12:02 pm
the biden administration now confirming they are preparing to deploy an additional 1,500 troops as early as next week. the migrant crisis is expected to worsen as the trump-era title 42 policy is set to expire. the department of defense saying this about the operation just a short time ago -- >> for 90 days these 1,500 military personnel, who will be sourced from the active duty component, will fill critical capability gaps, such as ground-base detection and monitoring, data entry, and warehouse support until cpb can address these needs through contracted support. >> cnn's rosa flores is live at the border in el paso, texas. i know you've been following this for months and months. you've been there for other surges. are you seeing evidence the biden administration is prepared for this? >> reporter: you know, the biden administration has been preparing for this for more than a year, jessica.
12:03 pm
and they're preparing also for the lifting of title 42 to happen on may 11th. for a surge then, but i don't know what else you can call when you see around me other than a surge. take a look. this is just one alley near downtown el paso when you can see there are hundreds of migrants on both sides of this alley. if you look here to my right, you'll see more migrants. also some portable restrooms. these are some of the services that the city of el paso is providing. as you know, the city of el paso has declared a state of emergency. these are some of the facilities that they're able to provide at this location. one of the things that the city of el paso is very worried about is public safety, security, shelter. of course that's why you see so many migrants and also transportation. just imagine how many seats there are to travel outside of el paso every single day. and all of these individuals that are arriving, all these migrant that are arriving, they can only leave.
12:04 pm
they have only so many seats to depart the city. now the problem with many of these migrants that they're facing right now is they don't have money to exit the city of el paso. and so, they are trying to figure out how to get money. now back to the question about is the biden administration prepared for this. the biden administration has done many things to prepare in this year. a lot of things you can see that they've increased capacity. they increased the number of planes, flights and also ground transportation so they can expel migrants, so they can do something called decompression, a fancy word for moving migrants where their holding capacity sat capacities to areas where there is more space. now they're also doing things, jessica, you really can't see. these are policy changes ahead of the lifting of title 42 on may 11th. here is the short of it. the biden administration has expanded legal pathways for migrants to enter into the country. but here is the caveat.
12:05 pm
they're also built in legal consequences for those who skirt the law, who enter the country illegally, there will be legal consequences. right now, title 42, a lot of people don't realize, when migrants are expelled, very swiftly back to mexico, there is no legal consequence. that stopped on may 11th. that's one of the messages from biden administration, once may 11th is here and title 42 expires, there will be legal consequences for entering the country illegally. jessica? >> that's a key thank right there. rosa flores for us in el paso. thank you so much. jim? right now a manhunt is under way after a third stabbing near the university of california davis campus. all this in just a week. this was the crime scene overnight there. authorities now say a female is in critical condition after being stabbed multiple times. last week two other people were stabbed to death. a 50-year-old man at a nearby central park on thursday and a uc davis student at sycamore
12:06 pm
park on saturday night. police say the suspect is male with long, curly hair around 5'6" to 5'9" tall. at the time he was last seen wearing a black or blue sweatshirt, carrying a brown backpack. police also say, though, it's too early in the investigation to tell if all of these crimes are necessarily connected. sadly, that's not the only manhunt we're following. several are under way across the country as we speak. two escapees from a mississippi jail are still on the run. there were originally four of them. you remember one was caught in texas, another found dead in a burning building after an altercation with police. and in texas, u.s. border control is on the lookout for the man accused of murdering five people in cleveland, texas. three manhunts we're talking about here. cnn security correspondent josh campbell, he's been following this story. so, josh, just to help people keep track. let's talk about the manhunt for the man who is believed to have fled, possibly back to mexico
12:07 pm
after shooting these people, his neighbors, in effect. how are authorities responding to that possibility? right. we know he entered the country four times illegally prior. shows some ability to go back and forth across that border. do they think that's what's happened here? >> reporter: yeah, you're spot on, jim. that is the main concern here. i'm told by law enforcement source that border control officers on both sides of the u.s./mexico border are on alert. they've been briefed on this case. they have the suspect, fran kis koe oropesa's photograph. they're on the look out. we're learning that there were those four separate instances in the past where the suspect made his way to the united states, was deported and then came back. that was in march of 2009, six months later in september he's again deported from the united states. then in january of 2012, he is once again deported in that same year, he's convicted of a dwi and served some amount of jail time. but just some four years later
12:08 pm
he is back in the u.s. and deported again. so gets to what you just said, jim, authorities are so concerned he's adept at making that crossing between mexico and the united states and he is a mexican national who could have a support network there he may have tried to flee after allegedly committing this heinous act. border officials on high alert. the u.s. government is actively messaging to media in mexico about this 80,000 reward for information leading to his apprehension. they're concerned that if people in mexico know where he s they want you to pick up the phone. you could be the collector of an $80,000 reward if you provide that information. finally, back here in the united states, just northeast of houston, in cleveland, where these murders took place, authorities there are still fanning out some 250 law enforcement officers conducting what's called the grid searches. they're basically trying to go, leave no stone unturned for any area where he might have fled to. they're also going, jim, door to door, knocking on doors, asking
12:09 pm
residents, have you seen this person? asking if they have doorbell footage authorities can review to see if they get some glimpse of him. authorities say they're receiving a lot of tips from the public, particularly after that reward was announced. but as of this point, we know of, no credible lead. so authorities are certainly concerned that this very armed and dangerous suspect is still on the loose, jim. >> yeah. that's what you do when you have no leads, you knock on doors. that's three manhunts. you have the one for the cleveland, texas, shooting. you have the one for the stabbings at uc davis and of course the two remaining escapees from that mississippi jail. >> a lot of information to get through. some major investigations under way, let's get perspective now from someone who knows about manhunts. we're joined by andrew mccabe, former deputy director of the fbi, sir. thank you so much for sharing part of your afternoon with us. >> sure. >> let's pick up where josh campbell just left off, francisco oropesa, 38 years old. believed to massacred his neighbors, including an 9-year-old child.
