most migrants if they pass through another country on their way to the u.s once title 42 is gone, border officials are expecting to see a surge in illegal crossings aid workers at the border right now are also worried about the influx many shelters are already at capacity >> some of them have been here for two days some of them have been here for 24 hours, or more. and so we're just concerned that, you know, that there is a risk to their livelihood if they stay here for much longer period of time. >> and u.s. officials are hoping that title 8 lets them quickly process incoming migrants and deport them if they do fail that initial asylum screening >> and brie, how are the border towns preparing for thursday >> well, several texas city, including el paso, laredo, and brownsville have already declared a state of emergency. the federal government is also sending support to the area.

nearly 500 immigration officials have been assigned to help process the expected migrants. the pentagon is also sending 1500 troops to support the border patrol agents so federal, state, and local officials are all bracing for what's to come. >> we've already seen what is now. all right. agree brie jackson for us. brie, thank you. treasury secretary janet yellen double downs on her debt ceiling warnings yellen said the u.s. will be unable to pay its bills as as soon as early june she reiterated that the treasury has been using extraordinary measures to give the country as much runway as possible. without movement from washington lawmakers, yellen says the u.s. is headed toward what she calls an economic calamity president biden has invited party lead precious the house and the senate to the table this week to try and break the imp impasse. that meeting is set for tomorrow, may 9th. at least one republican official in new york is pushing back against the new york city mayor's plan to relocate hundreds of homeless men to the

suburbs. on friday, maisch eric adams announced that the city would be paying for 300 men to be housed at hotels in orange and rockland counties following the announcement, rockland county executive ed day declared a state of emergency to try and block the measure. back in october, adams declared his own state of emergency here in new york city and asked the federal government the send resources to deal with the influx of migrants to the area "the new york times" reports that more than 60,000 migrants have arrived in new york city since last spring. priorities across new york city are calling for criminal charges for the former marine who choked hochmeless man jorda neely to death on the subway his attorneys give his side of the story. emilie ikeda has the latest. >> reporter: outrage over the chokehold death of jordan neely intensifying this weekend. >> say his name! >> reporter: calling for criminal charges in the case and better city support for mental health, protesters clashed with the nypd and spilled on to subway tracks.

a train seen stopped just down the line. >> until we see justice and accountability we will be out here we will be online. >> he was murdered because he was poor he was murdered by the system. >> reporter: the mta called the track takeover which led to more than a dozen arrests saturday dangerous and reckless playing out nearly a week since this minutes' long deadly struggle on the subway the rider holding neely in the chokehold that authorities say killed him was questioned by police but not charged lawyers identifying him as 24-year-old college student and marine veteran daniel penny. they say he, with the help of others, acted to protect themselves, adding he never intended to harm mr. neely and could not have foreseen his untimely death. several 911 callers that day reported neely had been making threats according to a source. the 30-year-old michael jackson impersonator was homeless and struggled with mental illness since his mother's brutal murder in 2007 according to his family's attorney. police say he had 42 prior arrests.

>> even to say who he was as a person and what his history is, it had nothing to do with this incident so what we're asking is why did daniel penny get the benefit of the doubt? we know for a fact that he killed jordan neely. if there is a defense to it, charge him and let him bring that defense >> our thanks to emilie ikeda for that report. in the ukrainian capital of kyiv, five people were injured sunday after a series attacks, including from the wreckage of a fallen drone this comes as russia is upping its strike against ukraine while moscow gears up to celebrate an important anniversary for them for more on this, we go to josh lederman in london josh, what's the latest from the capital city >> the ukrainian armed forces are saying that the damage caused by that drone c came durg a wave of some 35 drones f from

the first time in this war shoot down a hypersonic missile. but it all comes as tensions are really rising ahead of russia's victory day tomorrow a major russian military holiday that takes place every year, that's really an attempt by president putin to galvanize support for the war. we expect to see tanks marching through red square, military parades and cities all across russia as president putin tries to use the language of victory against the nazis in world war ii to justify his invasion of ukraine today, trying to describe it almost as unfinished business, as russia maintaining that it is fighting nazis in ukraine. the ukrainian government, meanwhile, president zelenskyy today declaring it a day of europe tomorrow instead, saying they will not allow anyone to misappropriate the memory of world war to justify this invasion of their country. phillip? >> josh lederman with the latest in the war in ukraine.
