00:00:11.679 --> 00:00:15.080
<v Speaker 2>Pretty clear out there, very cold, but not as cold

3
00:00:15.080 --> 00:00:18.199
<v Speaker 2>as yesterday, with a hide thirty two and our warm

4
00:00:18.239 --> 00:00:22.519
<v Speaker 2>spot right now is twenty five degrees in downtown Boston.

00:00:23.000 --> 00:00:28.000
<v Speaker 2>On Laurie Kirby. Patriots at Jerrell Pepper's leading guilty to

6
00:00:28.199 --> 00:00:32.119
<v Speaker 2>cocaine possession this morning. The cases continue without a finding

7
00:00:32.200 --> 00:00:35.679
<v Speaker 2>for four months, but Peppers still faces several other charges

8
00:00:35.719 --> 00:00:39.079
<v Speaker 2>stemming from allegations he assaulted a woman in his Brain

9
00:00:39.119 --> 00:00:42.920
<v Speaker 2>Tree apartment. The trial was supposed to get under way yesterday,

10
00:00:42.960 --> 00:00:45.439
<v Speaker 2>but then there was a water main break at Quinsy

11
00:00:45.520 --> 00:00:50.759
<v Speaker 2>District Court, delaying it until today. Opening statements are now underway.

12
00:00:51.520 --> 00:00:56.079
<v Speaker 2>President Trump's immigration crackdown is already starting to materialize. The

13
00:00:56.119 --> 00:00:59.520
<v Speaker 2>Pentagon is sending hundreds of troops to the southern border.

14
00:01:00.079 --> 00:01:04.079
<v Speaker 2>Federal prosecutors have been told to investigate cities and towns

15
00:01:04.400 --> 00:01:07.480
<v Speaker 2>that get in the way of the Trump administration's agenda.

16
00:01:07.920 --> 00:01:10.519
<v Speaker 2>The state of Massachusetts has plans of its own, and

17
00:01:10.719 --> 00:01:12.439
<v Speaker 2>WBCs J willetts.

18
00:01:12.000 --> 00:01:15.719
<v Speaker 3>That Governor Healy says Massachusetts is not a sanctuary state

19
00:01:15.760 --> 00:01:19.439
<v Speaker 3>and will not intervene with a nationwide immigration upheaval. That

20
00:01:19.480 --> 00:01:22.480
<v Speaker 3>does not mean, however, that Commonwealth officials are lending a

21
00:01:22.519 --> 00:01:25.439
<v Speaker 3>hand to ICE. In fact, state police are ordered to

22
00:01:25.519 --> 00:01:29.000
<v Speaker 3>only assist with criminal enforcement. At the local level, police

23
00:01:29.000 --> 00:01:31.640
<v Speaker 3>departments are obligated by state law to not do the

24
00:01:31.719 --> 00:01:35.120
<v Speaker 3>job of federal immigration agents for them. In Worsir, the

25
00:01:35.200 --> 00:01:38.719
<v Speaker 3>state's second largest city, public school officials have instructed bus

26
00:01:38.799 --> 00:01:41.359
<v Speaker 3>drivers not to drop off students where they see ICE

27
00:01:41.400 --> 00:01:45.599
<v Speaker 3>agents hanging around. Meantime, federal prosecutors are under direct orders

28
00:01:45.640 --> 00:01:48.799
<v Speaker 3>to investigate any agency that steps in the way of ICE.

00:01:51.680 --> 00:01:54.760
<v Speaker 2>Memal On Capitol Hill, the US House passes a bill

31
00:01:54.879 --> 00:01:58.760
<v Speaker 2>of further the president's immigration agenda. ABC's Rachel Scott.

32
00:01:58.560 --> 00:02:01.640
<v Speaker 4>And Immigrant Detention Bill is now headed to the President's desk.

33
00:02:02.079 --> 00:02:05.200
<v Speaker 4>The Lake and Riley Act passing with some bipartisan support,

34
00:02:05.640 --> 00:02:08.800
<v Speaker 4>marking the first piece of legislation President Donald Trump could

35
00:02:08.919 --> 00:02:11.680
<v Speaker 4>sign into law. The bill, named for the twenty two

36
00:02:11.719 --> 00:02:15.039
<v Speaker 4>year old Georgia nursing student killed by an undocumented migrant,

37
00:02:15.240 --> 00:02:18.599
<v Speaker 4>requires ICE to detain undocumented migrants accused of theft and

38
00:02:18.719 --> 00:02:22.439
<v Speaker 4>violent crimes. The bill would be costly to enforce, ICE

39
00:02:22.560 --> 00:02:25.599
<v Speaker 4>estimates it would cost close to twenty seven billion dollars

40
00:02:25.639 --> 00:02:26.759
<v Speaker 4>in the first year alone.

41
00:02:26.960 --> 00:02:30.360
<v Speaker 2>Forty six House Democrats joined Republicans to push the bill

42
00:02:30.400 --> 00:02:34.000
<v Speaker 2>over the finish line. President Trump promised this week to

43
00:02:34.039 --> 00:02:37.240
<v Speaker 2>reinstate more than eight thousand troops who refused to get

44
00:02:37.280 --> 00:02:40.599
<v Speaker 2>the COVID vaccine and were kicked out of the military.

45
00:02:41.039 --> 00:02:44.080
<v Speaker 2>But a federal judge has just ruled that Boston Medical

46
00:02:44.120 --> 00:02:47.919
<v Speaker 2>Center at every right to fire anito neo natal nurse

47
00:02:47.919 --> 00:02:51.680
<v Speaker 2>who refused to get the COVID shot. Alison Sears, cited

48
00:02:51.719 --> 00:02:53.960
<v Speaker 2>her faith as the reason for not getting the COVID

49
00:02:54.080 --> 00:02:58.000
<v Speaker 2>nineteen vaccine and for refusing to wear a face mask.

