a notable drop in crossings at the border. new reporting on what is behind it and why the officials believe it might not last. >> it is seen as a first of its kind wrongful death lawsuit, the victims of the buffalo supermarket shooting are taking on the social media giants saying they radicalized gunman. the legal teams are saying they want to ensure us that it never happens again. get ready for long lines at the airlines, because they are expecting a boom for memorial day, and 42 million americans are to be on the move, and the steps the airlines are taking to prepare. that is coming up next on cnn "news central."

this morning a fresh look at the southern border. this was el paso, and you can see it right there. wow. i mean, relatively sparse, really sparse, very calm. this is what the white house had hoped for. especially when there were scenes like this just one week ago. migrants lining up before the expiration of title 42, and the homeland security alejandro mayorkas warns that it is too early to know if the migrant surge has peaked. and that is after wrangling maneuvers of the governor of texas sending a busload of migrants to the vice president of the united states. so we have teams at the border and the white house. we begin at the white house as arlette seanez is there, and what are you hearing from the people in the building behind you, arlette, of what they are seeing? >> president biden is saying that the situation at the border is going better than expected

after he, himself, had predicted a chaotic few days of the lifting of title 42. now, the biden administration has been out thing the fact that there has been a drop in the number of border encounters since title 42 ended. take a look at the numbers. on saturday, 4,200 encounters at the border, and friday, 6,300, and compared to just before title 42 lifted when the number of border encounters were hovering around 10,000. we are expecting to receive an update shortly from department of homeland security about the situation down at the border. but you heard yesterday, the homeland security secretary alejandro mayorkas trying to argue that the plans and the messaging that the administration had put in place in lead-up to the lifting of title 42 has led to some of the drop in the encounters. take a listen. >> we have communicated very clearly a vitally important message to the individuals who

are thinking of arriving at the southern border. there is a lawful, safe and orderly way to arrive in the united states. that is through the pathways that president biden has expanded in an unprecedented way, and then there's a consequence if one does not use the lawful pathways. >> reporter: the big question going forward is whether the decrease of the number of encounters is something temporary or if it is a part of a longer-term trend. the white house is pushing back on the political criticism receiving from both democrats and republicans. they are also still grappling with the legal challenges to the title 42 policies. chief among those is that the federal judge down in florida which blocked the biden administration's plan to release some migrants from the cbp custody without papers. the judge ordered that to be

halted 14 days, and we are four days into that. the biden administration is expected to appeal that very quickly, but it is simply one of the tools that the administration had been trying and hoping to use to try to alleviate any of the overcrowding or the capacity issues with some of the facilities and the shelters. the shelters could be a major topic for the white house going forward. the border official warned that if they don't have the tool in place, they could see 45,000 migrants in the cbp operations within a month, and this is one of issues they are addressing while grappling with title 42. >> okay. so keep us posted. we go to polo sandoval, and he is in el paso near the border, and what are you seeing this morning? >> well, john, here is the now, based on what we are hearing from multiple sources and government official. the apprehensions have dropped

are considerably strained and it continues. all you have to do is to look behind me. context is key here. the number of migrants behind me, these are the individuals recently apprehended, processed, released leading up to the expiration of title 42. so what you are seeing here is single adult males and a few women as well, because of the families who are being housed in the shelters, and they are in a state of limbo. they have been released by the federal authorities the and expected to travel out of here in the not so distant future. one of the 22-year-old venezuelan men said that he has paid for the bus ticket out of here to colorado. and one of the 17-year-old men said that he is waiting for his brother to get out of detention, and they will go to colorado where they plan to live in the

proceedings of the asylum, and that is the situation on the ground of why we have seen the people sleeping on the sidewalk, which is a relatively smaum number compared to last week, because they don't fit into the shelters. the shelters are belonging to the men and ching. the key metric here is the rate of release. so the number of migrants released from dhs official, and if it is a controlled flow, it is going to allow the nonprofits on the ground to manage the assistance they need to continue with the travels, because that is the number to increase, and that is asylum seekers settling throughout the communities in the country and whether it is denver or as we have talked about at length new york city. >> polo sandoval for us in el paso. thank you for being there. sara? last hour, president biden said that he had no update on the debt ceiling talks, and deadline for the potential default is

