00:00:19.440 --> 00:00:23.399
<v Speaker 3>where President Donald Trump has already signed dozens of executive

6
00:00:23.519 --> 00:00:26.519
<v Speaker 3>arders less than twenty four hours after taking the oath

7
00:00:26.559 --> 00:00:30.399

00:00:30.399 --> 00:00:34.200
<v Speaker 3>Paris Climate Accord and made moves to withdraw from the

9
00:00:34.240 --> 00:00:38.240
<v Speaker 3>World Health Organization as well. He has also declared a

00:00:38.359 --> 00:00:42.520
<v Speaker 3>national emergency at the southern border and pardon more than

00:00:42.560 --> 00:00:47.159
<v Speaker 3>twelve hundred people whose storm he was capital on January sixth,

12
00:00:47.200 --> 00:00:51.000
<v Speaker 3>twenty twenty one. ABC's Mary Bruce has more.

13
00:00:51.039 --> 00:00:55.000
<v Speaker 2>The full, complete and unconditional pardons include the former leader

14
00:00:55.039 --> 00:00:58.159
<v Speaker 2>of the far right group the Proud Boys, Enrique Tarrio,

17
00:01:06.799 --> 00:01:10.400
<v Speaker 2>founder of the Oathkeeper's Militia, sentenced to eighteen years.

18
00:01:10.480 --> 00:01:13.159
<v Speaker 3>About a dozen of the people to receive pardons are

19
00:01:13.280 --> 00:01:18.840
<v Speaker 3>from Massachusetts, and in another executive order, President Trump targets

20
00:01:18.959 --> 00:01:24.680
<v Speaker 3>birthright citizenship. ABC Stephen Portnoy has moremed what exactly that means.

21
00:01:25.040 --> 00:01:28.400
<v Speaker 4>This order says that even if a woman is legally

22
00:01:28.760 --> 00:01:31.400
<v Speaker 4>in the United States here on for example, the visa

23
00:01:31.439 --> 00:01:34.879
<v Speaker 4>waiver program, a tourist visa, a student visa, if she's

24
00:01:34.920 --> 00:01:38.000
<v Speaker 4>pregnant and gives birth here in this country, the baby

25
00:01:38.079 --> 00:01:40.879
<v Speaker 4>that's born here in the US will not be granted

26
00:01:40.879 --> 00:01:45.040
<v Speaker 4>an American passport or citizenship unless the father of the

27
00:01:45.159 --> 00:01:48.680
<v Speaker 4>child happens to be an American citizen or a Green cardholder,

28
00:01:48.680 --> 00:01:50.040
<v Speaker 4>a lawful permanent resident.

29
00:01:50.159 --> 00:01:54.079
<v Speaker 3>The ACLU has already filed a lawsuit to block the order.

30
00:01:54.840 --> 00:01:58.840
<v Speaker 3>President Trump is pledged to conduct the largest mass deportation

31
00:01:59.079 --> 00:02:03.760
<v Speaker 3>in US history. Massachusetts Republicans are now renewing a push

32
00:02:03.840 --> 00:02:08.360
<v Speaker 3>to fortify the power of federalized agents to detain suspects.

33
00:02:08.879 --> 00:02:11.319
<v Speaker 3>It comes as Democrats and Beacon Hill push a bill

34
00:02:11.400 --> 00:02:15.800
<v Speaker 3>to formerly make Massachusetts a sanctuary state. They would like

35
00:02:15.879 --> 00:02:20.479
<v Speaker 3>to forbid state belief sheriffs and local law enforcement from

36
00:02:20.599 --> 00:02:25.479
<v Speaker 3>detaining people on those ice detainers. Senate Minority Leader Bruce

37
00:02:25.520 --> 00:02:28.520
<v Speaker 3>tar tells The Eagle Tribune their counter move is not

38
00:02:28.719 --> 00:02:33.159
<v Speaker 3>meant to help the Trump administration round up undocumented immigrants.

