CONGRESS IS STILL SEARCHING FOR AN OVERALL SOLUTION. AND PRESIDENT TRUMP IS STI TALKING TOUGH. WHITE HOUSE CORRESPONDENT YAMICHE ALCINDOR BEGINS OUR COVERAGE.

>> THESE ARE THE AMERI CITIZENS PERMANENTLY SEPARATED FROM THEIR LOVED ONES.

>> Rorter: THE PRESIDENT SOUGHT TODAY TO SHIFT THE FOCUS FROM FAMILIES SEPARATED AT THE BORDER TO THE FAMILIES OF PEOPLE KILL BY THOSE IN THE COUNTRY ILLEGALLY. TH THEY'RE NOT SEPARATED FOR DAYS OR TWO DAYS ARE PERMANENTLY SEPARATED. BECAUSE THEY WERE KILLED BY A CRIMINAL ILLEGENS.

>> Reporter: AS HE HAS BEFORE, HE ALSO FALSELY LINKED THE LARGER MIGRANT CMUNITY TO THOSE WHO COMMIT CRIMES.

>> YOU HEAR IT'S LIKE BETTER PEOPLE THAN OU'SOWN CITIZENS OT TRUE.

>> Reporter: THE WHITE HOUSE EVENT FOLLOWED FIERCE CRITICM OF THE PRESIDENT'S ZERO TOLERANCE POLICY. IT'S CONTINUED EVEN AFTER HE ORDERED A HALT TO SEPARATING CHILDREN FROM THEIR PARENTS, MORE THAN 2,300 SINCE EAY MAY. ACCORDING TO THE ASSOCIATED PRESS, 500 OF THE SEPARATED CHILDREN HAVE SINCE BEEN REUNITED WITH A FAMILY MEMBER. BUT ADVOCATES FOR THE OTHERS SAY THEY'RE DESPERATELY TRYING TO FIND CHILDREN WHO'VE BEEN RE- LOCATED TO SHELTERS AND FOSTER ARRE ACROSS THE COUNTRY. FEDERAL OFFICIALSAID TO BE ORGANIZING A CENTRALIZED REUNIFICATION PROCESS IN SOUTH TEXAS. OTHER REPORTS SAY THE PENTAGON IS PREPARING TO SHELTER UP TO 20,000 CHILDREN-- AND POSSIBLY PARENTS-AT MILITARY BASES IN TEXAS AND ARKANSAS. BUT AT THE BORDER IN McALLEN, TEXA-- TODAY EFRÉN OLIVAR LAWYER FOR THE TEXAS CIVIL RIGHTS PROJECT-- SAID PARENTS HAVE BEEN CALLING HIM, FRANTIC TO FIND THEIR CHILDREN.

>> IT'S THE SAME QUESTIONS-- "WHEN AM I GOING TO SEE MY CHILD AGAIN?"

>> Reporter: OLIVARES SAYS THE GOVERNMENT SEPARATED THE FAMILIES WITH NO PLAN FOTHHOW TO REUNIT LATER.

>> SO THE CHILDRENND UP AT A SHELTER WITH THE OFFICE OF REFUGEE SETTLEMENT. THE PARENTS ARE VERY LIKELY AT AN ICE DETENTION FAC THOSE ARE TWO SEPARATE SYSTEMS NOT DESIGNED TO COMMUNICATE WITH O CH OTHER SO WE'RE HAVING ON THE FLY, TRYING TO LOCATE THE PARENTS, TRYING TO LOCATE THE CHILDR THE FIRST STEP TO GET

>> Reporter: MEANWHILE, THERE'S WORD THE U.S. ATTORNEY'S OFFICE IN SOUTH TEXAS IS SMISSING CASES AGAINST PARENTS WHO WERE CHARGED WITH ILLEGALLY ENTERING THE COUNTRY AND WERE THEN SEPARATED FROM THEIR CHILDREN. AT THE SAME TIME, U.S. CUSTOMS AND BORDER PROTECTION HAS SAID IT WILL CONTINUE TO REFER ADULTS WHO CROSS THE BORDER ILLEGALLY, FOR PROSECUTION. ACROSS THE COUNTRY TODAY, DEMOCRATS, INCDING ILLINOIS URGED PRESIDENT TRUMP TODAY TO RESCIND THE ZERO TOLERANCE POLICY. I CALL IT A ZERO HUMANITY POLICY.

>> Reporter: AND ON THE FLOOR OF THE HOUSE, DEMOCRAT TED LIEU OF CALIFORNIA PLAYED A RECORDING OBTAINED BY "PROPUBLICA." IN IT CHILDREN ARE HEARD CRYINGA AFTER BEING SED FROM THEIR PARENTS. DESTANDOFF QUICKLY ENSUED WITH REPUBLICAN KAREN HOF GEORGIA. LIALL OF THIS COMES AS REPNS HAVE PUSHED OFF A VOTE ON A COMPROMISE IMMIGRATION BILL UNTIL NEXT WEEK. BUT THIS MORNING, ON TWITTER, THE PRESIDENT TOLD REPUBLICANS TO: "STOP WASTING TIME ON IMMIGRATION UNTIL AFTER WE ELEAN MORE SENATORCONGRESSMEN AND WOMEN IN [THE] NOVEMBER [MIDTERMS]." HE WENT ON TO SAY: "WE CANNOT ALLOW OUR COUNTRY TO BE OVERRUN HEBY ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS AS DEMOCRATS TELL THEIR PHONY STORIES OF SADNESS AND GRIEF." THAT'S LIKELY TO MAKE IT HARDER FOR G.O.P. LEADERS TO WIN THE VOTES THEY NEED. THE BILL WAS ALREADY FACING TOUGH OPPOSITION FROM THOSE LIKE REPRESENTAVE LOU BARLETTA OF NEW JERSEY.

>> PEOPLE ARE TAKING ADVANTAGE, EVERY TIME YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT A PATHWAY TO CITIZSHIP OR ALLOWING PEOPLE TO COME YOU KNOW WHAT HAPPENS MORE PEOPLE COME IN. AND WE ARE LETTING THIS

>> Reporter: BUT A FELLOW IMMIGRATION HARDLINER, REPRESENTATIVE BOB GOODLATTE -- SAYS CONGRESS IS UNDETERRED BY THE PRESIDT'S TWEETS TODAY. HE SAYS LAWMAKERS WILL KEEP WORKING ON A SOLUTION.

>> Yang: YAMHE AND OUR CAPITOL HILL CORRESPONDENT LISA DESJARDINS ARE HERE TO TALKIM ABOUT WHERGRATION POLICY IS HEADED. YAMICHE, LET ME START WITH YOU. HAVE WE GOTTEN ANY MORE CLARITY TODAY ABOUT HOW THIS EXECUTIVE ORDER IS GOING TO BE CARRIED OUT, HOW THESE FAMILIES ARE GOING TO BE REUNITED?

>> WELL, FEDERAL AGENCIES ANDMI ES THAT ARE TRYING TO BE REUNITED ARE FACING A LABTHYR OF GOVERNMENT BEAU ROCK SIVMENT THERE'S NO CLEAR CUT WAY THE FAMILIES WILL BE REUNITED. I WAS ASKING FROM THE WHITE HOUSE TO THE HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES IN CHARGE OF REUNITE AGO LOT OF THESE FAMILIES, THEY SAY THEY DON'T KNOW. IT TOOK A WHILE TO GET THESW S TODAY. MOST WANTED TO BE RADIO SILENT ON IT. WE KNOW, IN SOSME CAES WHERE THERE ARE GROUPS WORKING WITH THE FAMILIES SEPARATED IN THEPR PAST BEFORESIDENT TRUMP BECAME VOCAL ABOUT IT, IT TAKES TWO MONTHS ABO TO FROM THE TIME YOU LOCATE THE CHILD TO PUT THE CHILD BACK IN THE HOME BECAUSE THEY'RE ASSWHESSING HER THE HOME IS SAFE AND THE CHILD IS HEALTHY. I KNOW ONE CASE WHERE TWO YOUNG BOYS EOW WHERE TH MOTHER IS, IT'S BEEN EIGHT MONTHS, THEY'RE STILL IN FOSTER CARE. THEY SAY THERE IS COMPLICATIONS IN THEIR CASE. THE KIDS TALK TO THEIR MOTHERAN BUT LIVE WITH HER. WE'RE LOOKING AT A CASE WHERE THE FERAL GOVERNMENT IS IN CHAOS AND THERE ARE NO CLEAR-CUT ANSWERS.

>> JNG>> Yang: A GOVERNMENT IN CHAOS. WE HEAR THE PENTAGON IS BEING ASKED TO HOUSE THE FAMILIES AND THEIR LAWYERS ARE BEING ASKED TO PROSECUTE THE CASES.

>> YES, WE HAVE INFOATION THAT THE SECRETARY OF DEFENSE HAS APPROVED SENDING 21 ATTORNEYSAR FAMIITH CRIMINAL PROSECUTION TO HELP WITH THESE BORDER CSES. THE POINT IS INTERESTING IN THEIR RESPONSE TO THEM TO SAY THEY WILL HELP WITH THE MISDPIERN AND FENNEL WITH CHARGES, THAT'S BECAUSE IT'S NOT REALLY CLEAR WHATHE POLICY IS NOW, WHICH WAY THESE CASES ARE GOING TO GO.

