1:26 1:28 Homeland Security secretary Alejandro
1:28 1:31 mayorcas s there is an acute and
1:31 1:33 immediate need to construct physical
1:33 1:36 barriers to prevent unlawful entries
1:36 1:38 into the United States facing a growing
1:38 1:41 influx of migrants illegally entering
1:41 1:43 the country the administration is waving
1:43 1:46 26 federal laws in order to allow more
1:46 1:49 wall construction using money allocated
1:49 1:52 before President Biden took office it's
1:52 1:54 a sharp policy shift for a president who
1:54 1:56 once called a wall spanning the southern
1:56 1:59 border a waste of time the new
1:59 2:01 construction ction will be along a
2:01 2:03 stretch of Border in Star County Texas
2:03 2:05 and tonight former president Trump who
2:05 2:09 built his successful 2016 presidential
2:09 2:11 campaign around a promise to build a
2:11 2:14 border wall is claiming Vindication

2:36 2:39 construct physical barriers and Roads to
2:39 2:41 prevent illegal Crossings in Star County
2:41 2:44 Texas but President Biden today appeared
2:44 2:46 to contradict his own DHS secretary do
2:46 2:49 you believe the board of wall first no
2:49 2:51 insisting his administration is not
2:51 2:53 building more wall because of the surge
2:53 2:55 in migrants but because they were
2:55 2:57 required by law to spend money Congress
2:57 2:59 allocated during the Trump
2:59 3:01 Administration they have to use the
3:01 3:03 money for what was appropriate I can't
3:03 3:05 stop that speaking in direct
3:05 3:06 contradiction to what his
3:06 3:09 own hear I'm speaking for the president
3:09 3:11 I'm saying that he has said that he does
3:11 3:13 not believe a border wall is effective
3:13 3:15 and late today this from the DHS
3:15 3:17 secretary traveling in Mexico City there
3:17 3:21 is no new Administration policy with
3:21 3:23 respect to the border wall still it
3:23 3:25 comes after the president repeatedly
3:25 3:27 slammed the wall and former president
3:27 3:30 Trump during the campaign there will not
3:30 3:33 be another foot of Wall constructed on
3:33 3:35 my Administration tonight Mr Trump
3:35 3:37 arguing he's been proven right posting
3:37 3:39 there are only two things that have
3:39 3:42 consistently worked wheels and walls
3:42 3:44 will Joe Biden apologize to me and
3:44 3:48 America for taking so long to get moving
3:48 3:50 the latest NBC News poll shows Americans
3:50 3:53 give Republicans an 18-point advantage
3:53 3:55 when asked who would better handle
3:55 3:58 immigration the largest ever deficit for
3:58 4:00 Democrats on this issue
4:00 4:02 and Peter joining me now Peter the
4:02 4:03 administration tonight announced it will
4:03 4:06 resume deportation flights for migrants
4:06 4:08 from one country Lester that's right
4:08 4:09 border officials are currently seeing
4:09 4:12 more migrants from Venezuela than from
4:12 4:14 anywhere else and now they will once
4:14 4:16 again face those deportation flights
4:16 4:18 this comes after the bid Administration
4:18 4:21 gave temporary legal status to half a
4:21 4:23 million Venezuelans Lester Peter
4:23 4:25 Alexander at the White House thanks and
4:25 4:27 increasingly the migrant crisis is being
4:27 4:29 felt far from the border including City
4:29 4:32 like Chicago where officials say
4:32 4:35 resources are running thin Julia anley
4:35 4:36 is there
4:36 4:39 tonight tonight officials warning
4:39 4:41 Chicago is approaching a Breaking Point
4:41 4:44 tents full of desperate migrants lining
4:44 4:46 Chicago's iconic lak Shore Drive migrant
4:46 4:49 shelters inside O'Hare Airport a total
4:49 4:52 of 177,000 migrants showing up since
4:52 4:54 last August and officials expect 1,200
4:54 4:57 per day to keep coming now Chicago is
4:57 4:59 building sprawling tint camps to get
4:59 5:02 migrants off the streets of places like
5:02 5:05 this ahead of the cold winter months
5:05 5:07 Democratic Illinois governor JB pritsker
5:07 5:09 slamming President Biden for not doing
5:09 5:12 enough writing the federal government's
