just these texas national guard soldiers. so in migrants in the what are they bring them over to a holding area and they called border patrol. a border patrol is completely overwhelmed right now but they cannot be everywhere at once. these texas resources have been used to supplement and unfortunately today we are hearing of the very tragic outcome. >> in our prayers are with his family this week in bed thank you much, bella. >> you know, kayleigh, this is a really big deal. this is a policy failure that has very publicly led to the death of an american hero. it reminds me of the withdrawal from afghanistan. and the 13 service members who lost their lives because of a policy failure. and this is coming at a time when people are already very worried about title 42 ending and what that would mean at the border. there are a lot of border towns biden administration has completely forgotten about. when he entered office and made his speech he said that he was going to be a president for all people. he completely forgot the people

i want to point out it is not a border patrol agent missing it is a texas national guardsman. he has been missing for over 72 hours now. he first jumped into water in the rio grande in eagle pass friday morning at 8:30 a.m. and never resurfaced. his body hasn't been found. the latest information we have is yes, the two people he was trying to save in the water were actually involved in drug trafficking. that's according to the texas rangers. they have been using every resource they can to try to find that soldier. but latest information we have right now he is still missing. a 22-year-old from arlington, texas. as soon as we get more updates we'll keep our viewers posted. in the meantime want to show you dramatic video we shot an our ago in eagle pass. mexican authorities actually trying to physically stop illegal immigrants from crossing into eagle pass, texas. this is the first time we've seen them physically put hands on these migrants in an effort to stop them. they were ultimately unsuccessful. they were able to take a couple to the ground. one woman goes running right by

all of this as the body of a texas national guardsman is recovered after he's reported missing while trying to rescue two migrants. we have team coverage for you with david spunt on how the white house is dealing with this. bill melugin in eagle pass, texas with the fall-out from it. we begin with david. to you now. >> hi, sandra. the president began meeting with the congressional hispanic caucus about 45 minutes ago. we're told that meeting is still going on right now. it's possible some of those members will come out to the microphones to speak. no question its likely and lele wait to hear what happened with the meeting. the president may be getting an earful from those members in his own party about the way this administration has handled the crisis on the border. there's new issues and the president is expected to be talking about those issues with some of these people, especially the real inability to get a grip on the surge of illegal immigration that happens daily. right now title 42, the policy that expels illegal migrants from the united states says it will expire may 23. th

that is about a 28% increase from the previous year. >>> since the texas national guard can't deport the migrants they encounter, some texans accuse the governor of wasting billions of dollars of taxpayer dollars of what they describe as a re-election publicity stunt. we have the story from mission, texas. >> reporter: we have been touring the border to get a deeper understanding of how operation lone star works and why is texas spending $3 billion of taxpayer money on efforts that are mostly under the jurisdiction of the federal government? something that critics of governor abbott have called an expensive political stunt and the governor said it's necessary to secure the border. where are you headed? >> so now, we are, one of the troopers got an alert. so we are responding to it, to another ranch. >> reporter: that is a lieutenant in the texas department of public safety, he is part of lone star. it's been launched last march to deter migrants from crossing the border. >> for the most part, a lot of them that we talk to, say they are trying get to san antonio or houston and they ar

we just moments ago got a new update on that missing texas national guard soldier of the texas military department putting out a statement saying texas rangers have determined the two migrants the soldier was trying to save in the river yesterday were involved in drug smuggling at the time of this incident. that soldier disappeared more than 24 hours ago after jumping into the water to try to save those two migrants who again texas rangers have determined were smuggling drugs when this happens. that soldier has not been seen again. that soldier is now presumed to have drowned, presumed to have died even though they've not found that body it has been so long. as you look at scene video here keep in mind this is prep and 8:30 a.m. yesterday morning we originally told he jumped into save it migrants who were struggling in the water. but this latest statement does say these and migrants were involved in drug smuggling as they were coming across the river. that soldier never resurfaced. border patrol and state resources have been out on the river all day long since yesterday for their out th

