7:03 am
the pandemic era title 42 set to expire at midnight. we're learning now rules and what to expect when the rule ends tonight. matt rivers is in mexico and has the very latest for us. good morning, matt. >> reporter: good morning, robin. you can see hundreds of migrants remaining on the border waiting to get processed by border patrol. this as this will be a monumental day, with huge implications for u.s. immigration policy. this morning thousands of migrants crowding all along the southwest u.s. border, one of the most consequential immigration policies in u.s. history is about to end. title 42 allowed officials to quickly expel most migrants at the border without allowing asylum claim ends just before midnight. >> we are clear eyed about the challenges we are likely to face in the days and weeks ahead. >> reporter: for months officials worried about a spike in migration post title 42, but in a twist, seems that spike has come before the policy ends.
7:04 am
border patrol's chief saying, quote, the increase we have seen in the last five to seven days was really the surge. after may 11th, i don't expect us to have the 17,000 to 18,000 crossings per day some people predicted. and in some ways, applying for asylum about to get harder and riskier. new rules to apply, plus if denied a five year ban on reentry into the u.s. we've been here for days watching as hundreds, if not thousands of migrants have crossed from mexico, going under the wire and are now trapped in the shadow of the u.s. border wall in the harsh desert conditions. now inside that wire, santiago, a venezuelan migrant we met earlier who has waited here for about a week. we crossed the river to speak with him but he told us border patrol did not want him speaking to the press. what he's saying is they don't have water, food.
7:05 am
because they can't leave to go back to mexico, they don't know what they're going to do. . border patrol saying facilities in five of nine regions along the border are overcapacity, but that does leave four regions with capacity. border patrol said they're transferring migrants to ease the burden. just because there's not a spike in migration as expected doesn't mean it won't happen in the future. for the biden administration migration will remain an issue on the practical side and looking ahead to 2024, george, it could be a political issue as well. george? we have the latest on congressman george santos. he's out on bond after pleading not guilty and vowing to stay in congress. senior congressional correspondent rachel scott has the story. good morning, rachel. >> reporter: george, good morning. just 24 hours after congressman george santos turned himself
7:06 am
over to authorities, he will return right back here to capitol hill, not only as a member of congress but a criminal defendant. he's still resisting calls to resign. now says he still plans to run for re-election. congressman george santos surrendering to authorities, pleading not guilty to 13 federal counts. making his way through a scrum of reporters and photographers to declare his innocence. >> i'm going to fight the witch hunt. i'm gonna take care of clearing my name. i'm going to clear my name. >> reporter: santos is facing charges of wire fraud, money laundering and theft of public funds. he's also accused of unemployment fraud, receiving thousands in benefits even though he had a job making $120,000 a year. why would you apply for unemployment benefits when you had a job making $120,000 a year? >> rachel, this is part of my defense. this is inaccurate information and i will get to clear my name on this during the pandemic it wasn't very clear.
7:07 am
i don't understand where the government's getting their information. >> reporter: prosecutors say you got over $20,000 in unemployment benefits, sir. how is that acceptable? >> ma'am, like i said, my employment was changed during the time. i don't understand where the government is coming from. >> reporter: federal pros cuteders say santos lied to congress, inflating his salary on financial disclosure forms and defrauded donors by siphoning funds meant for his campaign to personal accounts, then using it to pay off personal debt, even buying designer clothes. he surrendered his passport but he is still defiant, not backing down. are you planning on running for re-election? >> i am. >> reporter: for months he's been at the center of controversy, accused of lying about nearly every aspect of his life, from his education to his background. at least a dozen republicans are calling on him to resign. >> it's a distraction and punch line. >> reporter: kevin mccarthy, counting on santos' vote to remain in power, is not calling for him to step down.
