THIS IS WORLD NEWS TONIGHT. - GOOD EVENING EVERYONE, THANKS SO MUCH FOR JOINING US. ON THIS BUSY SUNDAY, I'M LINSEY DAVIS. TONIGHT, PRESIDENT TRUMP'S RESPONSE WHEN PRESSED. ON UPHOLDING THE CONSTITUTION DURING THE DEPORTATION. OF MIGRANTS, BUT WE DO BEGIN WITH. WEATHER AND DRY CONDITIONS FUELING A FAST-MOVING. WILDFIRE NEAR A POPULAR VACATION RESORT. IN NORTH CAROLINA. THE SO-CALLED SUNSET ROAD FIRE IN BOILING SPRING LAKES HAS. SCORCHED AT LEAST 1,500 ACRES, TRIPLING IN SIZE OVERNIGHT AND.

IS ONLY 10 PERCENT CONTAINED. A 10-YEAR-OLD DIED THIS WEEKEND AFTER A POWERFUL STORM CAUSED. A TREE TO CRASH THROUGH THE ROOF OF HER HOME IN ATLANTA. MILLIONS IN THE SOUTH FACE A NEW ROUND OF SEVERE WEATHER. TO START OFF THE WORK WEEK. LET'S GET RIGHT TO METEOROLOGIST DANNY BECKSTROM FROM OUR. NEW YORK STATION, WABC. DANNY, IS THERE ANY RELIEF ON THE WAY FOR FIREFIGHTERS? THERE IS, LINSEY, BECAUSE THE SAME SYSTEM THAT BROUGHT THE. SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS THE EAST COAST TO START THE WEEKEND. NOW TRANSITIONING TO A RAINMAKER, AS YOU CAN SEE. BEHIND ME IN NEW YORK CITY, AND THAT WILL BENEFIT THE.

DROUGHT AREAS THAT HAVE BEEN FUELING THESE WILDFIRES. THIS SYSTEM IS SLOW TO CLEAR OUT WITH OFTEN. ON RAIN AND SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS THE. NORTHEAST TONIGHT INTO THE START OF THE WORK WEEK. THEN OUR ATTENTION TURNS TO A NEW THREAT UNFOLDING. IN PARTS OF THE PLAINS AND SOUTH. SEVERE STORMS WITH DAMAGING WIND AND HAIL ARE. POSSIBLE ACROSS A LARGE PORTION OF TEXAS ON MONDAY. AND TUESDAY. HOWEVER, OUR GREATER CONCERN IS THE. WIDESPREAD FLASH FLOOD RISK ON TUESDAY FROM TEXAS TO. ALABAMA. THE AREAS IN RED THERE ARE WHERE NUMEROUS. FLASH FLOODS ARE EXPECTED AND IMPACTS COULD. BE SIGNIFICANT. AND RECENT RAIN IN THE SAME AREA MEANS THE GROUND IS.

ALREADY SATURATED AND ANY ADDITIONAL RAINFALL CAN. BE THAT MUCH MORE DANGEROUS. LINSEY? - ALL RIGHT, UNDERSTOOD. DANNY, THANK YOU. NOW TO TONIGHT'S OTHER MAJOR NEWS. PRESIDENT TRUMP IS FACING TOUGH QUESTIONS. OVER UPHOLDING THE US CONSTITUTION. THE PRESIDENT IS DEFENDING HIS IMMIGRATION CRACKDOWN, BUT DEFERRED TO HIS ATTORNEYS WHEN ASKED ABOUT DUE. PROCESS DURING DEPORTATIONS. HERE'S ABC'S SENIOR WHITE HOUSE CORRESPONDENT, SELINA WANG. TONIGHT, PRESIDENT TRUMP DEFENDING HIS AGGRESSIVE. IMMIGRATION PLAN, ARGUING HIS CAMPAIGN PROMISE.

