the announcement comes after cnn exclusive reporting that uncovers the police department had hired a department of public safety officer who did not go into the school, even though she was one of the first officers to arrive at the school. that's there in the pictures you're seeing on your screen. she was fired after cnn's report, but the school district police had been informed that she was under investigation back in july. they went ahead and hired her anyway to protect uvalde schoolchildren, some of whom had survived the shooting at robb elementary. shimon prokupecz joins me. it was your reporting earlier this week that exposed the newly hired officer for the school district had been under investigation. you've been doing incredible reporting. what happened today in uvalde? >> reporter: truly shocking. certainly no one expected this. today the school announced that they were suspending the entire police force there, as you said,

pro patrols the schools. they've suspended them and they're going to put them on desk duty. this was certainly a shocking development. not something anyone expected, but something that family members have been wanting for quite some time, jake. >> and it was not justifiering, shimon. one of the department's administrators resigned today as well. tell us about that. >> reporter: yeah, the administrator, a man by the name of ken miller, he's the number three administrator at the school. what he does, this is actually the lieutenant, lieutenant hernandez on your screen, just to be clear. this is the lieutenant who did the vetting of the officer that they hired who eventually got fired from the dps. there's documentation that this lieutenant, miguel hernandez, received a document, received a letter from the dps saying that this officer was urn

investigation, but somehow they still hired him. this is ken miller here on your screen. this is the man who was put on leave and now also resigned. this is us outside the school last week trying to ask him questions. it's not entirely clear why they put him on leave, but it's believed to be connected to the hiring of that officer. so when they put him on leave, he decided that he was going to resign. he's the number three administrator at the school, jake. >> that was him refusing to answer any questions, which is just so symbolic of how all of these uvalde authorities, or many of them, are just refused any accountability or transparency just to even answer basic questions. what's been the response from the families today? >> reporter: tears. i spoke to brett cross, who has been outside the school administration building for the entire week protesting, demanding changes. they were shocked by this. they did not expect this kind of a fallout, certainly, after our story. they're thankful for the information.

but, you know, this is something, jake, as you said, they've been asking for really in the days since the shooting. they've been wanting these officers removed from the schools, they don't trust them, they don't trust them to be around their children. they've also been asking for the administrators to be fired, some of them to be removed from the school. so they truly did not expect this. when you think about this, this is sort of the way the school has kind of behaved, how the administration has behaved really from the first day since the shooting happened, when they refused to answer questions, kind of sort of hiding, not responding to any of our requests for information. and so what really led up to this was the fact that they have been hiding all of this. they knew she was under investigation. they knew this officer came from the dps, the families were asking questions, they refused to answer any of those questions. and now, look, when you think about everything that they've been hiding, and when it comes out this is what happens. they have to fire people, they have to suspend people, they have to force people to resign.

and so all of this happening, really, because of the fight, the fight by the parents, jake. >> so if the school district police force, this four or five officers are no longer on the job, who is in charge of protecting the students in uvalde on monday when school is back in session? >> so it's the dps, the department of public safety. they've come to an agreement since school started here in september that they were going to allow these officers, troopers there, to patrol the schools. but the agreement is based on the fact that none of these officers, these dps officers, who are on scene, 91 of them on scene there on the day of the shooting, as long as none of those officers who were on scene will be patrolling the schools, the families felt it was okay, at least for now, for the dps to be there on the school grounds. but certainly the parents are not comfortable with this. they're asking for more change, and they're going to keep fighting, jake. still so many unanswered questions, certainly with the response by the texas department

of public safety, the other law enforcement officials that were there on scene. when you think about this, jake, we're almost five months into this, and yet this is all still developing. all of this information is just now coming out. just think about how much more there is that hasn't come out. that's what the families are fighting for. >> shimon prokupecz, thank you so much. joining us to discuss, democratic texas state senator roland gutierrez. senator, what do you make of the school district's decision to suspend the school's entire police force? >> well, thank you, jake, first off. i'll tell you that it's a step in the right direction, probably four months too late. the confidence of these families and of the whole city of uvalde has just been ripped apart. there is no confidence in the police department, in the school district or the local police or in the sheriff's department, or for that matter, the department of public safety. let's be real clear, this woman, thanks to shimon's great

