Now, this has been a problem since the beginning of
the Trump administration. They have been so quick to move
people out of the United States, and this time children,
that they try to get around court hearings to address
whether those removals and deportations are lawful, but the judge
acted quickly enough and made it very clear that the
(02:24):
government should not continue to act in this way, that
they should allow the children and the parties representing them
to have a fair hearing in front of the judge
to determine whether this removal of the Guatemalan children is
lawful and what will happen to these children when they're
removed from the United States.
Speaker 2 (02:42):

reason why some women suffer heart attacks and strokes even
when they appear perfectly healthy. There's wbz's Sherry small A.
Speaker 4 (04:30):
New study by Harvard and Mass General finds that hidden
inflammation may put women at risk for heart attacks and strokes,
even if their cholesterol and blood pressure look normal. The
problem is inflammation isn't routinely measured in US screenings, and
there are no outward signs of it, but it can
be detected with a simple inexpensive blood test known as
(04:52):
high sensitivity CRP. In Europe that is standard procedure. The
study says if women at risk were screened and treated
often with Stanton's, thousands of serious cardiovascular events could be prevented.
As one cardiologist put it, doctors can't treat what they
don't measure. The study looked at thirty years of data
from over twelve thousand women. The results are published in
(05:14):
the European Heart Journal. Sherry Small WBZ, Boston's news radio.