39
00:02:33.479 --> 00:02:37.319
<v Speaker 3>The purpose, he says is to allow eyes to hold

40
00:02:37.360 --> 00:02:42.400
<v Speaker 3>criminal suspects or convicts in this country illegally for up

41
00:02:42.439 --> 00:02:45.800
<v Speaker 3>to twelve hours. And one other GOP bill. There are

42
00:02:45.800 --> 00:02:50.800
<v Speaker 3>two empowers. Actually, one empowers local and state judges to

43
00:02:51.000 --> 00:02:55.039
<v Speaker 3>honor the ice detainers. The second bill, filed by local

44
00:02:55.080 --> 00:02:59.159
<v Speaker 3>GOP lawmakers, would force judges to do so, so it

45
00:02:59.199 --> 00:03:03.000
<v Speaker 3>would not be an obfer. President Trump signs an executive

46
00:03:03.120 --> 00:03:06.800
<v Speaker 3>order on gender identity. From now on, in the eyes

47
00:03:06.840 --> 00:03:10.120
<v Speaker 3>of the federal government, there are only two sexes, male

48
00:03:10.479 --> 00:03:13.960
<v Speaker 3>and female. But that's not the only hard stance the

49
00:03:14.039 --> 00:03:17.439
<v Speaker 3>new president has taken on gender identity. Yeah, this to

50
00:03:17.479 --> 00:03:19.000
<v Speaker 3>say at the Liberty Ball with.

51
00:03:19.039 --> 00:03:22.039
<v Speaker 1>A Party of common sense, you know, we don't want

52
00:03:22.039 --> 00:03:28.879
<v Speaker 1>to have men playing in women's sports. We don't want

53
00:03:28.919 --> 00:03:32.120
<v Speaker 1>to have transgender operations for everyone.

54
00:03:32.319 --> 00:03:34.840
<v Speaker 3>Trump spoke at the second of three inauguration balls he

55
00:03:34.919 --> 00:03:35.960
<v Speaker 3>was scheduled to attend.

57
00:03:37.319 --> 00:03:40.840
<v Speaker 3>Looking at the long haul forecast. There is no letup

58
00:03:40.919 --> 00:03:44.120
<v Speaker 3>in the deep freeze. In fact, the warmest temp I

59
00:03:44.120 --> 00:03:46.560
<v Speaker 3>can see this week will be Friday, when it hits

60
00:03:46.639 --> 00:03:49.159
<v Speaker 3>thirty two. That is it. And if you're on the

61
00:03:49.159 --> 00:03:51.599
<v Speaker 3>cape or the islands, you can have a little bit

62
00:03:51.599 --> 00:03:55.120
<v Speaker 3>of snow after midnight, it's going to be quite cold.

63
00:03:55.159 --> 00:03:57.719
<v Speaker 3>We're going to see some clouds move in this afternoon.

<v Speaker 6>in recent weeks. State public health and environmental health officials

73
00:04:29.879 --> 00:04:34.240
<v Speaker 6>are saying that highly pathogenic avian flu rarely infects humans,

74
00:04:34.439 --> 00:04:37.120
<v Speaker 6>but they are still warning the public to avoid handling

75

<v Speaker 3>The largest teachers union in Massachusetts makes a move to

80
00:04:54.800 --> 00:04:59.279
<v Speaker 3>legalize teachers strikes. The MTA is calling for a mandatory

81
00:04:59.319 --> 00:05:02.839
<v Speaker 3>base salary of seventy thousand dollars for teachers as well,

82
00:05:03.240 --> 00:05:06.879
<v Speaker 3>and fifty five grand for classroom aids. The union is

83
00:05:06.959 --> 00:05:09.319
<v Speaker 3>filing a new bill as well that would add up

84
00:05:09.319 --> 00:05:12.519
<v Speaker 3>to twenty six weeks of paid lead. They believe this

85
00:05:12.600 --> 00:05:16.480
<v Speaker 3>will attract and retain good teachers. Teachers in more than

86
00:05:16.480 --> 00:05:19.800
<v Speaker 3>a half a dozen districts have gone on strike recently

87