reporting, this woman was a dps trooper, and yet we've seen no accountability on their part, no real accountability from the department of public safety. and from the various videos we've seen on your station before, we know that there was 12 dps troopers in that hallway. there's still a lot of work to get done here. >> so there were 12 dps troopers in the hallway. you heard shimon reporting that dps, the department of public safety, is going to continue to be in charge of protecting the students. they've been doing that since the shooting. do you have a message for parents who are worried about their kids' safety at school? >> the parents are very upset, as you know, jake. they've been upset. they want accountability from dps. i mean, obviously in this transitionary period, we're going to have to have somebody secure the schools. those dps troopers better be on high alert and make sure they're doing their jobs appropriately. i think this community needs to

reinvent how we do policing not just at the school district level but the city and county level as well. but let's be clear, we still have a governor who has failed to ask for accountability, jake. even yesterday he put it solely on the school district, saying, we sent them a letter and told them she was under investigation. that is true. that letter was very ambiguous. it didn't say she was under investigation for the incident in uvalde. greg abbott has failed the people in uvalde. he continues to do so. steve mccrawl, the director of public safety, has failed the people of uvalde with a constant campaign of misinformation. it's as if we're living in communist russia. it's very disturbing, jake. >> this comes on the heels of shimon's report, as you noted, that the school police force had hired one of the officers from dps who did not go inside robb elementary school during the shooting, even though she was one of the first on the scene. she has been fired because of shimon's report. doesn't the decision for her to be hired in the first place

suggest that neither the school district, and the school itself, and the police, that none of them are truly understanding how horrifying it is that all these law enforcement officers were at the school doing nothing while these kids were being massacred? >> there is a tremendous disconnect with reality on the ground in uvalde and anything that's coming out of austin or anything from government in general at any level, the local or the state level. you know, i've been there as much as i can, the media certainly has been there. we've seen great investigative reporting. it shouldn't be that way. government is supposed to be able to attempt to solve problems and be transparent with communities, and the biggest thing that has happened in uvalde, jake, is the failure to be transparent.

a lot of that transparency, unfortunately, jake, in my opinion, has begun from the department of public safety and steve mccraw's miscommunications to this community. we've got to be able to bring closure to this, but we can't bring closure until we know everything that's out there. i fear that there's more. >> texas state senator roland gutierrez, thank you so much. i just want to remind viewers what this story is about. this is about 19 children and two adults, teachers, who were gunned down at school, and all of the broken families and parents and siblings and friends after that massacre. just looking at those faces, may their memories be a blessing. coming up, two russians detained in alaska sailed across the arctic ocean in a small boat in order to escape the russian draft. and they're not alone. we're going to go live in kazakhstan where thousands of russian men have been arriving

thousands of men, would-be con scriptees are on the run. they've been abandoning their home and in some cases their families in order to avoid fighting a war against ukraine they do not support. in kazakhstan over 200,000 russians have arrived just this week looking for refuge. >> reporter: russian president vladimir putin's order conscripting men to fight in the war has created draft dodgers. they line up daily in neighboring kazakhstan to register with local authorities. the government says more than 200,000 russians fled to this country in less than two weeks. >> yes, we ran away from russia. >> reporter: they fled moscow last week to escape the draft. >> we don't want this war and we

don't recognize the position of our government. >> reporter: many of russia's land borders choked for weeks with long lines, as citizens run for the exits. draft dodgers traveling by land wait days in line or pay big money for scarce plane tickets to escape. and that's just the first step. everyday more russians as rrivet this train station with their backpacks and all say the same thing, they were afraid they could be sent to fight in ukraine and they abandoned their country on short notice. >> this couple left together. >> did you come because of the mobilization for the war in ukraine? >> it was the final kick for our journey, i guess. >> were you afraid that you would have to go fight in the war? >> yeah.

