to this point, and relieve that the Orange Line is
now for the first time, reaching speeds of up to
fifty five miles per hour in spots between the Oak
Grove and Somerville stations. It should be exciting because it

definitely helps other people get somewhere and it makes their
lives much better. With the initial track work starting in

Multiple reports they plans are underway at the Pentagon to
possibly send National Guard troops into Chicago is to address homelessness, crime,
and illegal immigration. The Trump administration has already sent the
Guard into d C for similar reasons, and today we're

More than twenty two hundred National Guard troops in the

others armed with M four rifles, all part of what
President Trump is calling a crackdown on crime in Washington, DC.
This despite violent crime in the district falling to a
thirty year low, down twenty six percent since last year.
Speaker 2 (03:11):
Now is ABC's j O'Brien the President also threatening to
send in the Guard to New York and Baltimore one
of those afternoons where there is a pretty good chance
we could see some showers from time to time, maybe
even a stray thunderstorm. Otherwise, though, it's gonna be nice
and calm out there for most of us. We have
a high near seventy five in Boston, near eighty Inland,
and for tonight it'll turn out clear with a low
(03:33):
near sixty now. For Tomorrow, mostly sunny, breezy, high for
all of us close to eighty. And for Wednesday, more
of the same mix of sun and clouds in a
high in the mid upper seventies. Wash Rinsom. Repeat for Thursday,
mix of sunning clouds, and we've got a high in
the mid seventies right now, seventy two in Worcester, seventy

Some global mail carriers say they are suspending deliveries to
the US as a tax exemption on low value packages
is set to expire in the next few days. Here's
ABC's Perry Russom.
Speaker 1 (04:15):
It starts on Friday. So basically, any package that comes
into the US valued at under eight hundred dollars will
have to go through customs and will have to be
tariff basically taxed. That was waved before under what's called
the Deminimus tariff exemption, but President Trump effectively ended that
after signing executive order last month. Major questions over how
this is going to work, what information is needed for
(04:36):
these packages, as well as who will be the ones
doing the processing on this. So because of all this
gray area right now, these companies have decided to just
hit the pause button, take a step back, wait and
see as more information comes forward in terms of how
this is all going to work.
Speaker 2 (04:49):
And President Trump had already lifted the exemption for packages
from China and Hong Kong. A driver was killed after
a pickup truck crashed into a tree in Raynom last night.

old man and that's who died. We're told a woman
was in the passenger seat and she's in the hospital
with life threatening injuries. Now at this time, the details
around what happened here, it isn't very clear just yet,
but police have confirmed for us that it may have
all started after there was some sort of confrontation at
(05:21):
a dollar tree just right up the road from where
we're standing now.
Speaker 2 (05:25):
A CBS News Boston Samantha Cheney. Police are still looking
into what exactly caused that crash. The fensive order to
stop to all work on an offshore wind project in
Rhode Island or Stead, North America, says it's about eighty
percent done with its Revolution Wind farm. The project has
twenty year power purchase agreements in place to deliver electricity
to Connecticut and Rhode Island, enough to power more than
(05:46):
three hundred and fifty thousand homes, but the Bureau of
Ocean Energy Management now says it's looking into quote concerns
that have arisen over national security protections. ORSTED has sixty
days to respond and many tourists. Some hotspots in the