>> Yang: AND AS THIS PLAYS OUT, WILL THE VOTE GET THE HILL ANY LOSER TO THE VOTES THEY NEED?

>> THE REPUBLICAN LE BERSHIP HOPES T I CAN TELL YOU FROM MY MANY CONVERSATIONS TODAY, NOE I DON'T THINK THE PRESIDENT HELPED THINGS BY SAYING PERHAPS WE'LL JUST BLOW THE WHOLE THIUNG OFTIL AFTER NOVEMBER ELECTIONS. WE'LL SEE. THIS WEEKEND BE TE US A LOT. WHAT'S HAPPENING MORE VIGOROUSLY NOW IN CONGRESS, TWO THINGS, A SERIES OF LETTERS GOING OUT TO HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES FROM MOCRATS PUTTING THEM OUT PUBLICLY, REPUBLICANS NOT, ASKING WHAT'S GOING ON. MANY OF TE SENATORS,SKING WHAT'S GOING ON IN THEIR STATES. ALSO HAPPENING TODAY, WE'RE SEE AGO LOT OF REPUBLICAN REPUBLICAD DEMOCRATS GO TO THE FACILITIES. WE'LL SEE MANY IN THE WEEKEND PROTESTEST FROM THESE MEMBERS. ALL OF THIS LEADING UP TO WHAT MAY BEHE ONLY ACTN WE SEE NEXT WEEK, OR NOT, THAT IMMIGRATION VOTE. D THERE'S TE SET FOR THAT. BUT IT'S IMPORTANT TO SORT OF REMIND VIEWERS WHAT EXACTLY IS INVOLVED IN THAT BILL.E THE THE FOUR PILLARS THE PRESIDENT SAID HE WANTED. TO REMIND PEOPLE AT THE TOP OF THE LIST IS THE IDEA OF A STATUS FOR DREAMERS, THOSE PEOPLE BRGHT HERE AS CHILDREN ILLEGALLY, MONEY FOR THE BORDER WALL, LIMIT TO EXTENDED FAMILY MIGRATION AND END TO THE VISA LOTTERY, ADDING TO THAT DEALING WITH THE CHILD SEPARATION ISSUE, IN THIS BILL, JOHN, THAT MAY COME FOR A VOTE OR NOTEXT WEEK IS IMPORTANT MONEY, $7 BILLION TO TRY AND HOUSE THESE KIDS. IF THIS BILL DOESN'T PASS, THEIR FATE IS NOT CLEAR, NOR IS IT CLEAR WHETHER RESOURCES WILL COME TO HOUSE THEM.

>> YAMICHE, THESE ARE PILLARS, THE PRIS THE PRESIDENT LAID OUT EARLIER. HAS THERE BEEN A CLEAR GUIDANCE FROM THE WHITE HOUSE WHAT THE PRESIDENT WILL ACCEPT, WHAT HE WAN OUT OF A BILL, WHAT HE WILL SIGN?

>> I JUST GOT OFF THE PHONE WITH THE WHITE HOUSE WHO TOLD ME THE PRESIDENT WOULD SUPPORT WHATEVER BILL THE REPUBLICANS PASSED, IF THERE'S A BILL THAT CAN BE PASSED IN THE HOUSE. THE PROBLEM IS THAT HE'S TWEETING HIS FRUSTRATIONS BECAUSE HE DOESN'T BELIEVE ANY BILL CAN PASS THE SENATE. HE'S FRUSTRATED WITH THE REPUBLICAN MAJORITY IN THE SENATE. THEY WANT A BILL THAT DEALS WITH FEDERAL COURT RESTRICTION THAT RESTRICTS HOW CHILDREN CAN BE TAINED, IF IT DOESN'TASS. IT'S SAYING KIDS REALLY NEED TO BE DETAINED IN VERY HUMANE CIRCUMSTANCES. THE PRESIDENT WANTS A LAW THAT WOULD CHANGE THAT. TODAY WAS ALSO IMPORTANT BECAUSE THE PRESIDENT WENT OUT AND WENT BACK TO HIS BASE, WENT BACK TO HIS ROOTS OF CRIMINALIZING IMMIGRANTS. HE HAD AN EVENT AT THE WHITE HOUSE WHERE HAD THESE FAMILY MEMBERS HO HAD LOST LOVED ONES KILLED BY UNDOCUMENTED H IMMIGRANTS AWAS PITTING THE QUESTION, ARE YOU ON THE SIDE OF THE FAMILIES HE SAID IS PERMANENTLY SEPARATED FROM THE KIDS, OR ON THE SIDE OF THE KIDS WHO ARE CAGED WHOMAY BE TEMPORARILY SEPARATED. TODAY WAS HII TAKING A BSTEP FORWARD AND SAYING ARE YOU WITH THESE AMERICAN FAMILIES OR IMMIGRANT FAMILIES. IT'S A QUESTION THAT'S UNANSWERABLE FOR MOST PEOPLE.

>> Yang: YAMICHE ALCINDOR, LISA DESJARDINS, THANK YOU VERY MUCH. IN THE DAY'S OTHER NEWS: MORE THAN 200 MIGRANTS WAITED ON BOARD A RESCUE SHIP IN THE MEDITERRANEAN,OPING FOR A PLACE TO DOCK. E ALY REFUSED TO ACCEPT THE VESSEL YESTERDAY, COND TIME THAT'S HAPPENED THIS MONTH. INSTEAD, ITALY INSISTED MALTA ACCEPT THE SHIP. SEPARATELY, THE UNITED NATIONS REPORTS SOME 220 MIGRANTS DROWNED OFF THE COAST OF LIBYA THIS WEEK. THE EUROPEAN UNION BEGAN ENFORCING TARIFFS TODAY ON $3.4 BILLION OF U.S. GOODS-- FROM BOURBON TO MOTORCYCLES. IT'S RETALIATION FOR U.S. TARIFFS ON IMPORTED STEEL AND ALUMINUM. IN TURN, PRESIDENT TRUMP DEMANDED THE E.U. REMOVE ITS TARIFFS AND TRADE BARRIERS.OT RWISE, HE WARNED "WE WILL BE PLACING A 20% TARIFF ON ALL OF THEIR CARS COMING INTO THE U.S TALKS TO END SOUTH SUDAN'S FIVE-YEAR CIVIL WAR HAVE FALTERED, AFTER PRESIDENT SALVA KIIR REJECTED WORKING WITH THE OPPOSITION LEADER. THE PRESIDENT AND FORMER VICE T PRESIDENT RIEK MACHAR ME ETHOPIA THIS WEEK FOR THEIR FIRST TALKS SINCE 2016.PO BUT KIIR'SSMAN SAID TODAY THAT MACHAR CAN'T BE TRUSTED BECAUSE HE ONCE ATTEMPTED A. CO

>> THIS IS WHY WE ARE SAYING AS THE PEOPLE OF SOUTH SUDAN, NOT THE PRESIDENT ALONE, BUT AS THE PEOPLE OF SOUTH SUDAN, WE ARE SAYING ENOUGH IS ENOUGH D IF HE WANTS TO BE THE PRESIDENT, HE SHOULD WAIT FOR ELECTIONS.

>> Yang: OFFICIALS SAID THERE MAY BE ADDITIONAL TALKS NEXT WEEK. SOUTH SUDAN'S CIVIL WAR HAS LE THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE DEAD AND DISPLACED MILLIONS. BACK IN THIS COUNTRY: THE SUPREME COURT RULED TODAY THAT POLICE GENERALLY NEED A SEARCH WARRANT TO TRACK A SUSPECT'S MOVEMENT THROUGH CELLPHONE RECORDS. THE 5-TO-4 DECISION WAS A LIMITED VICTORY FOR PRIVACY ADVOCATES. THE MAJORITY SAID IT DOES NOT APPLY TO OTHER KINDS OF RECORDS. WE'LL GET THE DETAILS, LATER IN THE PROGRAM. THE POLICE KILLING OF A BLACK TEENAGER HAS ROILED EAST PITTSBURGH, PENNSYLVANIA. EVER SINCE ANTWON ROSE WAS SHOT TUESDAY NIGHT THERE'VE BEEN PROTESTS, AND LAST NIGHT, DEMONSTRATORS SHUT DOWN A HIGHWA THEY DISPERSED, PEACEABLY, HOURS N TER. POLICE SAY ROSE OM A CAR THAT WAS WANTED IN AN EARLIER SHOOTING.Y THEY SAY TUND TWO GUNS IN THE CAR AND AN EMPTY CLIP IN HIS POCKET. S THE FAMIS NONE OF THAT JUSTIFIES KILLING THE TEEN.EE AND, ON WALL S BLUE CHIPS RALLIED AFTER OPEC BOOSTED OIL PRODUCTION BY LESS THAN EXPECTED. THAT SENT OIL PRICES-- AND ENERGY STOCKS-- HIGHER. THE DOW JONES INDUSTRIAL AVERAGE GAINED 119 POINTS TO CLOSE AT 24,580.TH NASDAQ FELL 20 POINTS, AND THE S&P 500 ADDED 5. STILL TO COME ON THE NEWSHOUR: WILL MIGRANT CHILDREN BE REUNITED WITH THEIR FAMILIES? THE SUPREME COURT RULES WHETHER THE GOVERNMENT CAN TRACK YOU THROUGH YOUR PHONE. SAUDI ARABIA PREPARES TO LIFT ITS BAN ON WOMEN DRIVERS, AND MUCH MORE.

