This is WBZ, Boston's news radio, redefining local news.
Fifty nine degrees in Boston at four o'clock. Good afternoon, and thanks for joining us. I'm Suzanne Salsville. Here's what's happening. We start this hour with new developments on the buffer zone outside the Karen Reid retrial in Denham. A group of free Karen Reid supporters sued Judge Beverly Cononi and state police in federal court last month, arguing that the court ordered buffer zone requiring them to stay hundreds of
feet from the courthouse violates their First Amendment rights. A federal judge ruled against the protesters, but yesterday an appeals court vacated that ruling. The appeals court is now sending the case back to district court to revisit the buffer zone to see if there is a way to allow
peaceful protests. The trial resumes on money Day. Now for a legal victory for Tuff's grad student rumesa ozturk Oz Turk is out on bail from an ICE detention center in Louisiana, where she was held for more than a month after Ice agents grabbed her off the streets of Somerville. She was greeted by a crowd of supporters yesterday afternoon when she left the facility, I never.
Said you're being here on thanks so much for all the sport on love.
The Trump administration accuses oz Turk of engaging in activities that support Hamas, citing an op edge she co wrote last year that called for Tufts to divest from Israel. Her lawyers argue her detention violated her First Amendment rights. A federal judge in Vermont sided with os Turk's lawyers, ordering her immediate release with no travel restrictions that allows her to return to Somerville and continue her studies while her case plays out. Meantime, Worcester residents are outraged after
ice detained two people on Eureka Street Thursday. CBS News Boston's Beth Germano has details.
As crowds began to swarm around federal agents. A witness describing what she saw the.
Mom as she was being detained too, she was screaming. I don't know if she was being hurt, and as she was handcuffed, I don't know, well, you know, but she was truly screaming. Those are the streams that I have ingrained in my ears right now.
Another relative, believed to be her daughter, flailing in front of the ICE vehicle in a scene that rapidly grew into chaos in front of agents. Some masked and witnesses say they had no answers about the arrest. We were all asking for a warrant.
They didn't answer at first, and then eventually just said this is a warrant less arrest when they were shoving them into the vehicle.
Worcester Police say they moved in to de escalate the situation, but the response has outraged the community, some saying they question which side the police was on. Two others were arrested. School Committee candidate Ashley Spring, charged with disorderly conduct as salt and battery as she allegedly threw an unknown liquid at responding officers.
The identity of the women. The woman detained by ICE is still unknown. It's also still unknown where she was taken. The forecast brought to you by some punky some pump geeks powered by Pioneer Basements. Clear to partly cloudy tonight, low fifty two Tomorrow, plenty of sun for Mother's Day, a bit breezy with a high of seventy on Monday, mostly sunny, still a bit breezy and warm, high seventy two.
On Tuesday, a mix of sun and clouds, a bit cooler, with a high year sixty but closer to seventy further inland. Right now in Boston, it's mostly cloudy and fifty nine degrees. When Garrett Crochet takes the mound for the Socks, one fan is watching extra carefully. Wbz's Kyle Bray explains.
When the Red Sox trading for Garrett Crochet this offseason, on a gotten idea, she wanted to combine her two passions, baseball and crochet, and thus the crocheting with Crochet challenge was born. The process is simple.
I can only crochet when Crochet is in the game. He doesn't have to be actively pitching if it was during If I could only crochet when he was actively pitching, I wouldn't get anything done because thankfully, a lot of his outings are three up, three down.
And the second he's pulled from the game, she stops and picks it up during his next start. By the end of the season, she's hoping to have a full sweater done, maybe in time for October.
Baseball, I thought that'd be really special at the end of the year. Hopefully the team does well enough that I finally get to watch my first postseason game after Crochet's first year as the ace for the Red Sox, and I'm in a sweater that I made the whole time. That just seemed really a really special project.
No pressure. Garrett from Fenway Kyle BRAWBZ Boston's News Radio.
