for, fourth amendment viable searches of individuals who we believe are carrying a weapon to be amplified. we have to revisit the value of stopping -- out and fish from the eighties and nineties and early 2000 because otherwise the bad guys feels empowered carrying a weapon. no different than rivera and his partner. and by the way the offer -- the other most amazing thing is that no one has brought up the restrike rule on the habitual offender role. both of these bad guys if they cut, with a -- new won't go into prison for life with no parole. is called the three strikes law. that's why he opened fire on the effective first grade diller because he knew he was going in forever and ever and ever and that's a fact that's a great long but we have to have to have to be more proactive. otherwise it will continue to carry illegal weapons and they will open fire when they're looking at a heavy heavy sentence as they should

and as the wall. >> sandra: we know this guy, where america who shot and killed ultimately officer diller and is a setback -- driving the vehicle, he -- as we just learned faces 30 years without bail. have the punishments going to fit the crimes here that the two suspects carried out? >> not in my view. not in my view. effective first grade diller -- and his wife stephanie, has received a death sentence and the father is -- i'm on the -- proponent of the death sentence and right -- he was murdered executed, assassinated in cold blood on a lawful stop park illegally on a bus lane. it should be death, that is my view audit. absolutely. thirty years in and by the way bail reform on the lesser -- less is more provisional -- allowed guy rivera to be released if all year early every day -- every 30 days

that he does ostensibly does not have a violation, sandra, you gets released three days earlier from either put him back on the street and an entire year early. you are not having on the street capable of assassinating that active diller is that bail reform, that parachuted onto us two years ago. >> no -- look no further then the family's war with the affected by this. obviously stephanie got officer diller's now widow and mother of their 1-year-old son who has -- without a father, it was stephanie who said "this is a city that needs to get tough on crime not tougher to get tough on crime period because she is blaming that for her husband's death. >> 1000%. did not agree more. you have prosecutors who are ropes note in! you have judges who are handcuffs who have no discretion calendar with discretion under this bail reform on both sentencing and bail. you have to energize the

police county have to empower them to go out and conduct forth amendment constitutionally legal and lawful searches so that the bad guys will not take the risk of carrying a weapon because they know they will be searched. these guys will sense and think about it, there sitting in plain view, illegally parked with two loaded block on the person might be want to know why? in my view because they never thought they researched. by gentlemen -- sorry that assigning officers like detective diller are proactive and they challenge them and that is why he opened fire. >> sandra: just a horrific and such a sad, sad story. and state of affairs in cities like new york where we are seeing the soft on crime policies player far too often an end like this. pat brosnan, thank you. ♪ ♪ >> sandra: this another fox news alert, life to chamblee, georgia where real anymore after that car rammed in to the gate of an fbi office. madison square keno is live there in atlanta and she's

got the latest hi what a relearning? >> the fbi confirmed that the suspect was taken to grady memorial hospital that is in the heart of atlanta for a mental evaluation but they do say that he will be arrested in the car was actually towed away from the facility about 18 minutes ago mark we saw the car being expected for a mile -- a wild by people with gas mask and hazmat outfits on front protections to make sure there wasn't anything dangerous in the car and wasn't getting the all clear because it is now towed away as i just mentioned but it all started around noon when officials say that the driver slams in to the offices employee entrance gates to a security blockade and you can see in the video the blockade works. the driver did not get very far down the car is wrecked, the airbags went off and the f. -- an fbi source and the suspect was actually trying to follow employees in to the gates. is a try to go in to the facility but was unsuccessful. unfortunately -- and

fortunately no one was injured. the fbi says he was not associated with the facility at all and as for the building at the fbi field office is in chamblee, georgia which is a study just outside of atlanta or make it sneer just off of i. 85 north if you're from atlanta you're very familiar with that in their states, -- is one of the 56 field offices nationwide are fbi agents carrier investigations and assess local and regional crime threats. the atlanta field office in particular is known for leaving complex investigations including its cyber program which is one of the busiest teams at the bureau but back out here live as far as the criminal motive or if there was any domestic terrorism involved the fbi says that they cannot answer that at this point but the situation is very much so still developing and we are monitoring everything and we will keep you updated. >> sandra: medicine, thank you. new mark morris performers at the aspect -- nicole parker. nicole --

