Inspiring america. Nightly news begins right now. Announcer from nbc news World Headquarters in new york, this is nbc nightly news with lester holt. We lead off with an nbc news exclusive and what we learned with not what, but who is the intended target of a high stakes u. S. Military raid in yemen that killed a navy s. E. A. L. U. S. Military and sources tell us the Risky MissionsMain Objective was to kill or capture the lead of al qaeda in yemen. The raid failed to get him and he is taunting President Trump. Our correspondent has details. Tonight, multiple military and intelligence officials told us the real piece of the u. S. Military operation last week in yemen. The top secret target, the man american intelligence officials designate the third most dangerous terrorist in the world, the head of al qaeda in yemen. The mission is to kill or capture him. I think it is a Successful Operation by all standards. Today we learn the gamble to capture him was not a success. He is alive in yemen according to multiple military officials who confirm that last night he took an audio recording, at what poi point taunting President Trump. The fool of the white house at the beginning of his road in your lamb. The white house declined to comment. They have been behind a variety of plots including the failed underwear bomber and considered the most dangerous in the world. It would be unfair to say this was a slap dash kind of administration. The Trump Administration is new to the security world and may be getting its feet under it, the Counter Terrorism community including the military is wellschool and welloiled in terms of launching these attacks. All of the leaders in the chain of command were in agreement that the prospect of getting him means the high Stakes Mission is worth the risk. Officials told us President Trump was told by the secretary of defense and the chairman of the joint chiefs of staff that the possibility of capturing him would be a game changer. In making their case to proceed, they told the president they doubted the Obama Administration would have been bold enough to try it. The operation was larger than any Counter Terrorism strikes since the killing of Osama Bin Laden in 2011. The navy s. E. A. L. Is William Ryan Owens who was killed during the raid when forces were faced with fierce resistance. Counter terrorism work is difficult. Its dangerous. You have to be present and you have to disrupt, especially in places like yemen. It is not yet clear how valuable the intel gathered through the computers and phones will turn out to be. It is also not clear yet whether he was at the target location that night or whether perhaps he was tipped off before the raid. From the pentagon. Lester . Thank you. Now to another major story this evening. All eyes on a federal Appeals Court in california that could rule as early as tomorrow on whether to let the Trump Administration resewn enforcement on immigration after a flurry of legal developments the past 72 hours. We will get the latest from the justice correspondent, pete williams. Its the first big legal challenge of Donald Trumps presidency in the hands of the Appeals Court after a judge ordered the government to put the trump travel restriction on hold. Two states, minnesota and washington claim it is unconstitutional and the Justice Department rushed to the Appeals Court arguing that the law gives the President Authority to control the borders. I dont think a judge can substitute his judgment for the judgment of the president on what is detrimental to the u. S. Mr. Trump said it came from a socalled judge adding later if something happens, blame him and the court system. The state said the travel restriction is harming their university, stranding students and faculty. 97 mostly High Tech Companies said it hurts their ability to recruit the worlds brightest and three former secretaries of state join the leaders in saying it will Harm National Security and discourage muslims in the u. S. From reporting potential trouble. You are going to sour the relations and potentially the trust between that community and the Law Enforcement and the cities and our National Government in washington. The legal question is who would be hurt the most . The states or the federal government by keeping it on hold . Legal experts say its an uphill climb for the government. Given that it is a brandnew executive order as recently as 10 days ago, thats a high burden to overcome. The Appeals Court was ordered to call in late tomorrow by phone so it remains on hold for at least another day. Pete, thank you. President trump paid a visit to Central Command in tampa for American Military operations and the meetings in western asia. While speaking to troops, he lashed out over Media Coverage of terror attacks and what he perceives as a lack of coverage. This after he raised eyebrows with remarks defending vladimir putin. We have details. For a president fighting fake news. Its phony stuff. Donald trump appearing to deliver his own today about terror attacks abroad. Its gotten to a point where its not being reported. In many cases the very, very Dishonest Press doesnt want to report it. Its not clear what the president is talking about. His press secretary promising a list of under cover instances, but no specifics about any attacks deliberate rately not reported. The media doesnt always cover the events to the extent that others might get covered. A protest will get blown out of the water or an attack doesnt get the same coverage. Ladies and gentlemen, the president of the United States. The claim coming during the first visit to Central Command as he faces fallout on foreign policy. His position towards vladimir putin, President Trump on fox news. Will i get along with him, i have no idea. Putin is a killer. A lot of killers. You think our country is so innocent . The backlash building. Incredulous that the president would make a Statement Like that. One can argue thats the most antiamerican statement ever made by the president of the United States. I dont think there is an equivalency between the way the russians conduct themselves and the way the United States does. Russia a growing wedge between the president and his party. The president is very into vladimir putin. No one can explain why and its dangerous because putin is working against American Interest all over the world. And lester tonight just down pennsylvania avenue, democrats are staging an all night talkathon to fight the confirmation of betsy devos as secretary of education. The final vote is midday tomorrow when mike pence is expected to make history by breaking an expected 5050 tie to install one of the administrations more controversial cabinet picks. Many families are watching the legal battle over the executive order closely. One family arrived at the u. S. After a journey from syria, the second in nine days after they were turned away. We first told you about them last week. Now nbcs Dana Gutierrez has the update on the reunion and others around the country. This is no ordinary reunion. It is the moment the family so desperately wanted. I want to say thank you to all the American People that support said us. One of the six relatives who savored u. S. Soil at jfk airport. The family in allentown, pennsylvania showed us their home that had been improved for green cards. Hours after President Trumps order, those six relatives were turned away at philadelphias airport and sent back to damascus. I was in shock. If the president were watching right now, what would you say to him . I would say why. I understand he wants to make america safe, but people need us and we need to be there for them. Since then, the Trump Administration clarified the order suspending travel from seven muslim countries that does not apply to green card holders. After the judge put the order on hold, emotional reunions from San Francisco to boston. Then there is this man, a translator for the government during the iraq war who spoke to Richard Engle after his visa was revoked. This weekend celebration in nashville. I am very, very excited.
