last week florida soundly defeated in a special election in the rio grande valley. the first time that district has gone republican in more than a hundred years. later in the show we're going to speak to flores about heroin and what it means. but it's not just hispanic who has come to despise the democratic party. roughly 9 out of 10 black voters supported joe biden in the 2020 election. since then, less than two years, biden's approval rating among african americans has dropped by 20 percentage points, same is true with asian voters. as of tonight the only group that continues to enthusiastically support joe biden is college white people in urban areas particularly women. if you have three max carry an npr tote ban and wear a mask in the car you are all in. everyone else is running away. effectively what we are he a seeing is the end of the modern democratic party. even nsnbc has noticed. >> this speaks to a story we have he a been talking about since the 2020 election, specifically along the border, the rio grande valley, south texas, we have seen county after cou

bill melugin tracking the latest developments from the ground in rio grande valley, texas. hello, bill. bill: mike, good afternoon to you. the biden administration has suffered yet another setback in court as a federal judge just threw out one of their key immigration policies which essentially limited who ice can and cannot target here in the united states. as you take a look at video we shot in the rio grande valley this week, we will explain what happened. so last year dhs secretary mayorkas issued policy which limited who ice can arrest and deport in the united states, limiting it to just national security threats, public safety threats and recent border crossers, you'll remember, he made headlines when he said just being in the u.s. illegally is not enough of a reason to deport somebody. well, the states of texas and louisiana sued dhs over that arguing that mayorkas guidance was forcing ice to essentially go against what u.s. law is and on friday a federal judge agreed with those states. he threw out this policy from dhs, argued that it was stopping ice from doing its

nowhere is this trend more obvious in the rio grande valley of texas. that's a place which for generations has been a democratic party stronghold. as recently as twenty eighteen, a democrat called henry cuellar won his district in south texas with fully 84% of the vote. his district is 80% hispanic and for decades that meant it went democrat. but then last cycle that began to change two years ago a percentage of the vote plummeted by twenty six points in one cycle. the same thing happened to congressman filemon 1% gonzalez. they also represent districts on the border with mexico in texas. both went from huge wins in twenty eighteen to marginal victories in twenty twenty . hispanic voters are no longer automatically democrats. in fact they are openly hostile to the democratic party . joe biden's support among hispanics has dropped to a stunning 24%. that's the lowest among any ethnic group in america. last week a candidate called mara flores soundly defeated incumbent and in a special election in the rio grande valley. it was the first time that district

the latest from griff jenkins in the rio grande valley. afternoon, neil. talking about the largest caravan to come out of southern mexico in years. here's what he's telling me. take a look at the caravan. he says it stretches 3 miles long. he says it's almost 10,000 strong. he says there are some 2,000 children in it along with 3,000 women and he says it's 80% venezuelan migrants. the other 20% made up of central american migrants from honduras, guatemala, el salvador. some apparently even from somalia. he says his caravan has a message for president biden. they would like the president to sit down with latin american leaders and talk about the reasons why they have to flee their countries to begin with. meanwhile if the caravan gets to the u.s. border they are already overwhelmed. this video that we shot with texas dps, they were arresting migrants, trying to evade capture, running to the field. our guys were able to catch the ones we perceive. there have been many got always. we saw them on camera but couldn't capture them. over 10,000 encountered. that'

[laughter] >> i wasn't even active then, let's put it that way. edwarden denninger won without any support. my support. yeah, look, this was a district won by joe biden by 5 points, and flores won it by with 8. so that is a shift of 13 points. that's a big change. an

texas governor greg abbott was down here in the rio grande valley getting an update on the border situation from texas dps. and from the national guard but he has had to surge texans resources down into the border. so i asked him about the fact that president biden has never been to the border in his entire life, take a listen to what the governor had to say about that. >> we have demanded that joe biden come to the border. not for a candy coated tour but he needs to see the struggles of what people in del rio are dealing with fred he needs to see ranches that have been ripped apart by the illegal immigration that he has allowed. he needs to talk to the people whose lives have been completely disrupted. >> and eric cummins terror watch list numbers we talked about a few moments ago and are extra concerning considering the fact that multiple sources tell me it last month alone in may there were more than 50000 known got a ways here in our southern border. we will send it back to you. >> that's amazing thanks so much. arthel: well eric, final proof expected a few hours after cdc panel today r

