And six,
good morning, everyone. So glad
you're with us. I'm Eric Connor,
and I'm not at Iran point.
Yeah, thank you for being with us here.
If you're still struggling righw
with the economic fallout from Kovan,
you can actually start applying for $4000.
And that application process starts today.
San Diego County approved this
program to help low income fami,
seniors and adults still dealing
with economic hardships from CO.
CBS8's Dana Marie Mcnichol
joining us live from the County
Administration building to expln
who's eligible to apply for thi.
Well, good morning, Erica.
Net, I know this $4000 could really be
very beneficial for so many fams
who are continuing to struggle.
Now this is called the Recovery Action
Fund for tomorrow, also known as raft,
created by the Jewish Family Service.
Now in order to be eligible,
you can apply as a single
person or a family of four. But.
Both have to earn less than 200%
of the federal poverty level,
meaning a single person must mae
$29,000 a year and a family of
four must make $60,000 a year.
Now those who receive the $4000 allocation
can use them however they see f,
whatever they need help with,
whether that's rent money.
Tuition for school.
The money can be electronically transferred
directly into someone's bank account, Venmo,
PayPal accounts or gig work platforms.
Now family and people single pee
can apply for the funds starting
today through Sunday,
May 21st.
Now,
officials say that they will be
selected randomly from a pool of
applicants by the Jewish Family
Service to receive the money.
We spoke to them about the deta.
Take a listen.
Be able to reach about 2250 families with
one time payments of $4000 each
and this allocation would go tow
income families or single people in the
39 zip codes here in San Diego County.
If you'd like to apply, head to cbs8.com.
We have a link to Jewish Family
Service on there so you can
get all the information again.
Applications open today until May 21st.
Dana Marie, Make Nickel coming to you live
from the county administration building
dinner. Thank you. It's been a e
making local headlines for over 2 years.
Now we're talking about the disappearance
of Chula Vista mother Maya Mili.
Now today there's going to be
a hearing in the guardianship
case of her three children.
It's all set to take place pretty soon here.
CBS8's Chris Grow live outside e
Hall of Justice and the hearing
will take place in a couple hou.
What are some of the details, C?
Yeah, we're just under 3 hours
array right now from this heari.
It's a free trial readiness conference.
So this is likely going to be the case
where both sides present facts to the
judge and they decide whether or not to
move forward with a trial start date,
whether or not they are essentially ready.
To begin this guardianship trial
now we have two parties that hae
petitioned for the guardianshipf
the three children that were shd
there by Larry Milliete and May.
Milliete and the first petitioner would
be the one that was filed by his parents,
filed by Larry's parents,
the other by Maya sister Marty Chris,
now currently.
But children are actually in the
custody of a court appointed
guardian and Larry's murder tril
is scheduled to begin in the fa.
But in the meantime he is in ja.
So we have of course been waiting to find
out what will happen to the children.
That's one of been been one of
the biggest questions that we've
received from followers of this case,
wanting to know the status and as well
as just how those three children are doing.
Now of course,
Larry is accused of murdering his wife Maya,
who has been missing since January of 2021.
It's been a really.
Hard series of events here since that
date of January of 2021 for the family.
In fact,
here is my sister,
just who we spoke to last week.
Take a listen.
It is not at all surprising thae
court's initial inclination in n
emergency setting is to just maintain
the status quo as it exists tod.

And of course, we will have
the latest from this hearing.
Eric and Metta. All right,
Chris, thank you for that. And
now turning to another
major headline here, U.S.
officials preparing for a
surge of migrants that we're
already seeing at the border.
There's bipartisan concern that
the country is not ready to
handle what's been happening.
As migrants are gathering
at the US Mexican border,
lawmakers from both parties are
sounding the alarm the rise.
And people seeking to get into
the US comes in anticipation of
Thursday's expiration of Title .
the US government ruled that end
border officers to expeditiously expel
migrants during the COVID pande.
The Department of Homeland Secuy
has repeatedly stressed the soun
border is sealed and is giving r
warning to those trying to come across.