12:10 pm
investigators found a cell phone may have been tied to him. clothes nearby. got tracking dogs on it and then the trail went cold. >> really tough situation, right. so you have attention in what's happening in this search. it's taking place in an incredibly rural area, so -- and officers need to be slow and deliberate in the way they search every facility, every structure, every vehicle that they come across because this is a person we know has taken lives in the past and may still be armed. on the other hand, you have somebody fleeing possibly to get over the international border into mexico. and he's going absolutely as fast as he can. so there's a real -- there's attention in what's happening and officers trying to do this safely but trying to get him before he gets too far in front of them. >> major sense of urgency, seeing the brutal way he murdered those folks. he's obviously armed and dangerous. let's pivot to the uc davis stanstan i stabbings. the profile of the victims are different.
12:11 pm
a 50-year-old man that was initially stabbed. then a younger college student. and now a female. what does that tell you about the mentality behind these attacks, about a potential suspect? >> very different victims, as you mentioned. all in outdoor areas, out too in parks which may have been chosen to avoid potential video surveillance. all those things combined suggest to me, boris, that this is someone who engaged in acts of passion. these don't sound like pre-planned homicides on known victims. but rather somebody who is taking advantage of an opportunity when he sees there's no one around. here is a potential victim. he thinks he can get away with it without being seen, without being witnessed and strikes out. very, very volatile, dangerous situation for that town. >> and obviously officials installed a stay in place order. it led many to think that perhaps they had a location for the suspect zeroed in, but then it was lifted. what do you make of that? >> that's typically what you see when there's a shelter in place.
12:12 pm
that's typically done when we know where an offender is and we expect that person may engage in additional violence. it's not realistic to maintain shelter in place over an entire city for over several days. it suggests they do not know where this person is yet. we don't have the offender or the suspect identified. but it's -- can be very helpful to the investigation in that people out and about who understand what's happening, who maybe heard the description of this -- potential description of this offender, as they see things, they should be calling law enforcement with anything they see -- they feel is suspicious or possibly consistent with that description. >> yeah. especially because as more time passes there is a good chance that the trail gets colder and especially when you consider those two escaped inmates we didn't get to talk about in mississippi, they've been on the run for nearly a week. andy mccabe, always appreciate your perspective. >> thank you. president biden, house speaker mccarthy will meet next week to talk about the debt ceiling as democrats and republicans remain at a

[ camera shutter clicks ] ♪ president biden and house speaken kevin mccarthy are set to meet face to face next week, something they haven't done in months. and the stakes couldn't be higher. treasury secretary janet yellen says the u.s. could run out of cash on june 1st. she says if those two leaders don't raise the debt limit and the u.s. defaults, it would be catastrophic, causing severe hardship to american families. and this would go beyond financial concerns. yellen says it would also raise questions about, quote, our ability to defend our national security interests.
12:18 pm
the thing is, we don't fully know what a u.s. default would entail. it's never happened before. so let's get some perspective now about these potential consequences with cnn's matt egan. matt, catastrophic, is that an accurate assessment of what would happen to the u.s. economy? >> boris, i think it is. the easiest way to spark a financial crisis would be to default on u.s. debt. economists have compared it to financial armageddon. so what does that actually look like? well, it's hard to say for sure, but it's very easy to see why there would be mayhem on markets and wall street because for the longest time, u.s. debt had been treated as safest stuff on the planet. so we could see stocks plunge, interest rates spike. by how much, i don't think anyone actually knows. the u.s. credit rating would likely get downgraded severely. moody's analytics says even just a brief breach of the debt limit would cause a mild recession and nearly a million jobs would get wiped out.