south texas, the rio grande valley, heavily hispanic and check this out. this is significant because this is, by population, the second most heavily hispanic congressional district in america. and last night a republican, mayra flores, won the special election in this district. she will serve from the seat only for the next few months. she's nominated to run in a different district this november. she's going to face a tough race. but this just speaks to what we started talking about election night 2020. the whole region along the border of the rio grande valley used to be staunchly democratic, has moved towards the republican party. this is a district that obama won more than 60% i hillary clinton won by 22% and a republican wins under the same lines and follows what we've seen in that area. this is a story about texas, a story about the hispanic vote nationally, and it looms large in 2022. >> steve kornacki, thank you so much. walter, you know, you could look at those industrial -- the rust belt when it went democratic to republican. you've got to look at

texas governor greg abbott was visiting the rio grande valley here and meeting with texas dps and the texas national guard getting an update on the border situation and i asked him about the fact that president biden has never been to the border in his entire career, and i asked governor abbott would he prefer he comes down here, he would personally invite him? take a listen. >> we have demanded that joe biden come to the border and not for a candy coated tour. he needs to see the struggles of what people in del rio are dealing with. he needs to see the ranches that have been ripped apart by the illegal immigration that he has allowed he needs to talk to the people whose lives have been completely disrupted. >> and, neil, what's important to point out, all the numbers that we just talked about, these are only the migrants that we know about that actually have been apprehended by border patrol. multiple cvp sources say since october, there have been 440,000 known got-aways at the border, seen on cameras or sensors, but they don't have the manpower to get to, that's an average of about

casey's ego and rio grande valley texas with the latest worries. in big worries at that. >> good to see you, according to the cbp data come out of 239,000 migrant encounters out here at the southern border for the month of may close to 46000 of those happen in this very sector where we are, the rbg or rio grande valley as so many have gone to know which means since the start of fiscal year 2022, which was october 1, more than 1.5 million migrant encounters have now been recorded across the entire us-mexico border. here in the rbg is more than 60% jump from the same month last year. that does not include the known got a ways, what cbp says is somewhere close to 446,004 fiscal year 2022, lawmakers who have seen it with their own eyes say enough is enough. >> republicans on the committee saw firsthand by going to the border the problems that this administration has caused, over 3 million illegal immigrants have come across the border since president biden took office. that's three times the state of delaware,. >> as you look live at the border in the

certainly aren't just runners in the rio grande valley. if we pull up this video, fox news went back to the big ben sector, in west texas, incredibly remote, deadly, dangerous, hot terrain, almost like a martian landscape in the middle of nowhere. dps were hunting for runners in those neck of the woods up on a cliff under a big boulder we came across a group of eight illegal immigrants and some of them wearing camouflage, every time we go tout there, it's stunning, truly in the middle of nowhere, sometimes dozens of miles inland from the border and these migrants will walk through that extremely difficult terrain in brutal temperatures because they simply do not want to be caught. and back out here live, neil, we talked about the big numbers in the rio grande valley sector, in the last 12 days more than 18,000 illegal crossings just here in this sector alone as well as more than 1500 got-aways. and again, this is one single sector along the border, back to you. neil: to follow-up on what we were talking about at the outset, bill, this mexi

i think will you see an uptick in rio grande valley and del rio. but right now yuma is on fire. they are getting overrun, and easy, because once you get across the border in yuma, you lost, you are in the city of yuma. the cartels want to spread the groups across the southwest border because now that title 42 is in place, single adults are not looking to turn themselves in, they are looking to get away. the cartels are active on pushing huge family groups to tie the border patrol up to move the people who don't want to get arrested and fentanyl and other drugs in unprotected regions. >> this is a very treacherous crossing area here, that's the sonoran desert and it gets hot this time of year. >> i'm surprised the numbers are increasing, you are going to see the migrant deaths. now that illegal immigration continues to rise, you'll see more deaths down there, and that's why specifically in tucson you have the largest ment an of got-aways, less infrastructure there, less border patrol there, more got-aways and more deaths because they are not rescued. >> john: who knew what when a

