eric: from capitol hill we have now an update on what's happening on southern border wall street journal reporting that more than 170,000 migrants were arrested last month, that 15-year high. this, of course, comes as we're getting closer look also at the two little sisters from ecuador who was dropped over border wall by smugglers and left to peenged for themselves pretty shocking. footage that we saw at night alex hogan live on the border she's in la jolla texas with more on that. hi, alex. reporter: we've just moved over to mission texas now, we're right by the rio grand this body of water here as it simple as it may be it separates the u.s. from mexico and final stop for some of these heroing journeys for those seeks new life in the united states now we have new drone video we can show you of some of those families who arrive in texas here earlier this morning apprehensions expected to exceed 170,000 in march. that would be a 15-year time. >> but there's -- there's a crisis at our southern border and the american people i think are going to continue to see the true atrocities taking place. >> meanwhile fox news obtained a photo of the sister vibe with from the border wall left alone. they are being cared for and safe. someone positive note this this growing humanitarian problem. and lawmakers are celebrating. >> there was border patrol agents, united states border patrol agents that saved two toddlers. they saved them 4,000 lives this year. >> still those girls are just two of the nearly 19,000 children in u.s. facilities. cuss testimony and border protection now say that they can expect as many as 184,000 kids to cross the border alone this year that staggering statistic would be the highest on record. new facilities are opening up or going up to meet capacity and today pentagon approving hhs request to use southern california for migrant children. yesterdays on friday cuss testimony and border protection announced opening of a temporary facility and eagle pass texas, and thursday the national associated christian churches opened a new center to house those children. while their husband a massive increase of migrants that we've seen in recent weeks, and days, so far today we've seen quite a quiet day here in the valley and border agents pointing to possibly the holiday weekend as a reason for why we're seeing that today. eric. eric: yeah. that shows how close you can be with mexico just across the river there. thank you so much. in a moment we'll have more later on in our newscast with arizona congresswoman debbie lesko and what, done to stop the situation. arthel. arthel:>> somebody that grew upg baseball as a kid and a fan played in high school, you know big braves fan, i mean this is terrible for the organization, it is terrible for the fans, it is terrible per the small business owners and the metro atlanta community and our state. arthel: that is georgia govan brian kemp on major league baseball decision to move its all-star game out of the state and mlb announcement is in response to the state's controversial new election reform law but saying they didn't like it but it was necessary. >> legislator and governor made the decision to go forward with this bill. of people making decisions, not to come to our state and it is going to impact millions of georgia employment, small business our corporation and very unfortunate. arthel: yeah go to steve harrigan i caught mayor saying it was unfortunate american fallout that the move on part of the mlb was necessary, what are you hearing from there outside of the park, steve? >> arthel certainly not a simple story here. the commissioner of major league baseball saying it was his decision to move the game from this park here to a yet unnamed park for july 13th summer classic after georgia's election do which he said restricts access to the ballot box now, governor kemp republican has pushed back hard against that saying only real effect will be to hurt georgia here's governor kemp. >> in the middle of a pandemic major league baseball put the wishes of stacey abrams ahead of the economic well being of georgia count on all-star game for a paycheck. >> as you mentioned arthel the response especially of democrats here in georgia has been complicated. really seeing both sides of the issue, stacey abrams who ran against for governor against kemp on successfully tweeted the following disappointed mlb will move all star game and proud of stance on voting advance and i urge and speak the or stay and fight there has been some pushback from republicans in the senate. they say they might try to take away baseball's antitrust exemption. arthel back to you. arthel: steve harrigan. eric. eric: now delving into why and we'll take a look at

brother. yesterday capitol hill police officer william evans was killed in that attack at the capitol prim perimeter the disict slammed a car into a barricade, raises new questions today about security around and will be reopening to the public completely. so what do do ceo of the solutions of former secret service special agent, and former department of homeland security advisor charles this attacker hit that barricade which is, you know, a security measure that was placed there potentially the ward off terrorist attackings. what do you think can be done to reduce or end these type of assaults or is that simply in this day and age not possible? >> yes. thanks eric you know what we saw yesterday with the vehicle ramming the barrier and armed assailant attacking two capitol police officers is just one threat in a multitude of threats that the u.s. capitol receives and encounters on everyday basis some are none, like yesterday