[Soares:] Welcome back. We are following new developments out of Malaysia. Police there say Kim Jong-Nam was poisoned with VX nerve agent. The half-brother of North Korea's leader, Kim Jong-Un, was killed at the Kuala Lumpur airport. At least two women are in custody. Authorities have asked Interpol to issue an alert for four other suspects. Let's get more on the story. Alexandra Field joins us from Kuala Lumpur. Alexandra, what more are authorities telling you regarding this highly toxic nerve agent?
[Alexandra Field, Cnn Correspondent:] This is the first time they've identified what they believe killed Kim Jong-Nam, calling it an internationally banned chemical weapon. It's a lethal weapon. It's something that was first used in the 1950s. In very small amounts it can be lethal. See onset of symptoms within minutes or even up to 18 hours after exposure. Essentially, experts say it paralyzes your breathing. We know Kim Jong-Nam reported feeling dizzy after he was approached by two women in Kuala Lumpur airport. Police in Malaysia say the women were trained to apply a poison to his face and it appears that's what you're seeing in the TV video reported inside the airport when you see a woman approach him from the front and also the back Isa?
[Soares:] We have these two women. We're looking at a photo of them. These two women held in custody. What about the other man? I know there are other people involved here.
[Field:] This continues to widen and expand. At this point, officials in Malaysia have the women in custody, and then another man. They're looking for three more North Koreans who they believe are in country. They've asked North Korea for help in finding the people and speaking to them. They're also looking for four North Korean man who they think may have provided the chemical weapon. It's believed they have actually returned to Pyongyang at this point. As far as how anyone would have been able to get that chemical weapon into the airport, police have not said how they believe it arrived in this country or at the airport, but only a small amount is needed. So it could have been difficult to detect while it was being transported.
[Vause:] In the meantime, do we know what will happen to the body of Kim Jong-Nam? It's waiting for next of kin to arrive?
[Field:] Yeah. It's really at the center of what is an increasingly tense diplomatic fight between Malaysian officials and North Korean officials. Malaysian officials have said they'll keep the body here in the morgue at this hospital until a family member arrives to provide a DNA sample. North Korean officials say this is somebody who was found with a diplomatic passport on his bodies and the Malaysians are acting in violation of diplomatic international norms. They want the body back. Malaysia is not giving it up.
[Vause:] Alexandra Field, thank you very much, in Kuala Lumpur. Another day of mixed signals from the Trump administration, this time on the relationship with Mexico. Homeland Security Secretary John Kelly and Secretary of State Rex Tillerson met with senior officials in Mexico City on Thursday. Kelly praised the trade relation between the two countries, calling it dynamic. He said there would be no mass deportations and the military will not be used as part of a crackdown on illegal immigration. Earlier, though, at the White House the president called the trade deficit between the United States and Mexico unsustainable and he said the deportation of undocumented immigrants would, in fact, be a military operation.
[Soares:] I'm joined by Jorge Castaneda, the former Mexican foreign minister. He joins me from Mexico City. Senor Castaneda, thank you for joining us this hour.
[Jorge Castaneda, Former Mexican Foreign Minister:] Thank you.
[Soares:] We heard there the U.S. Homeland Security Secretary John Kelly say there won't be massive deportation. Instead, the U.S. will be focusing on the criminal element. Do you believe what you heard? How do you view the discussions?
[Castaneda:] I'll believe it, Isa, when Secretary Kelly changes the drafting of the guidelines he made public two days ago with a series of measures that imply inevitable mass deportations. If he changes the guidelines, I will believe him entirely. Until he does that, I will believe not a word of his, and nobody should. Because what he says in Mexico City is absolutely irrelevant as long as the guidelines that were published two days ago in Washington, D.C., continue to say that they will hire 15,000 more CBP and ICE agents as long as those guidelines say that they will deport anybody all over the U.S. territory, not just within 100 miles of the border, and not only those who are in the U.S. For 14 days but for two years, and also those who can be suspected of having committed a chargeable act whatever that means. So I don't care what Kelly says. I'm interested in what the executive degrees and guidelines issued by the government a couple days ago.
[Soares:] You don't care what Kelly says, you care with the president says. Meanwhile, in Washington, we heard President Trump talk of a military operation of bad dudes. Those were his words. How does Mexico make sense of the mixed messages and perhaps of the inconsistencies from this administration?
[Castaneda:] I think in this case they're not mixed. Degrees are decrees. Guidelines are guidelines. They are written texts. These are not statements by either President Trump or by Secretary Kelly. These are guidelines issued by Secretary Kelly to the ICE and CBP agents in the field. If he wants to change them, he can. The guidelines say that the U.S. will try to send non-Mexican nationals back to Mexico to await asylum hearings. Secretary Kelly says no, we're not going to do that. Well, then change the guidelines. I am interested in what's written. I don't care what he says. And I think this is the hypocrisy of this American administration. They are not mixed messages. It's one message. What we're not learning to do is to listen to the right one.
[Soares:] OK. Give me the view of Mexico. You were talking there about potentially sending thousands of Central Americans into back into Mexico. How does Mexico view this? If this does happen, what how can Mexico handle this?
[Castaneda:] Well, I think on this account, I agree completely with President Pena Nieto and his foreign minister who stated clearly yesterday that under no circumstances will Mexico admit any refugee, my deportee anyone from the United States who is not a Mexican national. If they are from another country, the United States has to send them back to their countries. Not to Mexico. That's the U.S. problem. And I think on this, all Mexicans grew there is no way we are going to admit anybody back to Mexico who is not Mexican.
[Soares:] Very quickly, what leverage is Mexico have on this front?
[Castaneda:] It has enormous leverage which is to open the southern border to tens of thousands if not hundreds of thousands of people from other countries, fleeing from the violence in their country and going north, trying to reach the United States, entering the United States, and then being apprehended and asking for asylum. We have enormous leverage on this account, and I think we should use it.
[Soares:] Jorge Castaneda, the former Mexican foreign minister. Mr. Castaneda, thank you very much. Great to talk to you, sir.
[Castaneda:] Thank you.
[Vause:] Coming up to 11:27 here in Los Angeles. We'll take a break. When we come back, a transgender woman and activist says Candidate Trump said one thing to American voters but now President Trump has done the opposite.