>> Yang: WE RETURN TO IMMIGRATION AND THE COMPLICATED PROCESS OF REUNITING CHILDREN AND PARENTS WHO HAVE BEEN FORCIBLY SEPARATED AT THE BORDER.ND YOUNG IS THE PRESIDENT OF KIDS IN NEED OF DEFENSE, WHICH PROVIDES LEGAL SERVICES TOUN COMPANIED AND SEPARATED MIGRANT CHILDREN. AND OUR OWN AMNA NAWAZ HAS JUST RETURNED FROM A WEEK REPORTING ON THE SOUTHWESTERN BORDER. AMNA, WELCO BACK. WELCOME TO BOTH OF YOU, WENDY YOUNG. AMNA, TERRIFIC REPORTING ON THE BORDER AND WORK WITH FR CARLSEN. FROM THE CONTACT YOU'VE MADE, YOU'VE GOTTEN ANECDOTAL EVIDENCE THAT SEPARATIONS ARE CONTINUING?

>> THAT'S RIGHT. THE BEST WAY TO EXPLAIN, THIS IS STILL A SITUATION IN CHAOS. A WOMAN WE PROFILED A COUPLE OF DAYS AGO, A GRANDMOTH AND HER GRANDDAUGHTER, A 3-YEAR-OLDGI , SOPHIE, WHO TURNED 4 YESTERDAY, ACTUALLY, THEYCR SED LEGALLY PENCE MORNING, MADE THE CROSSING AT THE EL PASO BRIDGE. SHE IS NOW SEEKING ASYLUM. THE WHOLE FAMY WAS FLEING CARTEL VIOLENCE IN MEXICO. WE GOT WORD JUST A LITTLE WHILE AGO FROM THE GRANDMOTHER WHO HAS BEEN RELEASED FRM GOVERNMENT CUSTODY THAT THE GIRL HAS BEE TAKEN FROM HER THIS MORNING. THEY SAID BECAUSE YOU ARE NOT HER MOTHER, WE ARE TAKING THE GIRL INTO CUSTODY. WE WILL CONTACT THE MOTHER. SHE CLARIFIED THE GIRL'S BIRTH MOTHER IS IN THE UNITED STATES, AN ASYLUM CASE PENDING. SHE HASN'T EN RASING THE DAUGHTER BUT ANOTHER BABY SHE CROSSEGWITH A WHILEO. THE MOTHER SAID SHE GOT A CALL HER DAUGHTER WAS GOING INTO GOVERNMENT CUSTODY, THAT SHE WOULDN'T HEAR ANYTHING ABOUT THE CHILD FOR THE NEXT FIVE DAYVE SHE WAS A CASE NUMBER AND A GENERAL NUMBER TO CALL. THAT'S WHERE THESE FAMILIES ARE RIGHT NOW.

>> Yang: WENDY, HOW COMMON AND UNCOMMON IS WHAT AMNA TOLD US NOW.

>> WHAT WE'RE SEEING IS A VERY SYSTEMATIC POLICY OF TRYING TO DO THIS IN 100% OF THE CASES IN. THE EXECUTIVE ORDER ISSUED YESTERDAY, THEY SAID THEY WERE GOING TO PRESENT THIS, BUT ASR YOU E REPORTING, WE SUSPECT IT WILL CONTINUE ONWARWH THEY ARE DOING IS TRYING TO PUNISH THESE FAMILIES FOR COMING TO THE BORDER, TO DOTHING BUT WHAT IS THEIR LEGAL RIGHT WHICH IS TO SEEK ASYLUM. AND THEY'RE ALSO TRYING TO DETER OTHER FAMILIES WHO MAY BE THINKING MAKING THE VOYAGE TO THE UNITED STATES FROM COMING.

>> Yang: TLL US ABUT THE DIFFICULTIES IN LOCATING -- PARENTS LOCATING THEIR CHILDREN, CHILDREN LOCATING THEIR PARENTS AND COMMUNICATING.

>> DIFFICULTY IS AN UNDERSTATEMENT. IT'S NEARLY IMPORTANT.T WE'RE ST TALKING ABOUT PARENTS CAUGHT UP IN ONE PART OF THE SYSTEM. IF THEY'RE CRIMINALLED PROSECIT'S A SEPARATE AGENCY, BUT IF THEY'RE JUST DETAINED AND MOV TO CIVIL PROCEEDINGS, IT'S A SEPARATE PART, WHILE CHILDREN ARE HANDLED UNDER AN ENTIRELY DIFFERENT AGENCY AND INSTITUTION. IT'S THE LAWYERS, THE EXPERTS IN NAVIGATING THE GOVERNMENT SYSTEM. THERE IS PAGE AFTER PAGE OF CONTACT PEOPLE JUST TRYING TO FIGURE OUT WHERE IS THE CHILD OF MY CLIENT. THEY MIGHT HAVE A MEDICAL NEED. ARE THEY GETTING THEIR MEDICATION? THEY'VE GONE THROUGH PSYCHOLOGICAL AND MOTIONALY TRAUMA, ARE THTTING ANY SUPPORT FOR THAT? THAT'S THE FRUSTRATION. I THEY HAVE EA WHERE THE KIDS ARE, NEARLY IMPOSSIBLE TOAN LOCATEPARENTS ARE BEING DEPORTED BEFORE THEY'VE EVER MADE CONTACT WITH THEIR KIDS.

>> IS THAT COMMON, WENDY, IN YOUR EXPERIENCE?

>> NOT AT ALL. THIS WAS A POLICY IMPLEMENTED WITH NO THHT GIVEN OF HOW TO REUNITE FAMILIESTAND ALLOW THEM MUTO COMCATE WHILE IN DETENTION. TO THE POINT YOU ARE MAKING, THOSE IN THE NONPROFIT SECTOR ARE SCRAMBLING WITH THE LITTLE INFOOATION WE HAVE AT HAND TRY TO MAKE THE CONNECTIONS HAPPEN. THE GOVERNMENT REALLY SHOULD HAVE BEEN THE ONE DOING THIS FROM THE VEY BEGINNING. THAT SHOULD HAVE BEEN A BARE MINIMUM STANDARD IF THEY WE GOING TO SEPARATE THESE FAMILIES AFTER ARRIVAL AT THE BORDER.

>> SO WHEN THEY SEPARATED THEM, THERE WAS NO THOUGHT OF HOW TO REUNIFY THEM OR BRING THEM BACK TOGETHER?

>> ABSOLUTELY NONE. YOU HAVE VARIOUS FEDERAL AGENCIES INVOLVED. YOU NOW HAVE THE FAMILY MEMBERS ON SEPARATE LEGAL TRACKS WITH DIFFERENT CASES. IT IS EXTRALTDINARILY DIFFI TO TRY TO FIGURE OUT WHAT'S GOING ON AND TO BRING THE FAMILIES BK WHICH IS WHATHEY WANT MORE THAN ANYTHING.

>> Yang: WENDY, EXPLAIN THAT, SEPARATE LEGAL TRACKS. THE CHILDREN AND PARENT ARE ON SEPARATE LEGAL TRAS?E

>> YES, RENT IS BEING PROSECUTED FOR ILLEGAL ENTRY EVEN THOUGH THEY'VE EXERCISED EEEIR LEGAL RIGHT TO SK ASYLUM, THEN WILL BE PLACED INTO DEPORTATION PROPACEEDINGS TELY FROM THE CHILDREN, BECAUSE THE CHILDREN HAVE BEEN REDESIGNATED AS BEING UNACCOMPANIED, EVEN THOUGH THEY ARRIVED TOGETHER WITH A FAMILY MEMBER AND, UNDER LAWS, UNACCOMPANIED CHILDREN ARE PLACED IN A SEPARATE LEGAL TRACK.

>> Yang: AND IF THE PARENT IS RETURNED TO THEIR HOME COUNTRY, THE CHILD ISN'T NECESSARILY REUNITED WITH THE PARENT?

>> THAT'S EXACTLY RIGHT. IN FACT, WE HAVE BRKING WITH SOME PARENTS WHO HAVE BEEN DEPORTED BACK TOCENTRAL AMERICA WHILE THEIR CHILD HAS REMAINED IN T CUSTODY OF THE OFFICE OF REFUGEE RESETTLEMENT. THESE PARENTS ARE FRANTING. IT'S BEEN WEEKS SINCE THEY'VEE CONTACTED ILD AND ONCE YOU'RE BACK IN THE HOME COUNTRY IT'S EVEN MORE DIFFICULT TO ESTABLISH CONTACT.

>> Brown: AMNA, YOU WERE LEAVING THEAI EL PASOPORT THIS MORNING. TELL US WHAT YOU SAW.

