Speaker 1 (01:24):
Meanwhile, three separate major ICE raids in La turned chaotic yesterday.
KABCTV reporter Carlos Granda was in the city's garment district
when a crowd turned against ICE agents in an effort
to prevent them from arresting immigrants.

Speaker 4 (01:39):
Federal agents were inside and that's when a crowd formed outside,
people surrounding the building. After several hours, that's when more
agents came in with armored vehicles and vans to disperse
the crowd. There was pepper spray confrontations, people screaming at
the agents and agents then moving in to keep a
path open to move in several vans into the parking
lot of the building. That's when agents took out those

(01:59):
employees from in side put them in that van. People
were following the agents that were yelling at them, throwing
things at them. That's when we saw the agents throw
out several loud flashbanks to move.

Speaker 1 (02:09):
The crowd and the people that were detained could be
moved out of Los Angeles before the weekend, is over.
It's eleven twenty. A federal judge approves the groundbreaking settlement
worth nearly three billion. The decision could completely change the
landscape of college sports.

Speaker 5 (02:26):
A federal judge has signed off on arguably the biggest
change in the history of college sports, clearing the way
for schools to begin paying their athletes millions of dollars
as soon as next month. US Judge Claudia Wilkin approved
the final proposal that had been hung up on roster limits.
The sweeping terms of the so called House Settlement include
approval for each school to share up to twenty point

(02:48):
five million dollars with athletes over the next year, and
two point seven billion two thousands of former players who
were barred from that revenue four years. I'm gethen coolbox.

Speaker 1 (02:59):
And now the wbz ACU weather forecast. This is a
very familiar side. We're starting the weekend off on this
Saturday with some showers and a thunderstorm in the area.

Speaker 6 (03:09):
Right now.

Speaker 1 (03:10):
We're just deal dealing with some clouds, pockets of fog,
a high around seventy degrees today, a shower in some
spots early, partly to mostly cloudy overnight, with an overnight
low temp of sixty Tomorrow definitely the better pick of
the weekend days. We're going to see somewhat lower humidity,
a mix of sun and cloudshe again around seventy near

(03:30):
the coast, closer to seventy five inland. That's during the daytime.
During the night we do start to see a change up.
There could be a shower or two later Tomorrow night
into Monday morning. The rest of Monday is just going
to be cool with more clouds and sunshine will only
warm up to sixty two degrees. What we're looking at
right now, though, is the radar map. We are seeing

(03:51):
now some widespread rain over northwestern Mass, parts of central
Mass and then some other spotty show in other parts.
Right now, it looks like Lemonster getting clipped Lowells, Lawrence
also seeing some rain. And then where we're really seeing
some very hard downpours is up in New Hampshire. So

(04:13):
anybody coming back down from the Lakes region right now
is going to have to take it slow. There are
some very intense rain showers there right now. It's cloudy
right now in the city sixty four degrees at eleven
oh six. Back to news, a woman who officially says
excuse me. A woman who officials say cost a huge,

(04:35):
huge commotion on a recent Southwest Airlines flight to Phoenix
is now facing charges.

Speaker 6 (04:41):
The court complaint alleges Gendea Brennan attempted to use the
rear exit door of the Southwest Plain mid flight. A
crew member blocked her, but she continued trying to access
the exit door and began screaming. Two retired correctional officers
on board restrained Brennan, but authorities alleged she kicked and
spit and wrist restraints. She's facing up to twenty years

(05:02):
in federal prison if convicted. Michelle Franz and ABC News
tariffs are starting to now hit the airlines, and CBS's
Chris ban Cleeve tells us that means your next flight
could cost more.

Speaker 7 (05:14):
I think we're in this transient moment. We're being cautious.

Speaker 2 (05:17):
Alaska CEO Ben Minicuci last month.

Speaker 7 (05:20):
Does the tariff rhetorick the economic uncertainty?

Speaker 6 (05:24):
Does that make it harder to run your business?

Speaker 7 (05:27):
You know, I think all that uncertainty that's in the market,
you know, businesses are cautious to invest in capital expenditures
and people out there thinking about making a big expension,
whether it's the travel to somewhere or a vacation, are
just being more cautious.
