Fighting spring. In the middle, quite a battle is going on with significant damage to some of the structures there. Unforeign fortuna unfortunately injuries. Texas, tornado watch expanded to include portions of western mississippi. A good 430 miles across what were talking about here. Five tornadoes report to confirm touchdowns and dealing with damaging winds. You dont have to have the wind spinning to cause damage. Large hail, baseballsized hail. How strong the updrafts to maintain the hail up in the atmosphere have been here and why weve had the kind of weather so far the last several hours. More to come. The next two hours, louisiana, your turn fourunfortunately for peak where the bullseye is. And alabama, eventually into georgia. Right now the focus across this area again, for what weve already seen. Lets put this into motion. Now, 6 00 p. M. To 9 00 p. M. Everything moves from louisiana heading up into mississippi as well as jackson and eventually heading into alabama. By the time that happens i think the storms will take more of a  linear path, straightline wind damage and quite a night here as we continue to track what is day two now of severe weather. Another round coming up tomorrow. First things first, get through this one. Nowhere near done. Ana . Ivan cabrera. Well check back. Keep us posted on injuries and more damage as we get that information. And two new fronts in President Trumps border battle. One is true the other he claims is not. Senior Administration Officials tell cnn the president offered customs and border protections commissioner Kevin Mcaleenan a pardon if jailed for ordering agents to stop Asylum Seekers from entering the u. S. That order would have broken the law. Sources tell jake tapper the offer was made eight days ago during the same border trip will mcaleenan joined the president and Homeland Security secretary Kirstjen Nielsen. Mcaleenan is now head of dhs. Last night the president on trittrit twider denied aching a pardon. Yesterday said hes strongly looking at dumping socalled immigrants in xaud sanctuary cities around the u. S. Bringing in correspondent for Bloomberg News margaret tullith and civil rights attorney. Heres the president yesterday points out one of his likely sanctuary city targets. California certainly is always saying, oh, we want more people, and they want more people in their sanctuary cities. Well give them more people. We can give them a lot. An unlimited supply. See if theyre so happy. Margaret, if the president believes these are dangerous people, if he thinks there is a National Emergency at the border, why does he want to put immigrants in city where is it would be harder to deport them . Ana, actually thats what a lot of democrats are asking the president right now. Of course, it should come as no surprise he singled out california in part because of House Speaker nancy pelosi, in part because california is a democratic state. The president always seems to forget that kevin mccarthy, Top Republican in congress is also from california. But it is sort of mixed messaging, because, in fact, what makes you a sanctuary city is when you say im not going to kind of aggressively cooperate with federal authorities if i dont have to do kind of oust People Living here without documentation, and so on the one hand the president is saying, they shouldnt be allowed to do that and on the other hand saying, ill take people and bus them to your city. Thats sort of thats one kind of point thats in conflict. Another is just the kind of entire legal predicate for doing this. What his own folks in the administration advised him, that agencies are not supposed to do things for political reasons. They are supposed to do things for policy purposes, and when the president is out saying this would be political retribution it makes it very hard toclaim there was a divein policy reason for doing it. How do you see it . Another example of the president using the border to score political points instead of treating his as a true National Emergency he declares it to be . Yes. Not just using the border, ana, but using individuals. Were talking about human beings here. Not talking about objects or inanimate objects. Talking real people and their lives and have seen the president s policy with respect to people crossing the border. Separating mothers from their children, and this is yet another inhumane policy to suggest that were not going to grant asylum hearing, not going to follow United States law as well as International Law with respect to people trying to legally enter the country, but rather were going to take these very same people who the president says are dangerous people. Remember, the president says shes are murderers, drug dealers, rapists. To say he wants to take these people described as dangerous by him and put them into cities and states where hes not popular, particularly like the state of california, its really astonishing, its shameful in many ways, and im glad to hear at least that some people in his administration were pushing back and at least advising him this was not just illegal but immoral. One person who has been, i guess you could say fanning the flames, maybe playing to the president s worst instincts when it comes to antiimmigrant stance sort of is white house Senior Adviser Stephen Miller who lobbied tore this sanctuary plan. Angry dhs lawyers wouldnt produce documents to back it. The president downplayed millers influence. Watch. Stephen san excellent guy, a wonderful person. People dont know him. Hes been with me from the beginning. Hes a brilliant man, and frankly theres only one person thats running it. You know who that is . Its me. Margaret, President Trump says dont look further than him when it comes to his immigration policy, but what about the democrats who control half of congress . Well, they do control the Purse Strings at least until the Supreme Court says otherwise. So you have naturally what is teeing up to be another court fault ultimately. I think with some of the two most recent moves were talking about, both whether he did or didnt instruct the now interim director of dhs and his plan for sanctuary cities, what this does is fill in a little more context Kirstjen Nielsen ouster from her role at dhs and to the president s desire in consultation with Stephen Miller to be more aggressive on those border poses and let the courts decide whether theyre legal or not. Thats now were understanding a little bit more of the granularity of how he has been proposing doing this and how he may be pushing on top existing staff like the general counsel or dhs who resisted, the head of dhs now out and the interim now, pushing om then to push the limits of the law. And would sanctuary cities have any standing to sue and would their legal position be weakened by their refusal to work with agencies like i. C. E. . I think you see attorney generals around the country particularly those in states like california and texas definitely going into courts asking the courts to prohibit the president from implementing this policy. Ana i dont even know if we get there. What we see on trump on a daily basis, bold and broad pronounce munts such as im going to build a wall. Im going to shut