it shows heroism by the member of the texas national guard who was trying to save lives. so a total disaster created not only by president biden and his administration, but by the democrats across the board. >> meanwhile, crickets from the media on the search for one of our missing service members. abc only airing 20 seconds' worth of coverage a since friday. none of the other networks mention it. i'm going to go to you, lara. you know, this story really bothers me. this is news. a texas guardsman gave his life up to help, that's news. but to have crickets, you have stone silence other than a 20-second sound clip by abc. i can ask you the law question, why, but it doesn't fit their narrative, does it? >> well, no, it definitely doesn't fit their narrative. don't forget, leo, these networks were the folks that basically carried joe biden across the finish line. it was because of all of their help. they didn't report on things like the hunter biden laptop story, they did everything they could to coddle joe biden all the way through the campaign until the election. and so, y

their failure to support the men and women of border patrol texas national guard and national guard. it falls on their shoulders and i hope they feel this because this life belongs to them and it's tragic. elizabeth: white house jen psaki tried to blame his death on the state of texas when this is biden's border collapse. >> our heart goes out to his family and his loved ones. >> is the responsibility for his death given there is reporting he lost his life allegedly trying to save to migrant smuggling drugs. >> of course we are mourning the loss of his life and grateful for the work of every national guardsmen, i would note the national guardsmen worked for the state so he's an employee of the texas national guard and his efforts and operations were directed by their, not the federal government. elizabeth: so don't blame us. your reaction? >> this is par for the course, they will not take responsibility for anything especially if it looks bad upon this administration. they did the same in afghanistan, never accepted responsibility and doing it every day as they turned a blind eye to

a texas national guardsmen. one of the guys supporting border patrol in texas dps on a mission supplementing what border patrol is supposed to be doing and in this case this texas national guardsmen jumped io grande to try to save a migrant who was presumably drowning, they've got divers attempting to find him, how utterly dangerous. >> representative tony gonzalez tweeted a picture of the guardsmen, a farmer, he threw his body armor off to rescue people. this happens all the time. not only do people die a lot but border patrol is constantly saving people, women who are pregnant, children, the waters can look calm but there is a very dangerous current underneath and people don't realize it. you had me on your show on prime time, filling in for jesse waters and we did a segment talking about how mexico is offering free sitting weapons to help people who don't know how to swim. it is very dangerous, are put oprah -- border patrol in texas national guard consulate putting lives at risk. pete: texas national card, i

. >> sandra: sources are telling us, fox news, a national guard soldier has drown in eagle pass, texas while trying to save migrants crossing in the water there. tragic story. hello, everyone, and welcome. i'm sandra smith in new york. hi, mike. >> mike: the tragic news coming into the newsroom in the past hour. a body has been recovered. bill is live in eagle pass, texas with the latest on this breaking story. hey, bill. >> good afternoon to you, that's right. incredibly tragic. we talked with the soldiers out here every day and we can now confirm that just a short time ago a texas national guard soldier in the last hour or so drown in the rio grande here in eagle pass while he was trying to rescue a group of migrants in the water. we don't have details if it was a family or young children, but what i'm told by national guard sources, the soldier jumped into the water to try to rescue them and never surfaced. and i had a call with texas d.p.s., they confirmed the soldier has died and his body has been recovered and pulled out of the water. as far as we are aware, the very first texas

i would note that the national guard work for the state so he is an employee of the texas national guard and his efforts and his operation we're directe by their, not by the federal government. >> we wouldn't have to have the national guard on the border if they bite no was enforcing the laws and securing our border. >> it looks like the finger-pointing has begin tonight about who bears responsibility for the events leading up to the tragic death of texas national guardsmen bishop emmett. honoring the fallen soldier monday after his body was recovered from the rio grande three days after he drowned while attempting to save two illegal immigrants he thought. lips talk about the state price on the southern border intervie other topics with new york stat senator democratic strategist i former does welcome to you both gentlemen. >> thank you for having a spirit . >> and want to play something from the democrat out of texas. >> he can't say we have a pandemic or a public health issue here, but then say everything is fine at the borde and then lift the title 42 whic is a health order. you can'

griff: and airch for the texas national guard soldier who went missing while trying to safe a migrant in the rio grande river is on. bill is following this. >> it's not a good one, it's 24 hours since that soldier jumped into the water. his body has not found. it's a presumed drowning and that soldier's family is being notified by the state of texas. as we take a look at the scene video we'll explain the latest info we have. last night the search had to be called off because the texas military department says the rio grande currents were too strong. the team tells us that they have restarted the recover operations. the soldier jumped into the water at 8:30 a.m. central time yesterday in an effort to save a female migrant who was struggling in the water. that female migrant ended up surviving and in border control custody, but the soldier never resurfaced and again, it's now been more than 24 hours since he went into the water and that's why this is handled as a presumed drowning even though they haven't found his body. they found his body armor, his walkie-talkie and cell phone droppe

