the trial is now under way for hunter biden. the president's son is facing felony gun charges. israel confirms the deaths of four more hostages held by hamas in gaza. and evacuation orders are now lifted in the latest california wildfire, but officials still worry about extreme heat on the way. the criminal trial of the president's son is under way in delaware. hunter biden is charged with three felony counts related to his alleged illegal purchase and possession of a firearm in 2018. he faces up to 25 years in prison if convicted, and this is the first time in american history that a child of a sitting u.s. president has faced criminal prosecution. cbs's erica brown reports ahead of tuesday's opening arguments. >> reporter: with the jury seated, opening statements are set to begin tuesday in the federal firearms trial of hunter biden in wilmington, delaware. president biden's son is accused of lying on federal gun purchase forms when he said he wasn't a drug addict.
3:32 am
he has pleaded not guilty and says he's being unfairly targeted by the justice department. the case went to trial after the collapse last year of a plea deal. >> it blew up at the last minute. it was lucy pulling the football away from charlie brown when everyone thought it was about to be sealed, done, and delivered, and it wasn't. and they were back to square one. >> reporter: the three felony charges stem from a 2018 firearm purchase when he was, according to his memoir, addicted to crack. he's accused of lying to a federally licensed gun dealer, making a false claim on the application by saying he was not a drug user, and illegally having the gun for 11 days. in a statement monday, president biden said as president, he won't comment on pending federal cases but gave his support. i have boundless love for my son and confidence in him, and respect for his strength, president biden said. our family has been through a lot together, and jill and i are going to continue to be there for hunter and our family with our love and support. erica brown, cbs news, wilmington, delaware.
3:33 am
cbs news has learned that president biden is expected to issue a major executive order on immigration tuesday allowing him to partially shut down the asylum process at the southern border. chief white house correspondent nancy cordes is at the white house, where she says it will be the most restrictive border policy ever enacted by a democratic president. >> reporter: cbs news has learned that this new executive order will allow u.s. immigration officials to deport migrants without processing their asylum claims anytime the number of illegal border crossings tops a specific threshold. sources tell cbs news that threshold is likely to be 2,500 migrant apprehensions a day, which means this partial ban could be triggered on day one because the number of apprehensions at the southern border in may, last month, was 3,800 a day according to the border patrol. right now, asylum seekers are allowed to stay in the u.s. until their case is processed, which can take years.

critics say that creates an incentive for those who don't qualify to come to the u.s. nancy cordes, cbs news, the white house. today the israeli military reported that four more hostages are dead, but their bodies are still being held by hamas. news of their deaths now increasing pressure on prime minister netanyahu to reach a deal to bring the remaining hostages home. cbs's imtiaz tyab has more on this from tel aviv, on who these men were and how hamas used them for propaganda. >> reporter: it was in the ruins of the southern gaza city of khan younis where the remains of nadav popplewell, haim peri, amiram cooper, and yoram metzger were found by the israeli military. this hamas propaganda video released in december shows three of them still alive. it's not known how they died, but an army spokesman says it likely happened months ago. the discovery of the remains of

even more hostages has only intensified the pressure on prime minister netanyahu. on saturday, over 120,000 israelis took to the streets of tel aviv to demand he move forward with a deal to release the hostages and end the war in gaza as outlined by president biden. >> the most important thing is bringing them back right now, no matter what. >> reporter: netanyahu insisting he has not been pressured to dismiss the cease-fire deal by members of his own extreme right-wing coalition after two ultra-nationalist leaders threatened to quit and topple his government over the plan, saying, "the goals of the war, chief among them is the elimination of hamas." as the misery across gaza only deepens, according to health officials, 40 palestinians have been killed in israeli strikes over the past day alone. with prime minister netanyahu insisting on eliminating hamas and hamas continuing to refuse a
