so last year dhs terminated all special registration requirements. however, because of special registration, many innocent arabs and muslims face deportation and barred from applying for citizenship. you issued a memo to address the situation with these individuals. it provides the individuals who failed to comply that they wouldn't be penalized if it was involuntary, intentional. or otherwise reasonably excusable. will you ensure that the standards for noncompliance with special registration are going to be applied fairly and generously? >> yes, i will. and i will make sure that ice reports to me how that is being implemented. >>> i visited a detention facility in my state. the tri-county dissension center deep southern illinois. i applaud i.c.e. for issuing its revised detention standards recently. i'm in the process of looking those over. i'm still concerned about some of the conditions i noted. some of them will take a deep investigation before i can say with any certainty that there are violations that need to be addressed. but there was one thi

the dhs a variety of strong -- the d.a. has a variety of strong enforcement mechanisms. if there is not a straightforward performance obligation, the city has the right to terminate and sue for a specific penalty or monetary damages. in addition, because there are so many health obligations, the city has negotiated and included specific liquidated damages for non-performance of any of the health-care obligations. these include, but are not limited to, the obligation to open st. luke's before opening cathedral hill, to operating looks for 20 years, and other key health care obligations you will hear about it in a moment. and lastly, the cpmc is required to provide an annual report on all obligations to provide the board of public health and planning certified that they are in compliance. if either director finds that cpmc is out of compliance, they in conjunction with the city attorney can begin the enforcement steps outlined above. that includes the general terms. what i am going to do now is turn it over to barbara garcia, the director of public health. >> good morning,

it does concern me, and that is why we need a thorough investigation, not just by the white house or dhs, but by congress. and that a secret service spokesman issued the statement -- "any information brought to our attention that can be assessed as credible will be followed up on in an appropriate manner." district of owner reportedly claims agents from the fbi and dea also frequent the club. both the fbi and dea say they are unaware of any misconduct by there and for years, and they say if any allegations are proven to be credible, they will take swift action -- unaware of any misconduct by their employees. >> so far, eight agents have been forced out, and three others face allegations related scandal. >> a live it multiple gold medalist michael phelps in training before the olympics. >> golf and gambling. the latest decision made in annapolis. >> we get to raven's headquarters for the latest on a draft. >> another round of showers and maybe a few isolated thunderstorms moving in from the west, but that does not meet friday will be wet. we will check of the forecast coming up. coming up

that area dh morning and that's because phylicia barnes was living outside of charlotte when she came the visit family here in baltimore two years ago. andrew dowd is live this morning in monroe, north carolina from our sister station outside with new reaction to the arrest. andrew, good morning. >> reporter: good morning megan. phylicia barnes was a student here at union academy and for months after her disappearance, students and teachers hoped that she would return safely as they return to school today they can at least come to school with the sense of comfort knowing that police have the man responsible -- they believe to be responsible for her death rather in custody. that man is michael johnson. he is phylicia barnes' sister's former boyfriend. barnes was visiting her sister in 2010 when she disappeared. this morning we spoke to her former theater coach and a close family friend charles patterson. he told us he feels a sense of relief but not necessarily isceps of -- sense of closure. >> he had no conscience, he didn't care. she was killed because she knew him. and obviously she

we think at dhs, we've got a lot of good policies that we've got implemented. we're sharing those to the maximum possible. >> we'll do that. >> i don't see any immediate issue that would be appropriate at this point, what would i do, i think what you just did today was a really important thing. very beneficial to this process we're going through particularly with the new policy we're going through and implement it right. the fact that an important question like this with yourself as chair are actually interested in the subject, looking at us and we know that you'll come back some time to just give you follow up and how we're progressing on the implementation of this policy. you've done something and that's invaluable to us. not only here in the united states, but globally, people are aware that the united states senate is interested in this problem and that adds a degree of seriousness to it, which we appreciate. >> i appreciate you saying that and that clearly is our intention. we will keep in touch. you know, we want the benefits of scientific inquiry. we nee