5:12 5:13 lack of intervention and coordination at
5:13 5:16 the border has created an untenable
5:16 5:18 situation for Illinois the White House
5:18 5:20 blaming Congress for not acting and
5:20 5:22 saying they've accelerated work permits
5:22 5:25 and provided a billion to cities
5:25 5:28 Nationwide I don't want them there but
5:28 5:30 protests here are growing to have the
5:30 5:33 government come in and dump 300 people
5:33 5:36 right next door to me it is not fair the
5:36 5:38 Latino pilson neighborhood was the first
5:38 5:40 to build a shelter for migrants and
5:40 5:42 they're now preparing a new shelter to
5:42 5:44 take up to a thousand more Community
5:44 5:46 leaders tell us they want to help
5:46 5:47 migrants but they're worried about
5:47 5:50 resources for poor Chicagoans too I'm
5:50 5:53 concerned uh because of the a low
5:53 5:55 response by the for the federal and
5:55 5:57 state government when winter comes not
5:57 5:59 only will you not have enough room for
5:59 6:01 migrants who also might not have enough
6:01 6:03 room to take in some homeless people who
6:03 6:05 live on the streets here in pilson
6:05 6:08 American citizens absolutely we met
6:08 6:10 these migrants sleeping outside a police
6:10 6:12 station Stephanie tells us she boarded a
6:12 6:14 free bus in Texas because she thought
6:14 6:18 Chicago had a refugee camp some of us
6:18 6:20 have been here weeks she said she told
6:20 6:22 us she's desperate for a job to support
6:22 6:25 her one-year-old son back in Venezuela

6:32 6:34 assessment team is here in the city

7:16 7:19 soldier when the Missile hit there was a
7:19 7:21 coffee shop here she
7:21 7:24 says Ukraine's president zelitsky called
7:24 7:26 today's attack a deliberate and brutal
7:26 7:27 Act of
7:27 7:30 terrorism while at any economic Forum in
7:30 7:32 Russia President Putin took no
7:32 7:35 responsibility for any of this he
7:35 7:38 claimed Russia did not start the war in
7:38 7:39 Ukraine just the
7:39 7:44 opposite he says Russia is trying to end
7:44 7:46 it that's his message to the Russian
7:46 7:48 people even though Russia invaded
7:48 7:51 Ukraine and is continuing its daily
7:51 7:54 attacks that today devastated a sleepy
7:54 7:57 Village president zalinski said today
7:57 7:59 that President Biden assured him of
7:59 8:01 Honor ongoing us support even though
8:01 8:03 it's still an open question if Congress
8:03 8:06 will pass more military aid for Ukraine
8:06 8:08 Lester okay Richard thank you in
8:08 8:10 Wisconsin tonight A man is under arrest
8:10 8:12 for a second time in one day for

8:16 8:19 the governor Jesse kurur joins us Jesse
8:19 8:21 it was a pretty alarming scene
8:21 8:24 there that's right Lester details still
8:24 8:26 coming in but so far officials say that
8:26 8:28 a shirtless man with a holstered handgun
8:28 8:30 went in to the Wisconsin state capital
8:30 8:33 yesterday demanding to see Governor Tony
8:33 8:35 iers before he was arrested for openly
8:35 8:37 carrying a firearm into the capital
8:37 8:40 authorities say he later bailed himself
8:40 8:42 out of jail and then hours after the
8:42 8:43 first incident returned to the state
8:43 8:46 capital exterior this time armed with a
8:46 8:49 loaded AK-47 style rifle as well as a
8:49 8:51 collapsible police style baton
8:51 8:53 authorities say the man was taken into
8:53 8:55 custody for a psychiatric evaluation
8:55 8:58 we're also told that at the time of the
8:58 9:00 incident the the governor was not in the
9:00 9:02 capital which does not have metal
9:02 9:04 detectors and this is just the latest
9:04 9:06 high-profile incident involving an
9:06 9:08 elected official last year the governor
9:08 9:10 was allegedly on a Hit List which also
9:10 9:12 purportedly included Senate minority
9:12 9:14 leader Mitch McConnell as well as
9:14 9:16 Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer and

10:07 10:09 per hour it's expected to move over
10:09 10:11 parts of Maine and Atlantic Canada this
10:11 10:14 weekend producing strong winds heavy
