PRESIDENT TRUMP POSTING, WE WILL BE THERE FOR OUR NEW AND GREAT FRIENDS. EARLY REPORTS ARE NOT GOOD, AND. HERE IN SOUTH FLORIDA THEY'RE PUTTING TOGETHER AID. PACKAGES AT THE GLOBAL EMPOWERMENT MISSIONS DONATION CENTER, SO MANY EAGER TO HELP. YOU KNOW, I'M A US CITIZEN, BUT I WILL ALWAYS BE VENEZUELAN.

OF THE PLACES WHERE THEY'RE LOOKING FOR SURVIVORS, AND ANA VANESSA, IT IS A GUT PUNCH TO SEE THIS KIND OF DAMAGE, AND OFFICIALS STILL DON'T HAVE A HANDLE OF THE FULL SCOPE OF THIS DISASTER YET, RIGHT? THAT'S RIGHT, HALLIE. SEARCHING EFFORTS ARE STILL ONGOING HERE IN ONE. OF THE SITES THAT WAS AFFECTED RIGHT BEHIND ME. IN THIS BUILDING. FIREFIGHTERS ARE TRYING TO LOOK AND. HERE ANYONE THAT MIGHT BE ALIVE UNDER THE CONCRETE. THIS IS ONE OF THE MANY SITES AROUND THE CITY, AND PEOPLE ARE JUST DESPERATE FOR INFORMATION.

A WOMAN EVEN TELLING ME THAT HE, BUT SHE'S QUICKLY LOSING HOPE THAT SHE MIGHT STILL BE ALIVE. NOW THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH RESOURCES, SO AUTHORITIES ARE ASKING CIVILIANS TO BRING THEM.

JONATHAN DEINST IS JOINING US NOW.

SO JONATHAN, TELL US MORE ABOUT WHAT YOU'RE LEARNING. HALLEY SOURCES FAMILIAR WITH. THE MATTER SAY THE PLEA TALKS IN THE FEDERAL CASE. APPEAR TO BE GETTING CLOSER EARLIER THIS WEEK BUT HAVE SINCE FALLEN ASIDE. IT COMES JUST WEEKS AFTER MANGIONI'S DEFENSE TEAM SAID. IT PLANNED TO PURSUE A PSYCHIATRIC DEFENSE. IN THE STATE MURDER CASE. BEFORE ABRUPTLY WITHDRAWING IT. MANGIONI FACES BOTH FEDERAL AND STATE CHARGES. IN THE DECEMBER 2024. SHOOTING DEATH. OF UNITED HEALTHCARE CEO BRIAN THOMPSON.

THE US ATTORNE. FBI, AND MANHATTAN DA ALL DECLINED TO COMMENT. ONE OF MANGIONI'S LAWYERS SAYING IN PART, THIS INFORMATION ATTRIBUTED TO ANONYMOUS SOURCES.

MANGIONI IS DUE IN FEDERAL COURT ON MONDAY. HE HAS PLEADED NOT GUILTY. HALL. ONE TO WATCH. JONATHAN DEINST, THANK YOU. HERE IN WASHINGTON,

A NEW LANDMARK SUPREME COURT RULING COMES DOWN IN FAVOR OF PRESIDENT TRUMP'S. IMMIGRATION POLICIES AND SETS THE STAGE FOR A POSSIBLE WAVE OF NEW DEPORTATIONS. LAURA JARRETT EXPLAINS. TONIGHT, IMMIGRATION ADVOCATES ON EDGE. THE COURT'S CONSERVATIVE MAJORITY. CLEARING THE WAY FOR THE ADMINISTRATION TO NOW. STRIP HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF HAITIAN AND SYRIAN REFUGEES. OF THE LEGAL PROTECTIONS. THAT HAVE ALLOWED THEM AND OTHERS TO LIVE AND WORK IN THE UNITED STATES FOR YEARS. FOR MANY OF US, THIS RULING IS NOT JUST ABOUT POLICY.

IT IS ABOUT OUR HOMES, OUR FAMILIES, OUR FUTURE. CONGRESS CREATED THE PROGRAM KNOWN AS TEMPORARY PROTECTED STATUS, OR TPS IN 1990. TO HELP THOSE FLEEING ARMED CONFLICT OR NATURAL DISASTERS. OVER 300,000 HAITIANS AND OVER 6000 SYRIANS IN. THE US ARE ESTIMATED CURRENTLY TO HAVE PROTECTION, BUT HOMELAND SECURITY UNDER PRESIDENT TRUMP HAS. TO END PROTECTIONS FOR SEVERAL COUNTRIES,

