Police have issued a dispersal. order right outside of the federal. building. This is one of the few areas. that the National Guard have been. staging. We should say about an hour ago. we were here as swarms of police officer.

and riot gear came into this area. They've created these uh skirmish lines. here. You can see them. They have batons. on. They look prepared to be able to. fire non-lethal rounds. And beyond that. there they've created this line, this. standoff here with those protesters as. they try to clear this area. press. We. have been told to stay on this corner. here. Uh there's another crowd of. protesters growing all as protests. continue to grow nationwide. Tonight, anti-immigration enforcement. protests spreading nationwide. Overnight.

Governor Gavin Newsome asking a court to. block soldiers from enforcing.

immigration laws, posting the federal. government is turning the military. against American citizens. President. Trump saying if he did not deploy them. and the National Guard, things would be. much worse. What you're witnessing in. California is a full-blown assault on. peace, on public order, and on national. sovereignty carried out by riers bearing. foreign flags. Very simply, we will. liberate Los Angeles and make it free, clean, and safe again. President Trump. noting the LAPD chief said Sunday the.

department was overwhelmed. But tonight, Chief Jim McDonald telling us it's. unclear what the Marines will do. Have. you been given any communication from. the federal government about Marines. coming here to the city? You know, I've. heard I've heard like everybody else. has, mostly through the media. Tonight, NBC News learning that the Marines could. be used to provide security and. transportation to ICE agents during. their operations to arrest undocumented. immigrants. A Capitol Hill Defense. Secretary Pete Huggith pressed by. Democrats about the cost of the National.

Guard deployment. Could the secretary. please address the budget? Thank you. You asked about the situation in Los.

No, no good. No, it's very, very bad for. the economy, for the state, California. Yeah, very very scared. Liz joins us again live. Liz, I.

understand just as we went to your. report, some flashbangs went off behind. you. What's going on? Yeah, so we're uh in a crowd of. protesters right now. There's sort of. two crowds of protesters. between them. is that skirmish line of police and we. did hear some flashbangs. Uh for the. most part right now it is peaceful but. the standoff does seem to be escalating. here and we should say Tom we have not. seen Marines on the streets of LA. We. have seen National Guard but just in the. perimeter of federal buildings Tom more. on that in a moment. Liz, we thank you.

Please stay safe out there. What happens. if the courts do stop the president's. deployment? I just spoke to the borders. are about it and Governor Nome's. comments that the Trump administration. is adding to the chaos. From what you've seen, from what you've. heard in Los Angeles, could you conduct. ICE raids right now without the help of. the National Guard and the Marines? We. can conduct ice raids, but it's about. it's about the the the threats uh and. the violence right now. I mean, I this. job's already dangerous. I've done this. for a long time. I mean, our ICE. officers have been attacked. It's like.

we're a third world nation where people. think it's okay to threaten the life and. safety of federal law enforcement. officer and their families. I want to. put up a tweet for you. This is what. Gavin Newsome put on X, right? He put. the photos you see there of Marines. sleeping on top of each other. This is. what he wrote in that post. You sent. your troops here without fuel, food, water, or a place to sleep. Here they. are being forced to sleep on the floor, piled on top of one another. What do you. say to that, Mr. Hman? Let's see. ought. to take a few moments, go downtown LA, and look at the damage been done by.

these radical protesters. I mean, President Trump's saving his city. President Trump's doing what he should. have done. Gavin Nuome could have. responded right away. And everyone want. everybody wants to put the blame on. President Trump and the National Guard. No, know the blame starts. It starts. with the Biden administration with over. 10 million illegal als. trying to respond to the chaos he. created. My thanks to Tom H. Homeman. Now to a. bomb threat called in about a Spirit. Airlines flight from Detroit to Los. Angeles. The FBI says the man who called.

it in was supposed to be on that flight. but missed it. Here's Tom Costello. It happened at Detroit Metropolitan. Airport. We have a situation so we. unfortunately are going to have to. deboard this aircraft and everybody's. going to have to be rescreened. Spirit. Airlines flight 2145 to Los Angeles on. Thursday stopped and held on the runway. after a caller phoned in a bomb threat. If you cooperate with me, which I. greatly appreciate if you could, I will. get this done as quick as I can for you. Everyone on board removed from the plane.

and screened on the runway by TSA dogs. But within just a few hours, the FBI. said they had their suspect, 23-year-old. John Charles Robinson, who allegedly. admitted to calling in the threat after. arriving too late for the flight and. telling the Spirit Airlines rep on the. phone, there's going to be someone. that's going to try to blow up that. flight. 2145. When Robinson then showed. up for the flight that he'd been. rebooked on, he was arrested. Now. charged with use of a cell phone to. threaten maliciously convey a bomb.

threat and phoning in false information. In a statement, the US attorney in. Detroit says, "No American wants to hear. the words bomb and airplane in the same. sentence. Making this kind of threat. undermines our collective sense of. security and wastes valuable law. enforcement resources." Robinson is now. out on a $10,000 bond. His first court. appearance is on June 27th. Tom. All. right, Tom, we thank you. Now to the. absolute shock overseas and horror over. a school shooting in a place where they.

rarely happen. A gunman opened fire at a. high school in Austria, killing 10. people and himself. Molly Hunter has. that story. In the middle of class, multiple. gunshots ringing out, piercing the calm at this high school in. Gratz, Austria's second largest city. Police responding within minutes. Special forces on the scene, evacuating. terrified students. At least 10 people were killed and 11. injured when a 21-year-old former.

student who never graduated opened fire. around 10:00 a.m. He operated alone, police say, using two weapons he owned. legally. After the shooting spree, he. took his own life in the school's. bathroom. Ada, a student at the school, said it. was so unexpected. We had so many. injuries, even our teacher died. this afternoon. People lining up to. donate blood. The only way um possible. to help. The only thing we can do to.

help. Tonight, some mothers lucky enough. to be taking their children home. I'm thinking about how bad it is for. other parents. This mother, Eva says, "I. get scared all the time. Her son is safe. tonight. But he called me while the. whole thing was happening. She says, tonight in grats, thousands coming. together. A nation stunned. The horror of this. kind of shooting so rare.

