ing the states should not have a say and that border crossings come under Federal jurisdiction it's been a wild week for the legislation on Monday the Supreme Court indefinitely extended a temporary block on Tuesday the high court making a decision giving the law the green light to move ahead but just hours later a federal appeals court blocked the law from taking effect and today that three-judge panel appearing skeptical as they heard arguments from the state they have yet to issue a ruling th
e contentious law drawing sharp backlash the president of Mexico saying the country will not accept any deportations from Texas if the law were to take effect NBC's Morgan chesky is at the border as confusion mounts amid an impend decision tonight A controversial immigration law still on hold 24 hours after the Supreme Court gave the green light for it to begin today a federal appeals court holding a hearing over the Texas law known as sb4 which allows state and local authorities to arrest migra
nts suspected of crossing the southern border illegally and allow state judges to deport them the judges appearing skeptical of the law this is the first time it seems to me that um a stay has claimed that they have the right to remove illegal aliens Governor Greg Abbott standing by the law saying Texas is taking action because President Biden has not stopped a record number of migrants what's going on in the border is nothing short of catastrophic Texas had already placed razor wire and buoys t
o deter migrants from Crossing illegally moves challenged in court by the Biden Administration so far in 2024 most illegal Crossings have been in Arizona and California a trend some border officials tell NBC News is due to those tougher policies in Texas Zapata County Sheriff ramundo delos is in favor of the new law as before I do support it what we're targeting is the the the violence the cartel people that want to Violent offenders that want to come across but in Maverick County where crowds o
f migrants converged on Eagle Pass last fall Sheriff Tom schmerber has reservations on its face are you in favor of sb4 not until I get more information how it's going to work and do you know when that will be no I don't the sheriff concerned over where arrested migrants would go his Detention Center already at capacity and we're here in the middle trying to see what's going to happen you know but uh it's more like more like politics between the state and the federal government that's that's the
way I see it and where does that put you in the middle like like it's not they're not uh concerned about us it's concerned about them and Morgan chesky joins us now from the US Mexico border in Eagle Pass Texas Morgan despite this new law Texas still has the legal authority to arrest and prosecute migrants is that right yeah Ellison they do they've been arresting thousands of migrants in fact over the last several years but it's the way in which they do so that makes all of the difference here
they've been arresting them on Criminal Trespass misdemeanor charges when migrants cross over and are found on someone's private ranch or private property uh a a misdemeanor charge this s sp4 would make uh crossing the border illegally a state crime and not a federal one and that is why we're seeing this legal back and forth playing out right in front of us here Governor Greg Abbott saying though that uh even without S4 being in effect he will continue of course to pursue uh migrants for those C
riminal Trespass charges which are misdemeanors Allison Morgan chesky thank you turning now to to breaking news the first plane chartered by the Florida government carrying US citizens from Haiti is back in Florida the plane landed moments ago at Orlando Sanford International Airport you can see it there it's reported that children are among the group evacuated today NBC's guad Venegas joins us now from that airport guad what more do we know about this flight from Haiti to Florida who was on it
how many Ellison as you mentioned this is the first of many flight that are going to be chartered by the state here in Florida in just minutes the individuals on that plane are going to make their way through this baggage claim area and the state has set up a help center over behind us here there's a lot of State resources here including the Red Cross also an area for children to get some help now this is what we know the state has identified more than 500 US citizens this in cooperation with th
e state department of those 360 are Floridians we know that on this first flight they have 14 Floridians that have been repatriated so it's going to take a lot of flights and what they say is that it's been very challenging for them to be able to find the individuals these US citizens that have been trapped in Haiti because remember there hasn't been any commercial flights for over two weeks so they have to go door too using private security that has been hired in Haiti and then get them to an a
rea where they tell us today they use the helicopter to then transport them to the landing area where the plane was able to take off so there's a lot of logistics a lot of challenges they mentioned earlier today the governor was here with his team uh they said for example there was a roadblock set up by police today that created a huge challenge they had to get over that just to get to that plane so all of these challenges to get the first 14 now they set all of this up for more flights to keep
coming in they intend to at least get out 360 Floridians but what they say is that as they get the individuals to the planes they're going to use any extra space to bring in some of the other individuals because they have identified about 500 US citizens asking for help to get out of the country now Ellison I should also say that there's another mission done by the state department where they're using helicopters to transfer people from Haiti into the Dominican Republic that's a separate mission
