saw that and how he responded to your questions. >> all right. thanks, guys. thanks for a great discussion and thank you for joining us. i'm on roger casey, cnn news central starts right now a sweeping change in immigration jim policy, new legal protections for half 1 million people standing by for a major announcement from the president wildfires burning across the west now thousands of residents in southern california and new mexico forced to flee their homes as fire crews tried to stop the flames from spreading even further. and breaking news john berman is on cloud nine celtics bringing home a historic championship when cementing their place for the most championship titles. in league history, they have done it hi, i'm sarah said or read john berman, kate bolduan is out this is cnn news central and the breaking news we are popping the cnn news central candy champagne better hope this doesn't explode it till this morning. >> no nba team had 118 championships ever now, the boston celtics are nba champs for the at time no. team has done that ever. now, the celtics have much more of our special live coverage of the 18th banners shortly. but first, let me put this down. we are standing by for president biden to make a major announcement on immigration. he will unveil a sweeping new executive action. the impacts hundreds of thousands of undocumented immigrants. this provides legal for chet protection for about half 1 million spouses of us citizens in roughly 50,000 children it comes just two weeks after a different executive action on immigration severely restricted the asylum process and it comes a little more than a week before the historic presidential debate, right here on cnn. arlette saenz is at the white house this morning with much more on this announcement or let what are we expecting? >> well, john, this really amounts to one of the most expansive immigration policies. president biden will enact during his time in office as he's really strike trying to strike a very careful balance on immigration, which is one of the thorniest political issues he is facing heading into november's election. now this plan would utilize a program known as parole in place, and it would give undocumented spouses and children of us citizens the ability to apply for legal residency in the us without fear of deportation, potentially eventually setting them on a path to citizenship. now, the current system requires that these individuals leave the country in order to apply for this legal residency that takes them away from their families and also raises concerns about whether they would even be allowed back into the country if they were trying to return. so this policy would now change that. it's expected to apply to people who have been living in the us and married to a us citizen since yesterday. this would allow them to work legally in the us. it's estimated that this could impact, as you noted, 500,000 spouses and 50,000 stepchildren of us citizens. and it's expected that this would open up the application process by the end of the summer. now, this policy it's coming just a few weeks after president biden had announced that major crackdown, which essentially shut off the asylum process for migrants crossing into the country illegally. that is something that went into effect right away and really drew a lot of criticism from immigration advocates and progressives the move that president biden is announcing today is one way that he is trying to ease some of their concerns. this is also a plan that could have major impacts in key battleground states like arizona, nevada, and georgia as president biden continues to try to appeal to latino voters, but border security and immigration has really risen among voters concerns heading into the november election, many have said that they have trusted of former president donald trump to handle that issue more than president biden. and so what biden and his team came are trying to do with this policy is one e is the concerns within their own base about how biden has approached immigration. but then they're also trying to point to the fact that they are taking action, whether it's with this expansive plan, whether it's with efforts to try to stem the flow and border crossings at the us mexico border at a time? when republicans had boarded those bipartisan border talks, the president biden really at this moment trying to strike a very careful and delicate balance when it pertains to one of the most complicated issues that space this country now for decades well that science at the white house, we will have much more on this announcement throughout the show. thank you. sarah all right. >> developing this morning, police and tulsa, oklahoma have arrested an undocumented migrant from el salvador in the brutal killing of a maryland mother of five rachel morin was killed along a hiking trail in bel air north of baltimore in august last year, four months police have been searching for her killer friday. this man, victor antonio martinez hernandez, was arrested at a tulsa bar. investigators say he is a suspect, not only in morens murder, he he's also wanted for multiple other crimes here in the united states. and in el salvador as well. cnn's miguel marquez is joining us now with more details. is such a sad story how, how exactly that they catch, how incredibly sad and unbelievable the way they caught him. the dna essentially dna and it tells you all about the science and where it's going with dna. they were able to match dna from a home invasion los angeles and his home country of el salvador help them zero in on 23-year-old victor antonio martinez-hernandez, the fbi, using genetic genealogy based to be identifying family members of the suspect travel till salvador to help identify martinez-hernandez. >> the dna from los angeles scene led them to family members and el salvador and that led them to identify the phi. >> the suspect. now, rachel morin or you mentioned that she was 37-years-old and a mom to five kids. she was raped and killed last august while hiking near her maryland home and harford county. there's just north of baltimore. her mother, patricia attended the press conference announcing the capture of her daughter, killer she was giving up hope that he would ever be found just because i am so grateful that they have brought us to this place because it's some, some of the points during this i didn't think that we were ever going to have an end that it was going to be a cold case. >> so i would like to applaud them so rare for a family member to show up to something like that. >> and then for them to applaud her. now, official say martinez-hernandez crossed into the us illegally in february 2020? d3. he's a suspect of a murder in el salvador in january 2023, and multiple crimes in the us since he crossed here illegally, authorities say he came to the us to try to escape the el salvador murder martinez-hernan dez was arrested at a bar in tulsa, oklahoma and buy their own account officers de they've found the suspect casually sitting at the bar and placed him under arrest. initially, the suspect lied about his true identity and denied any knowledge of the crimes for which he was wanted. martinez-hernandez has waived his right to an extradition hearing, is expected to be moved to maryland in the next couple of weeks to face first-degree rape. and murder charges it is it is such a disturbing story, but the dna in this and how it in a roundabout way finally got to the suspect is quite incredible and they caught this guy who had been all over the country doing all sorts of stuff, like it's and and tracking through el salvador as well. >> just incredible work on the common rest at a bar, no incident unbelievable. all right. thank you so much. miguel is a great story. >> john alright breaking news, a new whistleblower has come forward