PROMPTING IMMIGRANT RIGHTS GROUPS TO SUE, POINTING TO TRUMP'S PAST DEROGATORY STATEMENTS. ABOUT HAITIAN IMMIGRANTS IN SPRINGFIELD, THEY'RE EATING THE DOGS, THE PEOPLE THAT CAME IN, THEY'RE EATING THE CATS. IN A DIVIDED RULING, THE CONSERVATIVE MAJORITY TODAY FINDING THE COURTS GENERALLY. BARRED FROM SECOND GUESSING DHS'S DECISION MAKING. AND THE PRESIDENT'S STATEMENTS NOT OVERTLY RACIAL. ADMINISTRATION OFFICIALS PRAISING THE DECISION. TEMPORARY MEANS TEMPORARY. WHEN THE CONDITION OF THAT COUNTRY GETS BETTER,

THEY NEED TO GO HOME. LAURA IS JOINING US NOW AND LAURA, THIS IS NOT THE ONLY IMMIGRATION WIN THAT THE COURT HANDED THE PRESIDENT TODAY. HALLIE, THAT'S RIGHT, THE JUSTICES HAVE NOW GIVEN THE PRESIDENT THE. GREEN LIGHT TO TURN AWAY SCORES OF MIGRANTS. AT THE US-MEXICO BORDER, OBVIOUSLY PART OF HIS LARGER. BORDER CRACKDOWN. WE'VE SEEN. ASYLUM SEEKERS TRYING TO ACTUALLY. MAKE THOSE CLAIMS ON FOREIGN SOIL, BUT TODAY. THE JUSTICES AGREEING WITH THE TRUMP ADMINISTRATION THAT THEY CAN IN FACT. TURN.

AWAY, BUT THIS CASE HALLIE QUITE FIERY. IT PROMPTED A VERY HEATED DISSENT FROM JUSTICE SOTOMAYOR ON THE LIBERAL SIDE. TO WHICH THEN JUSTICE ALITO RESPONDED, ISSUING HIS OWN REBUTTAL OF SORTS. HALLIE, THIS IS SOMETHING YOU NEVER SEE. ON THE BENCH AS OPINIONS ARE HANDED DOWN. AS THIS THIS TERM COMES TO A CLOSE HERE IN JUST THE COMING DAYS. AND MORE TO COME. LAURA JARRETT, THANK YOU VERY MUCH. TO STUNNING DEVELOPMENTS NOW IN AN NFL STAR'S ARREST WITH A STANDOUT DETROIT LIONS. PLAYER BEHIND BARS ACCUSED OF LEADING A BRUTAL KIDNAPPING AND ARMED ROBBERY PLOT.

JESSE KIRSCH HAS THE LATEST. DETROIT LIONS CORNERBACK TERREON ARNOLD APPEARING IN A TAMPA. COURTROOM TODAY FACING THE POSSIBILITY OF LIFE IN PRISON. POLICE SAY THE NFL STANDOUT PLOTTED AN ATTACK ON 3 TEENAGERS, INCLUDING 2 HE SUSPECTED STOLE FROM HIM EARLIER THIS YEAR, EVEN THOUGH THEY WERE CLEARED BY INVESTIGATORS. OFFICIALS SAY THE VICTIMS WERE. BATTERED, HELD AT GUNPOINT, AND PISTOL WHIPPED BEFORE THEIR PERSONAL PROPERTY WAS STOLEN. WHILE ONE OF THE ATTACKERS STREAMED THE INCIDENT TO ARNOLD AND OTHERS.

INVESTIGATORS ALSO DISCOVERING A GROUP CHAT WHERE ARNOLD AND. ANOTHER DEFENDANT ALLEGEDLY GAVE DIRECTIONS DURING THE ASSAULT. 6 PEOPLE WERE ARRESTED MONTHS AGO. 2 HAVE PLEADED GUILTY. JUST DAYS AGO, ARNOLD WAS ASKED ABOUT THE ALLEGATIONS. I JUST WANT TO FOCUS ON FOOTBALL. THEN WEDNESDAY, ARNOLD TURNED HIMSELF IN, HIS REPRESENTATIVE TELLING NBC NEWS IN PART HE MAINTAINS HIS INNOCENCE, ADDING THE GOVERNMENT APPEARS TO BE RELYING ON TESTIMONY FROM. PEOPLE WHO MAY HAVE SUBSTANTIAL INCENTIVES TO SHIFT BLAME.

