it shuts off asylum access for migrants crossing the border illegally when i daily threshold of 2,500 is then it falls back to going back to how it is now when it's at 1,500. now this ends up being mexico turning back migrants to mexico or removing migrants to their origin countries unaccompanied children are exempt from this senior administration officials say they expect this to take effect immediately because we have already hit that threshold and a source telling me moments ago that president biden and mexican president andres manuel lopez obrador are expected to talk about this exact action later today, but briana, this of course he's a significant sweeping measure by this white house which kicked off its administration by wanting to reform and restore the asylum system. they are taking steps today to now shut it off to certain migrants now, the senior administration officials were asked earlier today how this is any different from what president biden's predecessors tried? to do their answer to that is that there is still ways for migrants to come to the us legally. therefore, there are so opportunities for those seeking to come to the us, but to do so in a lawful way. but that has not stopped criticism from progressives who say that this is too far and this is too similar to donald trump. and then also the aclu saying that they're going to sue the administration on this, senior administration officials acknowledged that this was probably going to come either from a from either side of the political spectrum. but clearly the president trying to get an upper hand here before the first presidential debate and only months from the november election briana priscilla alvarez, live force at the white house. thank you. and let's turn now to cnn's rosa flores, who is there along the border. she's in hidalgo, texas. rosa, what kind of reaction are you hearing? >> well, there's mixed reaction on the border. there are some individuals who say that this is a great. this is a tool that the president can use and there are other individuals who say it's too little too late. but what will be the actual impact on the border? briana, the easiest way for me to explain this is that this is border security on steroids. it's going to expedite a lot of the processes that in the past we've seen administration's take weeks six months, and even years for migrants to go through. so let me take you through what we expect would happen here on the border once this executive order is in effect. so for example, once that threshold that you talked about is met and a migrant crosses the border illegally, that myron would still go through processing, so they would still get their fingerprints. there were back to a background checks. a would be made to make sure that there's no national security threats. but if that migrant does not express fear at that point, then that individual would be removed in hours or in days. so it's a very expedited process. now, if that migrant expresses fear the threshold that, that migrant has to meet is going to be a lot higher. those credible fear interviews could be held at customs and border protection or at ice, and those removals would happen very quickly. now the obvious question is, well, what will the vitamin should actually be able to do this? there is a number that's important to understand here, and that's more more than 742,000. that's the number of removals of deportations at the biden administration has conducted since last may since the lifting of title 42, in an essence, this tells us that the biden administration has gotten a lot of practice since then, and those are some of the processes that they have been fine tuning that they plan to use. now, under this executive order, and one of the biggest concerns briana on the border is from immigration advocates, immigration attorneys would say that this is inhumane, that this is it's unlawful. here is some reaction from the occasion bridge alliance issuing a statement saying, in part, president biden's executive order is a direct salt on the fundamental human right to seek asylum. and then the aclu telling us this quote we will sue the administration has left us no choice and reihan the big question is going to b, will the courts intervene? and like most things in life, time will tell briana back to you. >> yeah, we can certainly expect that maybe the case rosa thank you for that report from the border. jessica right now, hunter biden's federal gun trial is on a break for lunch, but before court adjourned and fbi special agent took the stand as the prosecution's first witness. >> prosecutors are using eric jensen to introduce digital evidence, including highly personal messages and images from hunter biden's laptop to show a timeline of his drug abuse. the prosecution finished its opening statement today by saying, quote, addiction may not be a choice, but lying and buying a gun is our team inside the courtroom says, one juror appeared to get emotional during the defense's opening statement scene and senior justice correspondent evan perez is joining us now from outside court. and evan, i do want to ask you about the moment that that juror seem to get emotional when the defense was given it's opening statement, what more do you know about that yeah. >> look, jessica, this is about 35 minutes into abbe lowell opening remarks and i noticed that obviously the jurors, it seemed to be paying very close attention. they were a lot of them were taking notes, taking down notes on various aspects of what the prosecution was arguing and what the defense is arguing. and then one juror, in particular, an african american woman, was sitting there, began becoming it appeared very emotional. she grabbed some tissues from her bags, dabbed her eyes. doctor knows at several points, about 35 minutes into abbe lowell presentation he was at the time describing some of the circumstances under which the gun ended up in a trash can. hallie biden, who? hunter biden? and was in a relationship with through the gun away in a trash can in the grocery