7:03 am
there's a new threat on the way. >> more on that later. we're going to begin with breaking news overnight. title 42, the pandemic era immigration policy is over. we're live on both sides of the border. mireya villarreal will start us off. good morning, mireya. >> reporter: good morning, michael. overnight there were concerns that we would see a rush of migrants at the border. that didn't happen here, but what we did see was 150 migrants dropped off over night, the first so far in this area. this morning as title 42 officially comes to an end, migrants amassing along the u.s. border with the surge of american authorities waiting on the other side. >> we have a lot of different agencies here, as you can see. plus there's even more on stand by. >> reporter: as of midnight, most asylum applications in the
7:04 am
u.s. now require two things. nonmexican migrants must first apply for and be denied asylum in another country and migrants will have to make an appointment on the cbp1 app. if the rules aren't followed migrants face deportation and are not allowed to enter the u.s. for at least five years. overnight a federal judge temporarily blocking part of the white house's plan to address border crossings, barring federal agencies from releasing migrants before they've been given a notice to appear in court. amid already overcrowded facilities and millions of cases on the court's back log, customs and border protection calling the ruling harmful, saying it will under cut our ability to process and remove migrants and risks creating dangerous conditions for border patrol agents and migrants. that overcrowding exacerbated in title 42's final days. large groups of migrants rushing to the southern border to beat the clock. >> four days.
7:05 am
>> reporter: this family with four children waiting to get processed near the border wall in el paso for four days. one of the last groups to come through before new steeper consequences set in. u.s. border patrol chief raul ortiz confirming already there are 26,000 people in custody. to relieve the pressure, officials flying asylum seekers to other parts of the country for processing. overnight an el paso city run shelter receiving several bus loads of migrants. and the biden administration overnight taking another hit. the aclu confirming they are suing the government over what they are calling the travel ban policy. that says you have to go through another country and be denied asylum before you can come here to the united states. george? >> thanks. let's go to matt rivers across the border in mexico. good morning, matt. >> reporter: good morning, george. we want to show you what's going on here at the border. you can still see there are hundreds of migrants waiting to
7:06 am
be processed by border patrol. they've been here for days. the difference, title 42 has been lifted. given this court ruling in florida, the big question is whether migrants like those here who have already been waiting for a long time to get processed could be waiting longer. if that is the case, if processing times increase dramatically, it will make a very difficult situation for the migrants here that much harder. overnight we saw bathrooms put out, food, water delivered. those things were not happening earlier in this week. the situation here at the border extremely desperate. george? >> thank you, matt. we're joined now by secretary of homeland security mayorkas. hours since title 42 expired. what are you seeing at the border right now? >> george, thanks for having me. we are seeing precisely the challenge that we expected. we knew this was going to be a difficult transition when title 42, the public health authority that stemmed from the covid-19
7:07 am
pandemic, when it ended. indeed it ended at 11:59 p.m. last night and now we are using our immigration authorities, our traditional immigration authorities that deliver tougher consequences for people who cross the border illegally. >> tougher consequences but right now you have is a lot of migrants at the border, limited food, limited water. could this have been avoided? >> george, this is something that we were ready for. we cannot control the movement of people before they reach our border. our responsibility attaches one they are in our custody. i will tell you, we have made it very very clear, and we continue to communicate to migrants that this is not the way to seek relief in the united states. it's extraordinarily dangerous. they are in the hands of ruthless smugglers. we have built lawful, safe and ordinarily pathways for them to
7:08 am
come to the united states. they are going to meet tough consequences if they arrive at our border irregularly. >> what is your reaction from this ruling last night blocking you from releasing more migrants into the u.s. without an order to show up in court? >> george, we consider it a harmful ruling. the practice of releasing individuals when our border patrol facilities, when our stations are overcrowded, is something that each administration has done from administration to administration. this is a harmful ruling and the department of justice is considering our options. >> you see texas governor greg abbott is starting to send buses of migrants across the country. he says he's doing it because the administration is not doing its job. >> george, it is a very sad and tragic day when a government official uses human beings as pawns to score political points. objection. >> at this point how long is the situation going to go on and is it going to get worse before it gets better? >> we have said all along that
7:09 am
this period of transition from using a public health authority to our immigration authorities is going to be tough, it's going to be challenging. but we have a plan. we've been executing on our plan. it will take time but we have confidence that our plan will work. it has worked in the past. >> secretary mayorkas, thank you for your time this morning. >> thank you, george. >> all right. now to the severe weather hitting the heartland overnight. at least 16 reported tornados touching down across five states. rob marciano is in noble, oklahoma, for us. good morning, rob. >> good morning, michael. it was a chaotic evening along the i 35 corridor in central oklahoma. tornados ripping across this area doing damage to this town. utility crews are on site. this home cannot accept it. half of it badly damaged. the roof of this donut shop ripped off and thrown into the parking lot behind me.

