show. >> jesse: see you soon. >> bret: good evening, breaking tonight we are following several major stories the biden administration is taking major criticisms over its withdrawal of u.s. forces from afghanistan in 2021. it's all coming out in a fiery hearing on capitol hill. we'll take you there. first up though, a new ruling from the u.s. supreme court on the border crisis. justices just ruled 6-3 that texas can arrest migrants suspected of crossing into the country illegally and send them back home. it's a significant setback for the president's policies. correspondent david spunt starts us off tonight live from the justice department. good evening, david. >> hello, bret. this order from the u.s. supreme court as divisive as the issue of immigration enforcement itself. it is a classic fight between the federal government and local government when it documents law enforcement. and, right now, texas is winning the legal battle. let's take a live look at our fox news drone camera on the border right now in texas looking over at the border into mexico. with this order, any police officer in texas can now arrest and have deported someone for entering the country illegally. reuters recently reporting that mexico officials say that they will not accept those migrants that are kicked out of texas. the high court previously blocked texas officials from enforcing the new texas law twice while it makes its way through the legal system. governor greg abbott writing though this afternoon in a 6-3 decision scotus meaning the supreme court allows texas to begin enforcing senate bill 4 that allows the arrest of illegal immigrants. we still have to have hearings in the fifth circuit federal court of appeals but this is clearly a positive development. the case is expected to be in front of the supreme court for a ruling on the merits of the controversial law itself. the order exposed the usual rift among the justices. the six conservative justices voting in favor of texas with three liberals including ketanji brown jackson voting against justice sotomayor calling the texas law a novel scheme that invites further chaos and crisis. the white house weighing in karine jean-pierre says we fundamentally disagree with the supreme court's order allowing texas harmful and unconstitutional law to go into effect. s.b. 4 will not only make communities in texas less safe, it will also burden law enforcement and sow chaos and confusion at our southern border. the next step as governor abbott said this will go to a federal appeals court. ultimately could drive migrants from texas to other border states. bret? >> bret: david spunt, thank you. david, some of the other supreme court news today involves former president donald trump. >> bret, that's exactly right. the supreme court received a formal written notice from president donald trump's legal team about why he wants to take his case of presidential immunity before the the justices. he believes he should be immune from prosecution from special counsel jack smith, arguing that his alleged actions to overturn the 2020 election results happened while he was president of the united states. since that happened while he was in office he can't be charged. the judge will hear owner arguments on this case april 25th. a little bit more than a month. it could push the actual case in washington, d.c. perhaps after the election or, perhaps, cancel it all together. bret? >> bret: we'll follow it all. david, thanks. now to, as we mentioned at the top of the show, a difficult and contentious reexamination of president biden's u.s. troop withdrawal from afghanistan. top military officials express regret over the disastrous at times fiery house hearing. congressional correspondent aishah hasnie has the story from capitol hill. >> there's zero doubt in my mind there were mistakes made. >> generals mark milley and frank mackenzie back on capitol hill this time as private citizens blasting the biden administration for the chaotic withdrawal from afghanistan. >> if there's fault, it lies in a policy decision that placed the joint force in the situation. >> the general telling lawmakers afghanistan would not would not have collapsed had white house followed pentagon assessment to keep u.s. troops on the ground. >> the afghanistan government and afghanistan security forces would not have collapsed in august of '21 had we maintained that posture. >> they also blame the state department for ordering an evacuation too late. >> the fundamental mistake, fundamental flaw was the timing of the state department. >> and that was too little too late. >> it was my judgment that it was far too little far too late. >> few democrats who attended the hearing say the failure lies in 20 years of american policy. including that of former president trump. and they wondered why the generals even showed up today. >> so there is not really anything new that was learned today because you've testified do it before. >> i will leave that to you all to determine. >> some loved ones of the 13 u.s. service members who died during the attack at abby gate were also in