so he's an employee of the texas national guard. his efforts and operations were directed by there, not by the federal government. and this effort and this apparatus, we've long stated that our immigration system is broken. there needs to be more done to invest in smarter security, and we welcome any effort for any elected official to work with us on that. >> and the states are requesting more manpower to help manage this issue. is that being looked at? is that being -- can you give me a more specific question or person or -- >> you mentioned this specialist was a national guard. the states are in change of that. but there's been requests from the texas governor to send more, to help people who are now trying to deal with the influx of migrants a they know only is going to increase when title 42 is lifted. you talked about having a humanitarian system in place to increase vaccinations and that kind of thing. in terms of law enforcement at the border -- >> i would say if we dial it back a few years to what we inherited here. the form

so he is an employee of the texas national guard. and his efforts in operation were directed by there, not by the federal government. >> and today the supreme court will hear arguments over the remain in mexico policy that president biden has been accused of not enforcing and has been trying to suspend since his first day in office. firman... coming up at 5:00 we will hear from tennessee congressman dana hershberger. >> todd: with that, let's bring in congressional candidate and wife of a border agent. thank you for being here. let's start with this restraining order, lot not knowing about it. but at this point, irene emma it clear anything that will keep title 42 in place is ultimately going to have to come from the courts? this president will not keep it in place and congress ensures they will not act. >> absolutely. we have to make sure the biden administration with their reckless policy are stopped. and of course, it has to come to the court. thank god for this judge that actually is looking out for the american people. as you sa

they have a texas dove team searching the rio grande rightig now for the texas national guard soldier that lost b their life. they believe in the river. they're still searching for him. they also have texas dps scouring the area, texas border patrol as well as the texase nationalte guard themselves. this is a really somber day fore everyone there and i a know you have some video that i want to turn to right now. pete, because we've been at the border all month. i was in big bend y nationalea k out there with texas dps aircraft operations division. we were flying with them for the whole week and i want tom show t you just how difficult it is for border patrol and for dps to apprehend people that are guideway. that's exactly what chris cabrera is talking about. n these are people that do not want to be apprehended, people that are sneaking into our country. they're coming over the mountains. they are dressed in camo campbell gear. they're up in esr. so basically our operations division is up in the air. they're scouring the mountains . i was t up there with them and the middle of the ni

maria: this morning the search continues for a 22-year-old texas national guard soldier who vanished in the rio grande while trying to help to migrants who appear to be drowning as they illegally crossed the river from mexico into the united states. the texas rangers have determined that the two migrants were trafficking illicit narcotics into america and they are now in custody a border patrol. joining me right now is the man who is taking matters into his own hands texas governor greg abbott. it's good to see you this morning, thank you for being here. >> thank you, great to be back. maria: is there anything that you could tell us about the national guard soldier and can you please assess the situation today at the southern border. >> we keep the soldier in our prayers and we continue to search for them there is no new additional information to be issued about a texas military department today other than the fact obviously what is happened is a tragedy and it shows how dangerous it is on the border and shows heroism by the member of the texas national guard who is trying to save li

guard he knows the national guard work for the states, so he is an employee of the texas national guard. his efforts and his operated word directed by their not the federal government. >> response to that? >> at first, we would not have to have the national guard on the border. the biden administration was very simply enforce pass the laws by the congress and securing our border protection, in the biden administration barely kept in place with the trumpet ministration can put in place, the trumpet ministration lend to the lower number of border crossings in decades. we're dealing with a catastroph caused by the biden administration. one last point, this is a tragedy for this national guard soldier who was a hero by risking his own life to save th life of others. i spoke with his family and the said he is a loving man and comes from a family that has long been engaged in the united states military, they love our country. our country demands a secured border. we need a president who will stand up and secure the border. gig it you're doing a number of things, one of the number of things yo