>> THIS SPEAKS TO THE HEART OF US AS JOURNALISTS IS THE TRANSPARENCY, WHEN YOU REQUEST INFORMATION. FRANK CARLSEN AND I WEE AT THE BORDER LEAVING AND WE NOTICED A GROUP OF YOUNG MEN WHO ALL HADMP UNACIED MINOR BAG TAGS ON THEM AND APPEARED TO BE ESCORTED BY SIMILARLY CLOTHED ADULTS. WE APPROACHED THEM AND ASKED THE ADULTS WITH THEM CAN YOU TELL US ABOUT THESE YOUNG GUYS? TEY LOOKED ANYWHERE FROM 9 OR 10 TO 17 OR 18. WERE GIVEN NO ANSWERS, HANDED A CARD. THE REASON WE KNOW THEY W GOVERNMENT CUSTODY IS BECAUSE TO HAVE THE CARD. THE CARD HAD CONTACT INFORMATION FOR THE DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES WHICH IS THE GOVERNMENTAL AGENCY IN CHARGE OF UNACCOMPANIED MINORS IN THE UNITED STATES. WE REACHED OUT, LEFT MESSAGES AND E-MAILS, NO WORD BACK.D WE TAL THE AIRLINES AS WELL AND THE REPRESENTATIVE SAID WE HAVE BEEN ASSURED BY THE GOVERNMENT THAT WE WILL NOT BE TRANSPORTING ANY CHILDREN WHO Y VE BEEN FORCIPARATED FROM THEIR PARENTS SINCE THE PRESIDENT'S ECUTIVE ORDER WAS SIGNED. SO THESE ARE LIKELY CHILDREN WHR VED UNACCOMPANIED AND THOSE ARSGOVERNMENT CUSTODY FOR YE ARE OFTEN TRANSPORTED THIS WAY. THE POINT IS WE DON'T KNOW.'T WE DOET CONFIRMATION FROM THE GOVERNMENT OR RESPONSE FROM THEM. THERE IS NOT A LOT OFCY TRANSPARBOUT THE CARE AND WELL BEING OF THE CHILDREN HELD NOW.

>> Yang: AMNA NAWAZ, WENDY YOUN, KIDS IN NEED OF DEFEN THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

>> THANK YOU.

>> Yang: NOW MORE ON THE SUPREME COURT RULING WE LD YOU ABOUT ON HOW CLOSELY THE GOVERNMENT CAN KEEP TRACK OF SUSPECTS. AS JEFFREY BROWN REPORTS, THE ISSUE INVOLVES LOCATION DATA, TYPICALLY TRANSMITTED BY CELL PHONES.

>> Brown: IN LATE 2010 AN ARD ROBBERY OCCURRED AT A RADIO SHACK IN DETROIT. OVER THE NEXT THREE MONTHS, EIGHT MORE STORES IN THE AREA WERE ROBBED. META OBTAINED BY LAW ENFOR FROM CELLPHONE COMPANIES HELPED LEAD TO ARRES AND CONVICTIONS. TODAY THE SUPREME COURT RULED ON AN APPEAL OF THE CASE. MARCIA COYLE OF "THE NATIONAL W LAW JOURNA THERE TO HEAR THE DECISION. WELCOME BACK.

>> THANKS, JEF W

>> Brown: ITRTH ADDING ONE OF THE IRONIES OF THE CASES ONE THING THEY WERE STEALING WERE CELL PHONES.

>> THAT'S CORRECT.

>> Brown: WHAT KIND OF DATA? WE'RE TALKING ABOUT SELF-SITE LOCATION DATA. WHEN YOU LOSE YOUR CELL PHONE FOR A CALL, IT PINGS CELL TOWER AND YOUR CELL PHONE COMPANY KEEPS A RECORD OF WHERE THE PINGS LANDED. POLICE WANT THE CELL SITE LOCATION RECORDS BECAUSE, ONCE THEY KNOW WHERE THE CELL TOWER IS, THEY HAVE A REASONABLE IDEA OF WHERE THE CELL PHOASNE USED, AND IT WAS THAT INFORMATION THAT LED THEM TO TIMOTHY CARPENTER WHO WAS CONVICTIM ICONVICTIM.

>> Brown: AND THE ISSUE IS WHETHER IT W AN UNREASONABLE SEARCH.

>> THAT'S RIGHT, DID THE POLICE NEED A WARRANT. THEY ACTUALLY HAD ANRDER UNDER FEDERAL LAW THAT MAKES IT EASIER TO ACCESS CERTAINTY KINDS OF INFORMATION. THE CHIEF JUSTICE SAID THE AURTH AMENDMENT REQUIRES LAW ENFORCEMENT TO GARRANT IF THEY WANT TO ACCESS THE RECORDS BECAUSE YOU AND I HAVE A REASONABLE EXPECTATION OF PRIVACY IN THAT INFORMATION

>> Brown: HE WAS JOINED BY WHAT WE REFER TO AS THE LIBERAL. JUSTICE SYST

>> YEAH.

>> Brown: A LITTLE UNUSUAL COALITION. WHAT WAS THE ARGUMENT SOM THE OTHEDE?

>> JUSTICE KENNEDY WROTE ONE OF THE DISSENTS AND HE SAID HE FELT THIS TYPE OF INFORMATION WAS NO FFERENT FROM THE SO-CALLED BUSINESS RECORD AND OTHER INFORMATION THAT THE COURT, BACK IN THE '70s, AY TUAID THAT POLICE DON'T NEED A WARRANT FOR BECAUSE, IF YOU VOLUNTARILY DIVE BUSINESS RECORDS, BANK RECORDS TO A TH PARTY, YOU HAVE NO EXPECTATION THAT THE INFORMATION WILL REVAAIN PRI. IT'S CALLED THE THIRD PARTY DOCTRINE. AND THE CHIEF JUSTICE SAID, WAIT A MINUTE, THESE CELL SITE LOCATION RECORDS ARE LIKE THOSE RECORDS.

>> Brown: BUT THE CHIEF JUSTICE ALSO TRIED TO SAY THIS IS LIMITED.

>> YES

>> Brown: BUT THIS IS A FAST-DEVELOPING AREA OF LAW, RIGHT, DIGITAL AND PRIVACY IN THE DIGITAL AGE.

>> ABSOLUTELY. Brown: WHAT ARE THE IMPLICATION FORCE THE REST OF US?

>> OKAY, THERE ARE SOME WHO BELIEVE THAT THIS DESIGN TO PASS FOR PROTECTION OF PRIVACY INMA S AND TEXT MESSAGES. THE CHIEF DIDMPHASIZE THE GNAR ROUGHNESS. HE SAID WE'RE TALKING ABOUT HISTORICAL CELL SITE LOCATIO DATA, NOT DATA COLLECTED IN REAL OIME BY THE POLICE, AND ALS THAT THERE ARE EXCEPTIONS TO THE WARRANT REQUIRENT IF EVIDENCE GOING TO BE DESTROYED, SOMEBODY'S KIDNAPPED, THERE'S A BOMB THRALEAT, THASO LIMITS THE RULING, HE SAID. BUT HE VERY MUCH HAS AN EYE ON THE FUTURE. HE TALKED ABOUT THIS DIGITAL REVOLUTION THAT WE'RERG UNNG, AND THE DISSENTERS FELT THAT THE PRINCIPALS IN THIW DECISIL OPEN THE DOOR TO A LOT MORE LITIGATION AND ACTUALLY ENDANGER CERTAIN LAW ENFORCEMENT INVESTIGATIONS.

>> Brown: AND VERY BRIEFLY, IN THIS CASE THE CVICTION GOES BACK TO A LOW COURT?

>> IT DOES. BASICALLY, THE COURT IS CAYING YOT USE THE EVIDENCE BECAUSE YOU DIDN'T HAVE A WARRANT. WIT WILL BE UP TO THE L COURT TO SEE AS WELL AS THE PROSECUTORS IF THEY WANT TO TRY THIS FELLOW AGAIN WITHOUT THAT EVIDENCE.

>> Brown: MARCIA COYLE, AS ALWAYS, THANK YAS.

>> MY PE, JEFF.

>> Yang: STAY WITH US. COMING UP ON THE NEWSHOUR: AN MARK SHIELDS AND DAVID BROOKS GIVE THEIR TAKE ON THE IMMIGRATION CONTROVERS AND BRINGING ART TO RURAL COMMUNITIES. BUT FIRST, SAUDI ARABIA IS T ONLY COUNTRY IN THE WORLD THAT FORBIDS WOMEN FROM DRIVING. BUT THIS SUNDAY MARKS A MILESTONE WHEN THAT PROHIBITION ENDS. NICK SCHIFRIN LOOKS AT THE STATE OF WOMEN'S RIGHTS IN THE KINGDOM AND THE LONG AND WINDING ROAD TO R LOW FEMALES BEHIND THE WHEEL.

>> Reporter: WHENENAL AL- SHARIF DRIVES, SHE FEELS FREE. BUT IN HER HOME IN SAUDI ARABIA, AT LOOKS ROUTINE, HAS REPRESENTED RESISTANCE.

>> ( translated ): YOU'LL FIND A WOMAN WITH A PH.D., A PROFESSOR AT A COLLEGE, AND SHE DOESN'T KNOW HOW TO DRIVE.N WE WANT CHANGEIS COUNTRY.