7:08 am
for the first time make it clear, he will not support santos' bid for re-election. mccarthy keenly aware of his razor thin majority in the house. as for santos, he's due back in court june 30th. he's facing a separate investigation by the ethics committee and fraud charges. a hearing on that case is expected later today. >> let's bring in dan abrams. what would his defense be? lot of charges out there. >> his defense would have to be something like mistake, misunderstanding. look, he is making it a political defense for now. why aren't they going after joe biden? when you get in a courtroom you have to present a legal defense. i would presume the defense would be, they misunderstood what certain expenses were. they misinterpreted it. also, he would probably argue with regard to his intent that, okay, maybe there were some
7:09 am
mistakes made but they weren't done for the specific purpose of engaging in any sort of fraud. >> is that where the other lies he told could come into play? >> the other lies could come in really only in a potential, let's say plea deal. right? it might make them less likely to do a deal with him. they might want to make the offer less attractive. those could also come up in a potential sentencing. but they're not gonna come up specifically, resume stuff, etc. that's not gonna come up in the context of this case. >> so far republicans are saying he can hold on to his seat until he's convicted. the question is how long? >> right. that's an interesting way to punt it, right? look, if he's convicted we'll have to have a serious discussion. that could be a long time from now. his re-election's in 2024. it's not that far away. it's a nice way for them to say, we'll deal with this once the courts deal with it. it may take awhile. >> they need his vote. >> they need his vote. that's a close district, right? last thing they want is a new election right now. >> thank you very much.
7:10 am
michael? >> thank you, george. turning to the company at the center of the february toxic train derailment in east palestine. now saying they'll compensate the homeowners affected by it as another norfolk southern train derailed overnight. our transportation correspondent gio benitez is tracking the latest for us. >> reporter: east palestine owners have been calling for this since that toxic derailment. those homeowners have said they will never be able to sell their homes for what they were worth before that toxic spill. now norfolk southern's ceo said it will pay those homeowners for declines in property values. the company telling the u.s. senate it will establish a fund for homes within a five mile radius of the derailment. this morning norfolk southern is still struggling with derailments. just hours ago another one in new castle, pennsylvania. thankfully there were no injuries, no hazardous materials. that fund, the company said it will not wait. it will establish that fund immediately.

robin? >> sure is gonna help a lot of families. all right. thank you. now to the army sergeant convicted of killing a black lives matter protester. he has been sentenced to 25 years behind bars but there is a chance he could avoid prison time. john quinones is in south texas with the latest. good morning, john. >> reporter: good morning, robin. during this trial prosecutors showed text messages and social media posts from daniel perry that contained some racist and anti-protest language. no doubt that contributed to his 25 year prison sentence. but all that may be moot if the texas governor has his way. he's vowed to pardon this convicted killer. this morning the texas man convicted of shooting and killing a black lives matter protester could avoid prison time altogether. >> can you please rise? >> reporter: a judge sentencing army sergeant daniel perry to 25 years behind bars for the murder
7:12 am
of 28-year-old air force veteran garrett foster. but governor greg abbott citing the state's stand your ground laws, vowing to issue a pardon, posting on twitter, i look forward to approving the board's pardon recommendation as soon as it hits my desk. now that perry is sentenced all eyes are on the state's board of pardons and parole. >> there is no doubt that this political influence in our criminal justice system sets a terrible precedent. >> reporter: it was back in 2020 when perry pulled up to a crowd protesting the police killing of george floyd. police say that's when foster, who was also white, approached perry's car while carrying an ak-47 type rifle which is legal in texas. foster was then shot by perry multiple times with a handgun perry legally owned. garrett's family praising the judge's decision, even as a potential pardon looms.