were now getting a first look at some photos of this missing texas national guard soldier. if we can pull these up there courtesy of his family this is 22-year-old army specialist bishop evans out of arlington, texas again these photos provided to fox news from his family. as you mentioned he still has not been found. keep in mind he first went into the water more than 48 hours ago friday morning jumping into the rio grande in effort to save the lives of two migrants who he saw struggling in the water. texas rangers later saying they believe those two people were actually drug smugglers. he is presumed to have drowned because it is been so long since he went into the water. and he never resurfaced. his body cells not been recovered pretty can take a live look at our fox drone right now. just a few hard yards away from where we are right now search operations are underweight once again state resources, federal resources they're pulling out all the stops to try to find the body of this missing soldier who again is presumed to have drowned after jumping into the river to try t

it shows heroism by the member of the texas national guard was trying to save lives. unfortunately for the people -- they end up in drug traffickers they were both arrested. our goal right now is to locate this missing soldier with the texas military department and hopefully it will lead to a safe outcome. but we have no information we can add to what is going on right now about that particular soldier. we do have information what's going on on the border. it's a total disaster created not only by president biden as his head no space and the democrats across the board. we have a president of the united states was not negotiable the president of mexico. icom as governor of texas have taken matters into my own hands i have negotiated landmark historic deals with the governors of mexican states are adjacent to texas where the mexican states are going to step up and they are going to start securing the border. that is on top of things that texas has done that's never been done before the history of america such as texas building its owner border wall. laying down miles of

they stopped midway, and continued to cross whereupon they were met by two texas national guardsmen, who held them until border control could arrive. there was a couple from cuba, with their 2-year-old daughter, and another group, they were here to seek a better life. with title 42 in place, there is no guarantee, at least as of right now, whether they will be able to stay here or try to connect with family members or be returned back to mexico, as you mentioned. a million or so people have been done so throughout the pandemic. >> so, this is important to say. there is no legal way that people can come to the united states border and formally request asylum. there is no line anywhere to get to to request asylum. this is the only way people are even trying to ask for the possibility of asylum. it many times cost them their lives, a 2-year-old child from cuba, with his parents, the treacherous journey to get to the border is extraordinarily dangerous, as is the river, where you are right now. >> yes, are you absolutely right. to touch on that i should note, we are entering day tleef a

i would note the national guard works for the states so he is an employee of the texas national guard and his efforts and his operation were directed by there, not by the federal government. >> final thoughts here. he may have worked for the texas national guard but was working to protect the border of the united states, not just the border of texas. what did you make of those comments? >> first of all, shame on jen psaki and first of all, i want to say that mr. evans is an american hero. we are grateful for his service to this country. and our thoughts and prayers go out to him, his family and the entire law enforcement community for that tragic loss. we know this is a result of a nonsecure border, the result of a man-made crisis that joe biden has created, and it's so unfortunate the white house would not show support for the national guard or for the u.s. border patrol. >> all right. unfortunately we have to leave it right there. hector, thank you for your time today. appreciate it. >> thank you, anita. >> john: update to a story we brought you last week. one child has now died as

this administration has vilified anyone for border patrol the texas national guard, dps in texas saying that you are racist, they've somehow have nefarious agenda when it comes to the jobs that they're doing to defend the country. this the kenilworth at the doing every single day. going the river taken off the body armor to see if they can save people or non-americans who are entering the country illegally who are breaking our laws and literally putting their lives on the line every single day and there's no statement for the white house, there's no concern about the safety of these people at the put them in this position because they refuse to close the border. in the still doing nothing on title 42 there is now this democratic argument not to end it properly just as a talking point because title 42 has ended their releasing single adult males into the country all over the place in the administration does not do anything to change that. >> jeanine: what about the fact greg is that you have someone who has died working at the border the national guard and american trying to say in a leg

a texas national guard's man is presumed dead sacrificing his life to save somebody else. lieutenant, i want to hear what you are hearing and feeling? >> well, what happened today is a complete tragedy in eagle pass, texas. that's a clear example of true bravery and the courage of these soldiers who risk their lives every day on the front lines and going into the river to rescue illegal immigrants coming across unlawly but they risk their lives every day to perform these rescues. because of the message from the federal government and they don't want to keep title 42, the message is out. mass migrants are waiting in mexico and caravans and we will see more events take place. in eagle pass there were 3 drownings in a single day because of the strong current right there. unfortunately we will continue to see these events. it places the border patrol and troopers and national guard's men in dangerous situations to go into the river to perform rescue operations. >> brandon, you have seen it firsthand. the good people of the border patrol when you hear about an incident like ton