ARNOLD FACES KIDNAPPING AND ARMED ROBBERARGES. PROSECUTORS SAY HE WILL REMAIN BEHIND BARS. AT LEAST UNTIL A PRETRIAL DETENTION HEARING. ON MONDAY. HALLIE. JESSE KIRSCH, THANK YOU. WE ARE BACK IN 60 SECONDS WITH OUR SERIES THE COST OF DENIAL. WHY THIS MILITARY FAMILY SAYS THEY'RE BEING DENIED COVERAGE. FOR THE AUTISM THERAPY THEIR SON DESPERATELY NEEDS. AND LEGENDARY SINGER LIONEL RICHIE CUTS HIS CONCERT SHORT ON. THE FIRST NIGHT OF HIS TOUR AFTER A HEALTH SCARE. HIS STATUS TONIGHT, PLUS THE FAN FRENZY OVER TONIGHT'S US MEN'S WORLD CUP GAME,

WHAT THE TEAM HAS TO DO TO MAKE HISTORY. BACK WITH OUR SERIES THE COST OF DENIAL, WE'VE BROUGHT YOU THE STORY OF WIDESPREAD DENIALS IN RECENT WEEKS IN. THE PENTAGON'S HEALTH CARE PROGRAM FOR. ACTIVE DUTY AND RETIRED MILITARY PERSONNEL. WELL TONIGHT, ERIN MCLAUGHLIN REPORTS ON HOW THE SAME PROGRAM DOES NOT. COVER CERTAIN THERAPIES FOR AUTISM THAT MOST INSURANCE PLANS DO, AND ONE FAMILY'S FIGHT TO CHANGE THAT. 10 YEAR OLD LOGAN KABYA HAS SEVERE AUTISM AND IS NONVERBAL.

NORMAL EVERYDAY ACTIVITIES ARE A STRUGGLE. IT'S OK. IT'S OK, LIKE GETTING DRESSED. AND USING THE BATHROOM. EVEN A SIMPLE TRIP TO THE GROCERY STORE CAN BE AN ORDEAL. YOU CAN'T SIT IN THE MIDDLE OF THE. GROWING UP IN FLORIDA'S PANHANDLE, LOGAN REQUIRES CONSTANT ATTENTION FROM HIS MOM, CHRISTIE. A PHYSICIAN TURNED STAY AT HOME PARENT.

AND HIS DAD MARIO, A RETIRED AIR FORCE PILOT, HE REQUIRES AN INTENSIVE THERAPY CALLED APPLIED BEHAVIOR ANALYSIS, AIMED AT HELPING CHILDREN WITH AUTISM BUILD ESSENTIAL LIFE SKILLS. HOW IMPORTANT ARE. ABA SERVICES. TO FAMILIES LIKE OURS? IT'S LIKE LIFE CHANGING. BECAUSE. WHEN HE STARTED, I HAD A LOT OF LIKE GUILT. BECAUSE I FELT LIKE I COULDN'T HELP HIM. AND TO HAVE SOMEBODY.

YOU WHY ARE YOU EMOTIONAL? BECAUSE. I FELT LIKE I COULDN'T HELP THEM. AND THEN WHEN OUR THERAPIST CAME IN. UH, FINALLY, SHE'S LIKE, IT'S NOT YOUR FAULT. AND SHE HELPED US, BUT SEVERAL YEARS AGO THEY SAY TRICARE, THE HEALTH CARE COVERAGE PROGRAM FOR ACTIVE DUTY AND RETIRED MILITARY FAMILIES, CUT BACK ON THAT HIGHLY FOCUSED THERAPY. WHILE LOGAN STILL RECEIVES COVERAGE FOR SOME ABA THERAPY AT A NEARBY CENTER,

THE PENTAGON'S DEFENSE HEALTH AGENCY, WHICH OVERSEES TRICARE, STOPPED COVERING THE THERAPY THAT TEACHES BASIC ACTIVITIES OF DAILY LIVING. THEY SAID THAT'S BABYSITTING. AND IT WAS REALLY OFFENSIVE. AND THEN THEY SAID THEY SHOULDN'T BE COMING. TO YOUR MEDICAL APPOINTMENTS OR YOUR DENTAL APPOINTMENTS. AND HOW DID YOUR LIFE CHANGE? SO I STOPPED GOING TO THE GROCERY STORE. WE DIDN'T GO TO CHURCH FOR A LONG WHILE. WE DID NOT GO OUT TO EAT.

SO ALLHAT SOCIAL CONTACT STOPPED. NBC NEWS FOUND THAT MOST MAJOR HEALTH INSURANCE PLANS. IN THE US COVER THESE SPECIALIZED AUTISM TREATMENTS, BUT THE DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE SAID IN A REPORT TO CONGRESS. ABA SERVICES DO NOT MEET THE TRICARE HIERARCHY. OF RELIABLE EVIDENCE STANDARD FOR PROVEN MEDICAL CARE. LOGAN'S MOM, CHRISTIE FOUNDED A GROUP TO FIGHT THAT DECISION. THIS IS THE REPORT? THAT'S THE REPORT. SHE LOBBIED THE US CONGRESS TO COMMISSION AN INDEPENDENT STUDY EXPLORING THE. ISSUE.