12:19 pm
plus, there's the fact that if the government doesn't have any money, they can't pay the benefits that so many people rely on. you think about social security, medicare, paychecks for military, for federal employees. all this i think explains why senator elizabeth warren, she told me today that congress can't play political games with the debt ceiling. it's just too dangerous. listen to what she had to say. >> we cannot be seen around the world to be a government that maybe will pay our debts and then again maybe we won't. no. people around the world count on the united state's word as its bond. we need the republicans to just raise the debt ceiling. look, if they want to negotiate over spending, bring it on. >> now, republicans, of course, they want to talk about spending right now. clearly the two sides are very far apart. and listen, the clock is ticking just four weeks to get a deal done. >> yeah. the important thing about what warren pointed out is that this
12:20 pm
is essentially about paying money that's already been spent. it's as if you don't pay the light bill in your household, the lights will be turned off. >> exactly. >> so the other question, matt, what can average americans do to try to prepare themselves for a potential default. >> the hard truth is there's really not much you can do. i mean, how do you escape a financial meltdown? how do you avoid a recession? rsm chief economists put it to me this way, a default would directly impact every single household that uses cash to make transactions, that owns a home, a car, has any revolving credit. quote, there's nothing you can do. of course, the risk, though, is that a near default even causes people to get nervous and families and businesses, they pull back on spending. maybe you don't take that trip to disney world that you planned on taking. maybe you don't buy that other car that you planned on purchasing. and all of that, of course, has an economic impact. i think the fear is that even
12:21 pm
just a near default could actually cause the recession that everyone is worried about. >> or potentially as it has in the past, downgrade the u.s.'s standing as a borrower. >> absolutely. >> matthew egoen, thank you so much for that. >> thank you, boris. >> jim? new developments in the seditious conspiracy trial of the five members of the proud boys. today the jurors hinting they could be headed towards a deadlock. we're live in washington covering the trial. i wonder what you heard specifically from the jurors? is that a clear signal they couldn't come to an agreement? and what would that mean with the whole trial? >> reporter: jim, it's at least a hint of something from the jury that maybe they could be in a moment where they're deadlocked on maybe a charge, maybe one of them or two of them. there are ten charges they're considering here, obviously seditious conspiracy is the most serious, but there are other obstruction charges, conspiracy charges, charges about
12:22 pm
assaultassault ing police officers, all five leaders of the proud boys are accused of doing on january 6th or around that day. today in court the jury was very diligent. they asked a question this morning. they asked actually a couple questions, but the main one that consumed much of the court's time today was what to do if the jury can't reach a verdict. there are notes specifically asked, we did not receive instructions on what to do if the jury does not reach unanimity on a charge. how should we proceed in this scenario. so they're asking that question about what to do. and it took the court hours to figure out exactly what to say. this is a court that has been treading very carefully. this trial has gone on for several months, four months or so, really sucked up a lot of resources. the jury has been very diligent in asking questions. they asked other questions about the law, about riot shields. they wanted to see evidence. and now they're suggesting that maybe they can't come to some
12:23 pm
sort of unanimity, but the judge in this case, he talked to the lawyers for some time about what to do, got a little frustrated and ultimately arrived at decision telling them keep at it, try to get to a verdict and we are still going to be waiting. this is day five of deliberations right now. jim? >> this is a big deal, right? it takes it away from just individual instances of wrong doing, significant ones, attacking the police officer, breaking property, illegally entering the capitol building to seditious conspiracy to create, in effect, conspiracy, an organized effort to disrupt the political process. >> reporter: yes. and this is one of the biggest -- this really is the biggest trial that we have seen. it is by far the longest. and the oath keepers, that other right wing group, several of those members of that group, leaders of that fwroup, have gone through the court system and been convicted of seditious conspiracy, but the proud boys, this is a different case in that the leader of the proud boys is
12:24 pm
on trial here. he wasn't even on the grounds on january 6th. and so, what happens here is a big test for the justice department, their january 6th investigation. and a big question for this jury that they're going to have to keep working through. >> katelyn polantz, we know you'll keep on top of it. jessica? coming up, your favorite shows may start airing rereturns. we'll take you to the picket lines of the writer's strike. the autopsy of the murder of cash app founder has been released. details after this break. our dedell technologies advisors can provide you with the tools and expertise you need to bringng out the innovator in you.