guardsmen and the texas national guardsmen. somebody must pay the price to secure the border. we appreciate alabama's contribution. >> it's the right thing to do. talladega, hundreds of thousands of people, great to have "fox & friends" here. alabama is known for national championships, economy is booming, great to have you at talladega today. >> i like how you snuck in the national championship there. still to come, richard childress joins us live to preview today's geico 500 and that is next. ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ voltaren. the joy of movement. >> tech: when you have auto glass damage, trust safelite. ♪ this dad and daughter were driving when they got a crack in their windshield.

officials there are searching for texas and national guardsmen who jumped into the rio grande to try to save two migrants yesterday morning. that soldier is now presumed to have drowned. but first ukraine's president volodymyr zelenskyy said he will meet secretary of state antony blinken and defense secretary lloyd austin tomorrow and his nation's capitol. so linsky made that announcement at a press conference today send quote or top of the list of weapons would eat and the pace of their supply but we should note neither the state department nor the defense department has confirmed what would be the first visit biden cabinet member since russia invaded. griffin jenkins is the life and kyiv which is now entering day 60, griff. >> that's right after two months of fighting president zelenskyy catching everyone by surprise announcing the first high-level u.s. delegation will visit tomorrow. and as you rightly point out neither the pentagon state department or even the white house is confirming it. >> tomorrow we have people from the united states visiting. they'll be meeting with the sec

breaking now a member ever the texas army national guard presumed to have drowned going into a river to save migrant. that soldier has been missing since this morning. we will have all the details in a moment in a live report. we are on the ground at that location. we begin first with mounting concern from democrats about president biden's decision now to end covid inspired asylum rules along the southern border. the white house is maintaining title 42 provisions will end as planned next month but now anxious democrats, fearing another illegal immigration surge as midterms approach, are applying pressure. lucas tomlinson starts us off tonight from the white house. hi, lucas. >> gillian, not just lawmakers sounding the alarm over repeal title 42 ahead of the expected migrant surge this summer reportedly the president's own dhs secretary as well. president biden traveled back to the pacific northwest, some would like to see him go to the southern border ahead of the elections. >> this is not good for democrats in november in talking to some of my republican colleagues, we can't believe

what we saw what's taking place right now in eagle pass, texas with our texas national guard soldier. but it is a clear example of true bravery and the courage for these soldiers crystallized every single day by being on the front lines and actually going into the river rescue rescuing immigrants that are coming across unlawfully violated federal law. but they risk their lives every single day to perform these rescues. and because of the messaging from the federal government that right now clearly we have an open border and of course they're not in favor of reinstating or keeping tight according to the messages. so now we have mass migrants that are waiting in mexico, caravans making their way to the south to the northern part of the border. and we're unfortunate going to see more events take place. there was 19 drownings alone this month in eagle pass. i was there on tuesday. there was three drownings in a single day because of the, the river the current the strong currents that are taking place right there right now and because of what's taking place, unfortunate. we're going to con

these are live images from eagle pass, texas where the surge continues for the missing texas national guard soldier. a growing number of democratic lawmakers pushing back for repealing title 42, massive migrant surge at the end of may. we have fox team coverage with bill melugin and alexandria hoff at the white house, alex, let's start with you. alex: political concern among democrats who is tight races across the country and these democrats do not want president biden's immigration policy working against them. currently 47 democrat members of congress are pushing for a delay in ending title 42 under the trump-era public health measure the u.s. was able to expel migrants to home countries, democratic congressman henry cuellar said on fox news sunday the administration plan to remedy border surge is lacking. >> they are talking about adding medical officials down here and transportation, the metric that is being used, how do you move the migrant from the border over to the interior of the united states. alex: on tuesday the supreme court will hear arguments over the remain in mexico po