the room like steve nikoui who was arrested for shouting during president biden's state of the union address. >> those charges get cropped? >> i have no idea, no. no charges got dropped. >> you are still facing charges? >> yeah. >> really? and nobody from the administration has tried to intervene or help? >> democrat congresswoman debbie dingell side stepping whether congress should intervene. >> i don't know, you guys. i got to go. >> republican michael waltz says lawmakers will do everything to get those charges dropped. >> working with the sergeant at arms, the capitol police. >> and fox did reach out to the state department today for reaction to today's testimony. we have not heard back just yet. bret, there was another moment during the hearing here that got some unwanted attention for republicans. chairman michael mccall caught on a hot mic basically using foul language to try and wrap up congressman darrell issa's comments. watch this. >> gentlemen's time has expired. ms. miller-meeks recognized. >> i didn't realize. >> keeping five minute rule. >> i thought it was done. i thought it was a closing act, chairman. >> go [bleep] yourself. >> i don't believe he realized he was -- the mic was hot at that moment. issa's team telling fox tonight no big deal he has been called far worse and by colleague he doesn't like. mccaul spokesperson is telling me the chairman was gaveling the time, darrell issa's comments. chairman mccall himself writes this: it was a long day and i lost my temper that is uncharacteristic of belief and i apologized to mr. issa who i consider a friend. so both sides trying to move on from that moment. bret?

[applause] >> a recent "new york times" siena college poll finds president biden trailing trump with hispanic voters by 6 points. >> there are a number of latino communities that have benefited significantly from the student loan relief. we know that latino communities have also benefited tremendously from the cap on insulin. >> but biden's communications director admits that to beat trump, i think it's going to take a relentless effort on behalf of this campaign to reach the voters. so far they have done that by promoting both biden's words and trump's words. >> the point is it's about values. what -- what do we value? who are we? i mean, who are we for? what are we trying to get done? folks, you know, trump wants to undo everything we have done. >> peter: the president is hoping to showcase the investment his campaign is making in nevada, but nobody said opening a new campaign office is easy. >> so, folks, look, i'm going on too long. i apologize. [laughter] >> that must be my traveling staff. [laughter] >> peter: the president's remarks later on in las vegas were about things that he is doing to lower costs. the challenge for him and his team is going to be convincing people who don't feel like costs are coming down. that they actually are. bret?

would be acting like internally. they know it's not an outlier. they know this is polling trend as you mentioned, bret, which is why this president is spending time, that for example in nevada. not a place that he wants to be in all likelihood in terms of electoral map. and a big piece of this appears to be trying to pander to and reach out to and win back some support from latino voters. i mean, fair enough, it's a key voting block and a growing you been in a lot of these states. but there is also the conflict where latinos actually agree with republicans and trump on a number of issues. we have seen that biden and his team are going to lead into the abortion question this limitless abortion on demand policy. that's not really going to fly very well with a lot of hispanic catholic voters for instance. so they are trying to cobble back together successful for them in 2020. and they are discovering from their perspective not too late hopefully that this is going to be a real challenge. >> yeah. francesca important to point out latino hispanic voters voting block all kinds of differences. to guy's point even on immigration there is a shift here and just today with the supreme court, "the washington post" writes it this way. supreme court clears the way for texas to enforce immigration law for now. sb 4 makes it state crime for migrants to illegallyward border deport undocumented individuals. the litigation over state law is the latest court battle between the biden administration and republican leaders in texas over the proper role of states and immigration enforcement. even on that issue it seems that the former president is better positioned at least where those border states and even hispanic latino voters are. >> president biden will be headed to texas later this week. that's more of a fundraising swing that he will be on when he is in texas. but to guy's point, just looking at this from a 30,000-foot level while the biden campaign says it sees multiple pathways to re-election. multiple pathways to 270, you look at these battle ground states, and president biden is running into issues with michigan with the uncommitted vote as we have been talking about, is he