as it appears it was unknown. right, this guy is off the radar not on the radar. and any law enforcement agency, and that's where these established permanent security perimeters come into play. so as a result, yesterday, we saw the system working exactly how it should. we saw the vehicle barriers perform the way they should we saw the two police officers perform extensionally well. exactly the way they needed to eliminate a threat very quickly. but as we think about perimeters following the task force report that was requested by speaker pelosi and led by general, this has to be a what deemed reasonable and balanced while still being able to stop what a realistic and common threats that the capitol is beginning to face. >> eric: when you talk about reasonable balance talk about that fencing that was put up after january 6th attack on capitol hill. i mean people say well it wouldn't have happened if fencing was still up others say that fencing was too much but, i mean, any sense of entry where it was there right on the outside the rustle senate office building or down constitution avenue, you know, perpetrators still have access to whatever point that entry is and it could be sensitive. >> yeah. that's right eric. i think this is where strong intelligence programs come into play here, and this is one area that the task force focused on extensionively and that is an intelligence program that is able to pull all of this information together where you do know about a eminent threat and you're able to respond. i think they brought up the specific example of mobile fence right we saw the white house expand the perimeter around the white house during this summer riots where they pushed it out to h street down the constitution just south of the ability to respond to intelligence. collect it, analyze it and then have the maines mechanisms in place to expand accordingly but fencing around capitol right now the president of the national guard these are just not long-term solutions. that are going to be acceptable to either congress or the general public in d.c.. and the capitol police find themselves in a tough situation of building berchg within their department to make sure they have the capable resources to respond to these types of threats. >> and then there's the broader issue this -- this suspect was unknown noah greene 25 years old. not a terrorist attack they suspect his brother -- according to "the washington post" say there's some violent type of argument on thursday night that they family does suspect a potential mental illness depression, a star athlete. but past few years descended into apparently the family says a paranoia deep religiousness and mental issues. how can we protect against or is it possible at all to deal with that and what will authorities be delving into when they look at his background? >> yeah. so ultimately when you don't nobody a threat what we saw yesterday was question saw what is known as the last line of defense perform. right in terms of physical perimeter barriers, and the police officers that, you know, in some situations, they are ultimately going to be eric, the last line of defense for a place like the capitol ultimately capitol police are a protection oriented law enforcement agency. and in some of these instance when is you don't know about them, you just cannot prevent them entirely ahead of time. what they're going to be doing investigatively the bureau will attacked leads and see joint terrorism task force participate to make sure there are no terrorism related it ties to this individual. and they'll start going thoroughly into his background going through social media talking to friends, family, coworkers, and this is not uncommon eric in the washington, d.c. area. where we do experience people suffering from mental health illness, that do travel from far distances away to come to the government because they have some perceived injustice that they feel that a particular element of the u.s. government is committing against them. so it's hard to -- >> yeah. sorry. eric: on that point for we cannily he apparently was a follower of the nation of islam and louie has been avid against vaccines is that something to look at potential influence or any type of factors like that? >> so they absolutely will in terms of an ideology, they're going try to find out did he take this action based on the specific ideology? this was where the terrorism element comes in. right? did he take an action based on the particular religion? or was it the mental health issues that just kind of pushed this over the edge? so that's why, you know, in terms of calling these types of incidents early, i'm not a proponent of that. let's see how this plays out. and we'll get the information ultimately from the investigation on what the motivation was for this individual to carry out this attack. eric: of course, our hearts and our prayers are with the slain police officer william billy evans who is an 18 l-year veteran capitol hill officer evans showed the great courage and bravery of what our law enforcement officers across the country have to face every day. >> absolutely. eric: we should remember them and thank them because they do make the ultimate sacrifice sadly. charles marineo good to see you arthel. arthel: in california teaming up with a nonprofit to pay a thousand dollars a month to low income mothers of color, although it is not a direct payment. ed why the is to help them get back on their feet. but some krit accident say eligibility based on race is discriminatory. senior correspondent claudia is live in toledo, california with more. hi, claudia. critics say the biggest issue is