TO DEPORT UNDOCUMENTED MIGRANTS MAY SUPERSEDE GIVING THOSE. TARGETED THEIR CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHTS TO DUE PROCESS. ASKED WHETHER HE AS PRESIDENT NEEDED TO UPHOLD. THE CONSTITUTION, TRUMP SAID HE WASN'T SURE, DEFERRING TO HIS LAWYERS. I DON'T KNOW. WELL, THE FIFTH AMENDMENT SETS US UP. I DON'T KNOW. IT SEEMS, IT MIGHT SAY THAT, BUT IF YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT. THAT, THEN WE'D HAVE TO HAVE A MILLION OR TWO MILLION. OR THREE MILLION TRIALS. WE HAVE THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE THAT ARE SOME MURDERERS AND. SOME DRUG DEALERS AND SOME OF THE WORST PEOPLE ON EARTH.

BUT IT'S━ SOME OF THE WORST, MOST. DANGEROUS PEOPLE ON EARTH. AND I WAS ELECTED TO GET THEM THE HELL OUT OF HERE, AND. THE COURTS ARE HOLDING ME FROM DOING IT. BUT EVEN GIVEN THOSE NUMBERS THAT YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT, DON'T YOU NEED TO UPHOLD THE CONSTITUTION OF THE. UNITED STATES AS PRESIDENT? I DON'T KNOW. I HAVE TO RESPOND BY SAYING AGAIN, I HAVE BRILLIANT LAWYERS THAT WORK FOR ME. AND THEY ARE GOING TO OBVIOUSLY FOLLOW WHAT. THE SUPREME COURT SAID. WHAT YOU SAID IS NOT WHAT I HEARD THE SUPREME.

COURT SAID. THEY HAVE A DIFFERENT INTERPRETATION. IMMIGRATION CRACKDOWN FACING ESCALATING LEGAL. CHALLENGES. THE FIFTH AMENDMENT GUARANTEES THAT THE FEDERAL. GOVERNMENT CANNOT DEPRIVE A PERSON OF LIFE, LIBERTY. OR PROPERTY WITHOUT DUE PROCESS OF LAW. TRUMP'S USE OF A CENTURIES-OLD WARTIME. LAW TO DEPORT UNDOCUMENTED MIGRANTS WITH LITTLE. OR NO DUE PROCESS UNDER SCRUTINY AFTER THE. ADMINISTRATION DEPORTED AT LEAST ONE MIGRANT BY. MISTAKE. KILMAR ABREGO GARCIA, A CONSTRUCTION.

WORKER LIVING IN MARYLAND WHO FLED EL SALVADOR WHEN. HE WAS 16 SENT TO THE COUNTRY'S NOTORIOUS SET. COP PRISON DUE TO AN ADMINISTRATIVE ERROR. THE SUPREME COURT MAKING IT CLEAR. THE TRUMP ADMINISTRATION MUST GIVE DEPORTEES THEIR. RIGHT TO DO PROCESS AND ORDERING THEM TO FACILITATE. A BREGO GARCIA'S RETURN. TRUMP PREVIOUSLY TOLD ABC NEWS HE HAS THE POWER. TO DO SO, BUT NOW SAYS IT'S ACTUALLY UP TO THE GOVERNMENT OF. EL SALVADOR. "THE DECISION AS TO WHETHER OR NOT HE SHOULD COME BACK WILL.

BE THE HEAD OF EL SALVADOR. HE'S A VERY CAPABLE MAN.". AND LINSEY, PRESIDENT TRUMP HAS OFTEN FLOATED THE IDEA OF. RUNNING FOR A THIRD TERM, EVEN THOUGH IT'S PROHIBITED. UNDER THE CONSTITUTION. BUT IN THIS LATEST INTERVIEW, PRESIDENT TRUMP THROWING COLD. WATER ON THAT IDEA, MENTIONING HIS VICE PRESIDENT, J.D. VANCE, AND HIS SECRETARY OF STATE MARCO. RUBIO AS POSSIBLE SUCCESSORS. LINSEY? SELINA WANG FROM THE. WHITE HOUSE TONIGHT. THANK YOU. NEXT, A MAJOR RESCUE AFTER A LAMBORGHINI YACHT BEGAN TO SINK. OFF THE COAST OF MIAMI BEACH.
