofgovernment effort. Not only are we obtaining resources from the Department Of Defense, but weve actually brought in personnel from the Department Of Health And Human Services to address the medical needs of anyone who needs that type of attention. This is the approach of a good government that not only do we rely on the resources and capabilities of the department of Homeland Security, but we look across the federal government and in partnership with Civil Society to see what resources and capabilities we can bring to bear to meet the challenge, and that is indeed what we are doing here. And youre ramping up these Deportation Flights as a deterrent. But in a letter last week, more than 50 democratic lawmakers urged the administration to please stop, noting that haiti is a country that was just ravaged by an earthquake, has food insecurity, just saw its president assassinated. As we know, many of these migrants there are from haiti. Theyve come from South America and so on but theyre originally from haiti. Does it bother you that youre going to return them to a country thats in shambles, in many cases . So, what we did is we studied the conditions in haiti, as is our responsibility to do. And we looked at issuing Temporary Protected Status for those haitian nationals who were already resident in the united states. We decided to issue Temporary Protected Status or tps, as it is commonly known, effective July 29th of this year. We waited to see what instability was created as a result of the assassination. We looked at those Country Conditions and we decided that that was the operative date, and the date that addressed the humanitarian considerations in haiti. We are very mindful of the devastation that occurred as a result of the earthquake. That devastation is rather geographically limited, as distinguished from the tragic earthquake that hit haiti on January 10th of 2010. So we watched very carefully the conditions in haiti, and we made a decision that Temporary Protected Status was appropriate and that it should be extended to people who are resident here in the united states as of July 29th. And we made it very, very clear that people arriving after that date would in fact be repatriated, that is indeed what we are doing. And how can you be assured that when they go back, that theyre not dealing with very difficult conditions, much more difficult than what theyre dealing with right now . Why not allow them to come into the country . So, let me take both those questions, jim. First of all, were working very closely with the government of haiti to ensure that the Individuals Return is accomplished as safely and humanely as possible. We are working with the Department Of State to assist in that regard, and were dedicating resources in haiti for the humane receipt of individuals, the humane return of individuals. We are in the midst of a pandemic. We have been exercising this centers for disease Controls Title 42 authority for quite some time now. It is a public health authority, not only to protect The American public, not only to protect the communities along the border, but also to protect the migrants themselves. And are any of these migrants being vaccinated to guard against the coronavirus, to make sure you dont have large, you know, Community Spread . I guess you could call it Community Spread along there along the border at Del Rio because there are thousands of people there. Are any of these folks being vaccinated, and might they be vaccinated before they go to haiti . So we are not vaccinating them at this time. What we have done as part of the surge of resources is dedicate the Department Of Health And Human Services personnel to the location to address the medical needs of these individuals. And as i referenced earlier, were also bringing in resources from The American red cross. This is really an extraordinary effort, and we will work through this in very, very quick order. We are executing our multipronged plan. And have you briefed the president on whats happening at Del Rio . And is it time for the president to go down to the border and take a look for himself . So, we have in fact briefed the president. I have been personally in touch with members in the White House on a regular basis. As a matter of fact, multiple times every single day. And i will be traveling to the border myself. Youll be traveling to the border. And i just want to make that clear i didnt mishear you. Has the president been briefed on the situation . No. As a matter of fact, just to be clear, the president has indeed been briefed. Hes been briefed multiple times. We are extraordinarily vigilant in addressing this situation, and we will address it successfully. It is challenging. It is heartbreaking. But we are addressing it. Are you getting any cooperation out of mexico . How are they assisting you in this . So, we certainly have been in very close touch with mexico. A number of us have been speaking with our counterparts in mexico. This is a partnership, and we are seeing, in fact, the flow of individuals stopped, and were grateful for Mexicos Partnership in this regard. I want to switch to domestic extremism. There have been a lot of concern about the potential for violence involving a rally at the Capitol