as it was happening earlier, what can you add what you learned now you mark. >> percival i would like to explain it fbi field offices are extremely secure and did you have these barricades in place just stop individuals of this nature mikael ymer in the fbi miami i can tell you that employee entrance and there is an arm gate, you have to put in your card, within a specific code and then it goes up and there is a barrier and you has to go down in order for you to enter the office. it wouldn't be the first time that a nonfbi employee tried to tailgate an employee and gain entrance in to the fbi office chemicals barricades work and we saw that happened today. fbi field offices have been the target of, you know, threats. this is not the first time. we don't know the details at this point and was a terrorist related? what i do know from individuals sources that i have is that this potentially may have been someone who the fbi had been notified of bolo copy on the lookout for certain individual that may have been threatening that

office or people in that field office in atlanta marc garneau link or, you know, evidence that it is the same individual that he had been warned about but if, you know, is investigation continues i'm sure that the facts will be coming out. 's assistant -- because they are you target. we saw what happened in august of 2022 in the fbi cincinnati field office for an individual again attempted to gain entry in to an fbi office, we were unsuccessful of internet turning in to a high-speed chase and it individual and a being called by law enforcement. so when someone attempts to gain access to an fbi office the office employees you are immediately alerted. agents are alerted. my understanding is that there were ages that help to take down this individual, that our guard gets colour guard shacks, there are law enforcement at the front gates and there is video surveillance is very highly secure but employees are notified and we are trained on how to handle situations when someone is trying to gain entry into our office. >> sandra: nicole, as far as i motive which we do not

have yet, haven't released any sort of motive if they've learned of one and the believe that will make that public? >> you know, at this point it's too premature to say it will make the public. i think that in the environment that we are in there going to try to be as transparent as possible because -- and shohei ohtani go to an fbi field office and try to do that there will be justice served against you and it's important to note that this person has been sent to a hospital for mental evaluation. we have something called complaint daily and you're the one that takes an individuals when they come to their vi field office, if they've done their complaints, you're calling a duty agent. i myself have been on -- have been on-duty state -- duty agent service and i have had an individual come to the field office and threatened to cause harm to us right there. so this is not the first time but we'll see what happens i'm just grateful that no one was hurt and that there were no expensive devices found either. >> sandra: a look at these pictures is hard to think anybody thought they were going to get through that barrier but to your point about times in the past where

you've seen someone trail in another employee after they've keyed -- period through their car and going through the gate that would be unattainable but they were on this almost a minute that it happen. nicole parker, thank you for joining us on the breaking news. wild thousands of migrant heading the u.s. in an new caravan and now a new -- the welcome mat for the. we will explain. but first the world on watch as expected israeli strike is atop taking out a iranian manner. major reverberations from this, we are on it. after that, moscow massacre to make a retired u.s. general sounding the morning. why he says the threat of isis attack here on the homeland is growing. >> i think we should ask -- expect further terms of this measure against the united states as well as our partners and other nations abroad. i think this is inevitable. ♪ ♪

us. >> there has been a lot of back-and-forth on this law, a federal appears court specifically a three-judge panel ruled that listen to arguments about the constitutionality or the merits of this law on wednesday in new orleans. we will be there following the latest developments. the reason that a court in new orleans is listening to arguments about this controversial texas law is because texas falls within the map of the circuit court of appeals, so new orleans is in charge of the state of texas. we expect arguments before this panel to take about an hour and the case will be argued from both sides of the government and those representing the state of texas. you may remember last month the supreme court allowed the texas law, giving local texas law enforcement the ability direct -- arrest anyone who was expected of crossing the border illegally. the supreme court said it could be enforced. just hours later a lower court was a pause or the in-place on that law. the justice department's fighting to make that law on

constitutional arguing that immigration control is entirely federal power. u.s. border patrol it is alone control the border and make arrests but texas governor rick -- greg abbott has said many times the law is needed because of his state sovereignty and safety and design basically the united states government not doing it's job on the u.s. border patrol is understaffed and undermanned. border patrol agents are not doing the proper job according to texas governor greg abbott so he believes that his staff and his team in texas could do better. natural merits of the law meaning the constitutionality will be argued eminently but ultimately, sandra, no matter who wins or who loses, once i will likely go back to the supreme court, once again putting the justices in the middle of this issue in the middle of election season. so back we go to the supreme court. but when is the two be an important day in the life and in the future of this controversial law. >> sandra: and will be watching it, david spunt life