7:13 am
>> this was a fair and just trial. to overturn that, i would probably for the rest of my life spend it fighting for justice. i shouldn't have to do that. >> reporter: perry's attorney saying their client did not receive a fair trial and that a pardon would be appropriate. >> this now allows us to move on to the next steps, which are the appeal. now we can fully participate in the pardon process. >> reporter: what happens now? well the district attorneys office tells us the parole board has agreed to hear a presentation from the da's offs and also agreed to hear from the victim's families. after that they'll take a few weeks and then decide whether to pardon perry or not. they're under a lot of pressure from the governor. george? >> john, thanks. new research showing some new promise for the future of cancer treatments using vaccines. good morning, erielle. >> good morning, george. pancreatic cancer is the fourth
7:14 am
leading cause of cancer deaths in america. researchers are hailing this as the first demonstrative treatment of its kind. the study looked at 16 pancreatic patients in the u.s. and in germany who were given the mrna vaccine specific to this disease. it's the same type of system used in certain covid vaccines. these vaccines were customized to provoke an immune response in patients' cells, attempting to train the immune system to fight back against cancer. researchers found hatch of the patients showed no relapse of their cancer during the 18 month study. while the study is just in phase 1 and these results are preliminary, with patients also under going chemotherapy and other treatments. experts say the results are so encouraging showing promise for the future of vaccines tailored to target certain cancers. this is remarkable. >> it sure is. dr. ashton will be joining us live in our next hour. michael? >> george now to the nba playoffs and the warriors keeping their hopes for a repeat

7:33 am
will be extradited to the u.s. within days.o cades after natalie holloway disa e tritedo e u.s. on charging stemming from the search of holloway. the government making the rare agreement to transfer him from the prison he's serving for the killing of another woman, stephanie flores. back on american soil, he will face fraud and extortion charges in alabama, where he was indicted in 2010 for allege dzly demanding $250,000 from holloway's mother beth in exchange for information leading to where the teen was buried. overnight beth announcing the long awaited extradition writing she would have been 36 now. it has been a very long and painful journey, but the persistence of many is going to pay off. together, we are finally getting
7:34 am
justice for natalie. 18 years ago this month, holloway disappeared on the last night of a high school class trip to aruba. according to police, she was last seen with van der sloot, who lived on the island. after what was describe as a night of drinking. in 2006, van der sloot sat down with abc news and recounted the last time he says he saw holloway. >> the last time i saw her she was sitting in the sand by the ocean. >> reporter: when asked if he killed her? >> no. >> reporter: natalie's parents say they were victims of a botched investigation by aruban authorities after van der sloot was initially arrested but released due to lack of evidence. her mother returning to aruba in 2018 to retrace her daughter's steps. >> i helped get her bag out of the car, kissed her good-bye. never could i have imagined. >> reporter: now her body was never found but a judge officially declared that she was deceased.
7:35 am
abc news has learned van der sloot's extradition is likely to happen in a week, perhaps as early as this weekend. michael? for more now, we are joined by dan abrams. abc contributor, former fbi agent brad garrett. gentlemen, thank you for joining us. brad, this is very unusual. what would it have taken to get peru to extradite someone who is already behind bars there? >> i would say concessions either in the economic or political world. for example, there are sanctions, travel sanctions to peru. perhaps the state department lifted those. new president in peru. maybe he's more inclined to help us. >> i'll add something to that. there was just an extradition at the end of april of peru's former president back to peru. he was living here. they have been wanting him for years. the process has been in place since 2018. they've been trying to get back
7:36 am
the former president of peru, who was president from 2001 to 2006. alejandro toledo. he's wanted there on corruption charges. he got sent back at the end of april. i have gotta believe that this is connected to this deal happening just weeks later. >> just connecting the dots like that. >> absolutely. >> extortion and fraud charges against van der sloot. how strong is this case against him? >> these are document cases. this is stuff where you have e-mails, etc. that tends to make these kinds of cases easier against someone like that. i would expect they're going to have a pretty strong case to bring against him. i expect it to move pretty quickly. >> brad, this isn't about natalie's disappearance, but what does it mean for her family? >> i think it has big potential, george. think about it having van der sloot on u.s. soil, still facing lengthy time in peru. he may well be motivated to get out of peru and he might perhaps
7:37 am