Yesterday in support of the January 6th insurrectionists, those accused insurrectionists. We saw a massive police presence. And everything ended up pretty much peacefully. But are you still monitoring any credible threats of violence related to January 6th . So, right now, jim, we are not seeing any more specific credible threats arising from the January 6th insurrection. We really handled yesterdays potential admirably in partnership with our state and local officials. We disseminated information broadly to the Law Enforcement Community as well as to the nonprofit community. We were ready for yesterday should anything materialize. And, fortunately, it did not. And i think thats a product of the great cooperation and efforts we made. Domestic violent extremism remains the most prominent terroristrelated threat to the homeland, and we are very vigilant in learning of the threat streams and pushing out information to our state, local, tribal, territorial partners so everyone is equipped should the threat materialize. And, mr. Secretary, you still have a former president who is continuing to stir up trouble, throwing his support by the protest yesterday. He was saying hearts and minds are with these protesters, yesterday. He is continuing to spread the Big Lie about the election. Isnt he making your life more difficult . Isnt he making it more difficult for the department of Homeland Security to crack down on domestic extremism . Jim, words matter. The words of leaders matter a lot. His words, the dissemination of a false narrative, is unhelpful and counterproductive, and it is in Fact Something that our adversaries exploit. And i want to ask you about refugees from afghanistan. You have said that you expect more than 50,000 to resettle in the united states amid great risk from the taliban. But here was the reaction from republican Montana Congressman Matt rosendale when he learned that 75 refugees would be resettled in his state. He said i have advocated that we try and settle these individuals in other countries around afghanistan, especially if we cannot ensure proper vetting as elected officials its our duty to protect the citizens we represent and i will not allow this administration to compromise the safety of montanans. What do you say to him . I say a number of things. First of all, our Screening And Vetting is multilayered. It involves agencies in the intelligence, law enforcement, and counterterrorism areas across the federal government. This is what we do. As a government we screen and vet individuals seeking refuge in the united states, number one. Number two, the voices that overwhelm his voice are the voices of Unity And Pride in accepting vulnerable afghans. This is who we are as a country. We stand up for the people who stood up for us. We are providing refuge to individuals who assisted us in combat in afghanistan. We are providing refuge to vulnerable women, journalists, young kids. This is one of our greatest traditions as a country. We have committed relief to those individuals, and we are delivering it. And we are delivering it while securing the safety of The American public. And, mr. Secretary, i have to ask you, you talk about this american tradition of welcoming refugees, welcoming people in need. Were welcoming afghans, but were sending haitians back. Is there a contradiction there . Not at all. Those two processes are quite different. We are bringing in afghan nationals by air after they have been screened and vetted. That is a safe, orderly, and humane process. That is quite different than illegal entry in between ports of entry in a time of pandemic when we have been quite clear, explicit, for months now that that is not the way to reach the united states. And it will not succeed. I want to ask you about some of this antiimmigrant nativist language that were hearing on television. Heres just one example. I know that the left and all the little gatekeepers on twitter become literally hysterical if you use the Term Replacement if you suggest that the democratic party is trying to replace the current electorate, the voters now casting ballots with new people, more obedient voters from the first world. But they become hysterical because thats whats happening. Every time they import a new voter, i become disenfranchised as a voter. When you hear folks like Tucker Carlson Use that kind of rhetoric, what do you say to those voices out there who claim that immigrants are being brought into this country that refugees are being brought into this country to replace other americans to try to tilt the electoral map, for example, as one of the accusations that they make. What do you make of that kind of rhetoric . Jim, what i say is a cuban immigrant son as one of the leading journalists in the united states of america. A cuban immigrant is a secretary of the department of Homeland Security. Were a nation of laws, and were a nation of immigrants. And that rhetoric will be overwhelmed by people who understand and execute our values and principles as a country. All right, mr. Secretary, thank you very much for your time. We appreciate it. Good talking to you, sir. Thank you, jim. And were following a developing story, Military Jet Crashes in a texas neighborhood, damaging homes.

