>> we know with near certainty this was not an accident. this was a planned event. >> reporter: the department of corrections saves both meade and umphenour are known members of the aryan knights prison gang, a white supremacist group formed in idaho's prison system in the '90s. at one point, they were both in prison together. >> this isn't your average inmates who just jumped over a wall and are running. these guys have lots of help. >> reporter: former fbi agent greg rogers as he doesn't think they acted alone. >> they are going to find out other members of the gang inside the prison were having contact with people on the outside and arranged, you know, times and dates and things like that. >> reporter: now, the arrest just happened, and police are still questioning the two men in twin falls. both men will soon be facing even more charges that could now include murder. jericka? >> jericka: wow. carter evans, thank you pure now to that antitrust lawsuit against apple.

the second largest company in the u.s. and the world. its stock fell 4% today after the justice department accused the tech giant of hurting consumers by creating a monopoly in the smartphone market. cbs news senior business and technical correspondent jo ling kent has more on what this could mean for iphone users. >> reporter: the justice department says iphone is running an iphone monopoly. >> consumer should not have to pay higher prices because companies break the law. >> reporter: the doj alleges apple, worth $2.7 trillion, unfairly tries to keep users hooked on iphones and charges high fees from app developers, costing consumers money. >> developers, artists, content creators are paying hefty fees. banks and credit unions are now paying new credit card fees. these fees will cost the economy, the u.s. economy, billions of dollars. >> reporter: apple denies the allegations and says a victory

for the government would also set a dangerous precedent, empowering government to take a heavy hand in designing people's technology. the doj specifically calls out apple for allegedly boxing out other companies' devices to help keep track of items like keys, to give an edge to its own airtag. and for allowing lower quality text messages between iphone and android users, creating what many call the blue and green bubble divide. experts say this lawsuit will take years. what will change for an iphone user, now that this lawsuit has been filed? >> in the immediate future, nothing is going to change, right? these antitrust lawsuits are really complicated. but if the government is successful here, we could end up in a world where the iphone is a much more open device that plays better with the rest of the tech industry and the rest of the world. >> reporter: and tonight, the feeling inside apple's cupertino headquarters is to fight back hard against what they are calling a misguided assault, and

the justice department says, if left unchallenged, apple will continue to strengthen its monopoly. safe to say both sides are ready for a major showdown in court. jericka? >> jericka: that's right, jo ling, sounds like it is only the beginning. thank you. turning to the weather where the first days of spring are feeling more like winter, parts of maine getting up to a foot of snow in the past 24 hours. the midwest is also bracing for a blast of snow from the dakotas to michigan. for more on that, let's bring in our meteorologist mike bettes, from our partners at the weather channel. good evening, mike. >> jericka, good evening. yes, it is spring, but our northern states, almost every single one of them expecting snow over the next several days. first one comes in tonight and tomorrow, put down a swath of snow through the upper midwest, places like milwaukee could be looking at 3-5 inches of snow. then eventually that system gets its act together across the northeast, could produce significant snow here and significant wind, as well. coastal flooding could be an issue as that system moves by, but look at some of the totals here, especially into the

mountains. a foot and a half to two feet of snow is on the way. oh, and then there is another one that comes in beginning sunday, and may not wrap up until tuesday. a big bull's-eye around central minnesota, and with a foot to a foot and half of snow in the forecast, jericka, a place like minneapolis could see its biggest know of the season, eclipsing what it has had for all of winter. >> jericka: all right, mike, thank you. we are learning new details tonight about the steps the new york attorney general has taken toward seizing former president donald trump's property. now this could happen if he fails to come up with that court ordered payment of $464 million in his civil fraud case. when it comes to the campaign trail, however, the polls suggest a close race. but i cbs's robert costa reports, the race for campaign cash, right now, is no contest. >> reporter: president biden touching down in houston today as his campaign fundraising takes off. with three donor gatherings in two days, the democratic money machine is expected to bring in

another $7 million. and biden is courting high-profile donors, like billionaire businessman mark cuban. [applause] >> lets beat him again. >> reporter: heading into march, biden's campaign had $71 million on hand. more than double the $33 million in trump's campaign account. and the president's affiliated political committees have outraised trump's network by double digits. >> there's only about six or seven states that are going to determine the outcome of the selection. >> reporter: biden launched a $30 million ad campaign in key battleground states. with plans to open more than 100 field offices. >> but i'd like to take the cash away so i can use it on the campaign. >> reporter: trump meanwhile has been forced to spend nearly $9 million on legal bills so far this year. that follows nearly $50 million last year. and the former president is now saying he can't secure the $464 million bond he needs to comply. with the recent civil fraud ruling in new york, putting a long list of his prized