10:14 10:16 rain and flooding in New England and we
10:16 10:18 learned today that globally last month
10:18 10:21 was the hottest September on record
10:21 10:24 climate change and El Nino are blamed
10:24 10:27 this follows the hottest July and August
10:27 10:29 one climate scientist called the
10:29 10:32 Summer's heat extraordinary it's those
10:32 10:33 conditions that are contributing to a
10:33 10:36 growing Water Crisis in Louisiana where
10:36 10:38 saltwater is seeping into the
10:38 10:40 Mississippi River here's Sam
10:40 10:43 Brock tonight the race to keep New
10:43 10:45 Orleans drinking water safe as the flow
10:45 10:47 of the Mississippi River might not be
10:47 10:48 strong enough to prevent
10:48 10:51 disaster those in Port sulfur already
10:51 10:53 struggling When We Run The W when I take
10:53 10:57 a bath I feel the I smell the I you can
10:57 10:59 smell it you can feel and smell the salt
10:59 11:01 yes sir when we met Harold Sylvie and
11:01 11:03 his wife Denise they were unloading
11:03 11:05 water for their kids and grandkids how
11:05 11:06 long have you been dealing with us for
11:06 11:09 oh I say a couple of months parts of
11:09 11:11 their Parish under a drinking water
11:11 11:14 advisory even with plaman Parish barging
11:14 11:16 and blending water from Plants Upstream
11:16 11:18 to keep saline levels down in the
11:18 11:20 Region's most populous Parish Jefferson
11:20 11:22 where close to half a million people are
11:22 11:25 potentially set to be affected it's a
11:25 11:26 race to get these pipes down and bring
11:26 11:28 in fresh water do you anticipate having
11:28 11:30 to tell people they can only drink
11:30 11:32 bottled water um we're hoping not we're
11:32 11:35 hoping that this system is able to um
11:35 11:38 connect us up River the Army Corps of
11:38 11:39 Engineers has had some success
11:39 11:42 bolstering an underwater barrier called
11:42 11:44 a sill but following the hottest summer
11:44 11:46 on record and the majority of Louisiana
11:46 11:48 under a state of exceptional drought
11:48 11:50 these emergency steps are only a stop
11:50 11:52 Gap all levels of government are
11:52 11:54 throwing everything we have at this
11:54 11:57 problem and uh unfortunately the the the
11:57 11:59 Silver Bullet is rain we we need we need
11:59 12:02 rain Upstream the Sal water has already
12:02 12:04 gone some 60 or 70 River miles up the
12:04 12:05 Mississippi but that was mostly
12:05 12:08 unimpeded the question now is how much
12:08 12:09 farther will it go in that direction
12:09 12:11 toward New Orleans with the latest
12:11 12:13 projection showing it stopping just
12:13 12:15 short of the major water in her tanks
12:15 12:18 for now and if that holds the biggest
12:18 12:20 population centers could be spared as
12:20 12:22 many still worry about their loved ones
12:22 12:24 having clean drinking water I don't want

1:14 1:16 Nightly News with Lester
1:16 1:19 Holt good evening and welcome a new
1:19 1:21 effort to build a border wall Tonight
1:21 1:23 coming from an unexpected place the
1:23 1:26 White House in an official notice
1:26 1:28 Homeland Security secretary Alejandro
1:28 1:31 mayorcas s there is an acute and
1:31 1:33 immediate need to construct physical
1:33 1:36 barriers to prevent unlawful entries
1:36 1:38 into the United States facing a growing
1:38 1:41 influx of migrants illegally entering
1:41 1:43 the country the administration is waving
1:43 1:46 26 federal laws in order to allow more
1:46 1:49 wall construction using money allocated
1:49 1:52 before President Biden took office it's
1:52 1:54 a sharp policy shift for a president who
1:54 1:56 once called a wall spanning the southern
1:56 1:59 border a waste of time the new
1:59 2:01 construction ction will be along a
2:01 2:03 stretch of Border in Star County Texas
2:03 2:05 and tonight former president Trump who
2:05 2:09 built his successful 2016 presidential
2:09 2:11 campaign around a promise to build a
2:11 2:14 border wall is claiming Vindication