where they're also trying to get US citizens out of Haiti Ellison guad Venegas with that breaking news thank you we are also following a massive Manhunt in Idaho tonight authorities there are searching for an inmate who escaped with the help of an unknown gunman while he was being transferred from a hospital back to prison three officers were shot while they fled NBC News correspondent Dana Griffin has the late breaking details tonight the Urgent man hunt underway for an escaped inmate and an a

st on these storms now I like to call this second winter you know after you get that first blast of spring and everyone's like oh it's over and then you're like no it's not uh that snow is now roaring through the Northeast I mean these are like you know snow squalls that are going through lowering visibility putting down a quick inch at the higher elevations so this storm exits it'll hit Maine later on tonight then we focus our attention on this next batch of snow that's going to be coming down
it doesn't look like much now it'll actually get stronger as we go throughout you know the end of this week and into the upcoming weekend already winter weather advisories Bismark all the way through Minneapolis and there'll be a plowable snow as we go throughout tomorrow into tomorrow night across North Dakota Minneapolis uh looks like Friday morning is when the slipperiest conditions will be from you Central and North Michigan it looks like as we go throughout Friday night and then Friday nigh
t and Saturday morning Northern New England's going to get hit hard by this so kind of let me time this out for you so as we go throughout the day tomorrow mostly up in the Dakotas rain in the South these two storms will eventually combine as we go through Friday night and what a mess I mean Friday evening is going to pour throughout all of the southeast and then it's a really ugly Saturday morning Washington DC to New York it's just a day to stay indoors it's going to pour it's going to be cold
Northern New England will get heavy wet snow out of that that too and Allison I know I teased yesterday this epic you know 7-Day period of snow possible in Dakotas into Minnesota and that's still the case this we're going to have that storm I just mentioned and then a big one Sunday Monday possibility of one to two feet throughout this region so we'll keep an eye on that to for the poor people that have to deal with that too all right Bill Karens thank you next tonight an explosive hearing on C
apitol Hill today in the house impeachment inquiry into President Biden Witnesses both supporting and refuting claims that Biden was involved in his son Hunter Biden's business dealings NBC News Capitol Hill correspondent Ryan Nobles has more do you tonight a fiery inflection point in the impeachment inquiry into President Joe Biden excuse me sir excuse me sir that I Mr balinsky this is my time House Republicans holding a hearing designed to feature Hunter Biden who had asked to give public test
imony but declined to appear instead the committee heard from a pair of former Hunter by business associates who testified despite President Biden's denials he was involved in his son's businesses he was an active aware enabler who met with business associates such as myself to further the business they say Joe Biden participated in person and on speaker phone in meetings and dinners with Hunter's foreign business partners Hunter's former business associate Jason galanis testifying from prison t
he vice president said hello some pleasantries and I hope you had safe travels and then said quot okay you be good to my boy but Democrats firing back saying there was no evidence of a crime with any luck today marks the end of perhaps the most spectacular failure in the history of congressional investigations the effort to find a high crime or misdemeanor committed by Joe Biden and then to impeach him for it Democrats invited Lev parnis a one-time associate of former president Trump's attorney
Rudy Giuliani who testified that he was tasked with digging up dirt on Biden business ventures in Ukraine I found precisely zero evidence of the Biden's corruption in Ukraine in an exclusive interview parnis accused Republicans of being willing accompli of the Kremlin they're not getting down to the truth all they're doing is pushing the same Russian narrative and propaganda and tonight oversight committee chairman James comr saying that he will invite President Biden to testify at an upcoming h
earing Ellison Ryan Nobles on Capitol Hill thank you you turning now to former president Trump's legal battles new developments tonight when it comes to the New York civil fraud case and his appeal to the Supreme Court for immunity in the election interference case this comes as president Trump seeks to delay his cases ahead of the 2024 presidential election let's bring in former Federal prosecutor Katie tresi and Kelly Heyman trial attorney and legal analyst they're here to argue the merits of
both the prosecutors and defense in these cases uh Katie let's start with you and specifically the New York civil fraud case attorney general Leticia James has responded to claims from Trump's team in regards to their claims that he is unable to come up with this Bond money she said this in part quote if defendants were truly unable to provide an undertaking they had a minimum should have consented to have the real estate interest held by Supreme Court to satisfy the Judgment she went on to say
yet defendants Supply no documentary evidence that demonstrates precisely what real property they offered to sh itties on what terms that property was offered or precisely why the shes were unwilling uh to accept unwilling six to accept the assets I think I'm guessing that six is a typo on our end but the Crux of this quote you were a federal prosecutor is that a strong argument and what are the odds of Trump's property actually being seized well I think it's a tough sell for the Attorney Genera