store. that's where this juror started becoming emotional. we don't know exactly what the reaction is is in regard to we do know though that there are several jurors who are on this panel who described that they had family members who've struggled with the diction. they are on this on this jury. and so you can imagine that a lot of this testimony is going to be very emotional for everyone involved, not only hunter biden but for some other people who are hearing this case as well evan, what more can you tell us about the prosecution used? >> this testimony from its first witness, which was an fbi special agent well, so the special agent who is here to help introduce not only some of the digital evidence that you pointed out, but one of the things that are doing a lot of this is a big portion of the later part of the morning was hearing hunter biden's own voice, his audio book. >> this is from his own memoir, where he describes his struggle with addiction, struggle. he goes into rehab. i counted eight times at the prosecutor is listed on a screen for the jury between 2015 and 20 he 98 different talents. he went in and out of rehab and the point that prosecutors are are trying to drive home is that a hunter biden had plenty of knowledge about his addiction. they that he knew he did not qualify to own this gun because on the form that he filled out it says you cannot be addicted fed two or user of drugs. so this is the circumstantial evidence that they're using. because one of the problems here for prosecutors obviously, they don't have any proof that on that day he bought the gun. that he was using drugs. instead, they are showing that around the time in 2018 on october 2018, october 12th, 2018, that hunter biden was using drugs and so that's what this fbi agent is driving home as part of that testimony. >> alright, evan, perez, for us to outside the courthouse there in wilmington, delaware. thanks so much for that reporting. >> briana, former deputy assistant attorney general, tawam dupree joins us now at tom, i want to get a sense of what you think of these opening statements here. first, the prosecution, they use quotes from hunter biden's memoir where he described his quote superpower of finding crack anywhere anytime. also, a picture of a gun. there were pictures of drugs found on his electronic devices and the he closed the opening statement by saying addiction may not be a choice, but buying a gun is so what did you think about that briana, i thought that the prosecutors did a very effective job and presenting their case, so i bought a prosecutors will tell you that often the most compelling, powerful evidence you can present against the defendant is to confront him with his own words. >> and here they quoted from the audio book. in fact, they played hunter biden's voice in the courtroom that the jurors could really hear it. i think that drove home the prosecution's themes very powerfully. i also thought they somewhat definitely address the whole addiction issue by making that point that addiction may not be a choice, but lying on a federal form is a choice and that's the conduct for which hunter biden is being prosecuted. >> and then tom, the defense stress the word knowingly in the charges against hunter biden, which is crucial here, the defense attorney abbe lowell, highlighting that prosecutors left that word out of their opening statement how critical for the case is it that prosecutors prove biden knowingly violated the law? >> i think that is going to be a critical point in this trial, and i strongly suspect that's actually going to be the primary defense that we hear from hunter biden's team. what they are going to argue is that even if he was abusing drugs at the time, he thought genuinely and their view that maybe he wasn't addicted to drugs, maybe it wasn't abusing them. and so therefore, he can't be held criminally accountable for checking the box? no. on the federal form, i think it's a tough argument for the jury. i don't know if the defense has a whole lot of other options available to it. this may be the best they can do, but i think it's going to be tough persuading the jury that well, when he checked a box, he didn't really they realized that he was abusing drugs at the time what do you think about the way the defense really leaned in on the past trauma of hunter biden sort of explaining some of his addiction and the root of it, including all the way back to the car accident in his child the killed his mother and left him and his baby sister and left-hand with a brain injury yeah. i think that was a savvy move on the part of the defense. >> they are clearly trying to humanize hunter biden for the jury and really to present the gun purchase is just one event in a much larger context, hunter biden and obviously himself has been very open about his struggles with addiction. and i think what the defense team is trying to do is really portray him is complicated human being who struggled with addiction issues that many of the jurors themselves have had issues with addiction or had family members who struggled with addiction. and i think the defense is really tried to start building those lines, building those themes in a way that they hope will resonate with the jury and make them see hunter biden in a sympathetic light i want to get your reaction to something that we heard from maybe an unlikely person, senator lindsey graham, who told the huffington post yesterday i think any average american who's done their taxes like hunter biden, would have probably faced prosecution, however, i don't think the average american would have been charged with the gun thing. >> i don't don't see any good coming from that. what did you think about that do you agree i too was surprised by that. >> i mean, it's kind of a break from the usual partisan warfare that surrounds these types of trial proceedings. and look, i think lindsey graham has a decent point in it. these charges are filed, but typically they are filed as part of a much larger claim. they might be used as a way that you