50
00:02:58.599 --> 00:03:02.599
<v Speaker 2>In the ruling, the judge determined that the hospital had

51
00:03:02.639 --> 00:03:05.800
<v Speaker 2>no way to safely accommodate her, given that she was

52
00:03:05.840 --> 00:03:11.680
<v Speaker 2>working and caring for premature and extremely ill and vulnerable newborns.

53
00:03:11.879 --> 00:03:14.879
<v Speaker 2>Right now, we're seeing twenties. We're headed for thirty two

54
00:03:15.080 --> 00:03:17.560
<v Speaker 2>for our high to day. We're seeing some nice sunshine,

55
00:03:17.599 --> 00:03:19.120
<v Speaker 2>a little bit of a breeze out there. If you're

56
00:03:19.120 --> 00:03:21.879
<v Speaker 2>on the cape, you might see some snowflakes falling. And

57
00:03:21.919 --> 00:03:26.520
<v Speaker 2>then tonight nineteen in Boston, twelve to sixteen Inland. Tonight

58
00:03:26.599 --> 00:03:29.719
<v Speaker 2>warmer on the Cape and islands. Friday, here we come

59
00:03:29.840 --> 00:03:33.319
<v Speaker 2>some more clouds thirty two, even colder Saturday, but clear,

60
00:03:33.439 --> 00:03:36.759
<v Speaker 2>more sun than anything. And Sunday we will feel so

61
00:03:36.919 --> 00:03:40.240
<v Speaker 2>much warmer with a high of thirty eight. So these

62
00:03:40.319 --> 00:03:44.680
<v Speaker 2>frigid temperatures could mean trouble for your car battery. Wbz's

63
00:03:44.759 --> 00:03:46.000
<v Speaker 2>Jim McKay has more.

64
00:03:46.159 --> 00:03:47.960
<v Speaker 5>When you talk to people in the know at local

65
00:03:48.000 --> 00:03:50.759
<v Speaker 5>auto body shops, this cold weather usually exposed as a

66
00:03:50.800 --> 00:03:53.479
<v Speaker 5>problem you were already putting on the back burner.

67
00:03:53.560 --> 00:03:55.639
<v Speaker 3>Average battery last four to five years.

68
00:03:55.680 --> 00:03:58.680
<v Speaker 5>Stephen Donovan works with General Otto Supply in Marshfield. He

69
00:03:58.719 --> 00:04:01.400
<v Speaker 5>says this time of year most people find out they

70
00:04:01.400 --> 00:04:03.599
<v Speaker 5>should have replaced their battery years ago.

71
00:04:03.800 --> 00:04:06.400
<v Speaker 1>Anything over four years and it's not starting. You know

72
00:04:06.400 --> 00:04:07.800
<v Speaker 1>it's time to replace the battery.

73
00:04:07.840 --> 00:04:10.199
<v Speaker 5>There are some in case of emergency tricks you can

74
00:04:10.240 --> 00:04:13.159
<v Speaker 5>have up your sleeve, a battery booster pack for instance.

75
00:04:13.319 --> 00:04:14.719
<v Speaker 1>It's just like you would jump in a car.

76
00:04:14.919 --> 00:04:16.279
<v Speaker 5>Just got to make sure you're keeping.

77
00:04:16.120 --> 00:04:17.839
<v Speaker 1>Up with it. Like your phone, you gotta keep them shying.

78
00:04:17.959 --> 00:04:20.120
<v Speaker 5>A modern, more efficient way of jumping your car.

79
00:04:20.279 --> 00:04:22.480
<v Speaker 1>You can move it anywhere, which is nice. You don't

80
00:04:22.480 --> 00:04:24.680
<v Speaker 1>have to back the car in and all that fun stuff.

81
00:04:24.759 --> 00:04:27.279
<v Speaker 5>In the end, regular service in battery checks when it's

82
00:04:27.399 --> 00:04:30.800
<v Speaker 5>not below zero is your best bet in Marshfield. Jim

<v Speaker 2>Well, if you ever go to Mount Washington, you know

85
00:04:38.040 --> 00:04:40.680
<v Speaker 2>it's much colder the higher up you go. How about

86
00:04:40.720 --> 00:04:44.560
<v Speaker 2>working there, because these folks, the weather observers who do

87
00:04:45.000 --> 00:04:47.600
<v Speaker 2>work on the top of Mount Washington are reporting it

88
00:04:47.680 --> 00:04:51.759
<v Speaker 2>was twelve below zero yesterday and the blistering when it

89
00:04:51.879 --> 00:04:56.279
<v Speaker 2>reached forty below. Luckily, they're working in a bunker that

90
00:04:56.360 --> 00:05:00.120
<v Speaker 2>can sustain incredible cold weather and three hundred mile for

00:05:11.519 --> 00:05:14.759
<v Speaker 6>The Big Easy is slowly returning back to normal after

95
00:05:15.000 --> 00:05:19.519
<v Speaker 6>record snowfall and historic winter weather of that barrel through

96
00:05:19.920 --> 00:05:22.279
<v Speaker 6>gave the city quite a bit of a challenge in

97
00:05:22.360 --> 00:05:26.319
<v Speaker 6>terms of transportations. We've been seeing snowplows for the first

100
00:05:32.480 --> 00:05:35.800
<v Speaker 6>sheets of ice. We also spoke with some local businesses

101
00:05:36.000 --> 00:05:37.920