LAST YEAR, THE COMMITTEE FOUND THE SCIENTIFIC EVIDENCE SUPPORTING ABA THERAPY IS ROBUST. AND MEETS THE DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE'S OWN CRITERIA OF RELIABLE EVIDENCE. THE REPORT ALSO RECOMMENDED THE DOD AUTHORIZE COVERAGE OF ABA AS A BASIC BENEFIT. AND ENSURE ITS POLICIES ALIGN WITH CURRENT GENERALLY ACCEPTED STANDARDS OF CARE, INCLUDING ACTIVITIES OF DAILY LIVING. SO WE WROTE A LETTER TO THE DEFENSE HEALTH AGENCY AND SAID, THESE RESULTS ARE OUTSTANDING AND WE'RE STILL WAITING.

THE DEFENSE HEALTH AGENCY DID NOT REPLY TO OUR REQUEST F. C. LOGAN'S PARENTS BELIEVE WITH MORE SERVICES. HE'D HAVE A BETTER CHANCE AT A MORE INDEPENDENT FUTURE. FOR ME AS A MILITARY MEMBER, YOU KNOW, I TAKE A LOT OF PRIDE IN WHAT WE DO. I'M MAD ON BEHALF OF THE FAMILY, BUT I I. WE'RE AN ORGANIZATION THAT. IS EXCELLENT, AND IT MAKES ME MAD THAT WE CAN'T BE. EXCELLENT IN THIS REALM. IT MAKES ME MAD. YEAH, IT MAKES ME EMOTIONAL. IT MAKES ME MAD. I'M PROUD OF YOU.

WE DON'T LEAVE OTHER FAMILIES BEHIND. NOT IN THE MILITARY. ERIN MCLAUGHLIN, NBC NEWS, NICEVILLE, FLORIDA. WE ARE BACK IN A MOMENT WITH AN UPDATE TO A STORY WE TOLD YOU ABOUT LAST NIGHT. THE FORMER YOUTH PASTOR ACCUSED OF KILLING HIS WIFE 20. YEARS AGO WAS SUPPOSED TO BE IN COURT TODAY. THE REASON THE JUDGE SAYS HE WASN'T THERE. AND THE DEEPLY PERSONAL NEWS SHARED TODAY BY TENNIS LEGEND CHRIS EVERT. HER HEALTH BATTLE NEXT.

BACK NOW WITH A SHOCKING UPDATE TO A STORY WE JUST TOLD YOU ABOUST NIGHT. WE REPORTED A FORMER YOUTH PASTOR WAS CHARGED WITH MURDERING HIS WIFE. 20 YEARS AFTER SHE FELL TO HER DEATH WHILE THEY WERE HIKING IN ZION NATIONAL PARK. DAVID VANDERMEER WAS SET TO APPEAR IN COURT TODAY FOR THE FIRST TIME, BUT A JUDGE REVEALED HE DIED IN JAIL OVERNIGHT. POLICE SAID AN INMATE MATCHING HIS DESCRIPTION. DIED AFTER BEING TRANSPORTED TO A HOSPITAL. FOR WHAT THEY CALLED SELF-SUSTAINING. INJURIES. ALSO TONIGHT, LIONEL RICHIE CUTTING THE OPENING NIGHT OF HIS TOUR. SHORT AFTER SAYING HE FELT DIZZY ON STAGE.

IT HAPPENED IN SAINT PAUL, MINNESOTA ON THE FIRST STOP OF HIS TOUR WITH EARTH, WIND AND FIRE. SO IN THE MIDDLE OF THE SONG DANCING ON THE CEILING, HE SUDDENLY SITS DOWN. YOU SEE HIM THERE ON STAGE. A MAN LATER WALKED OUT SAYING RICHIE WASN'T. FEELING WELL AND WOULDN'T CONTINUE THE SHOW. NBC NEWS REACHED OUT TO RICHIE'S TEAM, BUT WE HAVE NOT HEARD BACK. SOME SAD NEWS IN THE SPORTS WORLD TONIGHT. TENNIS LEGEND CHRIS EVERT REVEALING HER OVARIAN CANCER HAS RETURNED FOR A 3RD TIME. THE 71-YEAR-OLD SAYS SHE LEARNED ABOUT IT AFTER SHE HAD SCANS LAST WEEKEND, ADDING SHE'S ALREADY HAD SURGERY AND WILL START CHEMO SOON.
