News fifty eight degrees in Boston at four o'clock. Good afternoon, I'm Ben Parker. Here's what's happening. A lawsuit's been filed although the Trump administration's deportation of more than two hundred Venezuelan immigrants to El Salvador, even as a federal judge in order to pause on deportations. CBS's Matt pipe Per tells US plaintiffs for asking a federal judge to force officials will explain under oath whether they violated that court order.
The White House says it is wholly confident of winning in court after a judge ordered a hearing over the deportation of alleged members of a Venezuelan gang under wartime legislation. Press Secretary Caroline.
Levitt all of the planes subject to the written order of this judge departed US soil US territory before the judge's written order.
But there was also a verbal order from that DC federal judge for any planes to turn around.
There's actually questions about whether a verbal order carries the same weight.
Matt Piper's CBS News the White House is responding to President Trump's claims former President Biden's pardons aren't final.
President Trump says the pardons for members of the January sixth Committee and others were void, vacant, and of no future force of effect. This is White House Press Secretary Carolyn Levit.
The President was raising the point that did the President even know about these pardons? Was his legal signature used without his consent or knowledge?
The President says the pardons don't count because President Biden used an auto pande device commonly used by presidents to reproduce signatures. Getting ready to talk, President Trump says he'll speak this week with Russian President Vladimir Putin about the ongoing negotiations with Ukraine.
President Trump told reporters on Air Force One late Sunday night he'll speak to Russian President Vladimir Putin on Tuesday. As his administration pushes for a ceasefire in Russia's war in Ukraine.
I want to see who can bring that word to an end.
Maybe we can, maybe we can't, but I think we have murder chains.
President Trump indicated that discussions around land concessions and power plants were on the negotiating table. As well as dividing up assets between the two countries.
A lot of worksmen down over the weekend.

A doctor from Lennon living in Rhode Island who arrived at Logan Airport last week and was deported, has sat a federal court hearing on her status. Schedule for this morning continued until next week. That's to give her attorney additional time to prepare. According to The Globe, prosecutors say the doctor had photos of Hesbllah and Iranian leaders on her phone and was questioned about the photos after arriving in Boston. Border Patrol says they found quote her true
intentions in the United States could not be determined. The Healy administration announcing just over two million dollars in grants to support seventeen projects focused on restoring rivers and wetlands across Massachusetts. The projects aimed at helping to strengthen resilience to climate change, reduce flood risks, improve water quality and public safety, and restore wildlife habitat. The state's Energy and Environmental Secretary, Rebecca Tepper, says restoring nature saves money and
protects our communities. Says for every dollar spent on wetland restoration, more than seven dollars is saved on disaster recovery costs. These projects were selected through a competitive projects process, and the projects will provide significant ecological, social, and economic benefits to the state. They say, if you're rid along the four ninety five corridor here, say out toward Route two, or out in the Framingham Stretch, even up into parts
of the Merrimack Valley. We do still have some rain and showers. They are in various intensities, but nothing superbly heavy that is reserved for Nantucket right now. In fact, the island is picking up some pretty heavy downpours, has been for a while, so I wouldn't be surprised if there were some flooding drainage issues on the island. Still a little rain coming down across the south coast, over to New Bedford, over to the Cape where we have
a couple of downpours, Truro and Province Town. This is the heaviest of what's left of this storm that came through. That'll be pushing off. Everybody will get into clearing skies eventually, probably not tonight, probably first thing tomorrow morning or a little bit later. Than that, depending on where you are. Eventually, though,
tomorrow we're going to break out plenty of sunshine. Temperatures are going to get into the mid fifties and the warmest spots about fifty at the coast, and then mainly clear tomorrow night, more sunshine. On Wednesday, temperatures in the load of mid fifties. And on Thursday we'll still be in the load of mid fifties, but we'll bring in a few clouds and we may bring in a few showers late in the day. Right now, it is fifty
eight degrees in Boston. It's Saint Patrick's Day and for some a pub crawl in Boston.
Beautiful Irish morning, really very look at nice outside.
The doors opened at the Black Rose at eight o'clock in the morning, but despite the rain, Corey and Brian were here first in line at six thirty.
That it's a little more like Ireland today, why not?
So what we getting for breakfast?
Irish breakfast?
Full ours breakfast and I'm final again.
Nas Coming to the Black Rose has been a year's long tradition for Johnny and Mark.
Thirty years first paint in Boston.
Black Rose is the oldest and the best Irish part.
In the city.
Question, what's the best advice for newbies?
Enjoy the day, enjoy the camaraderie. It's good to get out, you know, in a day and age where so many people are stuck to their screens, it's nice to get out like this and actually talk to real people.
Pacing is the name of the game. The Saint Patrick's Day at the Black Rose. James Rojas WBZ Boston SNOOS Radio.
Are you wearing green today? You're supposed to write, it's a tradition on Saint Patrick's Day? But why.
There's a lot of lure regarding leprechauns, of mythical creatures said to go around pinching people not wearing green. There's also a belief that wearing green on Saint Patrick's Day is rooted in the color having become a symbol of Irish identity and resistance against British rule in the seventeen hundreds. But times have changed. If you're in New York City and decide pinching is in order, the luck of the Irish might not be with you, since pinching someone without
their consent can lead to charges of forcible touching. That's a Class A misdemeanor or assault in the third degree, also a Class A misdemeanor, potentially resulting in up to one year in jail, probation or other penalties. I'm Michael Kassner. I speaking of things that a green no takesy backsies. There's an effort these days targeting Lady Liberty.
A French lawmaker is calling on the US to give back the Statue of Liberty, saying America apparently despises the monument. Rafael Gluxman said the US no longer represents the values Lady Liberty stands for. The statue was a gift from France in eighteen eighty six. Gluxman, who has criticized President Trump over his policy in Ukraine, said the US has chosen to side with tyrants.
