The efforts to move and process
migrants arriving at the US
Mexico border ahead of the end of Title 42.

It's popular sleep aid,
but are some melatonin dosage
numbers wrong on labels?
We verify. It's Christmas Eve ad
we all have a voice to share,
but not many win the Unicorn Award for
helping sick children with holiday magic.
And San Diego Mayor Todd Gloria
is here to answer your question.
CBS8 News Live at six starts right now.
As more migrants gather at our
border tonight, we're learning
new details about where they'lle
processed once they're on US so.
Good evening and thank you for joining us.
I'm Carlo Chichetto.
I'm Marcella Lee.
This video right here,
taken from our helicopter today,
shows people lined up right along the US
Mexico border waiting to claim asylum.
This is ahead of the expiration
of Title 42 next week.
CBS8 Rocio de la Fey joins us le
from the Otay Mesa Processing cr
with the latest on the efforts o
move and process migrants. So R,
what have you seen down there so far?
Well, this is a temporary proceg
center here in Otame Says you mentioned
this is where a lot of the migrants that
we're seeing arriving at the US Mexico
border are taken to while they wait for
their asylum claims to be proce.
Now we know this is not the only location
that will be tasked with doing .
Earlier today I spoke with an
immigration rights advocate.
He visits the border regularly and he sees
every day what these migrants are going to.
He shared with me what he's seeing so far.
Far and what he expects to see
in the coming days, Video shows
hundreds of migrants currently
lined up West of San Ysidro waig
to claim asylum and enter the U.
These are people who have been
migrating for a long time for a
distance from their home countr.
We have people that are not only from
Central America but from Afghanistan,
from Uzbekistan, people from Afn
countries that are seeking shelter. Pedro
Rios is an immigration rights advocate
who travels to the border frequently.
He speaks to many of the migrants and
gets a sense of what their neede
and what they're confronting is hardship.
The fact that they're staying,
being forced to stay in between
border walls because there isn'n
efficient process to pick them ,
means that they are staying without food.
They're going hungry.
They don't have a lot of water
and they won't have shelter,
Rio says he expects to see more migrants
present themselves at ports of y
as the end of Title 42 approach.
My hope is that Customs and Borr
Protection responds in a way that meets
their basic humanitarian needs while at the
same time respecting the asylum process,
which at this time we don't seet
commitment from the Biden administration.
President Biden is sending 1500
troops to the southwestern bordr
ahead of the expected surge.
Once the pandemic era policy is lifted,
asylum claims will be
processed under Title 8.
But many immigration rights advocates
believe it's the wrong approacho
dealing with The crisis. For me,
does not resonate. It means that
the Biden administration is not
well prepared to administer.
People as they're making asylum claims,
Trios believes Title 8 will plae
more people in removal proceedings and
they'll have a shorter amount of time to
defend their cases against deportation.
Concerning that, there hasn't necessarily
been an effective response by Br
Patrol and by the Biden administration,
a spokesperson with Border Patrl
says there is no single location
responsible for processing migrants and
that migrants will be processed at all
stations within the San Diego sector.
Now when it comes to
processing the migrants,
there are a total of 7 border facility
stations in the San Diego secto,
plus the temporary station,
which is where we're at.
Now back to you,
Rosie. Do you have any idea
yet how big this really is?
How many migrants do officials expect
to enjoying that process and try
to cross the border seeking asy?
Well, the Department of Homeland
Security is preparing for up to
13,000 migrants to cross the bor
per day once Title 42 expires.
And that is expected and schedud
to take place next week on May ,
live from Otay Mesa, Russia.

including full compensation eard
through their last day of work.
I came to see if anyone was

headquarters in Carlsbad.
The front doors locked.
200 people worked out of
this office until today.
The only people we saw here nowk

Just last week,
Jenny Craig's President and CEO

embarking on the next phase of r
business to evolve with the chag

Like many other companies,
we're currently transitioning fa

In San Diego,
Jenny Craig was not just
a successful entrepreneur,
she's been a generous philanthropist.
In the 90s, she donated $10 million to
build the multi use student facy

It's called the Jenny Craig Pavilion.
Incredible history behind it,
that's for sure.
In 2011, Jenny Craig put her personal
Rancho Santa Fe estate up for se
with a 10,000 square foot home.
The property listed for nearly $9 million.
In 2019, HIG Capital bought Jenny Craig.
Today, the Jenny Craig link on G
Capitals website is down and HIG
did not return my calls or emai,

me off camera said last week.
Corporate employees were told
