Boston's News Radio.
Speaker 2 (02:51):
We're dealing with range showers here and they're going to
be sticking around for quite a while, with probably the
entirety of the morning commune really a big band just
hovering a frost southern New England, Massachusetts, all the way
down the Cape into Rhode Island and parts of Connecticut,
where there's some pretty loud thunderstorms actually making their way
east of Hartford. At the moment, we do have a
floodwatch in effect through four o'clock this afternoon for all
(03:14):
areas except the Cape in the Islands, as we'll have
highs closer to seventy degrees later today. It'll be cloudy tonight.
We could have a lingering shower around lows around sixty three. Tomorrow,
we're feeling a bit warmer. We'll have some sunshine in
the afternoon. Can't roll out a shower, thunderstorm, Highs around
eighty degrees, and then it looks like really a pretty
nice weekend here. Seventy five degrees on Saturday up around
(03:37):
seventy seven on Sunday, and we're looking at sunshine with
some clouds, some nice, comfortable conditions as we head towards

six oh six, Well Boston taking center stage in a
high profile court case. We could more from WVZS.

Drew Mohollands, a federal judge in Boston, will hear arguments
regarding the Trump Administration's attempts to require train rans gender,
non binary and intersects people to use passports marked with
their sex assigned at birth.
Speaker 4 (04:05):
At this point, this case has blossomed into a class
action that involves many parties before the court, and the
judge has initially issued a preliminary injunction to say to
the administration, when you issue passports, comply with the prior policies.
Speaker 5 (04:22):
But law professor Lourie Levinson says it appears the Trump
administration has not been doing that to this point. Expect
the White House to appeal whatever the judge does today

Speaker 2 (04:39):
Six oh seven, once again, the Trump administration sharpening its
sites on Harvard, saying it will subpoena the school for
information about their foreign students.
Speaker 1 (04:48):
The Department of Homeland Security says it's tried to do
things the easy way, but Harvard isn't cooperating. The Trump
administration wants information about the school's international students, some of
whom it accuses of advocating for violence on campus. This
comes after pro Palestinian protests erupted on college campuses across
the country last year, including at Harvard. The White House
has tried to take away Harvard's ability to enroll foreign
(05:10):
students altogether, but that move was put on hold by
a federal judge while Harvard sues. Harvard calls the subpoenas
retaliatory and unwarranted, but DHS calls them a warning for
other schools to comply with its demands. Despite not agreeing
with the move, Harvard says it'll continue cooperating with lawful requests.
