00:00:01.320 --> 00:00:08.199
<v Speaker 1>This is WBZ, Boston's news radio, redefining local news.

2
00:00:09.320 --> 00:00:13.199
<v Speaker 2>Mostly cloudy in Boston. It's eleven o'clock, forty six degrees.

3
00:00:13.560 --> 00:00:16.760
<v Speaker 2>Happy Wednesday to you. I'm Nicole Davis, and here's what's

4
00:00:16.760 --> 00:00:19.920
<v Speaker 2>happening starting in New Bedford this hour, where lawyers and

5
00:00:20.000 --> 00:00:23.399
<v Speaker 2>loved ones are speaking out in defense of Juan Francisco Mendez.

6
00:00:23.760 --> 00:00:26.000
<v Speaker 2>He was detained by ICE agents this week, but his

7
00:00:26.039 --> 00:00:29.440
<v Speaker 2>attorney says they got the wrong guy. He's Tammy Mutussa

8
00:00:29.519 --> 00:00:30.679
<v Speaker 2>with CBS News Boston.

9
00:00:30.800 --> 00:00:34.679
<v Speaker 3>They said they were looking for a certain individual by

10
00:00:34.719 --> 00:00:37.759
<v Speaker 3>a different name, and I said, that's not my client.

11
00:00:38.119 --> 00:00:42.280
<v Speaker 3>He said he has prior entries to this country. I said,

12
00:00:42.359 --> 00:00:46.359
<v Speaker 3>that's not true. I know my client's history. That is

13
00:00:46.399 --> 00:00:46.920
<v Speaker 3>not him.

14
00:00:47.079 --> 00:00:50.200
<v Speaker 1>The twenty nine year old has no criminal record. Rather,

15
00:00:50.359 --> 00:00:54.719
<v Speaker 1>he's waiting for his final documentation to solidify his asylum status.

16
00:00:54.880 --> 00:00:57.600
<v Speaker 1>Mighty Lew and their nine year old son are protected

17
00:00:57.880 --> 00:01:02.320
<v Speaker 1>under asylum status after persecut in their home country of Guatemala.

18
00:01:02.439 --> 00:01:06.200
<v Speaker 3>They came to this country to live what they believe

19
00:01:06.400 --> 00:01:10.480
<v Speaker 3>was the American dream to work hard, and all of

20
00:01:10.519 --> 00:01:15.920
<v Speaker 3>their dreams and hard work is now they see for nothing.

21
00:01:16.120 --> 00:01:18.799
<v Speaker 2>All this coming is legal battles unfold over the mistaken

22
00:01:18.840 --> 00:01:21.519
<v Speaker 2>deportation of a man from Maryland. More on that in

23
00:01:21.560 --> 00:01:24.079
<v Speaker 2>a few moments, but first, at eleven oh one, we've

24
00:01:24.159 --> 00:01:28.079
<v Speaker 2>learned a second immigration attorney in Massachusetts has mistakenly been

25
00:01:28.159 --> 00:01:31.439
<v Speaker 2>ordered by ICE to leave the country. East Boston immigration

26
00:01:31.519 --> 00:01:34.959
<v Speaker 2>attorney Carmen Bellow got a letter from Homeland Security, and

27
00:01:35.000 --> 00:01:37.560
<v Speaker 2>in the letter it says she should self deport because

28
00:01:37.560 --> 00:01:40.280
<v Speaker 2>her parole will be terminated in a week now. Bella

29
00:01:40.439 --> 00:01:42.359
<v Speaker 2>was born in the Dominican Republic, but has been a

30
00:01:42.439 --> 00:01:45.480
<v Speaker 2>US citizen since two thousand and seven. Yesterday we told

31
00:01:45.480 --> 00:01:49.599
<v Speaker 2>you about another attorney, Nicole Misharoni, who got the same email. Mischaroni,

32
00:01:49.599 --> 00:01:51.879
<v Speaker 2>though has been here her whole life, she was born

33
00:01:51.879 --> 00:01:55.760
<v Speaker 2>in Massachusetts. In response, Homeland Security confirmed the letters are real,

34
00:01:55.840 --> 00:01:59.079
<v Speaker 2>but saying they might be sent to quote unintended receipents.

35
00:02:00.079 --> 00:02:02.159
<v Speaker 2>End at eleven oh two. Developing this morning.

36
00:02:01.879 --> 00:02:05.239
<v Speaker 3>Today, the Department of Justice is announcing a civil lawsuit

37
00:02:05.400 --> 00:02:07.319
<v Speaker 3>against the main Department of.

