Yes. Glad youre back. We begin in florida where police are investigating a string of shootings. Investigators say one man died and three others hurt after gun fire rang out in three separate incidents in Jacksonville Beach. Can you see people running on the beach as chaos unfolded. So far no arrests have been made. Marisa parra is following the latest for us. What do we know about the shootings and the people involved . This is a terrifying thing. Reporter you can imagine how scary it was. This is a sunday day at the beach in Jacksonville Beach and then, of course, st. Patricks day celebrate didnt go the way a lot of people expected it to go. Starting with the victims, the people shot, so far no identities have been released but my understanding listening to updates from police, Jacksonville Police this morning saying one of the people who had been shot was believed to be a known gang member another person shot was an innocent bystander from out of town piecing together three separate incidents within 45 minutes from each other. One outside sneakers bar. So piecing this together one of the updates that stuck out to me, was Jacksonville Police beach said they heard, got intel about a large gathering of juveniles expected yesterday it was supposed happen around 2 00 p. M. , what they ended up seeing was 250 to 400 juveniles, talking about young teenagers gathered together fighting, boxing each other. Still trying to get a sense of the time line we reached out to police they said as they were dispering the crowds thats when the other incidents happen. Naturally a lot of concern about safety here. I want you to listen to what police said when they were asked about that. We were statistically a safe city. Our challenges for 25,000 residents, we have to Police Population much bigger than any given day of the week, the year. Statistically with that huge influx we are very safe. Reporter three people injured, one person killed and so far no arrests. Ellison, kate . Thank you. A controversial Immigration Law could take effect in texas if the Supreme Court does not effect. A state law would let Police Arrest and deport migrants. It was blocked by the lower court. The Supreme Court is weighing arguments in two high stakes cases involving the government and free speech. David noriega is in los angeles and with us is ken dilanian. Hes in washington d. C. David, lets start with you. Theres been a lot of back and forth over this texas law. What happens if the Supreme Court doesnt act . Reporter ellison, if the court doesnt act, it will be effectively allowing this law to go into effect, that will be consequential on a number of levels. On the ground in texas it means there will probably be a scramble to figure out how to actually navigate the consequences of this law in effect. Up to this Point Crossing the border illegally is a crime in federal law. This law makes it a crime under state law. It empowers state and local levels, prosecutor, judges, et cetera to arrest, prosecute and order the deportation of those expected of entering illegally. Theres a lot of confusion about what this would look like. One example they would point to is this law allows judges, compels judges to order the deportation to the people by the state of texas. But theres no infrastructure in place for state level authorities to execute deportations. Deportations are carried out by federal authorities for a lot of reasons. How would that physically be carried out . No one knows the answer and there are many other questions like that that currently have no clear answer. Let me go to you and look at the other cases before the court today. One focuses on the governments role fighting misinformation on social media platforms and the other involves the National Rifle association. Can you walk us through whats at stake in both of these. Hugely consequential the court is asked where the line is between persuasion and coercion. We have a judge that ruled the government violated the constitution when they went to youtube and social media platforms to flag harmful content and that resolution has stopped as this case works its way through the court. Majority seemed skeptical of the idea the government cannot do that at all. Many said there had to be a place for the government to come to facebook and youtube and flag disinformation particularly as an election looms. We expect a ruling on that in june, kate. Thank you, both. Vladimir putin is marking ten years since russia annexed crimea today, speaking out off his election victory. He faced virtually no opposition in his landslide victory but the election was met with various acts of protest for some people lighting fires to others pouring dye in ballot boxes. Keir simmons joins us now. You asked president putin about his opposition or lack thereof, what did he say . Reporter thats right. Actually tonight, kate, president putin is at a rally in red square celebrating his victory with russian flags waving. Youre right. I did ask about that because while there were three socalled opponents on the ballot what wasnt on the ballot was a chance to vote for anyone against president putins war in ukraine or against the jailing of journalists or opposition figures. Take a listen. Mr. President , journal evan gerk koe vits spent this election in prison. Boris who opposes your war in ukraine wasnt allowed to stand against you. And Alexei Navalny died in one of your prisons during your campaign. Mr. President , is this what you call democracy . Translator thats life. He has perished thats a sad event. We had other instances that people died in prison. Has nothing like that happened in the United States . It has happened and not just once. Reporter so president putin responding in that way but also making some news because Alexei Navalny, he told us that he had asked for Alexei Navalny to be released from prison. He agreed to that just days before Alexei Navalny died. That leads to the question why he would have died. Saying that president putin asked for Something Like that and western leaders one of the many ways in which western leaders, including his election tonight but then other countries are congratulating him. Countries you might expect like china, iran and north korea, guys. Keir, thank you so much. It is time now for todays cnbc money minute. Meta is under federal investigation.