l's office because this bond is so unprecedented and so high and so essentially what Trump's team has been saying is that they've talked to 30 companies they're not willing to give him a bond in this amount and the appell at court has very significant authority to wave the requirement of the bond or to reduce it to a lower amount so that the appeal can proceed and so the law is really on Trump's side in terms of the appell at Court's discretion to make that decision and they further make the poi
nt that there's really no chance that he is Judgment proof he does have real estate assets but for purposes of securing the bond the bond companies want liquid assets and cash so he's not able to provide that to obtain that Bond so I think it's a tough sell for her but certainly the call is with the appell court on that okay yeah so can I mean from the outside as someone who does not have any sort of legal background this just looks like a he said she said situation where the Attorney General is
saying you can pay this and then they're saying no we can't and budgeting the complexities of what finances actually look like aren't always easy to clearly lay out I mean where does ultimately the burden of proof fall or is there a burden of proof I guess for either side to take appell at court and say no I swear we can pay they can pay it or I swear we can't right it's looks like when you look at this it's being showed out to the American people and kind of waigh what do you think it should b
e is this right or wrong but in the court of law ultimately it's going to be their decision based on the facts and evidence of whether he has to do that now the argument is that no he is required to do this under New York law and he has to do it and then the other side of the argument is that the fact that we should still be able to proceed in appeal that it's not fair that we have to put up this money before we get the opportunity to appeal this because if in fact we do win then what happens at
that point then all of our money is tied up as as well that this is basically not fair for them to do that to them okay so let's talk a little bit about Trump's immunity claims his lawyers uh wrote this in part to the Supreme Court uh we had put this quote up they said denial of criminal immunity would incapacitate every future president with the facto blackmail and extortion while in office and condemn him to years of post office trauma at the hands of political opponents Kelly I will start wi
th you on this I mean when we talk about Trump's legal issues we often use the word unprecedented right because they are but then when we're talking about this idea of immunity and the concept in general of sovereign immunity that comes from the UK and we do have laws in the United States that are based on that Doctrine uh be it I believe it's the feris doctrine that was a 1950 Supreme Court ruling as it relates to US military members and then also another case as it relates to federal employees
and tort laws that I believe the Trump legal team actually cited during the egene Carroll case when the Supreme Court is considering this where do they start when they're trying to formulate their arguments either agreeing or disagreeing do they have a lot of case law to refer to to make a decision here the other case law we had some um issues before with Nixon when this came up as well prior cases as well but we have to look at what exactly Trump is saying Trump's argument is that he has absol
ute immunity that that broad very broad so as a president he can do basically anything but in the law people need to be held accountable for their actions and no one is ultimately Above the Law so the Supreme Court is going to hear these oral arguments listen to their side of the argument that they has this General immunity and then also listen to the other side of the argument where in fact needs there's certain limitations that no one should have just this General broad as a president they can
do whatever they want and then also the fact was he in his official capacity so when he was giving that speech was he acting as a president of the United States was that his duty or was this more the speech more like a political rally and that he wasn't doing it in his official capacity that's going to be another key issue for the Supreme Court as well okay so Katie the special counsel Jack Smith his brief is due we're just ticking through all of the cases here but his brief is due on April 8th
he's previously said that immunity should not be granted we expect him to stick to that position but in your view what are special Council Jack Smith's strongest arguments here well the immunity issue is very interesting from a constitutional perspective because the Supreme Court has never essentially laid out the outer perimeter of a criminal liability of a president and so when we're looking at when a president is office there they're an entire branch of government unto one person so there is
many decisions they have to make which are discretionary and which they can't be held accountable for criminally at least at this point so Jack Smith's point is that essentially that there shouldn't be any sort of blanket immunity but I think the bigger question is where does the Supreme Court draw the line in terms of the outer perimeter of the president's official duties because for instance if you have a president making military calls and people die in a military operation because of a bad
call do they have any sort of amenability to being prosecuted for like a negligent homicide that would be a problem if you're saying that there's absolutely no immunity for decisions made by a president and certainly there is but the question is how far does that extend out so I think Jack Smith's position is going to be that there is maybe some form of immunity for official acts but that the perimeter needs to be set outside of what these acts January 6th essentially implicated for for the pres
ident so it's very complicated constitutionally but it will impact every single one of Trump's cases especially if they rule favorably for him which I don't think a lot of people are expecting but it's certainly possible all right Katie Kelly thank you both so much we really appreciate your time and insights turning now to power and politics and the big primary battles is playing out in several States none more critical than the state of Ohio where the Trump backed Bernie Moreno won the state's