2:14 2:16 Peter Alexander now with late
2:16 2:19 details tonight a major reversal the
2:19 2:20 Biden Administration announcing it is
2:20 2:23 waving 26 federal laws to permit more
2:23 2:25 border wall Construction in southern
2:25 2:28 Texas amid a record 3 million migrants
2:28 2:30 crossing the border in the past year
2:30 2:32 the head of Homeland Security Alejandro
2:32 2:34 mayorcas overnight declaring there is
2:34 2:36 presently an acute and immediate need to
2:36 2:39 construct physical barriers and Roads to
2:39 2:41 prevent illegal Crossings in Star County
2:41 2:44 Texas but President Biden today appeared
2:44 2:46 to contradict his own DHS secretary do
2:46 2:49 you believe the board of wall first no
2:49 2:51 insisting his administration is not
2:51 2:53 building more wall because of the surge
2:53 2:55 in migrants but because they were
2:55 2:57 required by law to spend money Congress
2:57 2:59 allocated during the Trump
2:59 3:01 Administration they have to use the
3:01 3:03 money for what was appropriate I can't
3:03 3:05 stop that speaking in direct
3:05 3:06 contradiction to what his
3:06 3:09 own hear I'm speaking for the president
3:09 3:11 I'm saying that he has said that he does
3:11 3:13 not believe a border wall is effective
3:13 3:15 and late today this from the DHS
3:15 3:17 secretary traveling in Mexico City there
3:17 3:21 is no new Administration policy with
3:21 3:23 respect to the border wall still it
3:23 3:25 comes after the president repeatedly
3:25 3:27 slammed the wall and former president
3:27 3:30 Trump during the campaign there will not
3:30 3:33 be another foot of Wall constructed on
3:33 3:35 my Administration tonight Mr Trump
3:35 3:37 arguing he's been proven right posting
3:37 3:39 there are only two things that have
3:39 3:42 consistently worked wheels and walls
3:42 3:44 will Joe Biden apologize to me and
3:44 3:48 America for taking so long to get moving
3:48 3:50 the latest NBC News poll shows Americans
3:50 3:53 give Republicans an 18-point advantage
3:53 3:55 when asked who would better handle
3:55 3:58 immigration the largest ever deficit for
3:58 4:00 Democrats on this issue
4:00 4:02 and Peter joining me now Peter the
4:02 4:03 administration tonight announced it will
4:03 4:06 resume deportation flights for migrants
4:06 4:08 from one country Lester that's right
4:08 4:09 border officials are currently seeing
4:09 4:12 more migrants from Venezuela than from
4:12 4:14 anywhere else and now they will once
4:14 4:16 again face those deportation flights
4:16 4:18 this comes after the bid Administration
4:18 4:21 gave temporary legal status to half a
4:21 4:23 million Venezuelans Lester Peter
4:23 4:25 Alexander at the White House thanks and
4:25 4:27 increasingly the migrant crisis is being
4:27 4:29 felt far from the border including City
4:29 4:32 like Chicago where officials say
4:32 4:35 resources are running thin Julia anley
4:35 4:36 is there
4:36 4:39 tonight tonight officials warning
4:39 4:41 Chicago is approaching a Breaking Point
4:41 4:44 tents full of desperate migrants lining
4:44 4:46 Chicago's iconic lak Shore Drive migrant
4:46 4:49 shelters inside O'Hare Airport a total
4:49 4:52 of 177,000 migrants showing up since
4:52 4:54 last August and officials expect 1,200
4:54 4:57 per day to keep coming now Chicago is
4:57 4:59 building sprawling tint camps to get
4:59 5:02 migrants off the streets of places like
5:02 5:05 this ahead of the cold winter months
5:05 5:07 Democratic Illinois governor JB pritsker
5:07 5:09 slamming President Biden for not doing
5:09 5:12 enough writing the federal government's
5:12 5:13 lack of intervention and coordination at
5:13 5:16 the border has created an untenable
5:16 5:18 situation for Illinois the White House
5:18 5:20 blaming Congress for not acting and
5:20 5:22 saying they've accelerated work permits
5:22 5:25 and provided a billion to cities
5:25 5:28 Nationwide I don't want them there but
5:28 5:30 protests here are growing to have the
5:30 5:33 government come in and dump 300 people
