00:00:01.320 --> 00:00:06.879
<v Speaker 1>This is w b Z, Boston's news radio, redefining local news.

2
00:00:09.400 --> 00:00:12.720
<v Speaker 2>Nineteen degrees in Boston at four o'clock. Good afternoon, I'm

3
00:00:12.759 --> 00:00:17.199
<v Speaker 2>Ben Parker. Here's what's happening across the country. Several states

4
00:00:17.239 --> 00:00:21.120
<v Speaker 2>are filing lawsuits against President Trump over his executive order

5
00:00:21.120 --> 00:00:26.000
<v Speaker 2>to end birthright citizenship, including the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. More

6
00:00:26.039 --> 00:00:27.280
<v Speaker 2>from ABC's Alex Stone.

7
00:00:27.320 --> 00:00:30.120
<v Speaker 1>The first line of the Fourteenth Amendment states somebody born

8
00:00:30.160 --> 00:00:32.679
<v Speaker 1>in the United States is a US citizen, and for

9
00:00:32.719 --> 00:00:36.359
<v Speaker 1>that reason. Eighteen states are now suing, arguing President Trump's

10
00:00:36.359 --> 00:00:41.079
<v Speaker 1>executive order is clearly unconstitutional and cannot be enforced. California

11
00:00:41.119 --> 00:00:42.960
<v Speaker 1>Attorney General Rob Bonta.

12
00:00:42.679 --> 00:00:44.240
<v Speaker 2>I have one message for President Trump.

13
00:00:44.399 --> 00:00:45.159
<v Speaker 3>I'll see you in court.

14
00:00:45.240 --> 00:00:47.399
<v Speaker 1>He and other attorney's general are asking a court for

15
00:00:47.479 --> 00:00:50.520
<v Speaker 1>an immediate injunction to prevent the executive order from going

16
00:00:50.560 --> 00:00:51.280
<v Speaker 1>into effect.

17
00:00:51.479 --> 00:00:56.640
<v Speaker 2>Alex Stone, EBC News. Massachusetts Attorney General Andrea Campbell says

18
00:00:56.880 --> 00:00:59.359
<v Speaker 2>birthright citizenship in our country is a guarantee of a

19
00:00:59.439 --> 00:01:03.039
<v Speaker 2>quality or out of a collective fight against depression, slavery

20
00:01:03.479 --> 00:01:07.000
<v Speaker 2>and its devastating harms. Interviews so on hold that the

21
00:01:07.040 --> 00:01:09.519
<v Speaker 2>Mexican border, those waiting at the border to talk with

22
00:01:09.599 --> 00:01:12.519
<v Speaker 2>Customs and Border Protection have no way to schedule a meeting.

23
00:01:12.640 --> 00:01:15.599
<v Speaker 4>Under the Biden administration, of phone app called CBP one

24
00:01:15.680 --> 00:01:18.799
<v Speaker 4>allowed asylum seekers to make appointments with Customs and Border

25
00:01:18.840 --> 00:01:23.159
<v Speaker 4>Protection to begin the legal immigration process. The app has gone.

26
00:01:22.959 --> 00:01:25.079
<v Speaker 2>Dead as of right now. We're in Lingmore.

27
00:01:25.159 --> 00:01:28.959
<v Speaker 4>Pastor Carlos Navarro works with immigrants in Brownsville, Texas. He's

28
00:01:29.000 --> 00:01:31.480
<v Speaker 4>adapting to a new reality under President Trump.

29
00:01:31.640 --> 00:01:34.120
<v Speaker 2>Because we've seen the movie before. I think we can

30
00:01:34.159 --> 00:01:35.799
<v Speaker 2>handle it. We're ready to do it.

31
00:01:35.920 --> 00:01:37.760
<v Speaker 4>Jim Ryan, ABC News Dallas.

32
00:01:38.560 --> 00:01:41.599
<v Speaker 2>One day after the forty seventh president was inaugurated, his

33
00:01:41.680 --> 00:01:44.560
<v Speaker 2>Secretary of State was sworn in, Marco Rubio, taking the

34
00:01:44.599 --> 00:01:45.239
<v Speaker 2>oath of office.

35
00:01:45.239 --> 00:01:47.640
<v Speaker 3>As Rubio gets down to work at the State Department,

36
00:01:47.680 --> 00:01:50.280
<v Speaker 3>many around the world are still reeling from Trump's first

37
00:01:50.280 --> 00:01:53.400
<v Speaker 3>actions in office, like withdrawing from the World Health Organization.