don't get leverage against the defendant that they want to indict for other issues that could be used as part of a multi count indictment, but it admittedly is fairly rare for prosecutors simply to charge the false responses on the federal gun form as a standalone case, like the prosecutors are doing here trusting that senator graham, who i'm sure is no fan of hunter biden, picked up on that point. >> yeah. it's really interesting. tom dupree. thank you so much for being on. we appreciate it. >> thank you. >> attorney general merrick garland, fighting back, he says he and the justice department will not be intimidated by people. lavigne unprecedented attacks against them here more from what he said ahead. and as hamas and israel way their responses to a ceasefire proposal laid out by president biden, the he attributed israel the families of hostages held by hamas meet with a top white house official. we're going to speak with the father one of those hostages in israeli american to see what their message was the increase in wildfires is exponential on credit double uncontrollable with overwhelming consequences, the need to do something is urgent before i would or would we have schreiber and vietnam on cnn?

>> well, he said it wasn't it was the state prosecutor in new york that did it and he used some pretty sharp words, especially for an attorney general that really doesn't get into political knife throwing that often. he said that the justice roman does not control the manhattan district attorney that brought at successfully convicted that case against donald trump. that the manhattan da made their own decisions and is completely independent. so we really was defending the justice department's independence from other cases now, this was a situation where garland was able to put a little bit more out there on the offensive where he's defending the department more broadly, his own department, law enforcement officers there and calling things that donald trump is saying such as about the manhattan da's case against him and that republicans on capitol hill are still fueling. he's calling those things false claims and conspiracy theories. here's a little bit more about how garland defended his own department of justice and the fbi this. effort is only the most recent in a long line of attacks on the justice department's work. it comes alongside threats to the fund, particular department investigations. most recent, the special counsel's prosecution of the former president it comes alongside false claims that a jury verdict in a state trial by a brought by a local district attorney was somehow controlled by the justice department that conspiracy theory is an attack on the judicial process itself so not only there is garland on the offensive, he's also a bit on the defensive at this hearing, defending his use of special counsel's those offices, the work and his selection of jack smith prosecuting donald trump, what his its decisions have been with rob her, the special counsel that investigated and didn't bring any charges against joe biden. >> he also is saying, i'm not really seeing that audio tape that republicans want so desperately. and one other special counsel that hasn't really been too much part of this discussion in this hearing. david weiss, the special counsel, that's currently in court prosecuting hunter biden, but this is a day where merrick garland has had to respond to many questions on many different fronts that the republicans are interested in pressing politically especially in these highly political investigation absolutely. >> and with the election closing and katelyn polantz, thanks so much. let's go now to capitol hill. were lauren foxes standing by and lauren, i know you've been monitoring this from the hill. >> tell us more about what the attorney general face today yeah. i mean, obviously jessica, one of the key story lines that kaitlan was addressing here is the fact that republicans are repeatedly asking the attorney general merrick garland to lay out how this case in new or cabin and he repeatedly is arguing in this was a decision by a state office that this was not his department's decision and democrats also laying out that the republican the go after donald trump, joe biden, key republican rival, is just not true. and one of the points instead, steve cohen made adam schiff made is this continuation that there are several democrats some of them sitting in congress who have been an indicted on charges by the justice department. there are argument being that if this is a political attack against donald trump than how is it that bob menendez and henry qualia are also facing charges? here was adam schiff for why republicans, were going after garland today there are about to none nominate a convicted felon and they don't know how to cope with that. >> they don't know how to cope with the justice system. that in fact treats donald trump the same as it would any other citizen. and so they have to push these conspiracy theories that they know are patently false they care more about this convicted felon and they do the country i have to say i'm i'm pleased and a bit surprised to see that the flag in this committee is still flying right-side up because they want to turn it upside down, even as they want to turn our justice system upside down and jessica shift of course, referring there to flying a flag upside down, which assigned that the country is in distress. >> he also laid out in his testimony today, merrick garland did that the people who are doing willing to work at the justice department are doing their jobs, essentially telling republicans and his own way it's measured way to leave his employees is alone. >> jessica and the attorney general, lauren, also was getting some questions from republicans about the january 6 defendants that the doj hey, his prosecuted yeah, that's exactly right. >> i mean, this has been an issue, right? that has been ongoing for republicans for years now. this has been a pet issue for thomas massie, marjorie taylor greene, and others. they've