looming for the debt creeling to be passed. sources have said that the president is expected to meet with the congressional limit tomorrow. we have heard over the weekend that biden is down limit on it, and saying that both sides were far apart. this is very different what we heard from president biden sunday where he seemed to have hope to get it done. we are two weeks away, and what are you hearing? >> yeah. over the weekend there were continuing conversations among the staff. they actually met for three hours saturday, sara. while the progress was slow behind the scenes, sources said they were making progress. then this morning, you had the house speaker kevin mccarthy saying to our colleagues that he believes that this these negotiations are actually going nowhere fast. this is what he said. >> i still think that we are far

apart. it does not seem to be what they want. and it seems that they are in a meeting, but they are not talking about anything serious. in the meantime, we are just watching the cbo coming out saying that we are $100 billion further in debt. so, it is more like we want a default than a deal to me. >> time is obviously running short, sara, and like you said that the country may hit the deadline on june 1st, which is not going to give the congressional leaders much time to find a consensus on this issue. one of the things that is playing out is concern that it is going to be taking time up here on capitol hill to pass the bills through the house, and the senate to get you agreed upon. it seems that he is supposed to have a deal by the weekend to ensure they have the time on the

floor to get it all through before the june 1st deadline. we are expected to get a update for the treasure, and we waiting to find out if that is indeed the date or a deadline, and there is not a whole lot of time to waste. >> that is true. thank you for following up. kate? >> three of the victims killed and one survivor of the buffalo, new york, grocery store shooting massacre are suing, and find out more about this lawsuit. this weekend in iowa ron desantis and president trump were both supposed to hold riots, but only one made it. and the impact is going to be felt far beyond turkey's

. more than 35,000 students across 80 schools in oakland, california, are back inside of classrooms tomorrow. the teachers union says that the seven-day strike has come to an end. the educators say a 2 1/2-year tentative agreement is reached with a salary increase for all of the teachers. they also settled a series of social and educational reforms referred to as common good goals. a 19-year-old and a

20-year-old were killed and five other teenagers injured in a shooting in yuma, arizona. the response for shots fired on saturday night, but police have not made any arrests or released a suspected motive. there are now 224 mass shootings in the united states this year alone. vice media is filing for bankruptcy protection as the leaders are preparing to sell the company. it publishes news and technology news like motherboard and tech 99 and they published vice news tonight, and they are having to layoff dozens of people. john? families of members killed in a grocery store mass shooting last year are now suing platforms including meta, discord and youtube.

they say they have livestreamed the massacre, and they should be held accountable as kate spoke to the attorneys bringing lawsuit. >> the livestreaming of the loved ones getting their brains blown out was shared over 3 million times. why did that happen? because of irresponsible social media that was getting maxization of user engagement and making a lot of money from their advertisers. >> all right. cnn's omar jimenez is here, and explain the contours of what could be a very significant lawsuit. >> of course. too many people are looking at this, and saying, well, could this apply to like the other cases. this is because this is a person

who was not raised by a racist family, and he had no history of negative interactions with the black families. and the shooter acknowledged that the anti-semitic and violence that he encountered online provided information and expertise for him to commit the massacre on may 14th, 2022. and this how it proliferated from twitch, to fortran to red dit to facebook. and these social media platforms were profiting from not only hosting, but amplifying it as well. as we heard from the lawyer, it has been viewed is more than 3 million times over different platforms, and all of those factors are playing into it. >> and what we hear from people who study this, the next mass

shooter often takes cues from events whether or not he finds that information online or elsewhere, but it is something that seems to perpetuate itself, and what do the social media companies say to itself? >> this is scrutiny, they have been under for years now, and all of them in some form, meta, facebook, snapchat, and others, they have invested in technology to remove the extremist posts, and this is a lot of content here. snapchat in particular said that in regards to this case, we deliberately designed snapchat from different social media platforms, and we do not vet some content, and allow it to be algorithmically vetted, we instead, do vet it. so did this become vetted until

it is reality, and then the first of its kind or at least a rare lawsuit, and many people are going to be looking to see how this unfolds, and saying that this is a factor in the shooter that may have affected my community. >> so there are a number of people watching this, and the president has said that unfortunately, we see so much of this now, that any decision here could have a wide ranging impact. omar jimenez, thank you. great to see you. kate? >> it is something of a political face-off, former president donald trump and florida governor ron desantis to have events in iowa over the weekend. due to weather, trump had to cancel, and in an unscheduled stop, desantis was in des moines where trump was supposed to be. and are there ever coincidences in politics. dana bash is joining me to talk about this, and due to the interesting travel itineraries between trump and desantis, it is fascinating how desantis