it's not something i want to participate in. >> reporter: the flood of new arrivals surprising local business owners, like this one in the center of town. >> this gentleman just walked in. is this unusual? >> very unusual. everyday is like this. they come with huge suitcases and they come in here for working and sitting and looking for some a accommodation. >> these are fresh arrivals from russia? >> yes. >> arriving with a backpack on their back. >> reporter: in the city hundreds of miles from the russian border, i spoke with dozens of newly arrived russians, ranging from doctors -- >> if we refuse to go to this war, we should go to the jail. >> reporter: -- to engineers, i.t. specialists and university students. >> you ran away from russia? >> yeah, from mobilization, from military service. >> reporter: most don't want to be identified to protect loved ones still in russia.

>> how can i take part in the war without a wish to win this war? >> reporter: this man says putin's draft left him no other choice but to flee the country, leaving his wife and child behind. >> we do not trust our government. we don't believe in what they say. >> reporter: he says a russian government crackdown on dissent has made protesting futuile, leaving hundreds of thousands of men suddenly adrift, trying to find work and accommodation in foreign countries. >> i am the citizen of the country that started the war. i did not support this war, never did. but somehow i'm still connected because of my passport, and i am at the same time a refugee. >> reporter: russians on the run sharing a collective sense of hopelessness and guilt over the destruction caused by their

government. jake, it's not just individuals that are fleeing. i'm hearing from russians that i'm talking to here that they're saying that their bosses have been sending them across border, that in some cases this appears to be the corporate policy of some russian companies, to send their employees out to also help them escape the draft. and all of this shows us that there is some serious lack of faith and credibility in the current policies, the war policies of the kremlin. >> all right, ivan watson in kazakhstan, thank you so much. here in the united states russians are beginning to seek asylum. earlier this week two russian men arrived by boat in alaska. they apparently departed from russia, crossed the strait and landed on alaska's st. lawrence island. the men were transported to

anchorage to be processed. they're asking to stay in the united states in hopes of avoiding compulsory military service. the embassy is planning to speak to the two men by phone. they say they do not anticipate a continual stream of russians into alaska. republicans in wisconsin want the senate race to be about crime, the democrats want it to be about abortion rights. but voters told cnn that, to them, it's about something else. stay with us. and you got it ?

vulnerable republicans in the senate. they've tried to hit him on his opposition to abortion in ads. on the republican side, more than 60% of tv ad spending against the democrat has been about crime. that's according to ad impact. the number one issue of concern for voters in wisconsin is not abortion and it's not crime. it's the economy and inflation. >> there is a lot on the line. >> reporter: at an abortion rights roundtable this week, wisconsin democratic senate candidate, mandela barnes, says abortion and the economy are connected. >> how do you approach the relationship of those two major issues? >> it's not about balancing. the issue of inflation is one that's impacting people every day, everywhere. whether a person decides to start a family or not. >> reporter: it's a fact also felt in places like portage, wisconsin. they say they're not too concerned with politics but know firsthand how economic issues can make a bad situation worse.

>> we've been closed for almost five months. >> the brothers, dino and nick had to shut down their restaurant in april because of an electrical problem, but then couldn't get the parts they needed because of supply chain issues. what they thought would last a few weeks turned into months. >> the first time we were told, maybe about six weeks, at the longest. then when the time comes, the parts are not here. they are pushed back another two weeks or another month, and we've just been waiting. >> reporter: meanwhile, prices have gone up. >> so you're not reopening into the same environment you were in when you closed? >> no, look at the prices. delivery comes in, you get five or six items. it hurts. we thought the pandemic was a bad time, but for us, this was like triple. >> reporter: it's not just them. >> he took a big sigh but said, guess what, it's happening.