finally tell the truth. >> we heard brad say lengthy time. he's already serving 28 years for murdern fodrf is cod in the.s.?e quesone n't know the answer this is what's called a temporary extradition. what happens? he's convicted here and they send him back to serve the rest of his time in peru? or he's convicted here and he has to serve the time here first. that's something that will have to be worked out between the authorities. again, i would bet that might have been part of whatever deal they made as to where he would serve that time if he's convicted. it's a great question that we don't know the answer to yet. >> all right. thank you, guys. coming up news for kids with peanut allergies. next we hear from the 8-year-old who survived alone in the woods for two days. d alone in the woods for two days. i told myself i was ok with my moderate

8:31 am
hall of famer troy aikman. he's already giving you a hard time, troy. you're back for the second season of monday night football. i don't have to tell you this. one of the big story lines in the off season, the trade of aaron rodgers to that other new york team, the new york jets. we can exclusively announce rodgers will make his jets debut on "monday night football" here on abc, espn, espn +, hosting josh allen and the buffalo bills in week 1. you hear us here in the studio. what do you think of that matchup as your opener, troy? >> i think it's fantastic, robin. it's like you said. aaron rodgers was the story all last season. he went where he was hoping to go, and that's the new york jets. immediately they're a super bowl contender. we all know what josh allen and the bills have been able to do. they've come up a little bit short. to have that game to kick off the season after what will be a really exciting weekend. the nfl does such a great job
8:32 am
putting the schedule together. we're excited to be starting off the week 1 game with the bills at new york jets. should be fantastic. >> two great quarterbacks. you know a great quarterback when you see one. what do you think? let me know your assessment of the crop of quarterbacks in the league right now? >> well, i think the league's in good hands for sure. it seems like you lose a peyton manning or now we've lost tom brady, two of the all time greats. there's always young quarterbacks that step in. course, we've seen patrick mahomes, the league mvp, josh allen, all these guys who just got drafted, joe burrow, what he's been able to do. a lot of young talented quarterbacks. the league is in good hands for sure. >> i look at you and say, you're part of "monday night football." that's something we grew up watching. a legendary broadcast. what's it been like for you to be a part of it, troy?
8:33 am
>> well, i, like so many people, grew up watching "monday night football." the voices of howard cosell and don meredith and frank gifford echoed through my house every monday night. to be in this iconic booth alongside my partner for the last two decades is fantastic. the move to espn was amazing. it's been a great opportunity for us. we've enjoyed it. we're really excited to be kick off our second year together. >> i bet you are. you guys work so well together, troy. you're right there in front of the stadium. gotta ask you about the boys, the cowboys. they had the disappointing loss in the playoffs again. did they do enough in the off season to get back to the super bowl, a place they haven't been since you led them there back, i want to say 1995 or something. >> yeah, i know, it's been awhile. seems like every year we're talking about what they've done or are they talented enough.
8:34 am
they've been a really good team. they won a lot of regular season games over the last ten years or so. they just haven't played their best football when they've got ton the most important game theres the post season. they have a great core. to answer your question, robin. i do think they've done a lot of good thing. i thought the addition of wide receiver brandon cooks was amazing. stefen gilmore. they were more aggressive in the off season than they have in years past. they do have the talent. it's a long season to get to january where it will define what kind of year they have. the last few years obviously have ended in disappointment. >> got to show up in january. you can't say it, but i will. they got to show up in january, those big games. >> that's right. that's right. >> okay. in the time we have remaining, got to talk about my guy strahan. you all squared off across the scrimmage from each other about a couple dozen times or so. don't take this the wrong way. it's hard for me to believe that he only sacked you twice in all
8:35 am
those games? the michael strahan, only two? >> well, lot of games. robin, i gotta be honest with you. strahan, he's a little overrated. [ laughter ] hey, we -- there was a reason why there was a football life on the offensive line that i played behind. they were really good. michael, of course, hall of famer and great player. >> there's a reason why you are saying this via satellite and not in person. >> i just ran to the back room after that one. come on, man. >> now that we're at different networks, strah, i can say these kinds of things. [ laughter ] >> you had erik williams, who was in front of me, the toughest guy i ever went against. you threw the ball really fast. that was the reason. >> there you go. >> there you go.