use of tax dollars and marine county is kicking in 400,000 to support a demonstration that will give 125 low income mothers living in a thousand for two years and only mothers of color are eligible because organizers say they face the greatest dhadges. challenges. >> in addition to dealing with everything that comes along with being, you know, low wage owner or low income, we wanted to ensure moms that also experience based on race that we would be in a position to kind of test the program to support those moms to reach their goals around self-sufficiency. >> the 400 grangsd comes from the county won't go to the mothers directly. but will be used to help with job training and other support services. even so critics say this use of public funds is illegal and demoralizing. if you're not favored race it is discouraging government officials are saying you don't matter as much to us. you don't count. we're not going to consider you for this program and it is i think it really is -- discouraging. it is discriminatory. >> county program comes on heals of evanston, illinois voting to pay reparations to black residents in form of housing grants. the first program of its kiengsd must and a similar idea is being deangted in rochester, new york mayor lovely warren has suggested leveraging rest of knewings from legalize pot to may reparations to black and brown residents there. back here in county conservative groups say they'll be keeping a close eye on this program that will solely benefit women of color they say if a poor white mother feels harmed by being excluded she could have legal standing to file a federal lawsuit. arthel. arthel: claudia, thanks

for real i don't know. >> but that is really i don't know. what the answer is but you don't know if the laptop was yours. >> i have no idea. no idea. >> could have been yours. >> certainly there could be a laptop that was stole frb me could be that i was hacked could be that it was russian intelligence. it could be that it was stolen from me. it that exchange with cbs tracy smith part of a rare sit down interview with hunter biden about a new bock and called cast doubt on previous biden claims that laptop was part of a russian disinformation campaign or smear campaign last call "the new york post" published e male frays laptop dropped off at a delaware repair shop and among a thank you note from a executive at the ukrainian company for allege meeting set up with hundredth per biden father and then vice president biden shop owner cannot say for sure that it was hunter biden who dropped off that laptop. but the owner says, he turned it over to the fbi. now we did reach out to the white house to find out if they were aware of this interview. we haven't heard back just yet arthel. arthel: aishah hasnie, thank you. eric. eric: arthel a total number of harass alongson border reaching 15-year high last month, in march, this is images like one sparks some nationwide outrage and concern. border agents say smugglers drop those two little sisters from ecuador ages five and three, drop them from the top of the border wall well as you can see right now they're doing fine. we're told their mother has been loangted out of states so what can we do nation do about tackling this growing influx arizona congresswoman debbie lesko and two little girl it is shows a family are what they're resorting to has member a appropriate and legal way for migrants to do this -- and not resort to this. what are we doing wrong and what should we do right? >> well this is definitely biden's border crisis, his policies are directly leading to this kind of behavior. i mean, let's face it, the cartels are doing human trafficking and drug trafficking. their gaining money off of it and biden policies there's ones that is encouraging it. i mean, he first has to tell, stop telling people all overt world that he's going to give illegal immigrants citizenship. he's got to stop telling them give them free health care and 1400 dollars stimulus checks. you don't have to be a rocket scientist to realize that if biden is going to tell the world that thousands of people are going to flood other our border. so that's number one. number two, president biden needs to get back to the remain in mexico policy. so all of these asylum seekers could either stay in mexico or another state. third country, while their claims are being processed, and in my opinion third which is one of my pieces of legislation, question need to raise the it credible fear factor when you fears standard i should say for claiming asylum because right now anybody and anybody can just say oh, i'm claiming asylum, and it doesn't meet the bar that it should meet, and so those are three things that president biden can do right now and it would help solve this problem. >> as you know the president has said and administration has said the border is closed. don't come. and he's blamed the trump administration for as they said the dismantling part of the system. but your point -- goes to the fact in dealing with asylum seekers new york teams studied they looked at two recent days they said that just -- ten or 20% of the families were turned back the families show up. they know that they want to get to a border official. a boater officer. and then they claim asylum so that way they know they can get in, and many of these cases we're being told families are being let in and given what, you know, a paper to come back for your solemn hearing and back to old days in the past. >> yeah some of them aren't even given papers or being tested for covid. and he -- in arizona 16 illegal immigrants were dumped in the middle of a park now this is a small town in arizona. it is 80 miles north of the mexico arizona border there's 30 miles of desert before you reach another town. they had no hospitals, no shelters there, the government, under biden just dumped these people including babies in the middle of a park. and you know what happened is the mayor of gila bend with his wife borrowed some vans drove them up to phoenix with a shelter biden calls this humane i don't think so. this is not any humane policy what is he's promoting, and it needs to stop. this is insanity. eric: finally, you know, you accused the administration of this, but at the same time mexico they're not taking back families if you've got a kid under . 