>> reporter: this is the director of business development in portage and says this project was supposed to start in february, but couldn't get going until june or july. >> supply chain issues really have caused the biggest problem, along with the cost of supplies. >> it's also hard to find workers. >> that's what keeps me up at night. if i put a new facility here and they can't find employees, they're not going to be able to stay open. >> reporter: portage sits in columbia county. trump carried it in 2020 by just about 500 votes, and the hotly contested race for u.s. senate this year, the economy might just be the ticket. senator ron johnson tweeting wisconsin gas prices once again have risen above $4, blaming democratic spending. barnes says those like johnson who would do something about it aren't and won't. >> we should be in the driver's seat once again, but not until we have elected officials who are going to put people here in the state first. >> reporter: meanwhile, the

stakes are livelihoods. >> is it sad walking through there and not seeing people? >> yes. late at night i come around, just because -- i don't know, that's me, you know. no lights, nothing. >> reporter: now, dino's does plan to finally reopen soon. meanwhile, here in milwaukee, we're outside the first of two confirmed debates between johnson and barnes. there's been absolutely no daylight between them up to this point in the polls and it's likely why this race has been one of the top three senate races when it comes to advertising in the country over the past month. we'll see if the debate tonight helps move the needle in any way. we're going to hear some of these important issues like abortion, like crime, but also inflation, the economy, education, and more, jake. >> omar jimenez in wisconsin, thank you so much. let's discuss with the panel. johnson's campaign has been

laser focused on attacking barnes on the issue of crime. take a look. >> you can't believe anything mandela barnes says. >> mandela doesn't want to defund the police. >> here is barnes talking about defunding the police. >> defunding isn't necessarily as aggressive as a lot of folks paint it. the minute you talk about reducing a police department's budget, it's like all hell breaks loose. >> so a cnn review by our k-file investigations department of barnes social media and public comments found that he often signalled support for defunding the police. is this a vulnerability for him? >> i think so. i mean, democrats, there's a reason why they sort of changed their tune. there were a lot of activists in the wake of the george floyd protests who came out with this initially, and there was embracing of it. and then jim clyburn was chief among them who said this is a bad political plan. i think you saw the democratic

party, at least in washington, shift its messaging. and you're seeing why this this race in wisconsin. because it is being used against mandela barnes pretty effectively by republicans. it's a close race, i will say every source i've talked to thinks ron johnson has an edge and would be surprised if he didn't pull it out. that said, it's important to keep running the campaigns because you never know. >> i totally agree with your point. the democrats knew this was going to be a vulnerability going back to earlier this year. you saw president biden in the state of the union give a full-throated denunciation of defund the police. what they didn't expect was these reams and reams of videos from the 2020 summer of george floyd, videos that republicans are turning into campaign ads. and you're seeing that take place in wisconsin, where mandela barnes, his lead has turned into a deficit. you're also seeing it in pennsylvania, where fetterman's lead over oz has been

essentially halved as well. >> and on the subject of crime, on the republican side, senator johnson was recorded telling an audience this week that the january 6th attack, which was criminal, was really not that big a deal. take a listen. >> what happened on january 6th, the term insurrection i think is not accurate. you saw the pictures inside the capitol. the armed insurrectionists stayed in the rotunda. >> i don't understand why anyone would be defending this at this point. >> there's more than 200 republican candidates running right now who say that they do not believe the last election was legitimate. some of them even who ran and won in primaries, that they refuse to acknowledge as legitimate. clearly something about this is winning with the republican party and overall 70% of americans right now have said they feel america is a democracy in crisis, it is at risk of failure. republicans and democrats get

that for different reasons, but that may not be polling as the number one issue. but it is driving a lot of the activism and energy we're seeing around the midterm election. >> people staying inside the rope lines, it's a flat-out lie. i was there that day. that is not what happened. >> it's of course a lie. what's interesting is the hypocrisy here because you have ron johnson doing what seems like a fair hit on mandela barnes on the crime issue. meanwhile, he's also defending criminals, ron johnson. >> i think examples on both sides are a really great cautionary tale about the dangers of being held captive by the bubble of your base. ron johnson, first of all, he frames it as the armed insurrectionists, so he can get around the fact that a lot of these people weren't using guns, they were using flagpoles or whatever to beat people. but tucker carlson wants to hear that. the very online right twitter wants to hear that nonsense. and in 2020 the very online left