resists taking on trump directly, and something that is going to work now, but it is clearly impossible to continue to do throughout the primary. >> it is very, very difficult. you exactly right. when desantis was talking about trump, he still was doing it in very vailed terminology saying that we can't look back, we have to look forward. instead of saying, no, the election was not stolen, or no, what the former president says, there is no evidence to back it up. so he is very reluctant on that front. what he did differently, kate, yesterday or over to weekend, i should say that he had not done before was number one, retail politics. it sounds pretty straight forward and rudimentary talking about vying for potentially vying for candidacy in the state of iowa, but that is not something that he is known to like or be good at. he did it, and he was clearly

listening to critics about the fact that he, ron desantis, i am talking about has been too standoffish, and also, the potential campaign was so agile in switching the itinerary, and going where donald trump was supposed to go, and that is definitely giving republicans who are already pushing desantis aside and donors who are pushing desantis aside saying that he is not going to be able to start before he is officially started the race, saying, hmm, maybe he does have more of it on a national stage than we thought, but it is one event, one trip, one example. >> let me play for the event that you were mentioning. this is what not taking on directly and yet take on kind of, sort of looks like from ron desantis these days. listen to this. >> if we make 2024 election a referendum on joe biden and his failures and if we provide a

positive alternative for the future of the country, republicans will win across the board. if we do not do that, if we get distracted, if we focus the election on the past or other side issues, then i think that the democrats are going to beat us again. >> what i am also hearing, dana, is that we need to hear new ideas, and chris sununu from new hampshire is also one that comes to mind, but how do other iowa republicans hear this? >> well, it is interesting, because yes, there are so many ways that he is intentionally vague, that there are a number of ways to read it in addition to the questions about the former president refusing to admit that he lost the 2020 election. another is generational which is what you are getting at

comparing desantis to sununu both governors in the 40s and of important states, and there is a real possibility of voters going to the iowa caucuses and looking for the next generation. you remember back in 2016 when there were real iowa caucuses on the republican side, it was not donald trump who won, but it was ted cruz who won, and donald trump did not take that well. but since then, and talking to iowa republicans, donald trump has become even more popular. so that is making it hard to answer your question about how much the generational or the looking forward argument is going to play. >> yes, plenty of time to take the temperature of the iowa caucusgoers. thank you, dana. >> thank you, kate.

>> the expected surge of migrants to cross the southern border after the end of title 42 has not happened. last week in the final days of the covid era public health crossings, some crossings were topping 10,000 per day, and now just over 4,000. in response to the dramatic drop, homeland security secretary alejandro mayorkas has warned that it is too early to know if the border crossings have peaked, and still, many local leaders are dealing with the influx. local leaders such as new york and denver are asking for resources to help with the resources for those migrants. joining me is the mayor of denver, colorado, michael hancock, and thank you for joining us at this hour. >> absolutely. glad to be with you.

>> all right. let me ask you this, because the border officials are saying that we are not seeing the surge with the expiration of title 42, and are you seeing the surge of migrants coming to your city? >> yes, over the last four days, we have seen a little bit of the lull. but we are cautiously optimistic that we will be able to see, continue to see the number, but this is, we expected to see kind of a surge in the latter part of may and early june, so we will wait to see what happens, be new the meantime, we will continue to serve those who are here, and do what we can to prepare for another influx. >> i wanted to ask you about the policy of on the border, and one of our reporters and producer, polo sandoval, and they spoke to migrants, one from mexico, and one from venezuela, and they are saying they are coming to denver for a specific reason of the nice hotels and the space is nice, and the friends are

telling them, that hey, instead of going somewhere else, go to denver. do you worry that the policies is put forth and the thoughts that it is a sanctuary city are attracting people on top of the new thing that people are sharing video of the hotels that they going into, and does it worry you that it is a place where a lot more migrants want to go? >> listen, we will never shy away from a city that is going to be treating people with compassion and humane manner. that is who we are here in denver, but we put in place guardrails that are important and communicated it to the migrants who arrive and the ngos, that when you come here to denver, you is a finite period of time to come here to take advantage of the opportunities that we have to help you to move on to the next opportunity in the u.s. or if you are going to be staying in denver, make sure that you have an aid number, and