held several press conferences about this, but it's also just important to know jessica that this hearing today is really an opportunity for every republican member, every democratic member two, to lay out the issues that they want to talk about. if it has any anytime to the justice department at all? and it's really what you're seeing in this hearing hearing today. it's kind of a potpourri or grab bag of issues that republicans can use this moment to grandstand and talk about. that's, that's what you you saw there, jessica, for sure. all right. lauren fox on capitol hill for us. thanks so much the family of israeli american hostages being held by hamas meet with white house officials. this as the world waits to see if the two sides will accept a new ceasefire proposal. we're going to speak with a family member of one of those hostages who was at today's meeting, plus the number of women in the us who died during pregnancy, labor, or postpartum is double even triple that the other countries, when i'm reporting on why that is ahead on cnn news central hey, mom, how many should i decorate?

we could all unsubscribe and switch to xfinity. their connection is unreal. and we could all un-experience this whole session. okay, that's uncalled for. nutrition, your body craves by primal origins at walmart today, closed captioning is brought to you by sokoloff law mesothelioma victims call now $30 billion in trust money has been set aside. you may be entitled to a portion of that money all when 800, 8559, that's when 8085920400 there is more confusion today about who is actually on board with the new ceasefire and hostage release proposal in gaza president biden laid out this three-phase plan on friday. he said it was posed by israel, but now qatar, one of the key mediators in the negotiation says that is really officials have given contradictory statements about the proposal and have yet to convey a clear position. keter also says, despite hamas saying i've used the proposal positively, they're still falling short of a quote, commitment to the language. it has been now 241 days since the brutal hamas attack and kidnappings in israel and joining us now is adi alexander. he is the father of israeli-american aidan. all alexander. alexander, who has been held hostage by hamas since october 7. adi. thank you so much for being with us. i know you actually met with jake sullivan at the white house along with other families this morning. what can you tell us about how this meeting went the meaning as always went really, really well so our eighth meeting with jake we kinda having recruiting monthly meeting, with the update and basically, we back to square where we were back in january and the beginning of may, awaiting from hamas reply you, as you said, you've met eight times. >> now, your son is a graduate of ten to fly high school in new jersey. he's a he's a new jersey boy and your family finds themselves in this situation. i know that you listened to everything carefully that you're hearing from the white house, including on friday when the president announced this three-phase ceasefire proposal that he said was israel's proposal. netanyahu now says that it's incomplete. how do you see what is going on when it comes to the communication between netanyahu and the white house. >> i think the president's remark on friday were made just to make sure that everybody does its job netanyahu and sinwar so and hamas, of course, there is some holes on what was presented it feels like some holes in it. but again, we don't see the whole picture. we don't see the whole 40 paging agreement. and we have to remain focused and hopeful that they will strike the deal. this time. >> what are the holes as you see from what was presented? >> i think the holes are mainly is political posture. it's transition from the phase one, phase two. but again, remade from a temporary, what seems like a temporary ceasefire that as long as negotiations continue, would continue even beyond several weeks. yeah, but that would then get you into hot a hostage releases of the sort of your son who serves in the idf, is that what you mean? correct. so you specifically you don't see how things move if there's some kind of hiccup in negotiations, what happens is that the whole well, you're seeing i see them move actually because it's happened already back in november. and you have to start somehow, you have to put the end of the two, the agony all of the hostage families, of the hostages and the civilian population of gaza and one, the mechanism is established. i think it will proceed and we will go up to the end so what do you want when you hear netanyahu, he's coming here, he's going to be speaking to a joint session of congress what do you want to hear from him i just hope that this visit will be first of all my feeling it's it's too soon he needs to deal with with the ongoing crisis in israel with ongoing hostage crisis and i hope it will be, it will be happening conventionally, but now it's too soon. i had june 13. that's not the place. and nauta time it seems like it may go june 13, it seems has changed, but it may be not that long after that to your point, it's all it's all the same in terms of your opinion of that? if he does come nonetheless, should biden meet with him i think so yeah. i think they should meet just to make sure that everybody's on the same page. and the stands behind the issam proposal that he made to hamas. and just keep everything on control and under the certain amount of russia, just to nail this deal down what do you want eat on to know, i will tell you. i met your wife recently in the middle east you, and your wife will go to any length to advocate for your son. that is very clear as so many families will. but it's very clear with your family what do you want your son to know as you continue to advocate for his release he needs to know that will keep fighting for him. and i want to tell him to remain strong and we will never give up you are remaining strong and you aren't giving up. how are you managing that?