Com oooooooo yeah eh eh land and sea, Thats Mine and pardon when i shine hands to the sky, all mine a miraculous rescue in texas, two Military Pilots are alive after ejecting from their jet just seconds before it crashed into a texas neighborhood. Cnns Camila Bernal has been following this. Reporter jim, this was a military training mission, and we know that this military Training Jet took off from Corpus Christi International Airport and then crashed in this residential area in lake worth, texas. This is in the dallasfort worth area. It happened just before 11 00 in the morning. And thankfully these two pilots are alive. But they are in the hospital. We know that onboard was an instructor and a student. We are being told that the instructor, he is in stable condition. Its unclear what condition the student is in, but he is alive and receiving treatment. Thankfully these two pilots were able to use their parachutes, ejection seats. But unfortunately one of those parachutes was caught in the powerlines in this neighborhood. The other pilot, he was able to land in the neighborhood. This is a military town, an area that knows a lot of these incidents and a lot of these military members, even the chief of police saying he understood exactly what these pilots were going through and how difficult this must be for them. Listen to what he said. I am not a pilot but i am a veteran along with our chief and many of the others in the room. And i would imagine that for a pilot this is the day that you dread, that you hope never comes. And so for them and their families whove experienced that worst day, we just want them to know and their families to know that our thoughts and prayers are with them. Reporter now, the chief also saying that this could have been a lot worse. We know that at least six homes were damaged. But just three of them had substantial damage. And its not because the plane crashed directly into the homes. In fact, that jet crashed in the Backyard Area of those homes. But the debris and the wings, thats what caused the damage. We know that some of the homes are also left without power. And they needed to clean all that up before restoring the power. But i tdo want to point out one other thing. The military has potential crash zones. And the crash happening right in the middle of two of these potential crash zones. It doesnt normally happen. It is uncommon, but it is not entirely unexpected. Jim . All right, Camila Bernal, thank you so much. Coming up, a strange new twist in the case of missing woman gabby petito, the main Person Of Interest her fiance is also missing. And police are desperately trying to find him. Hows sanchez looking .

Gentle Music the fbi and police are continuing their search across a vast 25,000 Acre Florida Nature Reserve Today looking for one man, Brian Laundrie. They are hoping that finding him will also help them locate his missing fiance gabby petito. Petitos family reported her missing after she and laundrie went on a Road Trip out west documenting much of it online, and only laundrie returned home since coming back he has refused to speak with police and has been named a Person Of Interest in the case. Cnns Leyla Santiago joins me now from North Port, florida. Are there any signs of mr. Laundrie . Reporter well, jim, The Search continues. I just checked in with some folks that are inside. They say they are continuing to work to search for laundrie. So let me paint the picture as to what we have seen as weve been here today. This is a Wildlife Reserve, 25,000 acres that they are combing through to try to find laundrie. We have seen atvs that come out with quite a bit of mud, indicating that they are not staying on an established path here. Weve seen k9 units, weve seen a Helicopter Circling above, and they are here because as the North Port police tweeted this morning that they are looking for any sort of clue that mr. Laundrie may be here because this is where they say the family sent him. It has been quite the Time Line of events. But lets take you back to friday when police heard from the attorney and the family of Brian Laundrie saying that the last time they knew of his whereabouts was tuesday, and that tuesday he had a Hiking Bag and was heading here to this Wildlife Reserve to hike, perhaps, for the day. So you can see folks have been coming and going, and this is why police are here. But while they are here, five mile as way from his home, go about 2,000 miles away, and theres a whole Nother Search there. And that is for 22yearold gabby petito. She is they are searching for her, in the Grand Teton National Park near a Camp Ground there. There are now two searches in two states for two separate people after this couple went on this Road Trip, but only he came back. Such a strange case. All right, Leyla Santiago, thank you very much for that report. We appreciate it. Coming up, a warning that came seconds too late. What were learning about the moments before a botched u. S.