And now House Republicans are st
to vote this Thursday on a bordr
security package to succeed at Title 42.
So once Title 42 ends.
They may vote for HR too.
So this codifies some of the programs
from the Trump administration,
including the major 1 the
Remain in Mexico policy,
which says migrants have to
stay in Mexico as they wait to
go through the asylum process.
If that passes, it's not expecto
get through the Democraticled Senate.
And now let's show you what's going on
in this border city in Texas, El Paso,
under a state of emergency right now.
Our partners are CBS affiliate
there in Texas saying they're
seeing around the same amount of
people that we are seeing in the
San Ysidro area and in Tijuana.
However,
shelters there in El Paso are at capacity,
forcing many migrants to have
to sleep on those streets.
San Diego has a yet to see a
similar situation closer to hom.
Tijuana has more than three dozen shelters,
which may explain in part
why migrants are staying in
Mexico and not being sent here.
As we take a look outside
here on this Monday,
looking like it's going to be a pretty
comfortable day out there so far, yeah,
we're starting it off really ni.
I mean take a look outside dense
marine layer, which is a bit ofa
difference compared to say whate
saw over the course of the week,
Beautiful weekend out there.
Temperatures were comfortable
but not above average.
Friday and Saturday we were
below average along the coast.
Sunday yesterday we matched ave,
so no portion of the weekend wan
the above average range even wih
our afternoon night temperature.
Still feeling very nice out the.
A lot of sun beaming down on us.
Today is going to be a day where
temperatures are likely going to peak
in the mid 60s along the coastl,
upper 60s inland,
patchy clouds to kick off the morning.
By the late morning, early afternoon,
we'll get a lot more sunshine ie
forecast. So here's Otay Mounta.
I mean,
all morning long we've watched s
those clouds spread all the way to the
western slopes of the mountain .
Indicating that that cloud layes
quite dense to kick off the day.
Sunrise was at 5:55,
so just beyond 10 minutes ago.
Sunsets going to come tonight at
7:35 PM and you can see what the
temperatures look like along the coastline.
For this afternoon,
this is the warmest we'll see this afternoon,
71 for Santee and El Cajon.
So still very,
very nice out there, 68 in La M,
66 in San Diego.
We look at the coastline to norh
county and you can see mostly
along the coast the low to mid s
and then you start to move inlad
and we climb to the upper.
60s Fallbrook, Vista,
San Marcos and Rancho Bernardo,
all peaking at 68 degrees for
this afternoon and the sun beamg
down on us after those clouds pl
back mountains are comfortable.
Sixties 80s near 90 for Borrego Springs.
And Octio Wells,
as your forecast high comes arod
the first half of the week invos
the through of low pressure thas
going to increase our cloud layr
for tomorrow morning and Wednes.
Wednesday is our best opportuniy
for maybe a few sprinkles out t.
So some light rain with that dee
marine layer and the coolest of temperatures.
But beyond Wednesday that throuh
clears out to the east center Re
of high pressure builds in its place.
We start to see those temperatus
climb by the end of this week,
right in time for your Mother's Day weekend.
So a very comfortable Mother's y
weekend is what we're expecting
walking out the door right now 52 in.
Side 53 in Encinitas, 56 in El Cajon.
If you've started to feel that
these temperatures to kick off r
Monday morning are a bit warmern
where they were yesterday morni,
well, you are correct.
Those dense clouds are helping to hold
in some of the warmth from yesterday.
And in turn,
Ramona is 10 degrees warmer
right now than 24 hours ago,
along with Alpine 9 degrees
warmer in El Cajon,
4 degrees warmer in Del Mar.
So most of our temperatures to kick off
this morning are just slightly warmer
than yesterday because of those clouds.
And that indicates that it coule
some time that a couple hours be
we'll start to move toward a lot
more of those sunny skies that e
saw over the course of the week.
Let's take a look at traffic and
we're going to check in on your
border wait times to do so.
So from the CBP website,
take a look at what those
wait times are looking like.
