Donald Trump Calls for Increased Surveillance at Mosques
--------------------------------------------------------

Meanwhile, Donald Trump reiterated his call for bans on Muslim
immigration and called for increased surveillance of Muslim communities,
including at mosques. He spoke at a news conference in Atlanta, Georgia,
on Wednesday.

Donald Trump: "We have to stop, on a temporary basis at least, but we
have to stop people from pouring into our country. We have to stop it,
until we find out what the hell is going on. ... And we have to go, and
we have to maybe check, respectfully, the mosques, and we have to check
other places."

A new CBS News poll finds the majority of Americans disapprove of
Trump's response to the mass shooting in Orlando. During Trump's speech
in Atlanta, members of the press corps symbolically saved seats for the
Washington Post reporters who had been banned by Trump from covering his
events. Trump has also banned Buzz Feed, The Huffington Post, The Daily
Beast, The Des Moines Register, the Union Leader, Univision and Fusion.