's he is a man accountable for the weapon shipments from iran to places like lebanon and syria and he is also someone who reports directly to top i rgc leadership. no reports to indicate six other members of iran's revolutionary guard corps were killed in the strikes earlier today. serious four minister reacting, saying this... >> voice of interpreter: we strongly condemn this criminal activity by the zionist enemy which led to the best of some innocent -- so again, we emphasize our position our brothers in the iranian embassy and the

islamic republic of iran and we are sure that the islamic republic don't forget their enemies. [ end of interpretation ] >> the location here is important to talk about. we are talking about is strike inside the capitol of damascus at a building just next to the iranian embassy, the question now is if and how iran will respond israeli forces remain on high alert across the country. sandra? >> sandra: très inks on that. thank you. what are the rivers for -- let's ask former cia station chief in moscow and fox news contributor dan hoffman. you're thoughts? >> this was a pretty extraordinary tactical success by the israelis. it's worth noting that they stared the iranian ambas ambassador. they use their intelligence to find and fix the location of the eye rgc commander for lebanon and syria and they use their kinetic -- kinetic capably definition. this is really important for israel both to the great the eye rgc's capabilities but is

also how you deter iran because so much of the weapons in iran is sending to his -- will wright through syria and that is how you do it, you know, we are still not doing much more than shooting down drones from the who sees. i think we can take a bit of israel's book in terms of how to deter iran and the greater capability in terms of their ability to this -- support their proxy terrorist. >> sandra: and the iranian ambassador -- will be harsh so we will be watching for where that goes next. meanwhile we've heard fbi director christopher ray sound the warning over the terror threat from the southern border but now and in the -- is worried and attack here on the homeland could be coming. >> isis-k in particular but isis in general has a strong desire to attack our homeland and mike we should believe them when they say that. are going to try to do it and

so i think the threat is growing. has begun to grow as soon as we left afghanistan and the pressure of isis-k. i think we should expect further attempts of this nature against the united states as well as our partners and other mint nations abroad. offenders is an unavoidable. >> sandra: do you agree with that, dan? >> you have -- general mckenzie is right. we've taken the pressure of isis-k, they enjoy uncovered space of the same sort of a test -- uncovered space that al qaeda -- what concerns me is that they now have you demonstrated external operations capability. to lunch attacks in iran and türkiye and now a mass casualty attack in russia. we are also in their crosshairs and they have every reason to be looking at where we are most vulnerable and that is why i think the concerns about our southern border justified and take the confluence of events right now with israel's counteroffensive in gaza which director ray is also

emphasized has proved to be in force multiplier for terrorist to fund raise and disseminate propaganda and disinformation and attack follow! followers so this is a time to be on high alert impairments me of when my former director, cia george tenet used to say the lights are blinking right. the question is what are we going to do about it? >> sandra: considering the threats -- awarding on netflix is almost in sentence with our military community, ucr use government taking this seriously enough? >> well i think we need to do more, i think the question is now that we left afghanistan we don't have the capability we once had to collect intelligence and deliver kinetic strikes on isis-k and al qaeda in afghanistan. i think this is a good time for the house and senate oversight to be looking at the biden administration and the plan for dealing with this increase threats. you want to deal with them here in the states at the point of attack. we prefer -- what we prefer to do is diagnose threats in

what we call way out of boot mp of the before any crime is harm -- were not in afghanistan anymore so there has to be some plan going forward. i would like to hear what it is from the biden administration. >> sandra: is quite aware from yours while. don hoffman on the -- thank you. >> sandra: new developments meanwhile that crop georgia case renewing the case it -- ronnie willis should stay in the case? find out why. and later, california's 20-dollar minimum wage or fast food workers taking in. of that have more workers down and out? here from a business owner demanding from california's governor. ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ when you're a small business owner, your to-do list can be...a lot.