38
00:02:07.439 --> 00:02:11.400
<v Speaker 2>Education, Attorney General Pam Bondi, saying Maine is not complying

39
00:02:11.439 --> 00:02:14.719
<v Speaker 2>with a federal push to ban transgender athletes from taking

40
00:02:14.800 --> 00:02:17.280
<v Speaker 2>part in girls' sports. It is the latest move in

41
00:02:17.360 --> 00:02:20.319
<v Speaker 2>weeks of feuding between the White House and Democratic Governor

42
00:02:20.400 --> 00:02:22.919
<v Speaker 2>Janet Mills, and this has led to threats to cut

43
00:02:22.960 --> 00:02:26.039
<v Speaker 2>off crucial federal funds to Maine. During a recent meeting

44
00:02:26.080 --> 00:02:29.800
<v Speaker 2>of governors with the President, Governor Mills was confronted directly

45
00:02:29.840 --> 00:02:32.439
<v Speaker 2>by the President over this, to which she said, quote,

46
00:02:32.599 --> 00:02:35.080
<v Speaker 2>We'll see you in court. She has also called the

47
00:02:35.120 --> 00:02:41.159
<v Speaker 2>attacks against transgender athletes executive overreach. Meantime, overseas, Britain Supreme

48
00:02:41.199 --> 00:02:43.319
<v Speaker 2>Court has issued a landmark ruling on gender.

49
00:02:43.400 --> 00:02:45.800
<v Speaker 4>I'm Vicky Barker in London, where the UK Supreme Court

50
00:02:45.800 --> 00:02:48.159
<v Speaker 4>has just weighed in on a highly contentious issue.

51
00:02:48.319 --> 00:02:52.800
<v Speaker 5>Unanimous decision of this court is that the termswoman and

52
00:02:52.919 --> 00:02:57.199
<v Speaker 5>sex in the Equality Act two thy ten refer to

53
00:02:57.240 --> 00:02:59.759
<v Speaker 5>a biological woman and biological s.

54
00:03:00.199 --> 00:03:02.199
<v Speaker 4>But the justices maybe clear that they ruled on a

55
00:03:02.280 --> 00:03:04.800
<v Speaker 4>very narrow point of law that trans women in the

56
00:03:04.919 --> 00:03:08.080
<v Speaker 4>UK do have and will continue to have multiple legal

57
00:03:08.080 --> 00:03:08.800
<v Speaker 4>protections here.

58
00:03:08.879 --> 00:03:11.639
<v Speaker 2>Advocates say the ruling, though, could have detrimental effects on

59
00:03:11.680 --> 00:03:15.000
<v Speaker 2>the lives of transgender people in the UK. We have

60
00:03:15.080 --> 00:03:17.280
<v Speaker 2>some clouds out there today and it's going to be

61
00:03:17.280 --> 00:03:19.879
<v Speaker 2>a windy day. We're seeing the wind right now from

62
00:03:19.879 --> 00:03:23.319
<v Speaker 2>the west or so about fifteen twenty miles an hour,

63
00:03:23.439 --> 00:03:25.240
<v Speaker 2>So it's one of those days where it's not overly

64
00:03:25.280 --> 00:03:28.240
<v Speaker 2>windy like we had those storms yesterday, but enough to

65
00:03:28.560 --> 00:03:31.199
<v Speaker 2>ruffle things around a little bit. We have temperatures right now,

66
00:03:31.240 --> 00:03:33.439
<v Speaker 2>most of us in the forties, getting up to near

67
00:03:33.520 --> 00:03:36.879
<v Speaker 2>fifty for the high today, some areas north and west

68
00:03:36.960 --> 00:03:40.599
<v Speaker 2>maybe closer to forty five for tonight. Breezy, partly cloudy

69
00:03:40.639 --> 00:03:42.960
<v Speaker 2>early than we clear out completely later on, with a

70
00:03:43.039 --> 00:03:45.280
<v Speaker 2>low in the low to mid thirties if you're north

71
00:03:45.319 --> 00:03:48.039
<v Speaker 2>and west and pushing forty if you're right by the coast.

72
00:03:48.439 --> 00:03:51.639
<v Speaker 2>Plenty of sun. Breezy tomorrow with the high rather than

73
00:03:51.639 --> 00:03:54.719
<v Speaker 2>the mid to upper fifties, some mixing with clouds on Friday,

74
00:03:54.719 --> 00:03:56.919
<v Speaker 2>with the high and the low to mid sixties, a

75
00:03:56.919 --> 00:04:00.199
<v Speaker 2>little bit cooler on the Capan Islands at eleven oh five.

76
00:04:00.280 --> 00:04:02.879
<v Speaker 2>Right now, we're at forty seven in Denvers, forty one

77
00:04:03.039 --> 00:04:05.719
<v Speaker 2>in Worcester, forty eight at the Cape cog Canal, and

78
00:04:05.879 --> 00:04:09.919
<v Speaker 2>in Boston it is cloudy and forty five degrees. Federal

79
00:04:10.039 --> 00:04:12.360
<v Speaker 2>judge given the government two weeks to prove it is

80
00:04:12.439 --> 00:04:15.240
<v Speaker 2>working toward getting a wrongly deported Maryland man back from

81
00:04:15.360 --> 00:04:18.879
<v Speaker 2>L Salvador. Kilmar Brego Garcia has been detained at an

82
00:04:18.879 --> 00:04:22.480
<v Speaker 2>El Salvador Mega prison since last month, despite core order

83
00:04:22.519 --> 00:04:26.160
<v Speaker 2>from twenty nineteen banning him from being deported. Here's ABC's

84
00:04:26.199 --> 00:04:26.800
<v Speaker 2>Rachel Scott.

