Speaker 1: This is WBZ Boston's news radio, redefining local.

2
00:00:06,320 --> 00:00:14,800
Speaker 2: News in Boston. Right now. It is partly cloudy, forty

3
00:00:14,880 --> 00:00:18,680
Speaker 2: one degrees at eleven o'clock. Good morning, I'm Nicole Davis.

4
00:00:18,680 --> 00:00:22,480
Speaker 2: Here's what's happening. The Trump administration now says the plans

5
00:00:22,480 --> 00:00:25,280
Speaker 2: to fight back against new lawsuits filed over their immigration

6
00:00:25,400 --> 00:00:28,680
Speaker 2: enforcement efforts. One of those lawsuits was filed yesterday by

7
00:00:28,720 --> 00:00:31,440
Speaker 2: the state of Minnesota and the Twin Cities Minneapolis and

8
00:00:31,480 --> 00:00:34,920
Speaker 2: Saint Paul. CBS's Lana Zac has more on the suit,

9
00:00:35,120 --> 00:00:38,839
Speaker 2: which accuses ICE agents of violating residents constitutional rights.

10
00:00:38,920 --> 00:00:41,800
Speaker 3: This is, in essence, a federal invasion of the Twin

11
00:00:41,880 --> 00:00:44,200
Speaker 3: Cities and Minnesota, and it must stop.

12
00:00:44,400 --> 00:00:49,360
Speaker 4: Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison's sued the Trump administration, claiming

13
00:00:49,360 --> 00:00:53,520
Speaker 4: that its deployment of federal agents and officers illegally oversteps

14
00:00:53,560 --> 00:00:58,160
Speaker 4: the state's law enforcement authority quote, endangering the public safety, health,

15
00:00:58,240 --> 00:01:02,920
Speaker 4: and welfare of all Minnesota and provoking protest in the process.

16
00:01:03,080 --> 00:01:06,440
Speaker 2: Another federal lawsuit trying to limit immigration enforcement was filed

17
00:01:06,520 --> 00:01:09,600
Speaker 2: yesterday by the state of Illinois. It asks a judge

18
00:01:09,600 --> 00:01:12,440
Speaker 2: to block the FEDS from carrying out enforcement without quote

19
00:01:12,600 --> 00:01:16,640
Speaker 2: express congressional authorization. This comes as last week's shooting of

20
00:01:16,640 --> 00:01:20,080
Speaker 2: Renee Good in Minneapolis causes upheaval at the Justice Department.

21
00:01:20,240 --> 00:01:23,880
Speaker 5: Six career prosecutors, most of them supervisors in the Civil

22
00:01:23,959 --> 00:01:27,119
Speaker 5: Rights Division of the US Justice Department, have resigned. They

23
00:01:27,240 --> 00:01:30,680
Speaker 5: quit after getting word the DOJ won't open a civil

24
00:01:30,760 --> 00:01:34,200
Speaker 5: rights investigation into the fatal shooting of Renee Good by

25
00:01:34,280 --> 00:01:36,400
Speaker 5: ice agent Jonathan Ross.

26
00:01:36,120 --> 00:01:39,639
Speaker 2: And his CBS's Jim Cursula. Overall, the FBI has seized

27
00:01:39,680 --> 00:01:43,000
Speaker 2: control of the investigation into Good's death and have kept

28
00:01:43,040 --> 00:01:46,920
Speaker 2: local officials in Minnesota and Minneapolis from accessing evidence in

29
00:01:46,959 --> 00:01:50,520
Speaker 2: that case. At eleven oh two, President Trump doubling down

30
00:01:50,520 --> 00:01:52,720
Speaker 2: on his efforts to take control of Greenland, either with

31
00:01:52,800 --> 00:01:57,080
Speaker 2: cash or military force in response by partisan congressional delegation

32
00:01:57,240 --> 00:01:59,800
Speaker 2: is set to go to Copenhagen and showed unity with

33
00:02:00,120 --> 00:02:02,680
Speaker 2: Denmark your CBS's Olivia Rinaldi.