wanted to hear defund the police, even though there was zero polling to support that position. and this is the consequence you get of pandering to your echo chambers and you don't know how to get out of necessarily, because the feedback you get is from the most intense people on the spectrum, not the people in the middle. >> it is also the danger of only letting the other side set your message. like crime, the conversation about crime plays into law enforcement republican strategies at this moment. you have senator ron johnson, where president biden has gone to wisconsin, called him out for saying that, that society is not responsible for taking care of other people's children. this is during discussions about the pandemic funding for childrens' care and school lunch programs. he has attacked social security, which is a bedrock that typically republicans and democrats both agree on for social spending. so that is the advantage that democrats have, if they're able to pivot and talk about what are

these economic kitchen table issues. >> and then meanwhile, on the subject of learning to speak beyond your -- trying to please the people in your bubble, the republican senate nominee in arizona is learning that that bubble was great for getting him the nomination but it's problematic for getting him into the u.s. senate. and here he is in a debate completely running away from his embrace of donald trump's election lies. >> i think trump won in 2020. >> is joe biden the legitimately elected president of the united states? >> joe biden is absolutely the president. my gosh, have you seen the gas prices lately? >> legitimately elected? >> i'm not trying to trick you. he's duly sworn and certified, he's the legitimate president. >> he just said in his ad he thought trump won. >> he also was for a complete abortion ban and took that back, too. in some ways i can look at this and say nature is healing. you also had mark kelly in the same debate kind of running away from joe biden about the mess on the border. both of these guys are realizing

that simply having a loyal third quarter of the electorate in arizona, which is historically a state where independents in the middle decide these elections, is not a strategy. so they're both -- i mean, it's more glaring and weird for blake masters. >> kelley has known that and run his campaigns and conducted himself in washington all the way along that way. >> he's messaged that way. my only point is that, like, blake masters, in new hampshire, they realize the conspiracy stuff is a great way to get the nomination in a crowded field. it gets trump to back you. but then all of a sudden, you're like, i need more voters. >> this is about states that do not actually border any of our border crossings, where illegal immigration polls so high. they're having debates about whether isis should exist and

who should get reported and any time someone foreign-born comes into the system, the sheriff immediately reports them to i.c.e. that 5%, that 5% of immigration and immigrant population and how the rest of wisconsin feels about them, it's a pivotal 5% in this election. >> i wonder if embracing conspiracy theories is something you can't reverse on in the general election. >> no, absolutely not. what we're seeing blake masters do, it's a hard pivot he's trying to pull off, similar to what we saw baldic try to do a couple of times in new hampshire. this is a proxy of the 2020 election and maybe the 2024 presidential election, right? in arizona you've got kelley, who has been publicly able to distance himself in some ways from biden. he hasn't necessarily been with

manchin, but he's been able to criticize his party's figure. blake masters, that's a lot more difficult to do on the republican side and you saw that last night. >> donald trump lost arizona, okay, and he lost the general election. that's the reality. >> thanks one and all. tonight in a cnn special report, i'm going to talk one-on-one with key witnesses from the january 6 committee's investigation, which airs tonight at 11:00 p.m. eastern only on cnn. coming up, a second 16-year-old iranian girl dead after joining the protests against the regime. this time iranian officials say she intentionally jumped off the building. stay with us. e medicare advantage. ♪wow, uh-huh♪ now she's got a whole e team to help her get the most out of herer plan. ♪wow, uh-huh♪ with coverage that's better than ever for r dental... ...vision... ...prescription drugs and more. advantage: me! can't wait 'til i turn 65!