7:12 am
manslaughter is the reckless killing of another individual with no intent. >> no justice, no peace! >> reporter: this comes after day of protests around the city. mayor eric adams addressing neely's death. >> when a man is dead. one thing we can say for sure, jordan neely did not deserve to die. >> reporter: penny, seen in this disturbing video from may 1st restraining neely in a chokehold for at least three minutes, as other passengers hold neely down. police say neely was harassing passengers and making threats, but was not physically violent. the 30-year-old was later pronounced dead at the hospital. >> it needs to be made clear that there are consequences when a civilian takes a situation into their own hands and causes a fatality. >> reporter: that second degree
7:13 am
manslaughter charge suggests authorities believe he did not mean to kill neely but acted recklessly by putting him in that chokehold. if convicted he could face up to 15 years in prison. >> all right, stephanie, thank you. george? now to the prime suspect in natalie holloway's disappearance. we're learning details about when jordan van der sloot will be on american soil. >> reporter: sloot's attorney is vowing to keep him in peru, where he is serving a nearly three decades long sentence for murdering another woman. the peruvian ambassador overseeing his extradition telling us it is imminent. this morning officials say jordan van der sloot, the suspect in the disappearance of alabama teen natalie holloway could be extradited from peru to the u.s. within days. >> we are working to do it as soon as possible. we are defining some details of the process.
7:14 am
>> reporter: but van der sloot's attorney said he will fight the transfer today. the u.s. pushing for the move since january and the peruvian ambassador overseeing the extradition telling abc news both countries want him to face justice. >> he has caused a lot of sorrow, not only in the u.s. but also in peru. it's time for him to face, also, the charges he has here in the u.s. >> reporter: holloway vanished in aruba during a school vacation nearly two decades ago. the dutch native currently serving a 28 sentence in peru for murdering another woman, stephanie flores. van der sloot set to be sent to be transported to alabama to face federal extortion garages from 2010 for allegedly demanding $250,000 from holloway's mother in exchange for information on where her daughter may be buried. authorities say van der sloot was the last person to see natalie before she went missing. >> last time i saw her she was
7:15 am
sitting in the sand by the ocean. >> reporter: he spoke to abc news in 2006 and denied killing her. her body was never found. and the ambassador telling abc news that his country and the u.s. are partnering on this extradition and that van der sloot will be transferred from that prison under peruvian security. the ambassador also says once van der sloot faces justice here, he will return to peru to serve out that sentence there. george? >> thanks. michael? now to the major change from the fda about who can donate blood. rhiannon ally is here. good morning. >> reporter: you said it. this is a major change to the rules about who can donate blood. the fda has listed its decades long restrictions on gay and by sexual men. new blood donor eligibility will use a set of individual risk based questions to reduce the risk of accidental hiv infection through blood donation. breaking this down, what it means all donors, regardless of sexual orientation, will be
7:16 am
asked the exact same questions. the restrictions were originally put in place during the height of the aids crisis back in the '80s. in recent years the fda has relaxed the rules but has not lifted them completely. the fda says this move could expand the pool of people eligible to donate blood. the fda has been evaluating this for a long time and says it feels confident that based on the science, this will not adversely affect the safety or the availability of the blood supply. >> all right. thank you, rhiannon. we turn to the nba playoffs and a huge win for the denver nugget, knocking out phoenix to earn a spot in the western conference final. in the east it's going to take a game 7 to decide the outcome. michael, did i do okay? >> you did great. rebecca doing sports.