38
00:01:53.640 --> 00:01:56.159
<v Speaker 5>We hope the United States will reconside there.

39
00:01:56.040 --> 00:01:59.799
<v Speaker 3>And Trump suspended US foreign assistance programs until their review.

40
00:02:00.120 --> 00:02:03.439
<v Speaker 2>It's a transformational moment the United States, I think is now,

41
00:02:03.760 --> 00:02:05.879
<v Speaker 2>as President Trump pointed out last night, and I believe

42
00:02:05.920 --> 00:02:07.920
<v Speaker 2>deeply we are headed into a new era that I

43
00:02:07.920 --> 00:02:09.400
<v Speaker 2>think will make the world a safer place.

44
00:02:09.560 --> 00:02:11.960
<v Speaker 3>Any Israelis are hopeful. Who knows, maybe he will be

45
00:02:12.000 --> 00:02:13.680
<v Speaker 3>the one who will bring peace to the Middle East,

46
00:02:13.759 --> 00:02:16.560
<v Speaker 3>not because he likes peace, but because he is a bully,

47
00:02:16.719 --> 00:02:18.560
<v Speaker 3>and maybe in this area that's what we need.

48
00:02:20.319 --> 00:02:25.159
<v Speaker 2>That was CBS's Cammie McCormick reporting. Assistant US Attorney Leah

49
00:02:25.199 --> 00:02:27.719
<v Speaker 2>Foley has been promoted to US Attorney for the District

52
00:02:35.400 --> 00:02:38.000
<v Speaker 2>Folly has also served as Deputy Chief of the Narcotics

53
00:02:38.000 --> 00:02:41.039

54
00:02:41.080 --> 00:02:44.680
<v Speaker 2>Organized Crime and Drug Enforcement Task Force. She was appointed

55
00:02:44.680 --> 00:02:48.599

56
00:02:48.719 --> 00:02:52.280
<v Speaker 2>the honor of a lifetime. Still have the chiles in

57
00:02:52.360 --> 00:02:54.680
<v Speaker 2>the air and we will continue to deal with that.

58

61
00:03:01.879 --> 00:03:04.280
<v Speaker 2>there where we could get in on a few snowflakes

62
00:03:04.439 --> 00:03:06.879
<v Speaker 2>as we head deep into the evening around midnight or

63
00:03:06.960 --> 00:03:09.159
<v Speaker 2>so and keep your right of the sky, otherwise we'll

64
00:03:09.159 --> 00:03:12.120
<v Speaker 2>start to clear out in many other spots, and those

65
00:03:12.159 --> 00:03:15.159

00:03:37.960 --> 00:03:40.759

00:03:40.800 --> 00:03:44.479
<v Speaker 2>about the nick Q. CBS News Boston's Breonna Pitts, how's

75

<v Speaker 5>the nick Q all too well.

80
00:03:57.199 --> 00:03:59.199

00:03:59.240 --> 00:04:01.000
<v Speaker 6>it was for me, yep, more than it was for

82
00:04:01.039 --> 00:04:02.520
<v Speaker 6>the baby, and now than it was for anybody else.

83
00:04:02.560 --> 00:04:03.000
<v Speaker 3>It was for me.

84
00:04:03.159 --> 00:04:07.599
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, definitely, Meghan is talking about the birth of her daughter, Caroline,

85
00:04:07.599 --> 00:04:12.039
<v Speaker 5>who was born prematurely at Selshore Hospital at thirty four weeks.

86
00:04:12.479 --> 00:04:16.759
<v Speaker 5>She weighed just three pounds, and like most families, Meghan

87
00:04:16.839 --> 00:04:21.480
<v Speaker 5>and her husband found themselves completely unprepared, without even one

88
00:04:21.600 --> 00:04:24.519
<v Speaker 5>outfit that would fit their tiny daughter. That is until

89
00:04:24.680 --> 00:04:26.480

<v Speaker 6>was caring for her had actually purchased it with her

92
00:04:30.879 --> 00:04:33.680
<v Speaker 6>own money. Seeing her in clothes made it like humanized

93
00:04:33.720 --> 00:04:35.800
<v Speaker 6>her in some ways for me, and it was really

94
00:04:35.839 --> 00:04:36.480
<v Speaker 6>really healing.