>> reporter: jake, having covered this influx already for months here in new york city, i can tell you there was certainly this increased sense of urgency coming from new york city mayor eric adams today as he basically updated us on the situation, the latest numbers showing at least over 17,000 asylum seekers have arrived here in new york city since earlier this spring. now, we've seen roughly 61,000 individuals seeking shelter in new york city's shelter system, and we should point out that is a mix of both homeless new yorkers and some of these thousands of asylum seekers, but nonetheless, it is certainly continuing to put pressure on the city's ability to respond, and that is why what we heard today was perhaps some of the most deliberate language that we have heard from mayor eric adams and directly calling out the federal government, calling for more action, including more funding, and also an expedited path for some of these migrants to secure employment to basically pay their way to a job

and into some housing to bring some relief. but we also do remind viewers that these migrants are coming by many means. some are taking up offers from republican governors for a free ride, but a vast majority of them continue to come up on their own, and many of them, at least 7,700, being bus bidsed h by the city of el paso and the mayor sending a message that that needs to stop. >> our shelter system now operating near 100% capacity. and if these trends continue, we will be over 100,000 in the year to come. that's far more than the system was ever designed to handle. this is unsustainable. >> reporter: now, in terms of the efforts that are being led by the city of el paso, my colleague, rosa flores, speaking to the city, in fact, city's deputy manager with a statement saying that the migrants are selecting new york city. the city of el paso is not

selecting new york city, and then goes on to say that nobody is being forced or enticed to actually choose new york city as their destination, but we heard today from the mayor, though, jake, is he's certainly in a very difficult position here. calling on fellow democrats in other cities but also the white house, that this is an all hands on board situation, jake. >> polo sandoval, thank you so much. a bombshell report outlining multiple allegations of sexual, emotional, and verbal abuse by coaches in the women's national soccer league and now there are new reports of misconduct. stay with us. yup, with this amazing new camera. smile!

all of this comes after an investigation found widespread abuse including sexual misconduct within the u.s.-based national women's soccer league. we've heard outrage from some key u.s. players about these revelations of abuse. what's the u.s. soccer president saying? >> well, jake, she's saying the one good thing to come out of this report is that now more players are speaking up. she said three more players have come forward with stories of things that have happened to them and their stories final 'being heard after just years where players were just ignored when they brought forth their allegations, but cohen saying they're going to have to make many changes to address all these problems. >> this was systemic, so we have to do the work with all of our membership and all of the nwsl and our other professional leagues to make sure that we put things into place and take immediate actions as well as actions over the next year to really make sure we can change this dynamic and make sure that

no woman or girl, regardless of the level of play, is subjected to this abuse. >> and this just in, we're hearing from the nfl players union, which is pushing for new protocols on how the league handles concussions, the union wants that change before games this weekend? >> reporter: yeah, that's what they're saying, and everyone was kind of wondering, what's the hold-up right here? we had heard these new concussion protocols were supposed to come out before week five started. week five started on thursday night. but the nfl players association just released a statement moments agency. it says, our union has agreed to change the concussion protocols to protect players from returning to play in the case of any similar incident of what we saw on september 25th. now, september 25th is when tua stumbled but still came back into that game and played against the bills. the statement goes on to say, we would like these changes to go into effect before this weekend's games to immediately protect the players and hope the nfl accepts the change before

then as well, and jake, we had heard that the nfl wanted, you know, the term gross motor instability, that's when we saw tua stumble, we saw hines for the colts stumble, leave the game with a concussion. he never came back. they want that to be a no-go to return to play. even if it is still not deemed a head injury, say it's gross motor instability because of a knee or back, like they ended up saying with tua's condition, they want it to be a no-go regardless of whether it's head trauma or anything else, and i don't think anyone is going to fault the nfl for being overly cautious when it comes to player safety. >> well, some people will. but those people are morons. andy scholz, thank you so much. coming up this sunday on cnn's state of the union, i'm going to talk to virginia governor republican glenn youngkin plus bill richardson in his interview first since his trip to russia.