>> Reporter: SINCE THE 1950S SAUDI ARABIA'S BANNED WOMEN FROM RSIVING. ACTIVISTS BROKE BA AND RELIGIOUS CUSTOM POSTING DRIVING VIDEOS TO YOUTUBE. FOR WOMEN, DRIVING IS DIGNITY, AL-SHARIF TOLD JEFFREY BROWN LAST YEAR.

>> IT GIVES THEM SENSE OF LIBERTY AND FREEDOM. AND THAT BREAKS ALL THE THINGS THAT HAVE BEEN LNWRNED, AND BRHED WITH, THAT WE HAVE TO BE OBEDIENT TO THESE UNJUSTWE ROWS, AND WE'R, WE CANNOT

>> Reporter: THEST MOVEMENT STARTED IN THE EARLY 1990S.

>> ♪ NO WOMAN NO DRIVE NO WOMAN NO DRIVE

>> Reporter: AND EVEN INCLUDED MALE COMEDIANS SPOOFING BOB MARLEY ON WON BEING DRIVEN.

>> ♪ I REMEMBER WHEN YOU USED TO SIT, IN THE FAMILY CAR BUT BACKSEATor

>> Rr: BUT IT'S BACKSEAT NO LONGER. THIS MONTH, SAUDI WOMEN LEARNED THE RULES OF THE ROAD FROM A FORMER RACECAR DRIVER. AND A SMALL NUMBER OF WOMEN HAVE ALREADY RECEIVED THE DRIVERS LICENSES, AS SEEN IN THIS GOVERNMENT-PRODUCED VIDEO. FEMALE DRIVERS MEANS MORE FEMALE ERS, SAYS SAUDI EMBASSY SPOKESPERSON FATIMA BAESHEN.

>> DRIVING WAS A VERY TANGIBLE BARRIER FOR WOMEN ENTERING THE F WOCE, AND SO ALLOWING WOMEN TO DRIVE IS REALLY A GREEN LIGHT, PUN INTENDED, TO ALLOW WOMEN TO COME INTO THE WORK FORCE AND COMMERCIALLY ANDIC ECONLY CONTRIBUTE.

>> Reporter: THE EFFORT'S SPEARHEADED BY 32-YEAR-OLD CROWN INCE MOHAMMAD BIN-SALMAN. IN THE LAST FEW YEARS, WOMEN HAVE EARNED THE RIGHT TO VOTE AND RUN FOR OFFICE IN LOCAL ELECTIONS, AND ATTEND MOVES ANDP TS GAMES, PART OF A LARGER VISION 2030 PL.

>> WHEN WE TALK ABOUT VISION 2030, AND TRANSFORMING THE ECONOMY, AND DEVELOPING THE SOCIETY IN A WAY THAT REALLY PIVOTS THE COUNTRY'SRAJECTORY, IT ALLOWS NORMALIZING WOMEN INTO THE PUBLIC SPACE.

>> Reporter: BUT CRITICS S THIS SMINGLY MODERN U.S. ALLY IS STUCK IN THE PAST. AND USING WOMEN DRIVERS AS A MOHAMMAD BIN SALMAN P.R. STUNT TO GET WESTERN ATTENTION AND STMENT, SAYS LONDON SCHO OF ECONOMICS PROFESSOR MADAWI AL-RASHEED.

>> Reporter: LAST MONTH, MANY OF THE VERY WOMEN WHOSE ACTIVISM MADE THE CHANGE POSSIBLE WERE ARRESTED AND ACCUSED OF UNDERMINING SAUDI SECURITY, PART OF A LARGER CRACKDOWN ON MOHAMMAD BIN SALMAN'S CRITICS.

>> POETS, JOURNALISTS, INTELLECTUALS, LAWYERS, PROFESSIONALS, ALMOST-- EVEN HIS OWN COUSINS AND HIS OWN RELATIVES. THEY HAD A TASTE OF HIS REPRESSION.

>> Reporter: AND WHAT'S NOT CHANGING THIS WEEKEND: SAUDI WOMEN STILL NEED A MALE GUARDIAN'S PERMIGEION TO TRAVEL, MARRIED, EVEN OPEN A BANK ACCOUNT.S THIS SOCIETYILL RESTRICTIVE AND STILL HAS NO REPR

>> TO THINK THAT SAUDI ARABIA IS GOING TO BE REFORMED WITHOUT POLITICAL CHGE IS ACTUALLY A TH. IT'S ACTUALLY NOT GOING TO HAPPEN. WOMEN'S RIGHTS ARE PART AND PARCEL OF A BUNDLE OF RIGHTS, ALD THESE RIGHTS ARE POLIT SPGHTS.

>> Reporter: IN SE FOR HER ACTIVISM, MANAL AL-SHARIF WAS JAILED, AND LABELED A PROSTITU. BUT SHE'S STILL WORKING TO CHANGE SAUDI SOCIETY. LIFTINTHE DRIVING BAN WILL PROVIDE UNPRECEDENTED AUTONOMY TO WOMEN, BUT ACTIVISTS SAY THE ROAD TO FREEDOM IS STILL BLOCKED. FOR THE PBS "NewsHour", I'M NICK SCHIFRIN.

>> Yang: IT HAS BEEN QUITE A WEEK IN WASHINGTON, AND HERE TO ANALYZE IT ALL ARE SHIELDS AND BROOKS. THAT'S SYNDICATED COLUMNIST MARK SHIELDS AND "NEW YORK TIMES" COLUMNIST DAVID BROOKS.

>> GENTLEMEN, WELCOME. IT HAS BEEN QUITE A WEEK. WE SAW AN UNUSUAL COALITI OF POSITION TO THE PRESIDENT'S POLICY ON THE BORDER, THE PRESIDENT DIGGING IN, DEFENDING IT AND CHANGING COURSE. WHAT IF WE LEARNED THIS WEEK?

>> CHAOS REIGNS. USUALLY WHEN YOU GO TO THE WHITE HOUSE AND SAY HOW DOES THI WORK, THEY USUALLY WALK YOU THROUGH THE DETAILS. SEEMS NO ONE'S ASING THE PRACTICAL QUESTIONS, IT'S JUST WHAT YOU HAVE WHEN YOU HAVE GOVERNMENT BY TWEET. IT'S INFURIATING ABOUT IT IS THE REPUBLICAN PARTY EXIST FORCE A FEW REASONS, ONE OF THEM IS TO UNDERSTAND THAT GOVERNMENT IS AT ITS MOST ABHORRENT WHEN IT CAN'N SEE HUEINGS AS HUMAN BEINGS, AND WHEN IT TREATS THEM AS META POINTS OR SOMETHING IN A BUREAUCRATIC GAME, ANDAT WHAT WE'VE SEEN THIS WHOLE POLICY. IT'S NOT TREATING THE PEOPLE ASE HUMANGS. IT'S TREATING THEM AS SORT OF PAWNS IN SOME SORT OF LARGER PROTEST MOVEMENT, AND THAT'S WHAT HAPPENS WHEN GOVERNMENT DOES THAT, YOU 'ET HORRIFIC PAIN AND SUFFERING AND THAT'S WHAT WE'RE SEEING.

>> Yang: MRK? EVERY ADMINISTRATION IS INEVITABLY A MERE REFLECTION OF THE MAN AT THE TOP. SADLY, IN THIS CASE, THE REPUBLICAN PARTY HAS BECOME A REFLECTION OF THE MAN AT TH TOP. IT IS A COMBINATION OF MALICE AND INCOMPETENCE. IT IS SHAMEFUL BEYOND DESCRIPTION. THE IDEA OF SEPARATING CHILDREN, ANYBODY WHO'S BEEN A PARENT OR A CHILD OR A SIBLING AND KNOWS THE PAIN, THE N CONSOLABLE PAI HOME SICKNESS WHEN A CHILD IS SEPARATED FROM THE MOTHER, EVEN SOMETIMES FOR A BRIEF PERIOD, TO DO THIS IS A MATTER OF POLICY IS UNTHINKABLE. THE ONE BRIGHT LIGHT TO ME, QUITE HONESTLY, IN A DARK, DARK PICTURE HAS BEEN ORGANIZED RELIGION, SPEAKING UP AND SPEAKING OUT. WITH THE EXCEPTION OF SOME OF THE PRESIDENT'S MOST ARDENT FOLLOWERS IN THE EVANGELICAL COMMUNITY, GIVE CREDIT TO THE SOUTHERN BAPTISTS, THE PROTESTANT DENOMINATIONS, THE CATHOLIC BISHOPS, ACROSS THE BOARD, THE CARDINAL OF CHICAGO PUT IT SO WELL, HE SAID THIS IS NO AMERICAN, THIS IS CRUEL AND IT IS A SHAME ON ALL OF US THT IT IS DONE IN OUR NAME. AND I JUST THINK THAT'S WHERE I IS. BEYOND THE POLITICAL, WHICH I THINK IS A DISASTER FOR THE REPUBLICANS, FORNYHE REASONS F WHICH DAVID HAS SPOKEN OF, IS JUST IMMEASURABLE.