We now know seconds before the missile hit, the ci i think warned the military that civilians including children were likely near the target vehicle. We also know the wrong car was targeted, and now seven children and three adults including an afghan Aid Worker are dead. Im joined now by someone with very unique insight into this as he led both the pentagon and central intelligence agency. Mr. Secretary, thanks for joining us. You know how both of these organizations operate and how they work together, how theyre supposed to work together in this post9 11 world. What does this tragedy tell you . Bad intelligence, miscommunication, this ageold problem of agencies not working well enough together . What do you think . Well, jim, a Drone Strike is a weapon of war, and it has to be exercised with a great deal of care in terms of the targeting. The approach that we used when it came to Drone Strikes was not only to have surveillance in the air but also to have intelligence on the ground, to make sure that we have the right target. And also to make sure that children, innocent children and women, are not in the shot. Obviously, that was not done here. And i understand they were worried about some kind of Car Bomb occurring soon after 35 marines had been killed, but thats no excuse for not exercising care when it comes to pulling the trigger. Right. And how is it that one agency sees civilians and possibly kids at the target vehicle, but the other people carrying out the strike apparently didnt see them . How is that possible . Well, it is possible depending on the shot that youd have from surveillance and what its following. If the Surveillance Target is solely on the vehicle itself, it isnt going to take in the larger picture. And thats why its very important if youre going to do these kinds of shots accurately to have intelligence on the ground to confirm the target that youre after. Unfortunately, that didnt happen here, and they paid the price. I hope they learned the lessons of what it means to fire on these targets and to be damn sure you know what youre firing at. Right. And, ultimately, whos to blame here . Does there need to be some kind of measure of accountability, firings, resignations . Youve led agencies in these kinds of situations. What typically happens after something like this . Well, normally you would have an investigation, and you should have an investigation here because of the innocent lives that were lost. An investigation that will determine exactly what kind of information they had. An investigation that will determine whether or not they were warned that they might have the wrong targets that theyre firing at, an investigation that would determine who gave the final order to fire. There is Somebody Somewhere that has the ultimate responsibility to say fire. And we have to ask that individual why the order was given in light of the facts that are coming out. And should this spur some changes to how the u. S. Conducts Drone Strikes, this issue of overthehorizon capabilities . Well, i think its important to always learn the lessons from these kinds of mistakes that are made because, look, i think a vital part of Counterterrorism Operations is the ability to have good intelligence, obviously, on the targets, to be able to deliver whether youre going to bring Special Forces in by Helicopter To Rappel down and go after the target or whether youre going to use a drone to take a shot. Youve got to be able to have very accurate intelligence on the targets youre firing at. I hope theyll take the time to look at the steps that are necessary here. Cia generally relied a great deal more on intelligence on the ground than the military does. And i think the military, if its going to use drone capability, i think its going to have to improve the quality of their intelligence as to the targets theyre firing. And i just spoke to Secretary Mayorkas a few moments ago about the situation in Del Rio, texas, where more than 12,000 migrants are living under a bridge. He stopped short of calling it a crisis. But when you call up the pentagon with help for logistics, arent we approaching the definition of a crisis . Uh, i think any time you have 12,000 people, men, women, and children living under a bridge, that is by definition a crisis. And i think we have to do everything necessary to respond to that crisis, using whatever resources we can bring to bear. But there is no question there is a Human Tragedy unfolding at that site. And the White House i mean, it seems to me they better get a handle on this and get a handle on it quickly. This has the potential to, as you know, mr. Secretary, having been in government for a very long time, this can spiral out of control very quickly and get ugly fast. Well, if we havent learned anything over the last few months, its that you cannot assume that things are going to go fine. Youve always got to assume that contingencies can go bad. And then youre better prepared to respond to those contingencies. Youve got a situation here that is bad and that can get worse very quickly. I think it demands full attention in order to make sure that Human Lives are not put at risk. All right, former Defense Secretary, thank you so much for your expertise this afternoon. We appreciate it, as always. Good to be with you, jim. And a mobile App Created Years ago to provide realtime alerts about incidents in kabul, afghanistan, has taken on new importance following the taliban takeover. Cnns Rachel Crane has this story on this Weeks Mission ahead. Reporter since the taliban took control of kabul, residents of the city have been anxious to get information that can help keep them safe. Many have turned to an afghancreated app that provides near realtime safety information. This app was not meant to respond to the fall of a country. Reporter Sarah Wahidi is the founder, which roughly translates to accountability. Wahidi started the project while living in kabul in 2018 after she survived a suicide bombing. And i was really confused by the fact that there was no realtime verified information of what was going on in especially a city which is consistently reeling with instability. And it just kind of sparked light bulbs in my head about what if we were able to create a platform which kept citizens informed, engaged, and at the same time officials made accountable . Reporter today her team consists of roughly 20 people who verify reports and locations of things like explosions, power outages, checkpoints, and dishonest gas prices, among other needtoknow information. That information then gets mapped out in the app. We try to mitigate as much anxiety as best as we can in the current situation. Reporter since the taliban took control of kabul, she says her team has seen a surge in down loads. And while the instability the taliban have caused Make Verifying reports harder for her team, they continue to keep her updated. We do the best that we can with it, and the team doesnt want to stop. Ive told them many times this is your app, you take responsibility of it. And they said that until we can and until they shut down the internet, were going to keep doing this.