clearly this is a winning b message not just in the rio grande valley but also across the u.s. safety security, prosperity, the american dream. it's why r people from allt over the world risk life and limb to get here. now sadly, most s democrats havw lost sight of what does make this country great. many want tora transform america into something that would be totally unrecognized to most of us . we're seeing this in schools. we're seeinge this with policing. we're seeing this with s our borders. we're seeing this with m violence. we're seeing this with democrats. they have lefttway their markre and not in a good way. but americans clearly are paying attention. what ween saw in virginia with one young kid in education, what almost happened in new jersey, nobody was paying attention in the dyion governor's race there. that race could have turned w red , believe it or not. new jersey. and here we have maira flores.ly one hundred and fifty years g finally it changesot hands tote republican . it's got to be replicated in every state, every district in the country. now republicansns

republican mayra flores flipping the heavily democratic seat red in the rio grande valley. look at this. flores defeating sanchez by nearly eight points, the daughter of mexican migrant workers. flores' victory is a clear sign that the gop is making significant inroads with hispanic voters. kellyanne conway had this reaction. watch. >> they tried to tie her as an ultra-maga, right-wing extremist. >> former president trump notching a victory in south carolina where the first house republican who voted to impeach packing. fryousing five-term congressman tom rice. look at the numbers there. you can insert your own fried rice pun here but the other high-profile target of the former president held on in the country defeating the challenger katy arrington. in nevada, trump-backed candidate and former nevada attorney general adam waxall defeating sam brown for the gop nod in the senate rate in the silver state. afterwards, he had this to say. >> these failed policies are not just the product of joe biden, though he has served as a useful pubet, but they lie at the feet of the sena

we would like to show you these photos out of the rio grande valley which continues to be overwhelmed. agents reporting they encountered three large groups totaling around 550 illegal immigrants and as you can see they are reporting that included over 300 family members as well as 153 unaccompanied children. the rgb sector has had about 350,000 illegal crossings since october. that trend is not slowing down. a dhs source telling us as of this morning and a 24-hour span, they had more than 1600 illegal crossings as well as 98 got away. we'll send it back to you. >> jason: thanks. >> we witnessed 800 migrants crossing into the united states, walking through this wide-open border. just walk through here -- we have been meeting migrants from all over the world from uzbekistan, georgia, russia. from brazil, nicaragua and colombia, hundreds of migrants the border patrol has to deal with here in yuma. >> jason: on top of those illegals already here, thousands upon thousands are crossing mexico right now in a massive caravan, heading right towards our southern border. the biden administration

so there was just a special election and texas in the rio grande valley and a republican won for the first time since 1871. the question is why? the answer seems to be pretty clear port security. most americans amount of what they look like a wood line which they speak a work party they belong to what is happening on our border is an atrocity. she is a person who feels that way she's from immigrant should be a law enforcement she's not running for congress not say she joins us tonight. thank you so much for coming on we really appreciate it. it's interesting your candidacy makes sense because people been following this a lot of people they are confused tell us white your move to for congress? >> well tucker it's a pleasure to be with you on tonight. i became a police officer because of an incident that almost took the life of my younger brother. he was viciously gone down and nearly killed by ms-13 savages so i want to talk about the border presence when a talk about crime in our community for me it absolutely gets personal. i've been on the front lines as law enforcement officer i'v

. >> greg abbott was in the rio grande valley this afternoon. he reacted to those numbers. >> what you did not mention is all of those on the watchlist got away. what that means is that there's a high probability that there are a lot of people on the whic list who have come into the united states. >> foxnews embedded with texas dps as they track down illegal immigrant runners admission som scaling aphids in an effort to evade capture. at night, more of the same as troopers found hunters hiding i the brush hoping to sneak in an in matt wright county, human smuggler being pursued by texas dps bails out and runs along with his human cargo. illegal immigrants who flee int the brush in all directions. earlier this morning i reached out to cpp to ask about these elevated numbers of terra watchlist arrests specifically widely believed this year is so much higher than prior my have not gotten a response. >> breaking tonight staffers from the late show with stephen colbert have been arrested by capitol hill police due to a security breach of the hill. we

case and point, take a look at the photos just put out by border patrol in the rio grande valley yesterday. what you're looking at are numerous large groups, 3 of them in total here in hidalgo county and in star county totaling more than 500 people over a span of just 2 days. mixed in to those groups, were 146 unaccompanied children. remember, there were more than 14,000 of those unaccompanied children who showed up at our border in may, most of these from central and south america. the rgv sector has had more than 260,000 illegal crossings since october. they are not alone. take a look at the photos put up by border patrol in del rio sector. they are dealing with the exact same thing. they report in the last 48 hours they've had 8 large groups totaling 1,800 migrants. some of those groups having more than than 300 people in them. that sector also getting pummeled. they had more than 307,000 illegal crossings since october. those numbers are up 122% during the same time last year. take a look at arizona, yuma arizona, they are also getting hammered as well. they have had more than 290,000