have a contact with the border patrol. so those things are working in a sense. we know they have a sophisticated line of communication with each other, and as migrants that is what they do with the families and the communities to seek safety and security in the new environment, but what we need to do is to continue to have guardrails to have finite resources, and we are stressed here in denver, and communicating it to the partners. >> so you are stressing the assistance, and in new york, you are with the same thing of the failures to come, and the idea is to move people out to other cities within the state, and what are you making with what to do as the mayor of denver? >> well, we are doing it. over 60% of the people who come through denver or come to denver are going through denver, and we are helping them with the bus

passes as you desire. many of the friends and family will move on, and you have to remember, sara, the second phase of the huge influx of migrants coming, and many of them will settle in the next phase, and these are the relatives and family and neighbors coming to connect with them. so we suggest that about 60% of them are moving on the other locations. they are not staying in denver, but many of us mayors including mayor adams of new york and others are sending a letter to the president of what we need to help our cities to deal with tin flux of migrants particularly as he is trying to communicate with congress of what they need to do to step up to the responsibility of the federal government on this issue. >> i wanted to ask you what you think needs to be done, and if you believe that immigration is

broken in this country? >> oh, it is absolutely broken. it is unfortunate that it is broken and has been for some time. the u.s. has had a chance to fix this issue, but because of partisan politic, it has not been fixed. so congress needs to move quickly to fix this immigration system number one, and we need interim strategies, work strategies for the migrants, and help them with capacity particularly around shelter and financial, because denver has expended over $700 million and we have received $100 million and this is unacceptable, because we are bearing the burden of a immigration responsible, and the federal government needs to make sure that we are hole. so financial resource, shelter resources and other resources necessary to take care of the

resources around hygiene and clothing and things necessary and strategies to help them to move along the settle in the u.s. >> interesting to say that you have gotten together with the mayors of these other cities that you have told us about the federal government was in the letter that you said was sent to the white house. thank you, mayor, and we appreciate your time, mayor, and your candor. a teacher in the state of florida says she is under investigation after she showed a film "strange new world" that has a character that is bisexual and another character who is gay. and so you spoke to her, and under investigation for what? >> that is the question right there. the teacher has a lot of questions as to how this process is going to play out, and what is next for her. she is jenna barbie, and she is teaching fifth grade in hernando

county, and that is part of tampa, and this is part of the early standardized testing, and she played for the fifth grade class the disney movie "strange world" because the plot is tied to environment and ecosystems, and it does feature a character that is biracial and gay, but the teacher barbie says that the movie is not controversial, and she had signed slips of every parent in the class to allow for the viewing of pg movies, and it was not rejected. we reached out to the florida schools that the florida department of schools is investigating her that a parent complained that the movie was inappropriate, and that parent is a school board member. they sent letters to the homes of the parent, and this is what they said in the letter that

yesterday the movie "strange world" is shown in the classroom, and while not the plot of the movie, there is a male character showing feelings for another male movie, and we will be reviewing to see if there is corrective action to be needed. so barbie showed up for comment section, and the school member said that she called the board of education, and her daughter was in her class, and that barbie did not follow policy, because she did not get preemptive approval to show that specific movie, and this is what rodriguez had to say in that board meeting. >> it is not a teacher's job to impose their beliefs upon a child, religious, sexual orientation, gender identity,

any of the above. but allowing movies such as this assists teachers in opening a door, and please hear me, they assist teachers in opening a door for conversations that have no place in our classrooms. >> and here is barbie's response. listen. >> i was never trying to indoctrinate my students by showing them something that had differences in diversity. i was showing them a movie that related to our curriculum on the earth that taught many valuable life lessons that relate to the core lessons, but yet, i understand why that parent was upset as i told her before, but i do not believe i made a mistake by showing this movie. >> cnn has reached out to florida state of education and barbee has reached support from the students and parents alike,

and she is trying to navigate about what is going to happen to her with two weeks left in the school year now. john. >> and this all has to do with the "don't say gay law" in florida schools. thank you for the reporting. kate? >> still coming up in cnn "news central" the runoff in turkey's presidential election, and what it has at stake for nato and far beyond. that enable digital innovation and enterprise control,, vmware helps you keeeep your cloud options open. was also the first time your profits left you speechless. at the counter or the go, save 20% th the lowest transaction fees and keep more of what you make. start sang today at godaddy.com will you pauset real quick?