>> zero deaths recorded by norway. what, what do you see there? is that completely accurate? what are they doing that the us is not sure. >> well, i can't speak to exactly what norway is doing, but i can tell you some of the differences and what needs to change here. one of the things that is driving our maternal mortality numbers, especially our black maternal, maternal mortality numbers is the issues around racism or bias i'm not only the effects of that has directly on bursting individuals and women, but also the bias that's in health care. that is, that's been there for decades for upon decades upon decades also, we have to look at the resources around maternity care that are not resources that are typical here in the united states, but maybe other places, things like covered insurance also, home visits, also, we need to look at the workforce that are doing some of these deliveries physicians, midwives we need to look at how other countries may do it and maybe take some lessons from that and you talked a little bit about this in your last answer, but i really would like to drill down on this because american black women have this even higher maternal, maternal mortality led rate. >> and you talked about the bias that exists in the system. what else can be done to reverse that course and also, is there for any role that this lack of access i'm from arkansas. it's really hard for some people to even get to a doctor yes. >> oh, absolutely. >> thank you for that. well, with issues around bias or racism, first thing is that we have to acknowledge that it does exist we have to acknowledge the effect that that racism and bias both conscious and unconscious have on individuals, right? the stress that they endure, the weathering they indoor, and then we need to acknowledge that in some, some decision-making procedures or practice in health care there is bias baked in there, and we have to pause. we have to look at it, acknowledge it, and change it. but in terms of access are the places where there might be without any obstetrical care. we need to look at the reasons why why physicians, midwives aren't practicing in some reason some regions in this country. and then we have to make that change i can i ask you mentioned the home visits, which i think after i had my baby i at home visits from people i knew i did not have. >> there was no care. and i think afterward there was no home visit. i think that's just the case for so many people. >> and yet that you can see where for the postpartum deaths would be so key also for people who are having postpartum issues as well how do we implement something like that sure. so yes. and some of those other countries that were being compared to home visits in the first one to two weeks after delivery is routine. but it's something that is not routine here and the united states. sure. we have some pilot projects, certain small communities that do that. but that is not wide standing practice. and so how do we change that? well, first and foremost, we need to have the postpartum period covered why we don't have some why some women don't have access it's because they don't have health insurance. there is medicaid expansion that we are promoting to have for 12 months postpartum states need to adopt that so that, so that birthing individuals and women can be covered in the postpartum period. and then we need to look at changing the mindset are changing and how postpartum care is delivered. the american college of obstetricians and gynecologists recently put out a paper saying, what, how to optimize postpartum care. it's a little bit different. it's no longer you have your baby, see you in six weeks it's you have your baby. let's touch base and a weak let's touch base in two weeks, or as many times as you want in case there's a problem, let me call in my colleagues in different disciplines whether it's mental health or internal medicine, cardiology to come so we can help take care of you together. >> yeah. that land is the thing is six weeks is a long time when you have a newborn. >> all right. dr. tamika augustae thank you so much thank you for having me espn host pat mcafee is apologizing again today for calling caitlin clark, the b word why he says he meant it as a compliment. >> that's coming up not flossing well then add the wo of listerine to your routine new science shows. >> listerine is five times more effective than floss that reducing class above the gum line for a cleaner, healthier mouth this three, feel the wo bought detain i'll put it on my chase freedom on limit to car, and i'm a cashback on a few other things to garda with the sound system that's like a pro would chase freedom unlimited. how do you catch back did you know sling has your favorite news programs for just $40 a month my favorite