>> Yang: DAVID, THE PRESIDENT HSEEMS TO WANT THE MAKES THE CENTERPOINT OF THE MID-TERM ELECTION CAMPAIGN.

>> THE REPUBLICANS AR HAVING A DEBATE. NORMALLY YOU GO WITH YOUR ARENGTH. THE REPUBLICANS HA CLEAR ADVANTAGE WITH THE ECONOMY. ON THE NORMAL THING, ECONOMY, TRUMP SAYS, NO, IMMIGRATION WILL BE OR ISSUE. AND THE DATA THAT BACKS HIM UP IS IF YOU ASKSHAT IS IS MOST ON YOUR MIND RIGHT NOW IT'S IMGRATION FIRST AND HEALT CARE SECOND. HE CAN SAY, LISTEN, THE PEOPLE CARE ABOUT IMMIGRATION. I THINK IT'SHAT HIS PEOPLE CARE ABOUT OR WHAT HE THINKS HIS PEOPLE CARE ABOUT. BUT THE BROADERREND HEWORTH POINTING OUT IS, OVER THE LAST TWO YEARS AND OVER THE PAST TEN YEARS, SUPPORT FOR IMMIGRATION IN PRINCIPLE HAS BEEN RISING AND NOT FALLING. PEOPLE SAY IMMIGRANTS ARE GOOD FOR THE COUNTRY, THE NUMBER HAS BEEN RISING. PEOPLE SAY WE HAVE FEWER IMMIGRANTS, IT'S BEEN FALLING. SOHIS IS NOT THE RE OF NATIVISM, IT'S A RISE OF DONALD TRUMP MOBILIZING SUPPORT OF THE ELECTORATE, A CERTAIN PORTION.

>> Yang: CONGRESS CAN'T FIGURE OUT WHAT TO DO. THEY PUNTED AGAIN A VOTE ON A BILL IN THE HOUSE.

>> NO, IT'S ACTUALLY -- DAV RIGHT, IT'S 17 YEARS IT'S BEEN IMPROVING. THERE'S A 6% DROP JUT FRM LAST YEAR IN THE AMERICANS WHO THINK THAT WE OUGHT TO CUT IMMIGRATION, DOWN TO 29%, WHICH IS A LOW. SO THE AMERICANS REALLY, IF ANYTHING, ARE MORE WELCOMING MORE ENLIGHTENED, MORE ACKNOWLEDGING OF THE VALUE AND IMPORTANCE OF IMMIGRANTS TO OUR COT,TRY. N CONGRESS, IT'S BEEN A POLITICAL FAILURE. THERE'S BEEN NO PUBLI CNSENSUS ESTABLISHED ON THIS ISSUE. IT'S BEEN A FAILURE. PRESIDENT SH TRIED, PRESIDENT GEORGE W. BUSH TRIED, PRESIDENT OBAMA TRIED, THEY FAILED. PRESIDENT TRUMP HAS BEEN LIKE AN ARSONIST IN A GASOLINE STATION ON THIS ISSUE. THE ONLY THEM WHO REALLY WANT ACTION RIGHT NOW, HEADING IN NNOVEMBER, ARE SUBUR REPUBLICANS, WHO ARE INE ENLIGHTENED, MORE WELCOMING, MORE HUMAN ON IMMIGRATION AND OPPOSE THE REPUBLICAN PARTY, AND THEY WANT TO SEE SOME ACTION TO BE ABLE TO GOACK. BUT THERE ISN'T -- I MEAN, DEMOCRATS HAVE BEEN EXCLUDED FROM THE PROCESS AND THEY'RE NOT PLAYING AND THE MAINSTREAM REPUBLICANS REALLY DON'T GIVE A DAMN.

>> IT'S REALLY INTERESENNG, IT'S FAILURE ON THREE WAYS, AND THERE'S BEEN THE ULTRA HAWKISH SIDE OPEN THE REPUBLIC SIDE WHO WANTS TO CUT LEGAL AND ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION AND BUILD A WALL ON ALL THE REST. CAERE'S ANOTHER PART WE'LL CALL THE MODERATE REPUB THOUGH MAY BE STRETCHING THE TERM WHO MOSTLY CARE ABOUT JUST ENFORCING THE LAWS AND WANT TO GIVE DREAMERS A PATH TO CITIZENSHIP, AND THOSE TWO CAN'T GET ALONG SO YOU CAN'T GET A REPUBLICAN POLICY. THEN THERE IS THE DEMOCRATS WHO SAY WE AREN'T GOING TO PLAY ANY OF THESE GAMUSES BEWE CAN'T BE GETTING RID OF FAMILIES, CAN'T BE BUDING A WALL. SO WE HAVE -- WE'RE GOING TO BE -- IN THREE WEEKS WE'RE G TO BE EXACTLY WHERE WE WERE TODAY. SO ANDREW SULLIVAN IN THE NEW YORK MAGAZINE WROTE A PIECE I HAVE SYMPATHY FOR WHO SAID GIVE THE GUY HIS WAL. IT WILL DO NOTHING, BUT BUILD THE WALL, AND THEY GET A NORMAL POLICY GIVEN THE WALL. SOMEHOW THERE HAS TO BE SOME SOLUTION OR THIS PROBLEM WILL BE EXACTLY THE SAME IN TWO WEEKS AS IT WAS TWO WEEKS AGO.

>> IT WILL BE, HN, BUTHINK YOU HAVE TO CONFRONT THE REALITY. THIS MAN IS A RACIALIST. HE REALLY IS. THE LANGUAGE HE USES, DONALD TRUMP, THREE YEARS AGO THIS WEEK HE ANNOUNCED HIS CANDIDACY. U RECALL HEAID MEXICO DOESN'T SEND US THEIR BEST, END.'RE NOT OUR FR THEY SEND RAPISTS AND DRUG CARRIERS. I MEAN, IT'S ALWAYS BEEN. THE NIGERIANS DON'T WANT TO GO BACK TO THEIR HUTS. THEYOME FROM THE S-HOLE COUNTRIES. IT'S ALWAYS HAD A RACIAL COMPONENT. HE DOESN'T TALK THAT WAY ABOUT CANADA, HE DOESN'T TALK AT WAY ABOUT FRANCE. HE TAALKS ABOUTY ABOUT PEOPLE FROM THE SOUTHERN HEMISPHERE OF A DIFFERENTAT PIGMEN, AND I DON'T THINK YOU CAN LOOK AT ANY OF HIS STATEMENTS WHETHER INFECTING THE COUNTRY, WE'REI TALKING ABOUTCE AND --

>> INFESTING THE COUNTRY. YE, I THINK THIS IS KATRINA. I THINK THIS IS A DEFINING MOMENT FOR THIS PRESIDENCY AND THE AMERICAN PEOPLE. I MEN,F YOU COULD CONTINUE TO SUPPORT DONALD TRUMP ON THERMSE YOU'RE ACCEPTING THE FACT THAT HE IS WHAT HE IS.

>> YEAH, I DON'T AGREE. ANALYTICALLY, I AGREE WITH THE MORAL OBJECTION, BUT I EXPECT A LOT OF PEOPLE WHO ARE NT ANTI-IMMIGRANT AND ANTI-NATIVIST SUPPORT THE BORDER AND THINK PEOPLE WILL SEEK ASYLUM IF THEY BRING KIDS. I WOULD BE SURPRISED IF HIS RATING WENT DOWN MORE THA3 4 PERCENTAGE POINTS IF AT OFF THE WE'LL SEE IN A WEEK.

>> Yang: MARK MENTIONED KATRINA. THE REASON WHY I THINK THAT WAS SO STARTLING FOR GEORGE W. BUSH WAS BECAUSE THE REPUBLICANS WERE SEEN AS THE PEOPLE OF COMPETENCE WHO COULD RUN THINGS AND MAKTHE GS WORK, AND NOW WE HAVE THIS, AS YAMICHE ALCINDOR WAS DESCRIBING EARLIER, TOTAL CHAOS IN THE GOVERNMENT AS THEY TRY TO FIGURE OUT HOW TO EXECUTE THE EXECUTIVE ORDER AND HOW TORE ITE THE FAMILIES. SEEMS LIKE THERE WASN'T ANY THOUGHT FROM WHICH HES SUPPORTING, WHEN THEY SEPARATE THE FAMILIES HOW TO REUNITE THEM. BOTH HAVE TO SAY ABOUT THE REPUBLICAN PARTY AND WHERE THEY ARE NOW. YOU GET A WEIRD PHENOMENON, EVERY TIME THE GOVERNMENT MESSES UP IN SOME MAJOR WAY, DONALD TRUMP WILL SAY, SEE, I'M DRAINING THE SWAMP, YOU'VE GOT TO GET RID OF THIS GOVERNMENT THING. THE MORE HE SCREWS UP, THE MORE IT HELPS HIM. HE HAS BEEN TESTING THAT POSITION STRONGLY FORHE LT YEAR AND A HALF.

>> Yang: I WANT TO NOTE THE PASSING OF A COLLEAGUE OFOUS, EACH OF US WORKED WITH HIM IN "TIME" MAAZINE IN THE 1980s, CHARLES KRAUTHAMMER, A VERY THOUGHT-PROVOKING AND ELOQUENT MARK, YOU WORKED WITH HIM ON INSIDE WASHINGTON.

