Speaker 2: Here's w bz's Jeremy Russ.

Speaker 3: month during a routine appointment as part of the process
Speaker 3: to get a green card. The Department of Homeland Security
Speaker 3: says Zea is in the country illegally, but during a
Speaker 3: visit to the detention center yesterday, Massachusetts Congressman Bill Keating
Speaker 3: said Zia is here illegally and deserves better treatment for
Speaker 3: the risks he took in the battlefield.
Speaker 4: This is nothing but a disgusting betrayal of that promise.
Speaker 4: A promise me to the people that risk their lives
Speaker 4: like Zia. But the promise made to our own troops
Speaker 4: that we would take care of those people that took
Speaker 4: care of them.

Speaker 2: Homeland Security is updating its list of sanctuary cities and
Speaker 2: states they say deliberately refuse to collaborate on ICE rates.
Speaker 2: The state of Massachusetts as a whole is no longer
Speaker 2: on the list. Most of the cities that have been
Speaker 2: listed in Massachusetts are off it now too. The only
Speaker 2: city in the Bay State that's still listed is Boston,
Speaker 2: which is identified as quote deliberately and shamefully obstructing the
Speaker 2: enforcement of federal immigration laws. Now, city law in Boston
Speaker 2: does not completely restrict local assistance with ICE, but it
Speaker 2: does limit that assistance to significant public safety concerns like
Speaker 2: human trafficking. The Kremlin says President Trump and Russian President

Speaker 7: be passed on to consumers for the rest of the afternoon.