we think in dhs we have a lot of good policies we have implemented and we're sharing those to the maximum extent possible. i would like to put down a marker that says perhaps later after we've had more time working through the march 29 and adding more meat to the bones, that we come and consult with congress on this very critical issue. >> that makes sense. i hope you will do that. doctor fauci. >> i don't see any immediate legislative issue that would be appropriate at this point but i think if you ask if i were on the committee what would i do, i think what you just did today was really a very important thing. that's really very beneficial to this difficult process that we're going through, particularly with the new policy and trying to get it right and implement it right, and the fact that an important committee like this committee and with yourself as chair are actually interested in the subject, looking at us, and we know that we'll come back to you sometime and maybe soon to just give you follow-up about how we're progressing on the implementation of this policy, so you have already

well, the first thing that we did was we created an executive level oversight board coordination with dhs to map out our short-term, medium term around long-term strategy to address these recommendations. immediately after receiving the report in the recommendations we retrained the individuals who collect the information at the enrollment sites on their ability to identify fraudulent documentation. we also made system documentation that allows us to collect more information on the documents that are collected. pass that to our adjudicators so they can be reviewed more thoroughly. the midterm and longer term plan we're making arrangements from the u.s. system so we can send our fingerprints toe that repository and check our prints that we have against those in that repository to see if anybody's applying under multiple names or identities. the other long-term project is a capability with the fbi. what that means is currently we're required to submit a new set of fingerprints each time we want a criminal history records check. what we're working tards is seeing if we can submit the fingerp

my wife, who is a national league fan who has been known to walk around the house saying "dump the dh." neither the owners or players came looking to change the designated hitter. even though we changed the alignment of the leagues and postseason play. i don't think anyone would design an industry where, you know, one set -- one league had one set of rules and the other has another but i think that compromise, if will you, is here to stay for a long time. >> safety in sports has become a big issue at both the professional and amateur levels. what is the mlb-pa doing to address this issue in baseball? >> health and safety was as much a part of our negotiations as it's ever been. in addition to what we did in the -- in our joint drug program and to address substance abuse and substance use by players, we negotiated over safer battle helmet, we negotiated recently new protocols for treating, diagnosing concussions and for return to play. we negotiated over safer bats. there was a tremendous amount of negotiation over health and safety this time, bargaining. i think that's a reflection th

and i would say it's also irreverently true in the cyber arena amongst the agencies whether it be dhs, nsa, ourselves, dna and the like. so important to this is what you point out, both the experiences and expertise in the private sector. this is where it's different from addressing terrorism, because the private secretary sector has to play a substantial role. runs or critical infrastructures. how you execute that whether through the statute or not is really up to others. my concern is the sharing of information so that we can determine who was responsible for this and lock them up, and perhaps the third area is the necessity of building up the expertise in the federal government amongst all of the agents, and the outreach to the private side. not only building up the expertise, but also the outreach to the -- to private businesses so that we become partners. so we have not any other criminal arena. >> well, you have really highlighted an area that makes this whole intelligence, security holding, accused, terrorists without charges being filed -- we're not dealing with an enemy that

we've got to find ways to network our capabilities internal to the inner agency of government, dhs, fbi, d.o.d., cia and all those, and as well then with our international partners in ways we just haven't had to do before. but we're on it. we're working it. >> and i concur with the assessment and, of course, as we go forward, we don't want to over codify to the point that we stifle initiative. but i'm also concerned, and i think i hear the same thing, that much of this is based on relationships. it's forged in the crucible and to the effect that we codify it, it won't come to an end, two individuals very strong-willed might not get along, we still need this to work. so much to do, and just one specific question. i see my time is getting short here. with regard to the unrest in syria. have there been any adverse implications and ramifications in anbar and nineva province? >> no. not coming from syria in, but we do know -- you probably know this having served there, but it runs from northern saudi arabia through western iraq and up into syria, and there are, you know, there is assistance