>> I DID. CHARLES AND ICCUPIED DIFFERENT PHILOSOPHICAL CHAIRS, FAR MORE ORAPOLARIZED THAN DAVID AND I A. CHARLES SUFFERED A TERRIY DISABLING INJURE THAT LEFT HIM A PARAPLEGIC AS A YOUNG MAN. IN SPITE OF THAT, A GREAT TRIBUTE TO THE HUMAN SPIRIT. CHARLES IS ALL YOU SAID HE WAS, BUHEHEAD A WICKED SENSE OF HUMOR. AS GORDON PETERS THE LONG-TIME WASHINGTON ANCHOR WROTE AFU BEAUPIECE ON THE PBS WEB SITE ABOUT CHARLES, WAS EMCEE OR HST OF THAT SHOW, NOTED CHARLES JUST HAD A MARVELOUSLY DEVILISH SENSE OF HUMOR AND OFTENTIMES AT THE EXPENSE OF THOSE VERY CONSERVATIVE ICONS THAT HE WASND DEG THEIR POLICIES, WHILE ACKNOWLEDGING THEIR INFIRMITIES OF CHARACTER AND PERSONALITY, BUT HE WAS -- HE WAS REALLY, I THTK, GENEROUS, IT'S FAI SAY.

>> A, SUPER INTELLIGENT. THERT S A TESWHERE PEOPLE READ OFF A NUMBER AND YOU HAVE TO RECITE THEM BACKWARDS, THE AVERAGE PERSON COULD DO FIVE,AR S COULD DO IS IT WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE HIHWAY AT 70 MILES AN HOUR. HE COULD BE DRY, BUT AT A BALL GAME, HE WAS LIKE A 7-YEAR-OLD BOY, HE WAS JOYFUL. HE WAS A SWEET MAN, ESIALLY AT A BALLPARK, AROUND JEWISH ISSUES HE JUST RAIATED THAT SWEETNESS. THE FINAL THING, JUST PROFESSIONALLY, HE'S A MAN WHO DID THE READING. HE REA READ THROUGH AND KNEW HIS PHILOSOPHICAL GRONGUNND EVERYTHING COULD GROW OUT OF THAT. SO YOUAD -- HE HAD ROMANTICISM, COULD GET INTT UP IN SENTIMENTAL PASSIONS, BUT IT GAVE A DEPTH TO HIS WORK THAT WAS EXTRAORDINARY FOR A NEWSPAPER COLNIST. Yang: I SAW HIM ONCE ON FOX. THERE WAS A REFERENCE TO YOU AS A NSERVATIVE COLUMNIST AND CHARLES SAID, NO, I HAVE TOU CORRECT

>> HE SAID WHO WAS YOUR FAVORITE LIBERAL COLUMNIST AND HE SAID ME. THAT WAS HIS SENSE OF HUMOR.

>> Brown: AT WAS HIS SENSE OF HUMOR. DAVID BROOKS, SHIELD MRK SHIELD, THANK YOU SO MUCH.HE

>> Yang:OUVRE IN PARIS, THE METROPOLITAN MUSEUM OF ART O IN NEW YORK, A YOU PROBABLY HAVEN'T HEARD OF: CRYSTAL BRIDGES MUSEUM OF AMERICAN ART IN BENTONVILLE, ARKANSAS. IT'S PERHAPS AN UNEXPECTED SPOT FOR SUCH A FIRST-RATE COLLECTION. BUT THAT'S THE MUSEUM'S GOAL-- AND AS JFREY BROWN REPORTS-- AS PART OF OUR AMERICAN CREATORS SERIES, IT'S AHEISSION THAT'S ING TO RESHAPE THE ENTIRE REGION.

>> Brown: IT'S NOT UNCOMMON TO SEE SCHOOL GROUPS AT A MUSEUM, BUT THE CRYSTAL BRIDGES MUSE OF AMERICAN ART IN BENTONVILLE, ARKANSAS, SEES PART OF ITS VY MISSION AS SERVING YOUNG PEOPLE IN THIS LARGELY RURAL AREA WHO MIGHT NEVER OTHERWISE GET TO A MAJOR COLLECTION. THIS CLASS WAS FROM PIERCE CITY, MISSOURI, A TOWN OF ABOUT 1,30 IT'S JUST 60 MILES FROM HERE, BUT THE TRIP WAS A FIRST FOR MANY, INCLUDING 5TH GRADER LANIE SKOCY.

>> IT'S A SMALL TOWN A MOST OF THE TIME IT'S LIKE, OKAY, WE'RE STAYING HERE NOT GOING TO ARKANSAS AND COMING TO SOMETHING LIKE THIS. IT'S COOL. THERE'S A LOT OF COOL FUN ART HERE AND IT IS JUST BEAUTIFUL.

>> IN A LOT OF RESPECTS, WE ARE WORLDS AWAY.>> eporter: LAURA STILL IS SKOCY'S ART TEACHER.

>> SOME OF THEM GET TO TRAVEL TL PLACE THE LARGER AREAS LIKE KANSAS CITY, AND A LOT OF THEM DO GO TO SPRINGFIELD, BUT THERE'QUITE A FEW OF THEM. THEY JUST THEY'VE GOT PARENTS THAT ARE HARDWORKING PARENTS AND O DON'T HAVE A LOT OF TIMEKE THEM TO PLACES LIKE THIS.

>> Reporter: CRYSTAL BRIDGES,DE GNED BY ARCHITECT MOSHE SAFDIE, WAS FOUNDED BY WAL-MART HEIRESS PURCHASED THE ART AND OPENED THE MUSEUM IN HER HOMETOWN IN 2011. IT SITS ON 120 ACRES OF LAND IN F E OZARKS, SURROUNDED BY MORE THAN THREE AND A HLES OF SCULPTURE-DOTTED NATURE TRAILS. ADMISSION IS FREE. THE COLLECTION: HIGHLIGHTS FROM MANY PERIODS OF AMERICAN ART.

>> THESE ARE ICONIC OBJECTS THAT ARE PART OF AN AMERICAN ART 101 CLASS.

>> Reporter: MINDY BEE-S HAS BEEN A CURATOR HERE FOR THREE AND A HALF YEARS.

>> THE FIRST AND FOREMOST THING WE LOOK AT WHEN WE'RE THINKING ABOUT ART IS, "THE BEST."

>> Brown: THE BE? THAT'S A HIGH BAR.

>> IT'S A HIGH BAR, BUTHAT I THINK GOES TO THE MISSION OF WHAT WE'RE DOING. IT'S NOT MAKING ART-- ANY ART ACCESSIBLE FOR ALL. IT'S MAKING THE BEST OF AMERICAV ARLABLE AND ACCESSIBLE FOR ALL.

>> Brown: ONE EXAMPLE: ASHER B. DURAND'S "KINDRED SPIRITS". WALTON BOUGHT THE PAINTING FROM THE NEW YORK PUBLIC LIBRARY FOR A REPORTED $35 MILLION, STIRRING CONTROVERSY IN TRADITIONAL ART CENTERS. IT WAS JUST PACI OF THE SKEP AND CONCERN THE MUSEUM DREW EARLY ON ABOUTPO WALTON'S DEEETS AND WHERE THIS NEW COLLECTION WAS BEING HOUSED.TH SEVEN YEARS INMUSEUM CONTINUES TO MAKE ITCECASE, ATTENDS UP-- A TOTAL OF NEARLY 4 MILLION TO DATE-- AND THE RATORS ARE PUSHING THE ENVELOPE MORE THAN THEY DARED IN THE PAST. E MUSEUM RECENTLY UNVEILED A REDESIGN OF ITS EARLY AMERICAN GALLERIES.AC

>> ISS IS OUR MISSION, THEN WE NEED TO BE ACCESSIBLE AND OP, MAYBE EVEN QUESTIONING, THAT ESTABLISHED RPORY OF AMERICAN ART AND MAKING ROOM FOR MORE INTATION AND MORE STORIES.

>> Brown: TO THAT END, WORKS FROM DIFFERENT ERAS HANG SIDE BY SIDE IN A KIND OF "CONVERSATION:" AN ICONIC GEORGE WASHINGTON, PAINTED BY CHARLES WILSON PEALE, NEXT TO A CONTEMPORARY VIDEO "PORTRAIT" OF A NORTH DAKOTA OIL FRACKING WORKER, BY SUSIE J. LEE.

>> THIS IS THE KIND OF SUBJECT THAT WOULD HAVE NEVER BEEN PAINTED IN THE 19TH CENTURY. AND SO HERE IN THE 21ST CENTURY.

>> Brown: YOU ME LIKE A COMMON MAN, A WORKER.

>> A COMMON MAN, A WORKER, WOULDN'T HAVE BEEN GIVEN THIS GRANDEUR, THIS ATTENTION, AND SO

>> Brown: WALL TEXTS NOW TIE OLDER ARTWORKS TO CONTEMPORARY S SUES. FOR GEORGE PETTI65 PAINTING OF UNION REFUGEES in THE CIVIL WAR, A DIGITAL LABEL DRAWS A DIRECT CONNECTION TO TODAY'S SYRIAN REFUGEE CRISIS.PA ANOTHE OF THE "NEW" AMERICAN STORY BEING TOLD HERE EMPHASIZES NATIVE AMERICAN ART. BOBBY MARTIN, A LOCAL ARTIST, PROFESSOR AND MEMBER OF THE MUSCOGEE CREEK TBE, SERVED AS AN ADVISOR. HE POINTED TO A COLONIAL PORTRAIT SET NEXT TO NATIVE MOCCASINS ANCRADLES.