5:33 5:36 right next door to me it is not fair the
5:36 5:38 Latino pilson neighborhood was the first
5:38 5:40 to build a shelter for migrants and
5:40 5:42 they're now preparing a new shelter to
5:42 5:44 take up to a thousand more Community
5:44 5:46 leaders tell us they want to help
5:46 5:47 migrants but they're worried about
5:47 5:50 resources for poor Chicagoans too I'm
5:50 5:53 concerned uh because of the a low
5:53 5:55 response by the for the federal and
5:55 5:57 state government when winter comes not
5:57 5:59 only will you not have enough room for
5:59 6:01 migrants who also might not have enough
6:01 6:03 room to take in some homeless people who
6:03 6:05 live on the streets here in pilson
6:05 6:08 American citizens absolutely we met
6:08 6:10 these migrants sleeping outside a police
6:10 6:12 station Stephanie tells us she boarded a
6:12 6:14 free bus in Texas because she thought
6:14 6:18 Chicago had a refugee camp some of us
6:18 6:20 have been here weeks she said she told
6:20 6:22 us she's desperate for a job to support
6:22 6:25 her one-year-old son back in Venezuela
6:25 6:27 the Texas governor says he will continue
6:27 6:29 busing migrants to Sanctuary cities to
6:29 6:32 relieve border towns tonight A DHS
6:32 6:34 assessment team is here in the city
6:34 6:37 Lester Julia Angley thank you this was a
6:37 6:38 devastating day in Ukraine where
6:38 6:41 officials say a Russian missile killed
6:41 6:43 more than 50 people Richard angle with
6:43 6:44 late
6:44 6:47 details a huge Russian missile
6:47 6:49 effectively wiped this tiny village off
6:49 6:51 the map today flattening what was Main
6:51 6:54 Street in huza in eastern Ukraine
6:54 6:56 there's hardly a trace of the grocery
6:56 6:58 and coffee shop that were here residents
6:58 7:01 say they were only 330 people living in
7:01 7:04 the village in an instant more than 50
7:04 7:05 were
7:05 7:07 killed relatives from the surrounding
7:07 7:09 areas rushed over as soon as they could
7:09 7:12 search for loved ones Valeria herco
7:12 7:14 looking for her mother says the
7:14 7:16 villagers were holding a memorial for a
7:16 7:19 soldier when the Missile hit there was a
7:19 7:21 coffee shop here she
7:21 7:24 says Ukraine's president zelitsky called
7:24 7:26 today's attack a deliberate and brutal
7:26 7:27 Act of
7:27 7:30 terrorism while at any economic Forum in
7:30 7:32 Russia President Putin took no
7:32 7:35 responsibility for any of this he
7:35 7:38 claimed Russia did not start the war in
7:38 7:39 Ukraine just the
7:39 7:44 opposite he says Russia is trying to end
7:44 7:46 it that's his message to the Russian
7:46 7:48 people even though Russia invaded
7:48 7:51 Ukraine and is continuing its daily
7:51 7:54 attacks that today devastated a sleepy
7:54 7:57 Village president zalinski said today
7:57 7:59 that President Biden assured him of
7:59 8:01 Honor ongoing us support even though
8:01 8:03 it's still an open question if Congress
8:03 8:06 will pass more military aid for Ukraine
8:06 8:08 Lester okay Richard thank you in
8:08 8:10 Wisconsin tonight A man is under arrest
8:10 8:12 for a second time in one day for
8:12 8:14 bringing a gun to the state capital
8:14 8:16 where officials say he was trying to see
8:16 8:19 the governor Jesse kurur joins us Jesse
8:19 8:21 it was a pretty alarming scene
8:21 8:24 there that's right Lester details still
8:24 8:26 coming in but so far officials say that
8:26 8:28 a shirtless man with a holstered handgun
8:28 8:30 went in to the Wisconsin state capital
8:30 8:33 yesterday demanding to see Governor Tony
8:33 8:35 iers before he was arrested for openly
8:35 8:37 carrying a firearm into the capital
8:37 8:40 authorities say he later bailed himself
8:40 8:42 out of jail and then hours after the
8:42 8:43 first incident returned to the state
8:43 8:46 capital exterior this time armed with a
8:46 8:49 loaded AK-47 style rifle as well as a
8:49 8:51 collapsible police style baton
8:51 8:53 authorities say the man was taken into
8:53 8:55 custody for a psychiatric evaluation