i would note that natural guard national guard work for the state so he is an employee of the texas national guard and hi efforts in operation we're directed by their, not by the federal government. >> he is a texan, he is not an american he's just a texan. texas is doing the job because the feds won't do it. look at what's happening at our southern border. illegals dodging mexican officials running right into th river. look at her? she's like a world-class sprinter forcing u.s. border patrol agents to go in and save her. what are we doing? >> turning now to another topic. count this as a victory for fre speech. earlier today elon musk completed his takeover of twitter with the world's riches man paying just $44 billion to buy the social media giants. musk has been outspoken against spent censorship and has consistently held himself is a free speech absolutist. now he's put his money where hi mouth is saying quote free speech is the bedrock of a functioning democracy and twitter is the digital times square where matters vital to the future of humanity, twitter has tremendous potential and i

meanwhile, as a texas national guard soldier now presumably drowned in the rio grande at desperate people are exploited by ruthless smugglers the young girls are raped american's in the tens of thousands, the democrats call their open borders insanity, compassionate. how dare they. there is a nothing as cruel as the far left fox news contributor sarah carter. we've talked so much about the border and it just gets worse. those pictures and bill had more pictures again people literally, i don't know what to say it goes from bad to worse and now they're going to make it even worse. >> you know, steve it is gut wrenching i agree with monica crowley wholeheartedly there is no course correction for this administration. in fact they're going 100 miles an hour speeding down the road to disaster. i've been at the border might build my colicky does phenomenal work there i've seen the horrors of what happens on that border trade today there is a family who has lost a loved one, 22-year-old specialists from the texas national guard. he is a grandmother and grandfather who raised him are now suffering

for the first time we're getting to hear from the texas national guardsman's family. that would be the family of bishop evans. his body recovered yesterday. that family gets a little closure having his body back. they held a press conference last night in arlington, texas where he's fro. take a listen. >> bishop has always been a caring, loving child. it was just something that he could not see someone in need or hurting and not help even if he didn't have it, he would help you get it. >> take a look at this video we just got in from texas dps. a helicopter tracking down a group of immigrants. they ran through a private ranch, a ranch somebody owned. they're in thick brushy areas. what the helicopter is doing, radioing down to troopers down on the ground to coordinate with them how they can find this group courthousing thermal images. they were able to arrest this entire group. if we can pull up the photos. we'll show you who was in it. a group of seven adult men. one of them has tattoos all over him. texas dps said he was a suspected drug cartel member out of juarez,

they used the texas national guard soldiers. hundreds out here in different drills to design to simulate to how what they call a mass migration event or a caravan or large surge of my grants coming off in one specific point. you can see the soldiers in riot gear. the governor saying this is a drill that will happen here in the rio grande and eagle pass. he's saying if a caravan decides to show up, it's not going to just push through soldiers like what we saw in mexico before. he says his texas soldiers will not cross. we embedded with other texas resources. we were with texas state dps and the state troopers looking for runners. they're not turning themselves in. they're no asylum seekers. we were with the troopers abe they track down and arrested about 17 of these runners in total. keep in mind, texas dps, this isn't a job that they're suppose to be doing. they're supposed to be patrolling highways. texas dps is having to step up and do that. take a look at this photo. border patrol, this is one of the reasons why they're overr

guardsmen, i would note that the national guard workforce estate so he is an employee of the texas national guard and his efforts and his operation were directed by them not by the federal government. >> wow, wow. >> dana: of dramatic new video from texas show how the it was possible. running into the rio grande river. border patrol forced to go out and rescue then all this is president joe biden sees bipartisan heat to keep title 42 in place. at some democrats are now saying that the president is out of touch and what is happening. >> we need to listen to the border communities. this message of listing 42's and go straight to the criminal organizations, what were seeing as large numbers coming in, the messages are going out to the smugglers to the migrants is that on may 23rd you can go ahead and come in >> dana: jesse watters give us your thoughts today? >> jesse: remember brian terry. he was the border patrol agent that got shot after that botched gunrunning operation where they let all these black-market firearms go to the cartel. he was the vp and it was his justice department that ran

agents now presume that 22-year-old texas national guard soldier bishop e. evans is dead. evans went missing after he heroically tried to rescue two migrants who i appeared to be drowning in the rio grande. this comes as the lifting of trump era rules next month is expected to cause a massive surgery of illegal immigration. bill -- surge of illegal immigration. bill me rue gin has the story for us on the border. >> reporter: good evening to you. we're getting a first look after some photos of this missing soldier. if we can pull those up right now, these photos courtesy of his family. this is 22-year-old specialist bishop evans out of arlington, texas. and tragically, he is presumed to have drowned after he jumped into the rio grande here in eagle pass early friday morning in an attempt to save the lives of illegal immigrants he saw struggling in the water. he never resurfaced, and his body still has not been found. as you mentioned, texas rangers later determining those two with illegal immigrants were actually drug smugglers who were involved in this incident. you take a