down the borders and now this pronouncement about putting these immigrants into sanctuary cities. And none of which weve seen come to fruition. So i think attorney generals will be prepared to go to court to fight this policy if it were to move forward but i think its another opportunity for trump to rally his base, throw red meat to his base and i dont see it having a lot of substance behind it. Ladies, turn to another controversy. This one involving minnesota congresswoman ilhan omar. The president is condemned by democrats from congress to the campaign trail for a chilling video he tweeted. It shows clips from some of the most horrific moments of the 9 11 attacks alongside comments omar made that some considered dismissive of the attack. Heres what the congresswoman said about 9 11 in its full context. Far too long we have lived with the discomfort of being a secondclass citizen. And frankly im tired of it, at every single muslim in this country should be tired of it. C. A. R. E. Was founded after 9 11 because they recognized that some people did something and all of us were starting to lose access to our civil liberties. Margaret, some lawmakers are accusing the president of putting omars life in danger with the video he tweeted out. Any sign from the white house of regret . No. But that, that video, what youre talking about, is something we have not seen past president s do when going after political targets in the opposing party. Not even the last two president s and there used to be an expression, politics stops at the waters edge. That expression is off to the side lately. But 9 11 is one of those sacrosanct times that did bring the country politically together in terms of fighting terrorism and what the president did with juxtaposing images, a wedge to turn democrats against one another and give him advantage heading into the 2020 election season. We dont yet know how that plays with the middle of america, sort of more centrist voters, but it is certainly al provocative act, and he knew what he was doing and did it anyway. The congresswoman responded with her own tweet, no one person no matter how corrupt or inept can waiver my love for america. Happiness for all americans. Youre a civil rights leader. Are omars remarks threatened . Im concerned about this tweet on a bunch of Different Levels pap junior congresswoman, minority woman, stated very publicly she has faced Death Threats and fears there is legitimate claims being made of people who want to do harm to her, who want to harm her physically, and we have this imbalance of power. The president using his bully pulpit with all of his power basically coming after this young woman, because, and i dont believe she was trying to dismiss the significance or the importance of 9 11. She loves this country. She recognizes the importance of that. She was merely making the statement the acts done by 19 muslims should not be the cause of the 1. 6 billion muslims throughout the world to suffer any forms of discrimination or any forms of physical attacks. Im really proud of some of the democrats that came forward, the president ial, some of the candidates, alc and others in congress to stepped forward to condemn the president , called out other democrats as women as republican whose have not stood in solidarity with her. These threats are not just meanspirited theyre dangerous. We should see more people calling out the president for this kind of conduct, because it does put this young woman at risk.

Booker is looking to pick up momentum during his twoweek National Tour where hell hit several states including iowa, georgia and nevada. Wi within the hour president ial hopeful Bernie Sanders is set to hold a town hall facing questions about his newfound wealth. Sanders is on a swing through the rust belt hitting the states that once formed a democratic blue wall, but that wall crumbled in 2016 when michigan and other rust belt states rejected Hillary Clinton and voted for donald trump. Cnns ryan nobles joins us from michigan where sanders will speak soon. Ryan, sanders has yet to release his taxes, thats coming but already on the defensive about what he may reveal. What is he saying today . Reporter yeah, ana. No doubt when Bernie Sanders is asked about his newfound wealth hes expected to reveal hes now a millionaire because of book sales. Written a number of books about his Political Revolution and reaped in significant royaltiess havent seen his taxes yet he has admitted hes part of this millionaire class hes railed against for the bulk of his political career. Its clear sanders doesnt like talking about this and believes the millions hes earned is different than the corporations and the big ceos hes railed against. This is how he explained it at an earlier Campaign Stop today. I dont think so. I didnt know it was a crime to write a good book. Which turned out to be a bestseller. And my view has always been that we need a progressive tax system, which demands that the wealthiest people in this country finally start paying their fair share of taxes, and if i make a lot of money, that is what i believe. So i dont apologize for writing a book that was number three on the netanyain the new york tim bestseller translated into five or six languages. Thats that. By the way by the way this bothers me a little bit. Maybe we might want to talk about gary, indiana. Maybe we might want to talk about poverty. Maybe we might want to talk about newfound wealth. So you can hear there senator sanders clearly doesnt enjoy talking about this, but part of the reason the questions keep coming up is because hes delayed releasing his taxes. This was a promise he made shortly after he announced his campaign for president and keep in mind hes also really hammered President Trump for not releasing his taxes during the 2016 campaign. Now, ana, were told those tax returns could come very soon, within the next couple days. Hes pointed to april 15th, tax day, being his target to release them and thats where well get the answers to some of these questions. Ana . All right, from warren, michigan. More upon the newfound millionaire status of Bernie Sanders heres cnns drew griffin. Reporter ana, the question, will Bernie Sanders stop talking about the 1 now that hes part of the 1 . He is famously one of the poorest men in the senate, a lifelong politician who talks about his hard scramble brooklynborn life as one of the people. The 9 Bernie Sanders repeatedly says has been left out of the american dream. Creating an economy and a government that works for all, not just the 1 . Reporter it is a message that has driven his campaign for years now, and that campaigning may have created an awkward problem for sanders. Because hes now part of the 1 . Be interesting to see if senator sanders changes his message now that hes a millionaire and is part of the 1 . Perhaps he can talk about himself as someone in the 1 who still cares about the 99 . Reporter his congressional salary went from 125,000 a year in 1991 to current 174,000 as a u. S. Senator. But since 2016, sanders income skyrocketed, making more than a Million Dollar as year, mostly from selling books. In 2016, our revolution and other royalties brought in 861,000 for sanders.
