>> WE GOT LUCKY IN A NUMBER OF WAYS-- THE QUICK ACTION FROM THOSE FOLKS INITIALLY. A NUMBER OF THINGS CAME TOGETHER .>> Reporter: TODAY, THIS SAME POD OF WHALES WAS SPOTTED SWIMMING SIX MILES OFFSHORE AND HEADING TO OPEN SEA. THEY COULD BEACH AGAIN, BUT NORAH, IT LOOKS PROMISING .>> O'Donnell: ALL RIGHT. MARK STRASSMANN ON THE BEACH TONIGHT. THANK YOU. COMING UP, WHY PROTESTERS HAVE PACKED THE STREETS OF PUERTO RICO . >> O'Donnell: WE'RE FOLLOWING BREAKING NEWS IN PUERTO RICO. THOUSANDS OF PROTESTERS HAVE FILLED THE STREETS DEMANDING THE RESIGNATION OF PUERTO RICO'S GOVERNOR. DAVID BEGNAUD IS WITH THE PROTESTERS IN SAN JUAN .>> Reporter: NORAH, I WOULD ESTIMATE THERE ARE 8, 000 PEOPLE WHO ARE NOW MARCHING FROM THE CAPITAL TO THE GOVERNOR'S MANSION WHICH IS IN OLD SAN JUAN. LET ME TELL YOU, THESE PEOPLE, JOINED BY ARTIST LIKE RICKY MARTIN AND BAD BUNNY, ARE ANGRY, BUT THIS IS NOT OVER THE CHAT SCANDAL. IT'S OVER WHAT HAS BEEN DECADES OF MISMANAGEMENT, MISAPPROPRIATION OF FUNDS-- THEIR WORDS, NOT MINE. HURRICANE MARIA WAS THE LOWEST POINT FOR MANY OF THESE PEOPLE AND THE CHAT SCANDAL, THIS ONE WOMAN SAID, IS THE STRAW THAT BROKE THE CAMEL'S BACK. THE GOVERNOR SAID HE'S NOT RESIGNING. THE QUESTION IS, CAN HE STAY, GIVEN THE OUTCRIES FROM TENS OF THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE LIKE THIS. NORAH ?>> O'Donnell: DAVID BEGNAUD IN SAN JUAN, THANK YOU. A NEWLY RELEASED GOVERNMENT DATABASE REVEALS THE SCOPE OF THE OPIOID CRISIS. THE D. E. A. TRACKED THE SALE OF 76 BILLION PAIN PILLS LEGALLY SOLD IN THE U. S. FROM 2006 TO 2012. PURDUE PHARMA, WIDELY CRITICIZED FOR ITS ROLE IN THE EPIDEMIC, MANUFACTURED ONLY 3 % OF THE PILLS SOLD IN THE PERIOD. WELL, TODAY THE C. D. C. SAID THAT FOR THE FIRST TIME SINCE 1990, DEATHS FROM OVERDOSES DECLINED LAST YEAR. MILLIONS OF PHOTOS REPRESENTING 70 YEARS OF AFRICAN AMERICAN HISTORY ARE GOING UP FOR AUCTION TONIGHT. PORTRAITS OF MUHAMMAD ALI CHOPPING A TREE, JAZZ LEGEND MILES DAVIS CHILLING OUT, AND MOTOWN RECORDS FOUNDER BERRY GORDY WITH THE SUPREMES ARE AMONG THE TREASURES FROM THE ARCHIVES OF " EBONY" AND " JET" MAGAZINES. JOHNSON PUBLISHING IS GOING BANKRUPT. ITS COLLECTION WAS LAST ESTIMATED TO BE WORTH AROUND $ 47 MILLION. WE'LL HAVE SOME FINAL THOUGHTS FROM HERE ON THE SOUTHERN BORDER IN JUST A MOMENT . >> O'Donnell: A FINAL NOTE FROM HERE ON THE BORDER-- IT'S IMPORTANT TO REMEMBER THAT EVERY PICTURE HAS A STORY, LIKE THE BORDER PATROL AGENT BORN IN MEXICO. AGENT EDUARDO CANTU UNDERSTANDS THE AMERICAN DREAM, BECAUSE HE SAYS HE'S LIVING IT. HE WANTS MIGRANTS TO GET THAT DREAM, BUT SAYS, THEY NEED TO COME HERE LEGALLY, AS HE DID. WHEN WE WALKED INTO THE DETENTION CENTER, YOU COULDN'T HELP BUT NOTICE THE SOUND OF CHILDREN LAUGHING AND PLAYING, MOMS WITH THEIR CHILDREN ATTACHED TO THEIR HIPS, UNSURE OF THEIR FUTURE. IT'S HARD TO LOOK AWAY. THERE'S NO DOUBT THERE'S A CRISIS, AND TODAY WE MET THOSE AT THE CENTER OF IT. AND THAT IS THE " CBS EVENING NEWS ." I'M NORAH O'DONNELL, HERE ON THE SOUTHERN BORDER IN TEXAS. GOOD NIGHT.