Republican Senate nomination after fending off a late Surge from state senator Matt Dolan Moreno's Victory helped by Trump's endorsement the former president headlining a rally for him last week Moreno thanking Trump in his victory speech I want to thank president Trump for all he did for me for this campaign for his unwavering support for his love of this country Moreno's Victory uh excuse me we're going to bring in NBC News correspondent Jesse kersch who is in Cleveland Ohio and then Von Hilla
rd who is in Phoenix Arizona Jesse let's start with you uh there in the Buckeye state Trump's backing and his late push for Moreno seems to have made uh for a decisive Victory is the sense there that all of the credit for Moreno's Victory goes to him but not Trump yeah so I can tell you Ellison that we've spoken with voters in the days leading up to this race and we've heard a range of opinions from people on the relevance of the Trump endorsement so there certainly some people out there who say
that the former president's endorsement was not a make or break thing for them when they were deciding between candidates however our exit polling from the primary yesterday shows Ohio Republican voters in yesterday's primary by and large wanted to see the next senator for the state of Ohio being someone who supports the former president so at minimum there's a connective tissue uh that people seem to have SE that people seem to have between wanting to see the the senator be aligned with the fo
rmer president whether or not that means they needed to see the the senator the the next senator be the person who explicitly got the endorsement of the former president H uh and with the senate in a tight balance of power how is the Republican Party feeling about Moreno's changes or chances rather of unseating the Democrat Senator Brown yeah so going into this you had going into the primary yesterday you had two candidates who were getting a lot of attention Moreno and then on the other side of
this you had state senator Matt Dolan who was being backed by the state's Governor if you think of more The Establishment wing of the Republican party and the governor had said that he believes that Matt Dolan was had the best chance of the Republican candidates in the race of unseating sherid brown so to be determined if that was the correct calculus or not I can tell you that at least some in the Democratic party think that Bernie Moreno is the best opponent for them because there was a democ
ratic group that funded advertising to try to boost Moreno in the primary to make them make him the opponent up against sh Brown in the fall Ellison V I want to bring you in over there in Phoenix the exit polls that Jesse just mentioned two numbers really stood out from those among Moreno's backers it was a whopping 93% approving of Trump's job as president and then 91% said that it is important that the next Senator backs Trump is the Trump campaign feeling like this absolutely stamps him as be
ing the guy who is truly in charge of the Republican Party absolutely this is affirmation yet again that this is Donald Trump's Republican party Ellison Jesse was there in 2022 as well when JD Vance was running for the US Senate in a competitive Republican primary for their other Senate seed and Donald Trump and dor JD Vance and JD Vance won the race but we saw that not only in Ohio we saw that in places like here in Arizona where Carrie Lake Rose to prominence in her 2022 governor's race she ma
y be lost in the general election but like so many Republican primaries around the country in 2022 it was the Trump back candidates that won almost every single time in the major governor and Senate races this go around in 2024 you're seeing that again but Ohio's kind of a different ball game because it was one of the only actually competitive primaries this go around it's pretty much the Trump endorsed candidate and nobody else Republic running for the Republican nomination you could say after
Donald Trump's 9 years uh this Republican party it's a Republican party more In His Image than ever before Allison and with the primaries sort of a foregone conclusion Trump getting 79% of the vote in Ohio what is the Trump campaign strategy moving forward van right this is also the issue that Jesse was discussing there and when you look at those poll numbers or the exit polls coming out Donald Trump is very extremely popular within the Republican Party among the Republican electorate but that t
% is notable or even if you look here in Arizona which had its presidential primary yesterday more than 20% of arizonans selected Nikki Haley despite her not being in the race anymore and it's those very voters as well as independent voters in these States from Arizona Michigan Wisconsin Georgia that cost Donald Trump the first time around in the 2020 election and so he has to make inroads with those very voters and so far there's little evidence that he's doing that and we've got just over sev
en months left in what is going to be a high stakes intense rematch between Joe Biden and Donald Trump trump is going to have to move some of these numbers he has to expand his appeal outside of that Republican party base of the electorate yeah and we've already seen the Biden campaign try to make a direct appeal to those Nicki Haley voters saying hey Trump says that he doesn't want your vote come to us we'll see how all of it shakes out Jesse kersch in Ohio Von hilard in Arizona thank you both
we appreciate it turning now to a tragic story out of Chicago where an 11-year-old boy is dead after police say he was stabbed to death while trying to protect his pregnant mother police say the mother had an order of protection against the alleged murderer who was out on parole for just one day and had multiple parole violations NBC News correspondent Adrien brus has more and we want to warn you this story does contain mentions of domestic violence and many of the details are disturbing a young