And Molly joins us now live. Molly, we're learning more about the weapons. the shooter had access to. Tom, that's right. And authorities say. the suspect was unknown to them. So, a. big part of the investigation. We'll now. focus on the weapons that he used, how. he got them. Police say he used a. handgun and a long gun. Tom. Okay, Molly. Hunter for us. Molly, thank you. We want. to stay overseas now with the emotional. homecomings tonight as Russia and. Ukraine exchanged prisoners with. desperate families finally seeing their. loved ones again after they were locked.

up in Russia. Richard Engles in Ukraine. for us. Today, dozens of Ukrainian. prisoners of war were freed in an. exchange with Russia. They were greeted to a hero's welcome at. a hospital north of Kev. But they looked like the living dead, gaunt, heads shaven, their bodies. broken, and some said beaten. Alexander. Kulov told me he was a prisoner for over.

3 years and that the Russians broke his. ribs. If nothing was already broken, they. would break it. He said hundreds of. families of missing Ukrainians tried to. show the P's photographs, hoping one of. them might have seen their lost father, son, or brother. Olgaichuk had no luck. I am happy for those who have been. returned, but I am so sorry my husband. is not among them, she said. But just a. few feet away, Tanya Sheshak couldn't.

contain her joy. A prisoner saw her. father two days ago and said he's doing. well. This is the first information. First time you learn that your father is. still alive. How are you doing? Oh, very very. exciting. I can feel you squeezing my. arm. Wow. Even with peace talks stalled. after today, there's renewed hope. there'll be more prisoner exchanges. Tom. Richard Angel for us from Ukraine. tonight. Back here at home, the future. of vaccine recommendations remains in.

question following the move by Health. Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. to. retire all the members of a CDC panel of. independent experts advising on. vaccines. Here's Anne Thompson. Fierce blowback tonight to HHS Secretary. Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s decision to. remove all members of the CDC's vaccine. advisory committee. from public health. experts recommended. If this committee. stops recommending vaccines, insurance. won't cover it anymore. People will not. get it, you will have a real impact on.

people's access to vaccines. And the. American Academy of Pediatrics, I think. we're we're likely to see diseases that. we've that many people have never seen. before or even heard of. Concern from. parents. Don Gibson, father of two in. California. I'm really worried that my. children won't have access to vaccines. that I did. Mom Harmony Montes in the. heart of the recent West Texas measles. outbreak. I very much trust vaccines. Kennedy, a longtime vaccine skeptic, in. today's Wall Street Journal, writing, "A.

clean sweep is needed to reestablish. public confidence in vaccine science,". claiming the committee has been plagued. with persistent conflicts of interest. The committee is made up of independent. medical and public health experts who. make recommendations to the CDC about. vaccine usage. Louisiana Senator Bill. Cassidy, a doctor, said in February, Kennedy and the Trump White House. promised him this. It confirmed he will. maintain the Centers for Disease Control.

and Prevention's Advisory Committee on. Immunization Practices recommendations. without changes. Today, Cassidy was. cautious. I'll have to see. He he'll far. me the names, but I can't answer that. because I haven't seen the names yet. Do. you see this increasing trust in. vaccines? I I don't see how it possibly. could. Trust and the nation's health. experts say potentially at risk. Anne. Thompson, NBC News. We're back now with. a tense scene in Texas where a Union.

Pacific train derailed Monday evening. and walks a Hatchee. Look at this. 16. cars, most of them carrying ethanol, jumped the tracks. Authorities say no. leaks have been detected and city. officials stress there is no immediate. danger. They're still looking into how. this happened. Now to the new twist in. the ongoing feud between President Trump. and his one top ally Elon Musk. Look at. this. Our cameras capturing the moment. outside the West Wing when President. Trump's valet drove off with the red. Tesla that Trump purchased in a show of. support for Musk. The president telling.

reporters yesterday he may move the. Tesla around a little bit when asked if. he planned to get rid of it. All right, when we come back, a degree decades in. the making. A grandmother finally. getting her diploma. That's next. Finally, there's good news tonight. One. grandmother in Maine graduating at 88. years old. Why, it took almost 60 years. for this graduate to get her degree. The year was 1959, and Joan Alexander. was getting ready to graduate from the.

University of Maine with hopes of. becoming a teacher. But then came the. big news. She and her husband were. expecting. At the time, pregnant women. weren't allowed to participate as. student teachers. All all these years, I. hadn't realized that I had this big hole. in my life. And that's what it was, the. lack of the diploma. As years went by, Joan's family grew, and she began. volunteering in schools, helping young. preschool children learn to read. Her. four daughters would eventually all.

graduate from college. But over the. years, Joan's youngest, Tracy, said. something was missing. So, I felt like. it was important for her to have that. degree that she earned. So, last year, Tracy called the University of Maine and. made her mother's case. Why did you want. to do this for your mom? It always made. me kind of sad to think that she had. done everything that she could do and. that she wasn't able to get this degree. The university looked into it and. determined Joan did meet the student. teaching requirement. I think he said, "Mom, you're going to be a graduate." We.

both cried. That day, the super senior making. history. At age 88, Joan became the. oldest undergrad to receive a degree. from the University of Maine. After I. got it, that hole filled up and I felt. like I was a finished person. A big congrats to Joan. That's Nightly. News for this Tuesday. Remember, tonight. and always, we're here for you.