>> FOR ME IT EXPANDS THE STORY IT'S NOT JUST ABOUA EUROPEAN SENSIBILITY OF HERE'S WHAT PEOPLE LOOK LIKE IN 1600S OR WHATEVER. HERE IS ALSO WHAT WAS GOING ON AT THE SAME TIME. SO IT BRINGS IN A WHOLE ANOTHER THREAD, A WHOLE NOTHER STORY THAT IS OFTEN SET APART.

>> Brown: THE MUSEUM'S CONTEMPORARY GALLERIES HAVE ALSO EXPANDED, TH WORKS BY ARTISTS LIKE TITUS KAPHAR, VANESSAAS GERMAN AND RUTA. EARLIER THIS YEAR, THE MUSEUM HOSTED THE AMERICAN DEBUT OF THE EXHITION, "SOUL OF A NATION, WHICH SHOWCASED WORKS BY BLACK ARTISTS IN THE 1960s THROUGH '80s. LAUREN HAYNES IS THE CURATOR FOR CONTEMPORARY ART.

>> A LOT OF MUSEUMS ALL ACROSS THE WORLD SOMETIMES UNDERESTIMATE THEIR AUDIENCES OR THINK THEY KNOW WHAT PEOPLE WANH TO SEE OR THIN KNOW WHAT PEOPLE WANT TO ENGAGE WITH. BUT ONE OF THE THINGS PARTICULARLY WORKING IN CONTEMPORARY ART IS YOU'RE ALWAYS ASKING PEOPLE TO PUSH BOUNDARIES AND THINK A LITTLE DIFFERENTLY. SO TO ME THIS FEELS RIGHT AT HOME HERE IN BENTONVILLE.

>> Brown: NOW, BENTONVILLE ITSELF IS PUSHING BOUNDARIES. HOME TO THE ORIGINAL FIVE-AND- DIME WALTON'S STORE-- ANDEN ALLY WAL-MART'S HEADQUARTERS-- BENTONVILLE'S ALWAYS BEEN A "COMPANY TOWN." IT STILL IS. BUT WI CRYSTAL BRIDGES-- AND BIG INVESTMENTS FROM A YOUNGER GENERATIONF WALTONS-- THE TOWN HAS TAKEN ON A NEW LOOK PRACTICALLY OVERNIGHT. ITS DOWNTOWN IS NOW FILLED WITH STREET ART, TRENDY RESKEURANTS, AND HOPS THAT FEED A BURGEONING MOUNTAIN BIKING SCENE. THE POPULATION HERE IN NORTHWEST ARKANSAS IS ONE OF THE FASTEST GROWING IN THE COUNTRY. MIKE ABB GREW UP IN BENTONVILLE BEFORE MOVING TO AUSTIN, TEXAS, FOR MORE THAN A DECADE. HE CAME BACK IN 2013 AND NOW WORKS FOR THE WALTONS.

>> WE HAD A LEADERSHIP TEAM AT WAL-MART AND THE CORPO OFFICES THAT WERE COMING FROM URBAN CORES AND THEY WERE MISSING WHAT THEY HAD IN LARGER CITIES. THEY WERE MISSING THAT CULTURAL MOMENTUM THAT THEY WERE GETTIN OUT OF THE COASTS.

>> Brown: BUT ABB ACKNOWLEDGES THE EXTREME GROWTH-- AND ITS ACCOMPANYING RISING COSTS-- CAN CAUSE TENSIONS.

>> THEY'RE AFRAID THEIR ENTITIES BEING TAKEN AWAY FROM THEM OR THAT THEY'RE JUST HOLDING SPACE FOR A NEW FUTURE RESIDENT. WE ARE ACTIVELY TRYING TO CHANGE THAT MENTALITY.

>> Brown: AS FOR CRYSTAL N BRIDGET VENTURE-- IT'S TURNING AN OLD KRAFT CHEESE FACTORY INTO A VENUE FORXH CONTEMPORARYITIONS, MUSIC, THEATER AND FILM. THE 63,000-SQUARE-EDOT SPACE, CATHE MOMENTARY", IS SET TO OPEN IN 2020. FOR THE PBS NEWSHOUR, I'M JEFFREY BROWN IN BENTONVILLE ARKANSAS.

>> Yang: IN THE "#METOO ERA," THERE IS A ARTISTIC QUESTION TO CONSIDER: HOW DO WE WATCH AND HOW DO WE THINK ABOUT CHARLIE ROSE INTERVIEWS, MIRAMAX MSHIES, OR "COSB" RERUNS? IN OTHER WORDS, SHOULD WE SEPARATE THE ART FROM THE ARTIST? EARLIER THIS WEEK RAPPER XXXTENTACION WAS KILLED, BUT WHAT DO WE MAKE OF HIS MUSIC? TONIGHT, "NEW YORKER" MUSIC CRITIC AMANDA PETRUSICH SHARES HER HUMBLE OPINION ON HOW WE SHOULD ANSWER THOSE QUESTIONS.

>> FOR DECADES IF NOT CENTURIES, ART CRITICS HAVE REPEATED AN ODD DICTUM: "ALWAYS SEPARATE THE ART FROM THE ARTIST." IT'S A FUNNY RULE, BECAUSE SO MUCH OF WHAT'S BEEN CANONIZED AS TRIUMPHANT OR PROFOUND WORK IS CONSIDERED SUCCESSFUL IN PART BECAUSE IT IS PERSONAL-- IN MY EXPERIENCE, IF WE CAN'T FIND THY HUMAN SOMETHING, ITSS MEANS FAR O US. AS A MUSIC CRITIC, A HUGE PART OF MY JOB CONSISTSINF CONTEXTUALA SONG OR ALBUM IN ITS CULTURAL MOMENT, AND ON A CREATIVE CONTINUUM-- FG OUT HOW IT WORKS AND WHAT IT MEANS IN RELATION TO EVERYTHING ARND IT. BUT ACCORDING TO THE OLD RULES, THE ARTIST HIMSELF-- WHO HE IS, WHAT HE DOES, HOW HE BEHAVES, WHAT HE BELIEVES-- SHOULD REMAIN OFF-LIMITS. IT'S BECOME INCREASINGLY OBVIOUS THAT THIS WAY OF THINKING ISGE OUTDATED AND DUS. WE CAN'T SIMPLY CLEAVE A SONG OR RECORD FROM THE CONSCIOUSNESSTH CREATED IT BECAUSE WE LIKE IT, OR BECAUSE IT'S FUN TO DANCE TO, OR BECAUSE WE DON'T WANT TO RECKON WITH THE IDEA THAT BAD PEOPLE CAN MAKE BEAUTIFUL THINGS. WHOSE BEHAVIOR OVER TIME INDICATES SOME DEEP MORAL FISSURE. THE STREAMING SERVICE SPOTIFY BRIEFLY BANNED MUSIC OF TWO ARTISTS ACCUSED OF HORRIFYING YSICAL AND SEXUAL VIOLENCE, R. KELLY AND XXXCONTACION ON CURATED PLAY LISTS. I'M UNCOMFORTABLE WIOR SUNG THEM FINANCIALLY AND EVEN MORE UNCOMFORTABLE WITHP TACITLYROVING OR TOLERATING VIOLENCE AGAINST WOMEN. THIS IS DIFFERENT THAN CENSORSHIP. THIS IS MAKING A CHOICE TO BE EXPLICIT ABOUT WHAT WE AS LISTENERS AND CONSUMERS AND FANS WILL AND WILL NOT ACCEPT. SPOTIFY EVENTUALLY RESTORED THOSE ARTISTS TO ITS PLAY LITS SAYING IT DIDN'T WANT TO PLAY JUDGE AND JURY. THESE DELIBERATIONS AEN'T SIMPLE. IS IT EASIER TO PRETEND THE ART AND ARTIST WHO MADE IT AE DISTINCT? OF COURSE. IT'S THE PROCESS OF DETERMINING WHO'S DECENT HAVES WHO'S MONSTROUS GOING TO BE CLEAN, EASY OR FUN IN CERTAINLY NOT. IN MYREER I'VE SPOKEN WITH DOZENS OF MUSICIANS, WRITERS ANI MAKERS WHO HAVE TALKED ABOUT THE CREATIVE PROCESS AS A KIND OF SENSE-MAKIEG EXPE. FOR MANY ARTISTS, IT'S SIMPLY HOW THEY FIGURE OUT WHO THEY ARE AND WHAT THEY NK. WE CAN'T PRETEND SONGS OR BOOKS OR TELEVISION SHOWS JUST APPEAR FULLY FORMED IN THE WORLDEN INDEPEOF ANY IDEOLOGY OR INTENTION. THE ART IS THE ARTIST. YOU DON'T GET ONE WITHOUT THE OTHER.