running into issues in states like nevada even though there is support for unions there. but also with the latino vote. today he was talking about housing costs while he was in nevada. that's been a prominent driver of inflation. and inflation is one of the key things that we see voters saying in poll after poll very concerned about. he has been pushing a housing plan on his trip there. that the biden campaign heading to these battleground states, one of the benefits he has post state of the union is the power of the presidency and he can travel to these states and do both campaign events as well as official events. >> bret: yeah. ari, going after segments of voters now because of the war israel hamas, an effort to go after jewish american voters, and some of the things the former president has said raised some eyebrows, take a listen. >> i think that the democrats have been very, very opposed to jewish people, that's true. and to israel. all you have to do is look at schumer what he did with israel is a disgrace and i think israel will probably not forget it very soon. >> former president's comments were utterly disgusting. to say you hate israel or your religion because you have one political view over the other is sick. it's hateful. it is unadulterated anti-semitism. >> this mes from an interview he did with sebastian gorka in which he said quote you see those palestinian marches even i'm amazed how many people are in those marches and guys like schuyler it's votes. i think it's votes more than anything else because he was always pro israel. anti-israel now. an jewish person that votes for democrats hates their religion. they hate everything about israel and they should be ashamed of themselves. obviously, that statement got a lot of reaction from democrats, including schumer. >> you know, donald trump, as he has a habit of doing, puts things in the most blunt, tough form you can ever say them. but this has been a long-standing debate inside the jewish community. and let me just set the table. when george h.w. bush ran for president in 1992 and lost, he got only 11% of the jewish vote as a republican. george h.w. bush. donald trump almost tripled it. he got 30% of the jewish vote. the jewish vote increasingly trending republican. it still is a democratic block but it's trending republican. and there's long been a debate inside jewish circles the more religious just jews definitely are more conservative. the justifies who never go to synagogue are definitely more liberal.l. that's true of all religions, bret. in the fox news poll of 2020, it showed that among those who go to church every week, donald trump won by 24 points. among those who never go to church, joe biden won by 28 points. so, the more religious you are, the more you tend to be conservative and vote republican, that is the bigger point donald trump was making. and when it comes to the israel and gaza, certainly for people who are jewish, if israel is your first concern, you tend to vote republican. if abortion is your first concern or fear of christian conservatives is your first concern, you tend to vote democrat. this is a long understanding issue. trump puts indelicately. trump is basically right on the bigger issue. >> bret: all right, last thing. we saw the fiery hearing, guy, on the house about afghanistan and the withdrawal in 2021. just in the past few minutes the state department has responded putting out a statement responding to this hearing saying the state department remains immensely proud of the work done under incredibly difficult circumstance tolls ensure the relocation of u.s. citizens, lawful permanent residents and afghans throughout the withdrawal and the period that followed. obviously they are going to say something like that. but it was a brutal hearing. >> immensely proud very similar to extraordinary success. we left thousands of americans and even more u.s. allies behind. that is nothing to be proud of. that is not a success they can put out whatever statement they want. >> bret: won't be the end of this issue and probably come up a lot on the campaign trail. panel, thanks so much. ♪ ♪ >> bret: time for tue "tuesday x-tras." larry asked who do you have winning march madness bracket. uconn, arizona, houston and purdue. and in the finals i have got purdue over uconn. that's it. that's the secret sauce. next up, marilou clark wonders how do you maintain your sense of fairness and objectivity in such divisive times? well, marilou, thank you for that. listen first and try to ask tough but fair questions to both sides. lastly, gary glowsy says i bought the same glasses as you. and i have never looked cooler. where do you get your ties? thanks, gary. it's just these glasses, i don't know i do need them to read up close. the ties most are from brooks brothers but a bunch of different ties. tomorrow on "special report" come ground segment with senators tim kaine and ted cruz on bipartisan legislation to combat illicit drugs such as thank and fentanyl. we are continuing to do that common ground bringing republicans and democrats together talking about things