85
00:04:26.920 --> 00:04:30.600
<v Speaker 6>Judge Poulsenus declaring every day a Brigo Garcia spends in

86
00:04:30.600 --> 00:04:33.639
<v Speaker 6>that prison as a day of further or reparable harm.

87
00:04:33.920 --> 00:04:38.000
<v Speaker 6>Justice Department lawyers insisting the administration is prepared to facilitate

88
00:04:38.000 --> 00:04:41.560
<v Speaker 6>Abrigo Garcia's presence in the United States if he presents

89
00:04:41.600 --> 00:04:44.199
<v Speaker 6>at a port of entry, but they argue they cannot

90
00:04:44.199 --> 00:04:47.480
<v Speaker 6>compel Ol Salvador to release him from prison, even though

91
00:04:47.480 --> 00:04:50.920
<v Speaker 6>the administration is paying El Salvador more than six million

92
00:04:51.000 --> 00:04:53.560
<v Speaker 6>dollars to hold him there, along with more than two

93
00:04:53.639 --> 00:04:57.319
<v Speaker 6>hundred other undocumented immigrants they claim without evidence or members

94
00:04:57.319 --> 00:04:58.800
<v Speaker 6>of violent games and.

95
00:04:58.680 --> 00:05:01.199
<v Speaker 2>In new developments on this this morning. Just a short

96
00:05:01.240 --> 00:05:04.920
<v Speaker 2>time ago, outside the Justice Department, Attorney General Pam Bondi

97
00:05:04.959 --> 00:05:09.360
<v Speaker 2>told reporters that Abrego Garcia is not returning to the country,

98
00:05:09.680 --> 00:05:12.680
<v Speaker 2>continuing to claim he's a member of MS thirteen. Now,

99
00:05:12.720 --> 00:05:15.120
<v Speaker 2>some congressional Democrats say they want to see what's happening

100
00:05:15.160 --> 00:05:18.480
<v Speaker 2>in El Salvador for themselves. Senator Chris van Holland of

101
00:05:18.519 --> 00:05:20.759
<v Speaker 2>Maryland right now is on his way to San Salvador.

102
00:05:20.839 --> 00:05:23.600
<v Speaker 7>The goal of this mission is to let the Trump

103
00:05:23.680 --> 00:05:27.519
<v Speaker 7>administration to let the government of Al Salvador know that

104
00:05:27.600 --> 00:05:32.000
<v Speaker 7>we are going to keep fighting to bring Albrego Garcia home.

105
00:05:32.279 --> 00:05:34.399
<v Speaker 2>Van Holland says he is trying to meet with government

106
00:05:34.439 --> 00:05:37.920
<v Speaker 2>officials in El Salvador and trying to see Abrego Garcia

107
00:05:38.000 --> 00:05:41.199
<v Speaker 2>for himself to check in on his well being. At

108
00:05:41.199 --> 00:05:44.040
<v Speaker 2>eleven oh seven, the book collection at some military libraries

109
00:05:44.120 --> 00:05:45.279
<v Speaker 2>is about to be pared down.

110
00:05:45.480 --> 00:05:47.480
<v Speaker 8>Army and Air Force libraries have been told to go

111
00:05:47.519 --> 00:05:50.480
<v Speaker 8>through their books to find anything related to diversity, equity

112
00:05:50.519 --> 00:05:53.279
<v Speaker 8>and inclusion. That's according to new memos obtained by the

113
00:05:53.319 --> 00:05:56.839
<v Speaker 8>Associated Press. The orders from service leaders come about two

114
00:05:56.839 --> 00:06:00.000
<v Speaker 8>weeks after the US Naval Academy remove nearly four hundred

115
00:06:00.240 --> 00:06:03.199
<v Speaker 8>books from its library after being told to get rid

116
00:06:03.279 --> 00:06:06.959
<v Speaker 8>of those that promote DEI. They included books on the Holocaust,

117
00:06:07.199 --> 00:06:10.360
<v Speaker 8>histories of feminism, civil rights, and racism, as well as

118
00:06:10.399 --> 00:06:14.480
<v Speaker 8>Maya Angelou's famous autobiography I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings.

119
00:06:14.199 --> 00:06:16.079
<v Speaker 2>And by the way quickly as the weather warms up.

120
00:06:16.120 --> 00:06:19.040
<v Speaker 2>It means we're getting back into mosquito season. Officials in

121
00:06:19.079 --> 00:06:21.759
<v Speaker 2>Norfolk County saying that over the next few weeks they're

122
00:06:21.800 --> 00:06:25.560
<v Speaker 2>dropping a chemical called BTI over wetlands and two dozen

123
00:06:25.600 --> 00:06:27.959
<v Speaker 2>cities and towns, which we'll say they're not one hundred

124
00:06:27.959 --> 00:06:29.920
<v Speaker 2>percent sure when they're going to be doing the drops.

125
00:06:30.160 --> 00:06:32.920
<v Speaker 2>It'll take about two days, could happen anytime between now

126
00:06:32.959 --> 00:06:36.360
<v Speaker 2>and the month's end. You are now in the Loup.