34
00:02:02,760 --> 00:02:06,320
Speaker 6: Trump administration officials are set to meet with Danish officials

35
00:02:06,360 --> 00:02:10,000
Speaker 6: leader this week to talk about potentially acquiring Greenland. That

36
00:02:10,120 --> 00:02:13,000
Speaker 6: meeting has not been officially announced, but this comes after

37
00:02:13,160 --> 00:02:17,760
Speaker 6: Secretary Margo Rubio had brief Congress line potentially purchasing the

38
00:02:17,880 --> 00:02:18,919
Speaker 6: territory of Greenland.

39
00:02:19,040 --> 00:02:21,960
Speaker 2: Danish and Greenlandic leaders say the territory's future has to

40
00:02:22,000 --> 00:02:24,839
Speaker 2: be up to its people, and EU officials say any

41
00:02:24,960 --> 00:02:27,400
Speaker 2: US takeover of the island could be the end of

42
00:02:27,440 --> 00:02:31,120
Speaker 2: the NATO alliance. Now in Washington, lawmakers from both sides

43
00:02:31,120 --> 00:02:33,480
Speaker 2: of the Isle are coming together on a new bill that,

44
00:02:33,560 --> 00:02:36,760
Speaker 2: if passed, would stop the president from invading a NATO ally.

45
00:02:37,120 --> 00:02:40,519
Speaker 2: A Massachusetts lawmaker from Cape cod is leading that charge.

46
00:02:40,560 --> 00:02:43,480
Speaker 2: Born Congressman Bill Keating one of the co sponsors of

47
00:02:43,520 --> 00:02:46,840
Speaker 2: this bill. While the bill doesn't single out any specific country,

48
00:02:46,880 --> 00:02:49,400
Speaker 2: it does come as the President threatens Greenland with that

49
00:02:49,560 --> 00:02:54,040
Speaker 2: US takeover, maintaining its critical for national security concerns. Looking

50
00:02:54,080 --> 00:02:56,919
Speaker 2: at the forecast now, it's a bit unsettled for the

51
00:02:56,960 --> 00:02:59,560
Speaker 2: next couple of days, but for today it's actually looking

52
00:02:59,560 --> 00:03:01,919
Speaker 2: pretty good good. We have plenty of sun out there

53
00:03:02,000 --> 00:03:04,440
Speaker 2: right now, a bit of a breeze from the southwest

54
00:03:04,480 --> 00:03:06,720
Speaker 2: at about five to ten miles an hour. We'll have

55
00:03:06,760 --> 00:03:09,560
Speaker 2: increasing clouds throughout the afternoon and the breeze will pick

56
00:03:09,639 --> 00:03:12,400
Speaker 2: up again. We've got a high year forty five for tonight.

57
00:03:12,520 --> 00:03:15,919
Speaker 2: Mainly cloudy, breezy, maybe the occasional shower and a low

58
00:03:15,960 --> 00:03:19,359
Speaker 2: in the mid thirties, and tomorrow it's again unsettled, could

59
00:03:19,400 --> 00:03:21,040
Speaker 2: have a touch of rain in spots in a high

60
00:03:21,080 --> 00:03:24,359
Speaker 2: year fifty and tomorrow night cloudy with a few showers

61
00:03:24,440 --> 00:03:27,000
Speaker 2: late in a low in the upper thirties. Then on

62
00:03:27,080 --> 00:03:29,760
Speaker 2: Thursday we could see some rain mixing with wet snow,

63
00:03:29,840 --> 00:03:33,079
Speaker 2: but then that'll dry out pretty quickly. It'll become windy

64
00:03:33,120 --> 00:03:35,040
Speaker 2: and turn colder in the afternoon, with a mix of

65
00:03:35,080 --> 00:03:38,200
Speaker 2: sun and clouds. Highs early in the mid forties, temperatures

