as washington gets back to work today, president trump is setting off a bruising immigration battle.ĭeciding the fate of more than 780,000 young immigrants brought here illegally by their parents. it all starts this morning at the justice department where attorney general jeff sessions is expected to announce the president's controversial plan to end daca, the deferred action for childhood arrival with a six-month delay. and this morning, congress get ready to do your job, daca. president trump previewed the big challenges he faces in an overnight tweet using four words. nbc's white house correspondent kristen welker has the latest for us. that's the program that protects undocumented immigrants who were brought to this country as children. about an hour from now the president is expected to announce his long-awaited decision on daca. there's a lot more to get to this morning, including a major controversy facing the white house. This is an event that has been described as catastrophic, as life threatening, and that is headed our way. 57 counties under a state of emergency and some are debating whether or not they should evacuate. because territoauthorities are they can't afford not to take irma seriously. also in florida, they're also getting prepared with supplies. schools have been closed and almost 500 emergency shelters have been set up all throughout the island. so that's why the national guard has already been activated. but a category 4 or 5 that's an exceptional different beast. we're used to heavy rain and heavy winds. now the people outside we've spoken to on the ground have said look, we're caribbean. and that means today is all about preparation. and this is where now they're under a state of emergency ahead of what has been upgraded to a category 5 hurricane irma. i'm coming to you live from the headquarters of the emergency response center here in san juan, puerto rico. nbc's morgan radford is live now in san juan, where as you can imagine, residents are getting ready. as we mentioned, irma is prompting emergency declarations in florida, the u.s. > by the way the spaghetti as you called it is changing hour to hour. and that's why everybody from the gulf all the way up into the mid-atlantic states have to really keep an eye on this. if this happens it would be unprecedented.
but right now most of the models keep it coming somewhere either on the west coast of florida, east coast of florida, into the southeast, guys, the fact of the matter is, we've never had a category 4 or higher, two storms making landfall. that big area of high pressure out over the atlantic, if it continues to push it, it actually will start pushing it out into the gulf. even still, category 4, but still could be a 5, and then early sunday morning, does it make the turn? we have to wait to see. it puts together all the possible scenarios that it sees. And it has what we call the spaghetti strings.