it shows heroism by the members of the texas national guard who is trying to save lives. >> harris: we don't know why the white house has not spoken yet. perhaps it won't make a statement dear my hope in my prayers that that they are doing something for bishop evans family then we will ever know. it seems glaring to meet. >> vivek: first look, let's pause to think about this. he is a national hero. a 22-year-old american citizen living out his civic duty, saving the lives of two drug smugglers who he thought was going to drown. it is really easy for a lot of americans to sit back on their couches and claim their views on immigration policy or border security policy when they do not have skin in the game. it is one of those moments that reminded me that our civic duties ought to be shared evenly. if we had more people serving the national guard, civic service woven into what young people go through, we would have skin in the game and have very different views on how we should be selling the border crisis than comfortably sitting in your homes and like this 22-year-old serving his civic

the fallout continues from the tragic death of 22-year-old texas national guardsmen bishop evans who drowned while trying to save migrants in the rio grande river. the white house tries to deny any responsibility for the death, dismissing him as a state employee. texas governor greg abbott is making it clear who was at fault. speak it we would not have to have a national guard on the border if the biden administration was very simply enforcing the laws passed by the united states congress and securing our border. >> jesse: people are going to start dying. >> dana: the border patrol, national guardsmen, first responders, they have done amazing work. the children they saved, the babies they saved. you only hear about these tragic situations like with bishop evans because it went so wrong for him. sometimes a government official will say something that takes your breath away. the thought that he was just a state employee. that's being dismissive. and i don't think that was necessarily intended but it came across as very crass. >> geraldo: totally not intended. she didn't want -- >> dana

. >> breaking tonight, texas national guard soldier is still missing. he seem to have drowned after going into the rio grande river to save a migrant. this is concerning from democrats continues to mount about president biden's the station to and -- and democrats fear another illegal migration surge. midterm elections approach, the are applying pressure. and we are learning more tonigh about the suspected killer and reported handyman level of the queens mother who was stabbed dozens of times and stuffed int a duffel bag. he has confessed to the crime and is reportedly in the us illegally. we will have the latest news in the case. remember the former washington state high school football coac he lost a job for praying on th 50-yard line after a game. his case with it to the supreme court on monday. shannon bream sits down with coach joe kennedy for an exclusive interview. first breaking news tonight, washington dc and apparently brandon a group shooting and th city's bustling neighborhood early afternoon. four victims out man and woman and 12-year-old gi

this administration has vilified anybody from borderd patrol to texas national guardn to dps in texas saying that they are racist, that the have somehow have a nefarious agenda when it comes to the job they're doing to defend the country. this is the kind of work that they're doing every day going in the river, taking off their body armor to see if they can save people who areng not americans who are entering the countryil illegally, who are breaking our laws and literally putting their lives on lives on the line every single day. and there's no statement from the white house. there's no concern about the safety that for these people that the administration that they put them in this positionut because they refuse o close the border and they're still doing nothing and title 42 , there's nowic this convenient democratic argumentnot not to d it, but it really just is a talking point because title 42 essentially amended a their releasing single adult males into the country alluntr over the place and theo administration is not going to do anything to change that . what about what about th

i would note the national guard for the state, he is an employee of the texas national guard and his efforts and operation were directed by their, not the federal government. >> look at photos of the specialist i would point out jen psaki's comments are not being received well by officials in texas and national guard soldiers who tell us they are not happy with her saying a state employee sent here by the state, they say the only reason he was out here is the federal government isn't doing their job securing the border. in the meantime bishop evans's family held their own press conference in arlington where they spoke about their loved ones. listen. >> bishop has always been a caring, loving child, to see someone in need or hurting and not help even if he didn't have it. >> reporter: late yesterday, with arizona, louisiana and missouri, a federal judge issued a temporary restraining order against the biden administration which will stop them doing anything with title 42 until there's a next hearing in the case which is set for may 13th so a small delay but significant nonetheless. se