properties at risk. >> i have some of the greatest assets in the world, and this is a rigged trial. >> reporter: former federal prosecutor renato mariotti says is a possible trump did not plan ahead for such a ruling in a state favor, or for such a staggering penalty. >> so it is possible, i suppose, that he didn't plan for this at all. the other possibility is that he is not nearly as wealthy as he suggested that he is. >> rporter: trump today lashed out at new york attorney general letitia james, who filed a judgment from a trial in westchester county, where his golf resort and seven springs estate are located, a sign that she may be planning. and another development today, manhattan district attorney alvin bragg push for trump's criminal hush money trial to begin as soon as possible in mid-april. and if the judge agrees, sources tell me it could rattle the race, forcing trump off the trail for weeks in the spring to sit in a courtroom. jericka? >> jericka: all right, robert costa, thank you. well, a chaotic scene today at

the border in el paso. video shared by "the new york post" as a group of migrants pushing past texas national guard troops and rushing through a razor wire fence. in an exclusive interview with cbs news border patrol chief jason owen says the u.s. needs tougher policies to deter illegal crossings. choose to come between the ports of entry. we need to take that off the table and make sure everybody is coming through the front door, through the port of entry. >> jericka: texas governor greg abbott says authorities quickly regained control and reinforce the barrier. well, more americans today escaped by helicopter from the gang violence and political turmoil in haiti. cbs's manuel bojorquez was at the airport in neighboring dominican republic when the americans got out. >> reporter: more neighborhoods in port-au-prince are falling under the gang's reign of terror. gunmen roam freely, killing, kidnapping, and looting as they go. they shot him dead, this man

says, "and then they burned his body." the chaos compounded by armed vigilantes around the capital, fighting back to protect their neighborhoods. thousands are desperate to flee, trying to get out anyway they can. today, a u.s. government helicopter again braved the dangerous conditions, flying citizen stuck in port-au-prince to the neighboring dominican republic. nearly 1600 passport holders have registered for help, but only roughly 30 a day can be rescued this way, as long as it's safe. and here they come. officials on the ground tell us it is a group of more than a dozen u.s. citizens were able to board that helicopter in port-au-prince, and they have arrived here in santo domingo just before 1:00 p.m. from here they will be processed through customs, and then they have the option of remaining in this country are trying to get a commercial flight to the united states. >> they had this guy yesterday that burned on a motorcycle. >> reporter: katianikicha remedor, wristband identifying her as an american, is trying to make her way home

to her two children in orlando. her husband, who is not a u.s. citizen, had to stay behind. >> had one of my cousin, the gunmen just went to their house and asked her to leave her house. >> reporter: they just kicked her out of the house like that? >> and they just take everything. >> reporter: this afternoon from another charter flight from cap-haitien arrived in miami, carrying 60 u.s. citizens. >> it was very caring no max carey. there is not a lot of food. >> reporter: a second evacuation flight landed here in santo domingo this afternoon. as for haiti, with no elected leader in charge, gang leaders have tried to insert themselves into the process of forming a new government, slowing down the process and threatening even more violence. jericka? >> jericka: manuel bojorquez, thank you. the network that links dmv's across this country were hit by a computer outage today. this caused delays for people trying to get drivers licenses and vehicle titles. in some places, including illinois, appointments had to be rescheduled. it's not clear yet what caused

the problem. now to a sports betting scandal involving major league baseball's biggest star, shohei ohtani of the los angeles dodgers. the team fired otani's longtime friend and interpreter yesterday over allegations that he stole millions of dollars to pay off his gambling debts. cbs's adam yamaguchi has details tonight on those allegations. >> reporter: this is shohei ohtani and his interpreter, ippei mizuhara come in the ninth inning of wednesday season opener. no sign at all that in 38 and minutes mizuhara's world would cave in. confess he had lost millions of dollars in common. sports betting is lee illegal in california. >> ohtani finds a base hit to right field! >> reporter: soon after the teams win, the l.a. dodgers fired , who has been signed with ohtani for six years, from when the megastar first signed with the angels. >> and really didn't know my grateful. >> reporter: he joined the dodgers after signing the richest baseball contract in history. $700 million. >> had to choose one team and

the dodgers were my choice. >> reporter: espn reported that mizuhara told them ohtani was aware of the gambling debts and help him out and then recanted, claiming ohtani knew nothing about the gambling losses. >> that is a big mystery right now. why did mizuhara first say that ohtani covered his gambling debts, knowingly, and then backtracked that and say that ohtani had no idea? >> reporter: the "l.a. times" was the first to report that the l.a. dodgers fired , with ohtani's rep saying he was the victim of a massive theft. mizuhara was more than just an interpreter for shohei ohtani. what was that relationship? >> this was not just a professional relationship, this was something that goes deeper than that. that is why, if the allegations are true about mizuhara engaging in this "massive theft" as ohtani's representatives allege, it is a betrayal. >> reporter: now, if, in fact, ohtani was the victim of massive theft, it could lead to criminal charges against mizuhara.

all of these questions, though, cast a shadow over the dodgers and its star player, and the season is just now getting started. jericka >> jericka: adam yamaguchi for us tonight, thank you. well, a hot air balloon carrying passengers plunges to the ground after hitting power lines. we'll have the details next. ♪ ♪ but my time to enjoy it. but now, i can open up my world with vabysmo.