8:36 am
>> cowboys fans, keep believing. another year, another disappointment. >> that was michael. >> the gloves are off. >> the gloves are off. you're always good about getting up and joining us and giving us this exclusive news like this. we just enjoy watching you in the booth and cannot thank you enough. thank you, troy. >> thank you, robin. >> love you, troy! >> you heard the love from stray. he said he loves you. this season's nfl schedule release show is tonight 8 p.m. eastern on espn2. espn will take you through each team's schedule, break down the biggest matchups in the two-hour special. coming up here on gma, phenomenal business woman and sports titan herself clara wu tsai is gonna join us live. come on back. to join
8:37 am
8:39 am
>> back with one of the most powerful woman in sports. clara is co-owner of the brooklyn nets and the new york liberty. she's also the executive producer of unfinished business about the inception of the wnba and the women who made it happen. i have been looking forward to seeing you again and talking about this. this is the best title, unfinished business. it's really through the players' eyes, things people don't even know happen back in the day and what's still going on. why was it so important for you to be part of this?
8:40 am
>> i think there are two reasons that i wanted to make this film. the first is the league was coming up upon a milestone moment, 25 years of the wnba. and i thought it was a good time to reflect, take stock and think about where we came from and also where we're headed. at the same time, we just bought the team and we were starting to make heavy investments, including moving the team from westchester county center, where they had been playing, to the barclays center, where the brooklyn nets play. so the director of the film, the fabulous talented allison klaman, she had the vision to tell the story through a dual timeline. so it follows, it traces the history, the 25 years of the league through the eyes of the new york liberty, which is one of the original eight teams. it also follows the 2021 new york liberty in its first season at barclays center. >> great way of doing it. >> the second and really important other reason that i wanted to make this film is
8:41 am
because there's been so little media coverage around women sports. even though there's a very proven appetite for women's sports, only about 5% of all sports coverage is on women's sports. there's just such a lack of story telling. i wanted to bring some national attention to the league and to these amazing athletes. >> you and everyone involved have done a brilliant job. i want to play a clip. new york liberty, one of the original players. we knew her as t-spoon. teresa weatherspoon. here it is. >> the game means that much to me. the game means that much that i leave something for someone else to be able to take. not just take from me, how about leave someone for someone else? that when you walk away, they got it. you left something for someone else to grow with. leaders lead. when leaders lead, they make sure they left the leader when they leave. >> that is the perfect sound
8:42 am
bite. if anything, the wnba is about grit, paying it forward. a lot of people feel the wnba, the players in the league, they have never gotten proper credit about speaking up. we really saw that in the bubble season. that really seems to be the core, part of the dna of the wnba, don't you think? >> definitely. i really admire the women in the wnba because they have so much courage to stand up or important social causes. even going back to sue witt in the film, who spoke out for lgbtq communities back in the '90s. going to black lives matter in the bubble. even as recently as last year, when so many players banded together to make sure that brittany griner was not forgotten in the year she was wrongfully detained.
8:43 am
year after year these women take risks for issues that they believe in. i think that is what this movie is about. and it is about persistence, resilience, overcoming obstacles and really always leaving something behind for the generation that comes after you. >> i love in film it shows what happened in the past when you bring up sue. that's a good example. but also what is currently happening. talk about you and your hub by joe. i love going to the games. michael and i have gone to many, whether the nets or the liberty. you are -- i gotta say this. so involved in the community, you and your husband. so what do you have going on? >> our teams play in brooklyn. they belong to brooklyn. while i would love nothing more than to bring a championship home to brooklyn, just because of the joy that it brings. it's incredible what a win can do to lift people's spirits. i also really believe that it's important to build a community up.