her fate is now in the hands of the jury. dan abrams is standing by, but first kayna whitworth has the latest. good morning. >> reporter: michael, good morning. her defense team didn't call a single witness to the stand but did argue that she was a good mom, saying everything changed when she met chad. so now the jury has this case, along with 39 separate instructions to go over as they deliberate. this morning a jury of five women and seven men deciding the fate of lori vallow daybell. the so called doomsday mom charged with conspireing to murder two of her children and kill the wife of her new lover and now husband, chad daybell. >> the case is now in your hands. >> reporter: the judge handing over the case after five week of testimony. the state calling more than 60 witnesses. the defense calling none. in closing arguments thursday, lori's team blaming chad, a
7:33 am
doomsday author, for the deaths. >> one year after meeting chad, four people are dead. of the 15,000 texts that you have in evidence, show me one where lori's part of that conspiracy. >> reporter: but the prosecution arguing lori was on a quest for money, power and sex and was willing to remove anyone who got in the way of her relationship with chad, including her own children. >> does a good mom, when the whole world is out looking for your kids, dance and laugh on a beach in hawaii? no. would a good mom abandon her children in the ground and go marry a recent widower? no. you have the evidence. you must convict her. >> reporter: lori's children, 7-year-old jj and 16-year-old tylee, were last seen in september of 2019. now, in newly revealed footage shown in court and obtained by

7:35 am
what they're talking about is what the prosecution doesn't have. that's the sort of argument you can make it in closing argument, as they did, without presenting any of your own witnesses. >> the jury could be back in hour. is that what you expect? >> this is not that hard a case when it comes to the children, i don't think. there is a separate question with regard to the conspiracy of chad's ex-wife. it could be that they are deliberating longer, that they're having some challenges or difficulties with regard to one of the other charges in the case. but, boy, the evidence about lori and the kids is pretty overwhelming. the only question becomes, can they reach an agreement on all of the charges. >> sounds like you don't see a not guilty verdict outcome? >> i don't think a not guilty verdict is an option here. the question is gonna be, is it guilty, possibly a hung jury, and if guilty, exactly what would she be guilty of? i do think that interconnects
7:36 am
with michael's question about the defense here. there isn't much of a defense to present here for her. they're simply saying maybe some other people did it really interestingly. apparently lori got angry. it looked like people inside the court said, when her lawyer started suggesting chad may have been responsible. she is still that tied to him that she got upset when her own lawyer was suggesting that her husband had done it. >> wow. what a strange case. okay. thanks very much. country music star jimmy allen being sued for sexual assault and abuse by his former manager. demarco morgan here with the details. good morning. >> reporter: overnight country star jimmy allen's company dropped him after a sexual assault loss filed by a former manager. a suit allen says there's no truth to whatsoever. ♪ this morning country music star jimmy allen facing explosive allegations from his former manager who filed a suit anonymously. jane doe's filing claims the grammy nominated singer sexually

breast. >> reporter: slashed food is an app that pairs grocery stores looking to sell foods near its expiration date with savvy shoppers. >> prices have been ridiculous. i think one of the biggest things was meat prices for me. i noticed there was a bunch of ground beef on the app. i ended up buying ten packs of ground beef. each pack was three pounds. it was a great price. >> reporter: discounts can be as much as 50% off. you pay in the app and then pick up your food, already bagged up at stores like meyer, stop and shop or giant. right now it's primarily in the northeast and midwest. >> food waste apps are brilliant. it's a win win. the grocery store gets to sell the food and the consumer benefits from lower prices. >> reporter: for danielle freeman, anything to combat the higher price of food helps. >> slash food has led to a lot of savings. i bought creamer, coee n, vegetable i have seen pastries. i have seen desserts.
7:45 am
honestly a wide variety. >> reporter: there are other apps and services like flash foods, too good to go and food for all pair restaurants with deal hunters. don't forget fruit and veggie boxes like imperfect foods that sell healthy edible produce that might just look a little funky. >> the average american wastes $1500 on food they throw away. that's a very meaningful amount of money. >> reporter: the food is often close to the use by date, but for shelf stable items, use by dates are sort of guides. when it comes to meat and produce, you should cook or freeze it quickly. you have to do a little planning to make this work. not like the whole store is on sale. these apps are not available everywhere but they're growing in popularity. misfits markets told me the produce they save from going into the landfill reduces green house gases by over 100,000 tons. that's like taking 25,000 cars
7:46 am
off the road each year. plus 50% off of the items, cha-ching. win-win. >> definitely. that stat up top, 40% of food goes to waste. good to see innovations that will save people money as well. >> indeed. >> becky worley, thank you very much. coming up on gma, spider-man star tom holland getting candid about his mental health and revealing he's been sober for over a year. our play of the day is dancing us into the weekend. you don't want to miss it. s it.
