american mr. tom perez. former labor secretary tom perez, who got the most votes from delegates gathered this weekend in atlanta. the press immediately named the man who trailed him not far in votes, congressman keith ellison as his deputy chairman. because we were always united in our values. and we ll always continue to be united in our values. and we are united in our love for the democratic party. our love for the diversity of the democratic party. our love for the robust discussions that occur in the democratic party. and this just a few minutes ago, a tweet from president trump. he writes congratulations to thomas perez, who has just been named chairman of the dnc, i could not be happier for him or for the republican party. cnn s ryan noebls is in atlanta where the dnc delegates are
the fourth estate, it s covered and protected. the press is. in the constitution. this whole war against the media borders on the nonsensical and it s really got to stop. what are we going to do? we re going to continue to cover him anyway. if cnn isn t goinger in. unless you have a media-out day and not cover him at all. that s not going to happen. what s going to be interesting is with the white house correspondents dinner, what happens there. what entertainers come. what other politicians come? what they do as an alternative to the centerpiece for that event, with the absence of donald trump. we ll have to closely watch and see what happens. it s going to be entertaining, no matter what. maybe they ll have snl come and do a skit instead of donald trump being there. but sarah westwood, white house correspondent for the washington examiner, maybe we ll find this out shortly. because jeff mason from reuters, the head of the white house correspondents association is about to co
appearance at cpac to tout his crackdown on undocumented immigrants, let s listen. as we speak today, immigration officers are finding the gang members, the drug dealers, and the criminal aliens and throwing them the hell out of our country. and we will not let them back in. they re not coming back in, folks. it is just the latest comment from the president to make the immigrant community fearful and that s actually driving some to build an underground network of safe houses to hide the undocumented. cnn s kyung lah taking a look inside. pounding, sanding, laying the groundwork at this secret home in los angeles. how many families would be it would be about three families that we can host here. this pastor walks us through one safe house for the undocumented, running from