66
00:03:38,240 --> 00:03:41,920
Speaker 2: falling into the thirties. Right now in Bedford, it's thirty

67
00:03:41,920 --> 00:03:45,280
Speaker 2: eight degrees south of Boston. In Carver, thirty nine west

68
00:03:45,280 --> 00:03:48,640
Speaker 2: of Boston. In Fitchburg, it's thirty six. In Boston at

69
00:03:48,680 --> 00:03:52,080
Speaker 2: eleven oh five, it's sunny and forty one. There are

70
00:03:52,120 --> 00:03:55,119
Speaker 2: still a few holdouts fighting the MBTA Communities Act, which

71
00:03:55,160 --> 00:03:58,160
Speaker 2: requires cities and towns to zone for more multi family housing.

72
00:03:58,640 --> 00:04:00,600
Speaker 2: Wbz's Jimmyckay has update on that.

73
00:04:00,840 --> 00:04:05,160
Speaker 7: A little concerned about bigger developers. You'll hear a lot

74
00:04:05,200 --> 00:04:08,280
Speaker 7: of that here in Halifax, where town residents have rejected

75
00:04:08,280 --> 00:04:12,160
Speaker 7: two multifamily housing zoning proposals over the past two years

76
00:04:12,440 --> 00:04:15,160
Speaker 7: as they remain on compliance with the state's law that

77
00:04:15,280 --> 00:04:19,360
Speaker 7: demands communities served by the MBTA to zone for that

78
00:04:19,600 --> 00:04:23,120
Speaker 7: very housing. Any talk of new construction not what these

79
00:04:23,160 --> 00:04:24,440
Speaker 7: constituents want to hear.

80
00:04:24,640 --> 00:04:25,640
Speaker 3: He's a rule of houses.

81
00:04:25,680 --> 00:04:27,479
Speaker 4: So the last thing you want to hear, I know,

82
00:04:27,520 --> 00:04:28,200
Speaker 4: is more construction.

83
00:04:28,400 --> 00:04:29,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's what worries me.

84
00:04:29,800 --> 00:04:32,400
Speaker 7: Cities and towns who continue to flaunt the law will

85
00:04:32,440 --> 00:04:36,359
Speaker 7: continue to lose out on grant money, which Halifax already has.

86
00:04:36,560 --> 00:04:39,840
Speaker 7: But so far they're showing no signs of dropping their

87
00:04:39,880 --> 00:04:44,560
Speaker 7: fight in Halifax. Jim McKay WBZ Boston's News radio.

90
00:04:50,960 --> 00:04:54,400
Speaker 2: over well with some workers and residents alike. Last week

91
00:04:54,400 --> 00:04:56,680
Speaker 2: we told you about that fiery city council meeting where

92
00:04:56,720 --> 00:04:59,159
Speaker 2: they urged the city to rethink the mayor's move to

93
00:04:59,279 --> 00:05:02,440
Speaker 2: change from our I'm Strong to Kataldo. The city has

94
00:05:02,560 --> 00:05:06,320
Speaker 2: used Armstrong ambulance for twenty five years. Mayor Brianna Lungo

95
00:05:06,440 --> 00:05:08,520
Speaker 2: Cone says they could not come to an agreement on

96
00:05:08,560 --> 00:05:10,799
Speaker 2: a bunch of issues when it comes to a new contract,

97
00:05:11,080 --> 00:05:12,920
Speaker 2: so it's time to move on, and the city has

98
00:05:12,920 --> 00:05:15,720
Speaker 2: made a deal with Kataldo. Another meeting is being held

99
00:05:15,720 --> 00:05:19,560

Speaker 3: offshore wind projects. The Revolution Wind case, the first to

108
00:05:40,800 --> 00:05:43,520
Speaker 3: be decided in the courts, will allow for workers to

109
00:05:43,520 --> 00:05:45,880
Speaker 3: pick up where they left off in the project, which

110
00:05:45,880 --> 00:05:49,280
Speaker 3: is said to be ninety percent complete. The presidential order