7. how do we deal with that you say remain in mexico. but they don't want them back. even if legally you can sending families back. i mean how is this going to work out do you think at the end? can it? >> well, you know, the thing is -- is that it was cooperating with president trump, so, obviously, there's a policy change under president biden and he keeps on claiming that he's trying to treat people knew humanely this is not humane when you let little kids, babies, mothers that are being raped being abused by the cartels. his policies incentivize this and they've absolutely insane and in the only these families, but do you have i think a thousand people a day that are running away from the border patrol probably because they have prior criminal arrests. or they're drug trafficking, and so we're not even talking about those people yet and that's mostly young adults, males, that are doing that, and that's what's happening most here in arizona. a lot of runners not just people turning themselves into border patrol and claiming asylum. >> by the administration says they are expelling people bus clearly -- there's a lot of work to be done. arizona congresswoman debbie lesko who is on the border congresswoman thank you for joining us this morning. >> thank you. eric: arthel. >> two american citizens among dead following a train crash in taiwan. at least 51 people were killed in doesenings more injured when the train hit an unmanned truck that rolled on to a track brian chilcote is live for us in london. >> hi tragedies like this that remind of transient human life and this was jots ragously atrocious accident that train was packed 500 people on it more than 100 of them standing up because all of the seats were taken it is a long holiday weekend in taiwan and a lot of people on that train were on their way to visit families and they were gathering family for a ritual and head to cemetery to look after take care of relatives tombstones pay their respects and train was moving quickly when this collided with that construction truck yofs mentioning parked on a slope above tracks. somehow that trucks brakes hasn't been secured manager of the construction site has been charged with negligence. then the train slammed into a tunnel xowngding not just the crash but the ability to extricate survivors and even as we speak bodies. relatives of the more than 50 people killed gathered even as cleanup inside tunnel helicopters keep in mind a number of relatives are, in fact, survivors of the crash who lost family members and in some cases are now going through the heroing task of preparing to bury their own children. heartbreaking stories, no word on those more word on two americans but, of course, when wech that we will bring it to you. arthel. arthel: tragic story brian chilcote thank you for the update. and we'll be right back. aa insue for veterans like martin. when a hailstorm hit, he needed his insurance to get it done right, right away. usaa. what you're made of, we're made for. usaa eric: happy easter while churches nationwide preparing for easter mass during the pandemic, know this comes as decline of coronavirus cases an a rise in americans getting vaccinated, fuels confidence among some of the fateful yet they can caffly return to indoor services. chief religion correspondent laura greene takes look. a way of hope after covid shut down and empty pughs as vaccine becomes available to more americans easter brings a renewed understanding of resurrection from many houses of worship. >> i couldn't be more excited you know baptisms, we have not been inside our sanctuary in over a year. on easter sunday wild wood united methodist church hold first in person services since start of the pandemic as houses of worship reopen 76% of church-goers feel somewhat or very safe to return to in person services. that is up from 64% from last year. ♪ ♪ still it will be another atypical holiday season for most as many houses of worship keep their online presence like this virtual passover seder. for of the brooklyn diocese that wage against state toll hold socially distant mass this easter will be especially meaningful. >> i think this easter we'll see more people coming back and give a boost and see them -- senior pastor says last year has been like a prolonged holy saturday between jesus dying on cross and easter. >> when the pandemic started we have been in a tomb time. >> thomas agrees. i think that the pandemic has brought a lot of us to our knees. well we have to stop and ask deep ultimate questions i cross my life -- >> meaning of easter is death does not have final word and message for this easter is that covid doesn't either. in new york, lauren greene, fox news. eric: a terrific uplifting report from lauren. well like every year pope francis will celebrate easter morning mass in vatican tomorrow and fox news channel will have it live our coverage starts live 4 a.m. eastern time. tomorrow with the holy father. and we will be right back. - i'm norm. - i'm szasz.