forcing around 5,000 residents to evacuate one fires burned through 5,000 acres is 0% contained the other is scorched 2,500 acres. officials say they're now at least 17 large active wildfires in the west with most in california, the largest fire there in los angeles county is now 20% contained in his burn, more than 15,000 acres force thousands to evacuate seen as to toss, you can is near that fire are meteorologist allison chinchar is and the weather center first unit tashi, give us the latest where you are i'm john there's good news for the la county firefighters here in the unincorporated la area. the wind gusts are supposed to die down today to give them better conditions. that is great news because this fire had already burned more than 50 teen thousand acres over the weekend, causing evacuations from hungry valley state park, about 1,200 people evacuated and we are talking about one commercial building destroyed that yesterday, the crews were optimistic that they were able to hold the perimeter, but still keeping an eye out because the high wind gusts can continue ten, you through this afternoon now, up in northern california in wine country, you have the point fire that's about 1,200 acres. that's really not too far away from a lot of vineyards. and the great restaurants and healdsburg in fact, one of our affiliates, their spoke to a caretaker on one vineyard where the fire burned across that property. and he declined to evacuate even though there was an order while the conditions may be improving. here in california, the residents can definitely still feel if they're close to one of these fires, the thickness of the air we can actually sense the dust particles. it's in rotation, it feels like heavy allergies, so the air quality is quite an issue. you mentioned new mexico, the conditions they are today, very severe if we can show you some video, like you said, two fires converging on the village of ruto. so you've got the south fork fire and the salt fire and officials say they're converging like a pair of tongs utilities there have shut down energy, de-energized part of the village of ruto. so that exploded starting yesterday into 3,000 acres. that's the south fork fire. 5,000 residents asked to evacuate, including people on vacation. cnn spoke to someone who was traveling there from oklahoma. she said she felt that smoke and gave her a headache early in the de went back to her rental to pack some things and then got that evacuation order and they are they had to evacuate to roswell first and then are trying to make their way back home to oklahoma. and if you can see the satellite image of the smoke. it's rather dramatic there. we are monitoring the situation in new mexico today to see how that evolves hopefully, those people will stay safe and the fire crews can get some kind of containment there today, john or itasha can for us just north of los angeles and the fire there. thank you so much. let's go to allison chinchar and the weather center. we're looking at some of these images from both new mexico and california. what are they facing right? >> they unfortunate part is the winds that's really been the big component driving both the fire in california as well as the pyres in new mexico. you've got 25 total active wildfires across the country when being the big concern. now note today that we do start to see some improvement across areas of california, especially the latter half of the de and going into wednesday. but new mexico, it's going to be quite a different story. you're still looking at those wind gusts, 30, 40 miles per hour today, and about 20 to 30 miles per hour tomorrow. that's going to be a big concern for the firefighters for this south fork fire still at zero hero containment. they concern is how much improvement can they make in those containment numbers while battling the strong winds at the exact same time that area is part of a good chunk of the state of new mexico that is under that elevated fire risk for today, those strong winds, but also very low humidities and above average temperatures will be a concern in other areas. also, looking at above average temperatures, and that's a pretty wide swath of the country. now, also two, we're keeping an eye on the tropics. this is the system we're talking about potential tropical cyclone one. this is going to be a concern for texas and northern eastern mexico. again, you can see the main system itself is likely going to slide in an across portions of mexico is a tropical storm. but notice you've got those tropical storm warnings newly issued this morning for portions of southern texas. that's because we do still anticipate very strong winds with this, it is forecast to get to tropical storm strength either later today or very early wednesday. but the biggest concern with this one is going to be the potential for flooding. now, it's a two-fold, it's not just the rain, but also the storm surge but look at some of these numbers from houston all the way south, you're talking widespread four to eight inches of rain. some of these spots could pick up more than a foot of rain before this system finally clears because of that, you'd have a moderate risk for excessive rainfall for for houston for today and then wednesday starting to see more of that shift a little bit farther down to the south. but this is talking about that flooding potential. there the other thing to note too is the storm surge that we talked about, the greatest risk there's two to four feet area right here. this does include that area up around houston and especially around galveston. so this is going to be the main concern here. areas a little bit farther east, including port arthur and into louisiana, and then also areas farther down to the south, including corpus christi in brownsville. you're looking at about one to three feet there. so this is also going to be a concern, especially really for about the next 48 to 72 hours, guys. >> right? a lot to watch. allison chinchar. thank you very pretty much for that so incredibly desperate that is how the state department is describing vladimir putin as he makes a rare visit to north korea in search of military support. and this morning, world order has been restored in boston is back on top. the celtics claim their record 18th nba chain campion ship title 18