8:55 8:58 we're also told that at the time of the
8:58 9:00 incident the the governor was not in the
9:00 9:02 capital which does not have metal
9:02 9:04 detectors and this is just the latest
9:04 9:06 high-profile incident involving an
9:06 9:08 elected official last year the governor
9:08 9:10 was allegedly on a Hit List which also
9:10 9:12 purportedly included Senate minority
9:12 9:14 leader Mitch McConnell as well as
9:14 9:16 Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer and
9:16 9:19 remember Whitmer was also the intended
9:19 9:22 victim of a kidnapping plot back in 2020

9:40 9:42 watched officials say the 18-year-old
9:42 9:45 suspect has been charged with murder and

9:51 9:54 Frank James had pleaded guilty to 10
9:54 9:57 counts of terrorism and a gun charge the

9:59 10:02 remarkably all the victims survived
10:02 10:04 tonight tropical storm Philipe churning
10:04 10:07 North with maximum winds up to 50 miles
10:07 10:09 per hour it's expected to move over
10:09 10:11 parts of Maine and Atlantic Canada this
10:11 10:14 weekend producing strong winds heavy
10:14 10:16 rain and flooding in New England and we
10:16 10:18 learned today that globally last month
10:18 10:21 was the hottest September on record
10:21 10:24 climate change and El Nino are blamed
10:24 10:27 this follows the hottest July and August
10:27 10:29 one climate scientist called the
10:29 10:32 Summer's heat extraordinary it's those
10:32 10:33 conditions that are contributing to a
10:33 10:36 growing Water Crisis in Louisiana where
10:36 10:38 saltwater is seeping into the
10:38 10:40 Mississippi River here's Sam
10:40 10:43 Brock tonight the race to keep New
10:43 10:45 Orleans drinking water safe as the flow
10:45 10:47 of the Mississippi River might not be
10:47 10:48 strong enough to prevent
10:48 10:51 disaster those in Port sulfur already
10:51 10:53 struggling When We Run The W when I take
10:53 10:57 a bath I feel the I smell the I you can
10:57 10:59 smell it you can feel and smell the salt
10:59 11:01 yes sir when we met Harold Sylvie and
11:01 11:03 his wife Denise they were unloading
11:03 11:05 water for their kids and grandkids how
11:05 11:06 long have you been dealing with us for
11:06 11:09 oh I say a couple of months parts of
11:09 11:11 their Parish under a drinking water
11:11 11:14 advisory even with plaman Parish barging
11:14 11:16 and blending water from Plants Upstream
11:16 11:18 to keep saline levels down in the
11:18 11:20 Region's most populous Parish Jefferson
11:20 11:22 where close to half a million people are
11:22 11:25 potentially set to be affected it's a
11:25 11:26 race to get these pipes down and bring
11:26 11:28 in fresh water do you anticipate having
11:28 11:30 to tell people they can only drink
11:30 11:32 bottled water um we're hoping not we're
11:32 11:35 hoping that this system is able to um
11:35 11:38 connect us up River the Army Corps of
11:38 11:39 Engineers has had some success
11:39 11:42 bolstering an underwater barrier called
11:42 11:44 a sill but following the hottest summer
11:44 11:46 on record and the majority of Louisiana
11:46 11:48 under a state of exceptional drought
11:48 11:50 these emergency steps are only a stop
11:50 11:52 Gap all levels of government are
11:52 11:54 throwing everything we have at this
11:54 11:57 problem and uh unfortunately the the the
11:57 11:59 Silver Bullet is rain we we need we need
11:59 12:02 rain Upstream the Sal water has already
12:02 12:04 gone some 60 or 70 River miles up the
12:04 12:05 Mississippi but that was mostly
12:05 12:08 unimpeded the question now is how much
12:08 12:09 farther will it go in that direction
12:09 12:11 toward New Orleans with the latest
12:11 12:13 projection showing it stopping just
12:13 12:15 short of the major water in her tanks
12:15 12:18 for now and if that holds the biggest
12:18 12:20 population centers could be spared as
12:20 12:22 many still worry about their loved ones
12:22 12:24 having clean drinking water I don't want
12:24 12:26 them to get sick if anything happens