>> absolutely. >> what level of force might that be? >> that would be the top tier deadly force. >> why? >> because of the fact that if your knee is on a person's neck that can kill them. >> and that is the head of the minneapolis police department's homicide division on the stand yesterday at the trial of derek chauvin. criticizing the actions of the former officer accused in the murder of mr. george floyd. lieutenant richard zimmerman testifying that kneeling on the neck of someone who was handcuffed lying on his stomach is, quote, totally unnecessary. let's bring in our legal panel now mercedes is a fox news legal analyst and richard st. paul is defense attorney also a member of the republican lawyers association. so lieutenant zimmerman testimony a blow to defense mercedes what were some of the other strengthses in the prosecutors arguments and witness this is week? >> well without question aside from mr. zimmerman it was the bystanders which was gut-wrenching. these testimony that came forward by those individuals, many of them cried on the stand many of them said they stood by helpless that it was clear to them that there floyd was dying underneath the knee of officer chauvin. so it was very painstaking to hear that i'm sure that a lot of jurors sitting there were moved by that testimony. in fact, one of the bystanders wuct even cross examined by the defense they allowed direct testimony to stand as is. so it certainly a powerful blow to the defense, and it really resonates the message being to these jurors, if all of these individuals standing around watching this interaction between the officer and mr. floyd, and they understood how grave circumstances were yet the officer chauvin never stood up, it is like what is prosecutor started in the opening testimony when he said he didn't let up and get up. let up and get up you're going to hear that over and over again. and at one point what he should have gotten let up and get up certainly at the point where mr. floyd was no longer conscience. which is over three minutes to four officer chauvin release his hold on mr. floyd. arthel: richard what was strength in defense and witness this is week? >> so, to start off with lieutenant disem or man defense tried to shed some light on the fight that lieutenant zimmerman head of homicide in minneapolis police that he had not been patrolling on the streets for over 20 years. that is that he had not been a patrol person since 1993. and really that officer chauvin who was a 19-year veteran in 19 years patrol officer mean that they do patrols on street that they assign to l property city that lieutenant zimmerman hadn't had an experience in so long and wasn't familiar with having to arrest somebody, and that his -- followed up investigation so i think that's what defense wanted to highlight is that he is does not know what it is like ton on street and how to deal with people and arrest them and what force is necessary to arrest the individuals. so that was part of what the defense was showing cross-examination of -- >> mercedes i'm sorry so far that seems to be a weak argument when trial resumes on monday when side bears bigger burden to get their desired outcome mercedes ripped give me a short one minute on that one. >> there's a burden of proof rest with the prosecution but you can tell from the opening statement how powerful the testimony is going to be. this whole case is geng to rest on the toxicology report and defense will come forward and has been highlighted in opening that their going to rest heavily on toxicology report and the defense is already said don't focus on the nine minutes and 29 seconds like the prosecution wants you to focus. let's focus on experts and focus on 100,000 pages of evidence that hasn't come in yet. let's focus on these other testimony that's going come in as well. but in the final analysis, the prosecution has a very powerful case. that video alone especially when mr. floyd is no longer conscience, why is officer chauvin still on restraining him with his knee on his neck and that's what that -- devastating blow not sure how they're going to overcome it in the defense. >> richgd let me give you another 30 seconds -- >> sure very quick we have not reached meat of this case the meat solely relies on did officer chauvin put in his knee and george floyd's neck cause his death? or was it something else that caused the death of george floyd we have not gotten to meat that's going to be the bottom line in this case. >> well tell you what it was difficult to watch. it was really difficult to watch. arthel: richard st. paul, mercedes coleman i have to leave we're at the engsd of the show but we'll get you back maybe next week to talk about the trial as it unfoldings again next week, and right now thanks guys. that's going to do it for us eric and i take care guys are eric and i will be back tomorrow at noon eastern time. going to be easter sunday tomorrow. going to be very exciting. all right eric we'll see you in a bit. take care everybody. thanks for watching. i mean it... uh-oh, sorry... oh... what?
