Correspondent Cecilia Vega reports from the U.S.-Canadian border – the longest international land border in the world – near the Chazy River, where migrants are crossing with the help

of human smugglers who openly promote their services on popular social media

platforms. Vega speaks with one of those smugglers, a Sinaloa cartel member who

claims that there will always be ways to bypass barriers, no matter what steps

the two countries take – and with an American sheriff who has seen the impact

of President Trump’s policies to reduce illegal immigration from the north.

Frank Larkin’s commitment to America is remarkable. A former Navy SEAL, he served in the Secret Service, at the Pentagon and as sergeant-at-arms of the U.S. Senate. However, as

correspondent Scott Pelley reports, Larkin’s most significant contribution may

be what he’s done since his son, Ryan, took his own life. Ryan was, like his

father, a decorated Navy SEAL, and his death by suicide was attributed to

depression. But Frank Larkin did not accept this explanation, and when

pathologists discovered Ryan suffered from scarring in his brain, likely due to

repeated low-level blast exposure, this father campaigned for a change in how

Special Operations and the rest of the military train and protect their service

members.

Correspondent Jon Wertheim goes behind the scenes as George Clooney makes his Broadway debut, starring in an adaptation of the 2005 Oscar-nominated movie “Good Night, and Good Luck.” Clooney co-wrote both the original screenplay and this play, which tell the

story of pioneering journalist Edward R. Murrow, who took on Senator Joseph

McCarthy. Clooney calls it a fight for the ages and says the plot, which

revolves around themes of truth, intimidation and courage in corporate media,

resonates today. At 63, the actor tells Wertheim why he finally feels ready to

take on the role of Murrow himself.
