Speaker 2 (00:09):
A few clouds in Boston and sixty three degrees at
six o'clock. Good morning. I'm Charlie Burger on Here's What's happening.
Boston Mayor Michelle Woo speaking out after a federal judge
blocked the Trump administration from retaliating against so called sanctuary
jurisdictions with wbz's Mike Maclin.
Speaker 3 (00:28):
It's exhausting, yes, to have to have the same conversations
over and over again about the lies that have been
put out by the federal government. They are wrong on
the law, they are wrong on safety, and they are
wrong on cities.
Speaker 4 (00:40):
Mayor Michelle Woo says it's a battle that tests both
her patients and energy, but she vows she will not
back down. The mayor reacting to a federal judge's ruling
that blocks President Trump from cutting off federal funding to
so called sanctuary cities, including Boston, that refused to comply
with his administration's crackdown on immigrants.
Speaker 3 (01:00):
This is a city that, for nearly four hundred years,
has refused to back down when we are challenged about
how to take care of our own residents and how
to keep our community safe. We will not bow down
to illegal coercion or unconstitutional.
Speaker 4 (01:15):
Thruds Boston, joining Baltimore, Chicago, and Los Angeles in standing
up to Trump. Mike Michelin WBZ, Boston's news radio.
Speaker 2 (01:24):
Kilmar Abradgo Garcia, and the man mistakenly sent to a
prison in El Salvador in March is now facing deportation
to Uganda unless he agrees to a plead deal, according
to court documents filed by his attorneys. All of this
one day after he was released from criminal custody in
Tennessee and reunited with his family in Maryland if he
(01:45):
sees Catherine Falders.
Speaker 1 (01:46):
The government has accused him of being part of a
human smuggling operation that transports drugs, weapons, and thousands of
undocumented migrants, allegedly including MS thirteen gang members and children
across the country. Brigo Garcia it denies all allegations. His
case became a flashpoint in Trump's aggressive immigration policies after
Abrigo Garcia was mistakenly deported to a notorious prison in
(02:10):
El Salvador. At the time, the President and the White
House adamant he was a gang member.
Speaker 2 (02:14):
Prosecutor say Atbrigo Garcia has until tomorrow to accept the
plea deal. His attorneys declined to say if he is
still considering it. Texas Governor Greg Abbott says he plans
to sign a bill passed by Republicans in both the
state's House and Senate that would redraw congressional maps to
create five new Republican leaning districts. CBS News Texas reporter
(02:38):
Amelia Mugavero the.
Speaker 5 (02:39):
Approval advances the GOP led legislature's efforts to secure up
to five additional US health seats in the upcoming midterm elections.
The plan was proposed by President Donald Trump and prompted
state Democrats to then hold a two week walkout in response.
Speaker 2 (02:54):
Democrats have argued the new map increases Republicans advantage by
unc constitutionally suppressing the vote of black and Latino Texans.
One man dragged from the water with serious injuries off
the coast of Nahanti yesterday. Officials say the man was
riding a SURFBOYD type of toy when he was found
in the water. Someone did get him to shore before
(03:16):
an off duty Cambridge firefighter and a nurse stepped into help.
First responders took over medical care when they arrived at
about three point thirty before transporting the victim to the hospital.
No word on his condition. Let's check the four day
WDVZ at you weather Forecastletroy Thornton tells us. Today it
will be breezy, rather humid, some sun, some clouds, high
(03:37):
close to eighty in Boston, seventies for the Cape, and
tonight partly cloudy, and again the humidity ramps up, more
clouds toward the Cape in the Islands. Got some showers
expected toward dawn as we drop into the mid and
upper sixties. And then tomorrow it's cloudy, it's humid, some showers,
maybe an afternoon thunderstorm mid upper seventies should do it
for Tomorrow. Tuesday looks great, sunny, less human, it is
(04:01):
close to eighty. And then Wednesday sun and clouds in
a high seventy seven. So okay today, ify Tomorrow, Monday,
Tuesday look great and right now in Boston, clouds and
sixty three degrees at six five dining solo might not
help with peace of mind.
Speaker 6 (04:18):
Are you unhappy, lonely or depressed well? According to the
World Happiness Report, it could be because you're eating out
alone too much. Research from the publication suggests the United
States has seen a sharp decline in the happiness category
because we're going overboard with the solo dining. Despite the report,
Andrew says he appreciates a good solo diner.
Speaker 7 (04:38):
Honestly as a bartender and a server. One of my
favorite things is to get a solo diner because generally
they're usually very polite, they're quick to order, they know
what they want, and generally when you engage with them,
they're happy to talk.
Speaker 6 (04:53):
Data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics shows solo dining
has increased by fifty three percent in the last two decades.
And Mia from Boston says she's happy to be a
part of the trend.
Speaker 8 (05:04):

stressful week, stressful day. I call it dating yourself Today.

Has a new bill in California trying to make dining
out safer for those who have severe allergies.
Speaker 8 (05:22):
Seventeen year old Braxton Kimura, who lives in San Jose, California,
is allergic to shellfish, peanuts, and most tree nuts.
Speaker 9 (05:29):
Eating out is definitely really dangerous.
Speaker 6 (05:32):
It's something that I try to avoid, but it's ultimately inevitable.
Speaker 8 (05:35):
State lawmakers are expected to vote on legislation that would
make California the first date to require restaurants to disclose
on their menus whether an item contains any of the
nine most common food allergens milk, eggs, fish, shellfish, tree nuts, peanuts, wheat, sesame,
and soybeans. Matt Sutton of the California Restaurant Association says
it's not practical you.
Speaker 9 (05:56):
Get into a situation where the menu becomes on wheeled
the energy that was incredibly impractical, inexpensive to be constantly
converting menus out with each ingredient shift that may occur,
and the need to do a new allergy notification.