race, not to through our own racial accusations and then the da doesn't -- does it anyway than she is undermining public faith in the integrity of justice that she is actually demonstrating the kind of disregard for the courts that she was that -- and the job of the prosecutor ultimately is to make sure that the public has faith in the decisions of the courts and the justice system and she is undermining that and that is going to think undermine her ability to carry out this trial and it's only going to help donald trump. >> sandra: considering everything ndjonga said, katie, why do you think she said this? >> i think she's very the apart court to disqualify your of this point. as trumps attorneys pointed out in their appeal one of the questions for this qualification is whether for rednecks misconduct is a basis for this qualification and when exactly that entails and and their arguments based on supreme court precedent that even injecting the idea of race especially in a case that has nothing to do with

race is grounds alone for that disqualification. so certainly it will be interesting if the appellate court except this case what the make of that but i think that you alone could even form the basis for disqualification of -- in the court wants to go there. >> sandra: now this, former president donald from also pushing the boundaries of his gag order in the hush money case, one x. judge saying "he should be jailed if he violates it." what is your take on that john? >> first of all he has first amendment rights. impact think the judges in new york city has gone way too far with these gag orders regularly when the person and selected as one of defendant is also running for pres president, speaking -- which is elections and political speech. i think that the courts have to be very careful in fact more than careful. they should air on the side of donald trump in making sure that the he has the first amendment free speech rights to talk about things

even if it involves criticizing the judge, if he never involves criticizing the decisions for making this case. put it in other ways kevin donaldson could say these things in a courtroom if you can say these things in a courtroom, how can a judge tried to prevent him from seeing them outside the co court? >> sandra: katie? >> i completely agree. i'm not really sure what the basis is for these gag orders. is always unlawful for anybody to obstruct justice or tamper with witnesses and certainly donald trump does have a first amendment right to engage in campaign speech and even in the dc court when they upheld the gag order probably allowed for him to portray the prosecutions against him as political vendetta. so there lying in the sand there is my blindness and there does need to air on the side of donald trump and on his first amendment rights and i certainly don't think that these gag orders have been narrowly tailored enough to meet the standards set by the supreme court. >> sandra: just getting a little bit of an update on that story ends in the criminal hush money -- and

some clarity on its, john, just a quick reaction from the -- the manhattan da office has filed a memorandum in support of their march 28th letter seeking clarification on the gag order. they write about the defendant's dangerous violent and referenceable rhetoric fundamentally's mentoring the integrity of the proceedings and is intended to intimidate witnesses and trial participants alike including this court." you get your ration to that, just in. >> the only ground that this court could have first working donald trump's beach is that it actually threatens but there is an imminent threat of obstruction of justice macniel you can't just as a prosecutor throw that rob flack out of there. out of some proof. has to be evidence i think that donald trump statements actually are interfering with the ability of the court to carry out this trial. you can just accept the

what do you think? >> woll, sandra, this is no surprise to me because we know that donald trump really likes the drama and he liked the suspense that he knows that his supporters like to watch that so they'll appreciate how this process is going to be drawn out but really we've already seen the process playing out i think on cable news. in fact, watching a number of these potential tenders essentially addition really when they do interviews and, you know, speak out in public from campaign events and such so i think we are already seeing this in motion and former president trump is watching closely. >> sandra: a shortlist for some time now is included senator scott -- scott of south carolina -- katie britt of alabama, marco rubio florida, governors normal south dakota, sarah huckabee centers of -- i mean just to name a few. >> yeah. is already long list and i think the question that's the

current campaign is going to have to answer and former president trump is going down to -- "what do these people bring to the ticket that really could make it more of a well-rounded ticket?" is so if we go back to 2016 when former president trump chose indiana governor ash may then indiana governor mike pence i think the logic around that was because mike pence had sweet -- huge sway with the evangelical vote because he wanted to solidify that vote there by this time around talking to sources they say like it has to be a woman or a person of color so senator tim scott of south carolina, trustee known, katie britt calley say that that could help the republican ticket starting with former president trump at the top, may be make some headway with -- which, you know, oftentimes is a woman that ends up playing the deciding vote. so we'll have to see what logic really plays out in terms of the trump team but, you know, they have a big