bill: as usual the number in the rio grande valley they are not slowing down. dhs source telling fox news that just in the last 24 hours alone in the rgv there have been more than 1,200 illegal crossings. we will send it back to you. >> bill melugin live at the southern border, thanks a lot. arthel. arthel: disturbing update out of ukraine as intense fighting continues in eastern donbas region where russian forces have been shelling civilian targets nonstop for weeks. officials in the besiege city of mariupol are now concerned of outbreak of cholera after water became infected by dead bodies. mike tobin in the capital of kyiv. >> a big diplomatic marathon. usually what we see by president zelenskyy ensuring up to secure weapons to fight against russia. what we have seen him do is sure up support for membership of ukraine into the european union. he did that yesterday meeting with president of the european commission as she made her way to kyiv. zelenskyy will learn june 24th if ukraine has been approved as a candidate for eu membership. >> i am sure that we wil

it was pretty clear then that there will rio grande valley was going to the center. it was going republican. greg is absolutely right. ronald reagan said it, latinos are republicans they may not know it yet but they'll figure it out. i think that that is what is happening. i think that her election really should send shivers through the ranks of democrats. >> and jesse imagine that you agree. this is so shocking that the democrats across the country have to look at this and say holy moly. >> this tells me -- remember the rainbow coalition obama put together? that tells me this is a mirage. republican party, old white party, they were on life support. but joe and the democrats made a fatal mistake with hispanics. they assumed hispanics liked open borders. they assumed hispanics are soft on crime. what is latino next no one likes that. so they then unleashed inflation high crime and high gas prices an end angers the entire country, including hispanics. but hispanics hate biden more than anybody. 23% approval for joe biden among hispanics. they hate him more than whites

border here in the rio grande valley sector. more than 210 miles of an entire river border. they also saw those panels for border wall construction just lying out, rusting in the open costing some $3 million per cay to the american taxpayers according to a senate subcommittee report issued last july. now, when they were here, they also saw the donna facility which congressman buddy carter called a humanitarian crisis. and earlier today he was on "fox & friends" and had this to say about the takeaway from their trip. listen. >> unfortunately, i was hoping that i would see improvements, but i didn't see any improvement whatsoever. still overcrowding, still the border patrol agents are overwhelmed. one of them described it as being like working with a bucket in front of a fire hydrant. don't send any more buckets, turn off the tap. >> reporter: well, let's talk about that tap. look here. the latest fox news exclusively getting the latest 4-hour -- 24-hour encounters, rgv, more than 1300, del rio, more than 1300, el paso, just over 1,000, and yuma, 860. if you add all that up, i

griff jenkins is down there in the rio grande valley. he will be joining us later. >> ainsley: he hears another caravan i'm going to start packing my bags. >> brian: president going to make time for jimmy kimmel to do his show should be fascinating. >> steve: tape it wednesday at 50:00. president biden returning to another weekend in delaware heated negative negotiations on gun reform. >> ainsley: could come in week as he wants to give president space on their. >> brian: basically said mr. president please don't talk anymore. peter doocy joins us at the white house. peter? >> good morning, one of the democratic lawmakers involved in this senator chris murphy says these are among the most serious gun control talks he has ever been a part of. >> would president biden getting involved in negotiations help? >> i think the senate needs to do this ourselves. i have talked to the white house every single day since these negotiations began. buff right now the senate needs to handle these negotiations. >> changes senators are talking about don't

right now the del rio sector is the number 1 area with the most encounters compared to the rio grande valley. all i can tell you right now, if that's the case, we'll continue to see the influx of immigrants coming across. as it is right now, the federal government has not even acted upon the remain in mexico policy that has been in place since last year. they renews to do it. that's why the state of texas has to expand operations with operation lone star. we will continue to expand more operations by expanding commercial vehicle inspections to focus on human smuggling. also include more special agents and troopers to this specific area of the del rio sector to focus on stash houses to get people that take advantage of this. that's why we see the influx of human smuggling right now. >> neil: what did you make of the administration saying that the border is closed? was that news to you? >> you know, neil, that's inaccurate. the numbers speak for themselves. especially what took place in san antonio monday. that wouldn't be happening in the federal government would enact the policies. if