ly to be released again a few weeks later on March 12th one day before the deadly attack this gentleman was paroled after being sent back to prison uh in February for viol parole and VI violating a protective order is utterly Beyond me but it absolutely could be prevented in this case I think the parole board has to be held accountable now Jaden is remembered as a devoted son and brother who played football had a passion for acting and who was the heartbeat of his dance school when I was receivi
ng my scholarship in Gus I was like oh my god seriously I always wanted to go here and they love him honoring Jaden with a video and a message we love you Jaden you will forever be in our hearts and Adrien brus joins us now from Chicago Adrian this is just a gut-wrenching story horrific in every way and that little boy just such a beautiful spirit What charges though is this suspect now facing and do we know how the mother is physically doing tonight it is a tough story we will start with his mo
m I spoke with the director of the the dance school and she told me Jaden's mom and her unborn child are home recovering as far as brand the suspect in this case he's expected to appear before a judge next month he's facing charges of murder attempted murder and home invasion also in the home on the day of the that attack was Jaden's six-year-old brother who was unharmed but Ellison as you mentioned so much joy you see his excitement when he learned he received a scholarship to 10 Gus where he s
pecialized in all styles of dance including ballet back to you Jaden is the name we will certainly remember tonight Adrien brought us thank you so much we appreciate you and your reporting still ahead tonight A Deadly home explosion in Utah the blast leveling a house outside of Salt Lake City who authorities say was inside at the time plus an update on the children's book author accused of poisoning her husband why authorities believe her mother might have been involved in that death and another
case from 2006 and one student's workload Landing his father in handcuffs will play you the repeated calls that Dad made to police over the amount of work being assigned to his son who's in elementary school stay with [Music] us we're back now with another twist in the case against Utah mother Corey richens who's accused of poisoning and killing her husband in 2022 in newly unsealed documents investigators say rich and's mother might have played a role a key role in her son-in-law's death they'
re even seeking to link her to the Unexpected death of her own romantic partner back in 2006 NBC's Dana Griffin joins us again with the latest on this case tonight new details revealing that police believe the Utah author wife and mother accused of poisoning her husband in 2022 may have had help from her own mother a newly unsealed search warrant affidavit shows Cory Rich's mother Lisa Darden was at her daughter and son-in-law's house the night they celebrated a new business deal just hours befo
re Eric richens was found dead in the home with five times the lethal dose of fanel Darden speaking to CBS 48 hours just a few weeks ago 3:00 in the morning I got a phone call and it was Corey and she said get up here Something's Happened to Eric the affidavit also telling conversations Darden had with her daughter about her disdain for Eric the warrant included a search of darden's phone records after his death richens went on to write a grief book and speak about him on TV just because he's no
t present here with us physically that doesn't mean he his presence isn't here with us but these new documents also revealing the mother's connection to another death investigators discovering darden's romantic partner died unexpectedly from an oxycodone overdose in 2006 further investigation showing Darden had been made a beneficiary of the woman's estate a short time before her death the detective concluding that based on Lisa darden's proximity to her partner's suspicious overdose death and h
er relationship to Corey it is possible she was involved in planning and orchestrating Eric's death seeing that Mom was with Cory richens the night of her husband's death and seeing that we have two drug overdoses um of Partners that can change things all these years later Darden has not been charged in either case and could not be reached for comment if Lisa Darden mom is charged as an accomplice or a party to the crime of Cory Richard's husband's death then we will I think it's fair to expect
that prosecutors are going to file a motion with the court and say look we want evidence to come in of the prior death of her partner even if she was never charged with it Cory Rich's attorney slamming the allegation saying the fact that Miss Darden significant other was one of the millions that suffered from and ultimately succumbed to opioid addiction is hardly suspicious it's tragic and unfortunately quite common going on to say the fact that Miss Darden was a beneficiary of her romantic part
ner's life insurance policy is also not unique it only demonstrates that her circumstances are no different than most families in America and Dana Griffin joins us now from Los Ang Angeles I mean Dana this story it's hard to keep up with all of the twist and turns could Corey's mom actually face charges for the death of her son-in-law well Ellison that's the big question it's possible because Utah has an accomplished liability law that states if you have Criminal Intent and assisted in any way y
ou could be facing the same punishment as the actual killer but like we mentioned no charges have been filed against Lisa Darden Ellison Dana Griffin thank you again we appreciate it next to a string of aggressive phone calls that landed one Ohio father in handcuffs the man flooding his local police station and his son's Elementary School with calls because he felt like his son was being assigned too much homework NBC News correspondent Shaquille Brewster has those phone calls and more on the ar