news for just $40 a month my favorite news for just $40 a month. $40 a month like favorite for just $40 a month $40 get your favorite. news are $40 a month sling lets you do that first. >> we did the impossible then you age so many of the possible that we can wheeler ran out. >> and now they're the cook is back at subway done that messed around dumb, having fun, don't put me down on. >> that'll let you with allegro allergies won't hold me back leggero starts working two times faster than claritin. and unlike zyrtec or won't make me drowsy. nothing beats allegro it's the fastest, none on drowsy 24 hour allergy relief pods spring moving sale has been extended, save up to 25% on moving and storage until june 10 in cbi pods, it's been trusted with over 6 million moves don't wait, use promo code 25 now to save, look at pot.com today, it's germs day off. but neutrogena ultra hsi or sunscreen is still on the clock. vital sun protection goes six layers deep, blocking 97% of burning uv rays. it's light, but it's working hard he liked me neutrogena ultras year sentence screen no way. why would i use kayak to compare hundreds of travel sites at once i like to do things myself i do my own searching you. cai it i can't trust anything else to do the job right hi act search one, i'm done everyone. our mission is to provide complete balanced nutrition, are strengthened energy ensure with 27 vitamins and minerals, nutrients for f', and get free shipping anywhere. >> mason why five good things. >> listen wherever you get your podcasts close captioning brought to you by meso book.com our?

and attention women's sports were already growing in popularity. but the arrival of the record-breaking college mega star, caitlin clark has just exploded interest in the game. whilst her indiana fever team has been struggling, her personal performance have largely justified the hype and she's been setting records for a rookie and has just been named as the rookie of the month as well. but our opponents are not making it easy and this flagrant foul by chicago's kennedy carter over the weekend has i think exposed some of the tensions within the league. look at angel reese applauding that fell. she and clark had a tempestuous rivalry as college athletes. and she says that she deserves some of the credit for the games new found and popularity it all started from the national championship game and i begin with this for two years now and understanding like negative things they've been said about me, but honestly, i'll take that because look where women's basketball is. >> people are talking about women's basketball. you've never would think that when we talk about women's basketball, people are pulling up the games. we got celebrities coming, the games sold out arenas just because of one single game. and just looking at that like, i'll take that role. i'll take the bag our role and i'll continue to take that and be there for that for my teammates. and if i want to be then i know i'll go down in history. i'll look back at 20 years and he had a reason why we watching women's basketball is not just because of one person, it's because of me too, and i went down to realize that question this rivalry is a compelling narrative and surely it will only intensify the fans will have their own opinions about who or what is making the games so popular right now? now espn host pat mcafee mcafee, i'm sorry, called caitlin clark, the b word while attempting to praise her yesterday what did he send and showed a date he say anything about that? oh, absolutely. he led the show with it. he apologized virus statement on monday and it was the first thing he talked about today. he says that he never meant to cause offense. he said that he felt like he was the worst human on earth when he realized the controversy that he unleashed. and he says that he reached out to clock to apologize. he says that she says it's all good. now, he denies that he is a racist. and with regard to the b word, he says that he often talks about people he respects with language that might sound offensive. but he says he's learned a lot in the last 24 hours and he's made it very clear again that he is a very big fan of caitlin clark's alright. >> don riddell. thank you so much. we appreciate it any moment on president biden will deliver remarks on his new executive action on the border. we're going to bring that to you live what it happens, you're watching cnn news i brought in a short max protein with 30 grams of protein. those who tried me felt more energy just two weeks. here, i'll take that ensure not to protein 30 grams, protein one prim sugar, 25 vitamins and minerals, and a new fiber blend with a prebiotic zer tech allergy relief works fast and las a full 24 hours, so zaid can be bva deliver dance okay. dave?
