TODAY AFTER WEEKS OF CHAOS.

AND AS TENSIONS RISE, THE

GOVERNMENT PLANNING TO SEND TWO

HELICOPTERS INTO HAITI EVERY

DAY, HOPING TO GET ABOUT 30

CITIZENS OUT ON THOSE FLIGHTS.

AND THIS IS WHAT THEY'RE

FLEEING --

GANGS OVERRUNNING ENTIRE

NEIGHBORHOODS, FIGHTING THE

POLICE.

IT'S NOT HYPERBOLE TO SAY THAT

THE ONLY THING THAT'S STANDING

IN BETWEEN GANGS COMPLETELY

TAKING OVER THIS COUNTRY ARE A

COUPLE THOUSAND POLICE OFFICERS

WHO ARE RISKING THEIR LIVES

EVERY SINGLE DAY, FIGHTING BACK

AGAINST THESE GANGS.

HERE IN PORT-au-PRINCE, WE GO

MEET ONE OF THOSE OFFICERS ON

THE FRONT LINES, PART OF A

SPECIALIZED UNIT FIGHTING THE

GANGS TERRORIZING THIS CITY.

THIS OFFICER MEETING US INDOORS,

COVERING HIS FACE FOR HIS OWN

>>> IT WAS LAST NIGHT HERE, WE

REPORTED THE SUPREME COURT HAD

CLEARED THE WAY FOR TEXAS TO

MOVE AHEAD WITH ITS OWN NEW

IMMIGRATION LAW, MAKING ARRESTS

AND DEPORTATIONS ON ITS OWN, AT

LEAST FOR NOW.

WELL TONIGHT, THAT LAW IS BACK

ON HOLD AMID QUESTIONS AND

CONFUSION OVER HOW TO ENFORCE

IT.

ABC'S MIREYA VILLARREAL FROM EL

PASO TONIGHT.

UNCERTAINTY AT THE SOUTHERN

BORDER WITH THE LAW THAT WOULD

ALLOW TEXAS TO ARREST, DEPORT,

OR IMPRISON ANYONE THEY BELIEVE

MAY HAVE ENTERED THE U.S.

ILLEGALLY NOW IN LEGAL LIMBO.

>> WE ARE NOT GOING TO

PRIORITIZE THIS.

WE ARE UNFAMILIAR WITH FEDERAL

IMMIGRATION LAW.

THAT'S NOT OUR JOB

RESPONSIBILITY.

>> Reporter: OVERNIGHT, THE U.S.

SUPREME COURT RULED THE LAW

KNOWN AS SB-4 COULD TEMPORARILY

TAKE EFFECT WHILE IT WAS

CHALLENGED IN A LOWER COURT OF

APPEALS.

HOURS LATER, THAT APPEALS COURT

BLOCKED THE TEXAS LAW AGAIN IN

ANTICIPATION OF ORAL ARGUMENTS

ON THE CASE TODAY.

THE LEGAL WHIPLASH LEADING TO

CONFUSION AND FRUSTRATION IN

BORDER COMMUNITIES LIKE EL PASO.

>> IT'S A RACIAL PROFILING

ISSUE, AS WELL.

THAT'S OUR CONCERN.

OUR DEPARTMENT HAS BEEN VERY,

VERY FORTUNATE TO NOT HAVE ANY

RACIAL PROFILING COMPLAINTS FOR

SEVERAL YEARS, AND WE WANT TO

MAINTAIN THAT STANDARD.

EVERY TOOL AND STRATEGY THEY CAN

TO ARREST PEOPLE, JAIL THESE

PEOPLE CROSSING THE BORDER.

>> Reporter: DAVID, DESPITE THE

BATTLE OVER SB-4, HERE IN EL

PASO AND ALL ALONG THE SOUTHWEST

BORDER, THERE HAS BEEN A SHARP

DECREASE IN THE NUMBER OF

MIGRANT APPREHENSIONS.

WE'VE SEEN ABOUT 4,000 A DAY,

AND THAT IS A BIG DECREASE FROM

WHAT WE SAW, THOSE

RECORD-BREAKING NUMBERS BACK IN

DECEMBER.

DAVID?

>> David: A BIG DECREASE, AND

STILL A CONCERN.

MIREYA VILLARREAL TONIGHT IN

TEXAS.

MIREYA, THANK YOU.

AMERICAN JOBS OVERSEAS FOR

CHEAPER LABOR AND IMPORTED

PRODUCTS.

PRESIDENT SEEMING TO ACKNOWLEDGE

THAT EVEN THOUGH THE ECONOMY IS

IMPROVING, MANY AMERICANS JUST

AREN'T FEELING IT.

PRICES.

INFLATION IS DOWN DRAMATICALLY.

WE HAVE MORE TO DO, I GET IT, WE

HAVE MORE TO DO, BUT NO QUESTION

OUR PLAN OF DELIVERING FOR THE

AMERICAN PEOPLE IS WORKING NOW.

>> Reporter: AND TONIGHT, DAVID,

THE PRESIDENT ALSO UNVEILING THE

STRICTEST CAR EMISSIONS IN

HISTORY.

THIS MEANS BY 2032, MOST NEW

CARS SOLD IN AMERICA WILL LIKELY

BE ELECTRIC.

BUT THIS IS A POLITICALLY LOADED

MOVE.

DONALD TRUMP HAS CLAIMED THAT

ELECTRIC VEHICLES WILL KILL THE

AMERICAN AUTO INDUSTRY, BUT THE

BIDEN ADMINISTRATION SAYS THIS

CHANGE, AND IT PUTS AMERICA AT

THE FOREFRONT OF THE ELECTRIC

VEHICLE INDUSTRY.