8:44 am
so we've been giving loans, grants and making equity investments into businesses in brooklyn, particularly black businesses. and for me, economic opportunity providing it, fostering it, has just been very important to me personally. i'm the daughter of immigrants from taiwan. they came to this country for economic opportunity and democracy. it's just always been something that i have been focused on and, you know, wanting to bring to everything i do. >> you have championed that for as long as i have been very fortunate to know you. a final question. the liberty, you are the talk of the off season in the wnba. y'all are loaded! tell me about the team. >> well, it should be a really exciting season. we now have some of the top players in the league. we have breanna stewart, courtney van der sloot. they join sabrina and also
8:45 am
the magical marie johanson known for her behind the back passes. right? it's a team full of all stars and champions and mvp's. the team is really deep. so i think it's going to be an exciting season. >> you're making me choke just thinking about it. >> it's going to be an exciting season. it could be the year that a rivalry takes hold between the east coast and west coast. probably the las vegas aces, the reigning champs and the new york liberty. maybe similar to, as you probably remember, the celtics and lakers back in the '80s. >> i kind of remember that. >> that was when it really led to, you know, more fans in the wnba. we think this is our moment. >> it's going to happen. thank you. sorry. the allergy attack comes every now and again.
8:46 am
it's not you talking about all you're going to do. >> i know you believe me. >> i do. i do. thank you, clara. i believe in you. unfinished business airs sunday at 9 p.m. eastern on espn2 and streaming on prime. now let's get to ginger. ging? >> thank you, robin. i'm here inside the butterfly area at the gilder center at the american museum of natural history. perhaps you have already seen a butterfly or two. there are more than 1,000 butterflies inside this room. it's a new exhibit here in the newest wing at the museum. more than 80 species of butterflies surrounding. this used to be a seasonal exhibit but now they have brought it year round. it is so tropical in here. 78 degrees. i'm way overdressed. it lets you be inside and learn from the butterflies. just one of the great things that appear to the phu seem. i want to introduce you to sean decatur. what are we going to see in the center? >> the center has more of our collection on display than ever before. the collection core. it's a sample of specimens and objects and the stories that
8:47 am
they tell. then there's a new digital immersive digital video experience called invisible worlds that takes you on a journey across the interconnectedness of life from the molecular level up to the systems level. you get to be a water droplet up to a rain forest canopy. >> thank you so much. you're speaking my language. i love some drew: meteorologist drew tuma with your forecast. a pleasant afternoon with sunshine with temperatures in the 60's and 70 days. -- 70's. and it feels like summer on saturday. gma. ♪

us. you were just 19 when you were shot by that police officer. a few years later you decided you wanted to sit down, have a face to face conversation with him. why did you do that? and what did you learn from that conversation? >> i decided to have a face to face with him because i believe in healing and i believe in redemption. in order for me to cross that threshold to heal on a deeper level, i needed to meet with him and help him redeem himself. >> and you talked about, after you were shot, the p emotionally, mentally. how were you able to turn that pain into purpose? >> i believe in god, man.
8:51 am
i believe that my life was purposeful before i was shot, and i didn't want that to change, so i was committed to turning my pain into purpose and helping people heal as i was trying to heal myself. >> which is definitely what your book does, man. one of the tenets in this book is really important. you say really, really good people make bad decisions molded by their surroundings and that their environment should be taken into account. talk to me about this. what do you mean by that? >> when a flower doesn't bloom, you fix the environment in which it grows, not the flower. and so i think that it makes us have to hold ourselves accountable and not only looking at the flower, but also how we contribute that to the environment. >> you talked about also one of the biggest problems is the divide between the police officers and the community. how do you build a bridge to cover that divide? >> oftentimes we under estimate the power of relationships. while policy is very important,
