For U.S. Senators, today was the first full day back in Washington after the killing of Alex

Preti and ahead of their Friday deadline to fund the Department of Homeland Security and some of

the government's other large agencies. They arrived as news is still unfolding on the

Pretty shooting and as another lawmaker faced a new threat. Our congressional correspondent,

Lisa Desjardin, joins me now for more on all of this.

So Lisa, we have been covering the outrage after the Preti shooting, the sense that something shifted.

As you talk to Senators, are you sensing a shift in how they're viewing the immigration crackdown?

We did. We've been watching that carefully.

And today I have to tell you, we heard from Republicans

a new kind of very open sense that federal enforcement officers went too far in a dangerous

way.

Now, some of them word this carefully, but more we are seeing Republicans say this sharply.

That includes Homeland Security Chairman Rand Paul.

Well, we can't just say, oh, nothing to

see here. And he was obviously an assassin and a domestic terrorist. When we say things like that,

it leads to no confidence in, so I think there really has to be an independent investigation.

And this is going to be an investigation outside of DHS.

They should themselves immediately appoint a commission.

If they don't, I think Congress may... So there we go, a commission potentially.

Now, Rand Paul is known to break with President Trump,

but I heard this kind of idea of concern from more Republicans who don't usually do that.

Of course, for Democrats, it's more than just concern.