state run news says that president erdogan is leading group with 49.5% of the vote from sunday. the leading opposition candidate has just under 45% and also now says that he is going to quote fight until the end. no candidate has reached 50% threshold required to win outright. we go back over to our reporter there in istanbul. what happens now? >> well, the citizens go back out to polls to vote for erdogan or kilicdkilicdaroglu. and as we have seen in the first two round, it is a very divided country. the opposition went into the elections really optimistic and

really hoping to be campaigning on the platform of change and returning country to the real democracy and reversing the years of erdogan's rule and a united opposition coming together to putting forward one candidate. they believe it is enough. they believe that they had real chance at winning this election and unseated president erdogan, but looking at the reality of what has been coming out of the elections, again, a divided nation, and for president erdogan, it is not a victory, but it is a win coming at a time when he has his ratings that have suffered in recent years and recent months especially because of the handling of the economic situation in this country. the economic policies are blamed for the country's economic and currency crisis that has impacted pretty much every person in this country. so, we'll have to wait and see what happens, kate, with that next vote. you have also got a third

candidate who got just over 5% of the votes, and those votes are up for grabs. will either of those two, two different sides be able to gather any of these voters, critical votes there, and we will have to wait and see, and we'll have to see if the opposition can keep the momentum and enthusiasm that they had going into the first round. >> jomana karadsheh, thank you. more than 2 million americans are on the move this memorial day weekend, and that means 3 million people hitting the roads or taking to the skies, and that means after the computer meltdowns, are they ready? that is ahead. delicious too. just ask my old friend, kevin. noththing like enjoying a cold e while watching the game. who's winning? we are, my friend. we are.

millions of americans turn to diet products when they look to drop a few pounds, but sugar substitutes found in diet sodas and food may not help with your weight loss effort. cnn senior health correspondent elizabeth cohen is joining us now. a lot of people use some of these sugar substitutes hoping it will help them keep weight off if not lose weight, so what's wrong with that? >> well, according to the world health organization, sara, it doesn't work. they looked through a lot of studies and said we don't see that helps people lose weight. there's a potential for problems, diabetes, cardiovascular issues. artificial sweeteners are sold

also there's potential liver issues so people have to be monitored. >> all right, that's a lot of information there. it's going to make people annoyed because a lot of people, yours truly, do use some of those substitutes so we'll have to see what to do next. also new this morning, aaa has released travel predictions for memorial day weekend ands going to be busy. setting expectations at 42.3 million americans to travel 50 miles or more. u.s. airports also likely to be busier than we've seen in years, keeping with a trend you've definitely seen recently if you've flown really anywhere. pete muntean has the data and is back with us. pete, what's it going to look like? >> two weeks from memorial day, kate, and we're ten days out from when the rush really begins on thursday according to aaa. so make your plans now if you have not already. what's so interesting about the data is this is really the unofficial kickoff to summer and

we'll likely see numbers this summer exceed pre-pandemic levels. of course the vast majority of people will drive. 37 million people forecasted by aaa to drive 50 miles or more out of that 42 million people expected to travel in total. that total number, only 1% up from what we saw back in 2019 before the pandemic, likely helped out by gas prices nearly $1 a gallon lower than they were this time last year. $3.54 is the current average. it was $4.47 this time a year ago. here are the worst times to travel. friday between 3:00 and 6:00 p.m. before memorial day. and then monday coming back, when everyone begins coming pack home all at once between noon and 3:00 p.m. aaa says this is really the time to take advantage for work from home. try to tweak your trip to avoid some of this traffic. listen. >> so if you can extend that

weekend trip to tuesday perhaps or maybe work remotely on tuesday and come back wednesday, play around with your schedule to avoid those big delays because some metro areas could be seeing double traffic times than what they normally see. if your commute is normally two hours, you could be looking at a four-hour trip. >> reporter: one of the big drivers of the increase of traffic here kate is air travel. that's contributing to the big aaa number. up 11% compared to last year. a lot of people more comfortable traveling by air now. really we're going to see things like normal or maybe even bigger, kate. >> okay, thanks, pete. with the unworkable solution of just take more time off. >> good luck with that. >> what are you guys saying, like the tuesday after memorial day. you see it on news central on kate's place, we'll have a big video wall that looks a lot like a swimming pool. >> if one has a swimming pool

that sounds fantastic. >> you know what we won't be having? diet coke because apparently it doesn't hurt. i'm stuck on that. >> thank you for joining us. this is "cnn news central."