under secure community program that the dhs has put in, has helped them train, but they refer people over when there is a violation of the law. so, it is absolutely absurd that to state here that this does not profile. this has become such a profile issue in arizona that two of our sheriffs, elected sheriffs, one in the largest county, is under investigation both criminally and civilly. the civil action is based on profiling, and that's the reality because people are being profiled. and you know, you can talk about, well, wasn't the intent. maybe it wasn't the intent. we don't want to do that. but that is the fact. imagine two law enforcement officers duly elected, enforcing this law, are under investigation, one for criminal, one for criminal and civil, and the civil part is profiling, the other one is misuse of the office, and i could tell you stories that will make your hair stand on end of public officials, including the superior court judge that was indicted because he opposed this particular sheriff and a member, two members of the maricopa county supervisors who were indicted.

. >> reporter: wednesday the fbi an dhs released an advisory, ma, al qaeda might try to mark the one-year anniversary of his death with a terrorist attack in the u.s. and officials gave no specifics and the white house said that is because there really aren't any. >> at this time we have no credible information that terrorist organizations including al qaeda are plotting attacks in the u.s., to coincide with the anniversary of bin laden's death. however, we assess that aq's affiliates and allies remain intent on conducting attacks in the homeland and possibly to action venni avenge the death of bin laden, but not necessarily tied to the anniversary. >> and there is talk of whether the obama administration is political sizing the one-year anniversary and, john brennan said this morning, he does not do politics. >> peter doocy in washington, thank you very much. >> eric: a yacht race on the pacific ocean turned deadly, the u.s. coast guard reporting this morning one of the yachts apparently collided with a much larger vessel, during the 125-mile trek between newport, california and encinada

i saw the scores for dhs and tsa. i think some of that reflects they have a very large screening workforce that does somewhat stressful job, interacting with the public on a day-to-day basis, and sometimes that's stressful. it wasn't clear to me what the department was doing about it on an organizational wide basis. we have work under way right now. >> we'll give them an opportunity to respond. are you aware of the turnover rate? >> not specifically. >> would it spritz you to learn it was 13%? >> if that's accurate that would not surprise me. >> it's been 10% for at least the last five years and that is significantly higher than the average federal agency. >> any time any organization experiences that type of turnover obviously you're dealing with -- it imposes certain challenges. >> give at any the sensitive nature of the mission, the security mission, would it -- should it concern us in your opinion that we have low morale and high turnover and that actually could -- that in theory could affect the performance of th

regulations are fully and promptly implemented by the department and you replied appropriately the dhs will fully comply with the applicable statutory and regulatory framework. nearly three years after the hearing, how do you feel like that's going? >> well, i think, senator, we have deported a record number of individuals, as you know. i will be happy to go back and look at all of the regulations governing that to make sure we're in compliance, but we have had a very aggressive plan to deport those who should be removed from the country. >> my question is a little more narrow because we want to identify whether the detainees have perhaps committed other crimes and aid those law enforcement agencies in the course of those other investigations not just enforce the immigration laws, which is important, but is not the complete rationale. would you be willing to on a voluntary basis submit to the committee sort of the department's evaluation of how it has complied and handled this requirement of 2005 into the dna fingerprint act? >> i'd be happy to supply that. >> that would be very helpfu

it because it infringes on federal law and they're not trained under secure community programs the dhs has put in has helped them train, but they refer people over when there is a violation of the law. so it is absolutely absurd that to state here that this does not profile. this has become such a profile issue in arizona that two of our sheriffs, elected sheriffs, one in the largest county is under investigation both criminally and civilly. the civil action is based on profiling. and thus the reality. because people are being profiled. and you know, you can talk about, well, it wasn't the intent. maybe it wasn't the intent. oh, i've got a heart and we don't want to do that. but that is the fact. imagine, two law enforcement officers duly elect ed enforcin this law are under investigation, one for criminal, one for criminal and civil. the civil part is profiling. the other one is misuse of the office. and i could tell you stories that will make your hair stand on end of public officials including the superior court judge that was indicted because he opposed this particular sheri sherif
