than 200,000. in new york, the number of busses filled with migrants has nearly tripled in recent days. nearly 600 people are arriving each day. the mayor is now on a four day trip to south and central america to deliver a message. >> we're going to tell them that coming to new york doesn't mean you're going to stay in a five star hotel. it doesn't mean that the mere fact you come here, you automatically are going to be allowed to work. >> the mayor is also pushing to suspend the city's so-called right to shelter law, which mandates new york provide shelter for any homeless person. he says the city simply cannot house the 120,000 migrants who've arrived since last spring. chicago also struggling, bracing for up to two dozen more busses of migrants sent from texas by governor greg abbott. the mayor now planning to visit the border. >> we need to go assess the situation, just like our team has gone to dc. we need better coordination, quite frankly.

>> illinois governor in a letter this week called on president biden to address what he calls a humanitarian crisis, citing the federal government's, quote, lack of intervention and coordination. as for the border wall construction, it's for a limited area in south texas, where about 245,000 migrants have entered this year. there's no timeline yet as to when that construction could start. rhiannon lionel. >> andrea, thank you. a memorial service for longtime us senator dianne feinstein today will no longer be public. officials made the change citing security concerns. feinstein will be laid to rest today after lying in state at san francisco's city hall yesterday. she died friday at the age of 90. >> back in washington, new drama on capitol hill. a new push to punish the man who led the revolt against house speaker kevin mccarthy. this morning, moderate house republicans tell abc news they're pushing to expel florida congressman matt gaetz from the house gop conference and punish the other

republicans who voted to remove kevin mccarthy as speaker. >> matt gaetz just got schooled by aoc and others. he was totally manipulated into doing this. i think there needs to be accountability. >> there needs to be consequences. his gates and seven others provided enough votes to force mccarthy out after the now former speaker worked with democrats to pass a short term spending deal last week, keeping the government open. >> in the meantime, two candidates have already emerged , hoping to replace mccarthy as speaker. majority leader steve scalise throwing his hat in the ring despite undergoing treatment for blood cancer. >> i feel great. i know we have a lot of work to do. >> ohio congressman jim jordan also running for the post. one big issue will the new speaker support more funding for ukraine ? congressman jordan already making it clear where he currently stands on the issue. >> i'm against that. the most pressing issue on americans minds is not ukraine. >> another big issue for the new speaker will be whether to do away with the rule that allows a

single house member to call a vote to remove the speaker. the rule that was used by gates that led to mccarthy's downfall. the house is adjourned until next week with no action expected until wednesday. former president trump returned to florida after sitting through two and a half days of his fraud trial in new york. >> his lawyers filed an appeal with a higher court to dismiss the judge's pretrial ruling that found he committed fraud by inflating the value of his properties. as he left court. trump unleashed new attacks on the judge and the attorney general. >> why attend? because i want to point it out to the press how corrupt it is because nobody else seems to be able to do it. >> i will not sit idly by and allow anyone to subvert the law . and lastly, i will not be bullied. mr. trump is no longer here. the donald trump show is over. this was nothing more than a political stunt. a fund raising stop. >> the state is seeking a $250 million penalty.

allegedly found in his home made headlines. but now there's new information about a deadly car crash. here's abc's derrick dennis this morning. >> the indictment against new jersey senator bob menendez is shedding new light on a deadly car crash involving his now wife. >> if we can clear you from any wrongdoing, i want to get you home and comfortable and not here anymore. in newly released dash cam video, a new jersey police officer is seen speaking with nadine menendez in 2018 after a man named richard coupe was hit by her car as he was walking to his home. >> he jumped on my windshield. >> okay. okay, officers questioned nadine and concluded she was not at fault, saying in the police report that coupe was jaywalking and had darted across traffic. >> surveillance video shows nadine stayed in her car for seven minutes after hitting coupe. >> she never comes to the aid of my client. she doesn't come anywhere near it. in fact, she drives around and avoids him. >> the deadly incident before

nadine and senator menendez were married is alleged to be the foundation for a bribe laid out in a federal indictment against the couple nearly half a million dollars and gold bars were allegedly found in their home. the senator says the cash was for emergency use, but he is not explained the gold. prosecutors said in those charging papers that nadine needed a car so badly after a 2018 accident that senator menendez was willing to suppress an unrelated criminal prosecution for a businessman. in exchange for this mercedes convertible. and authorities claim in the indictment, the senator pressured an unnamed official to favorably resolve the investigation. when asked about the deadly car crash yesterday, senator menendez called it a tragic accident. derrick dennis, abc news, new york. >> derrick, thank you. nadine was released and was apparently not tested for drugs or alcohol as for senator menendez, he is due in court later this month. >> well, coming up, an airbnb nightmare. >> also ahead, one nfl player's
