Meanwhile, three separate major ICE raids in La turned chaotic yesterday. KABCTV reporter Carlos Granda was in the city's garment district when a crowd turned against ICE agents in an effort to prevent them from arresting immigrants.

Speaker 4

Federal agents were inside and that's when a crowd formed outside, people surrounding the building. After several hours, that's when more agents came in with armored vehicles and vans to disperse the crowd. There was pepper spray confrontations, people screaming at the agents and agents then moving in to keep a path open to move in several vans into the parking lot of the building. That's when agents took out those

employees from in side put them in that van. People were following the agents that were yelling at them, throwing things at them. That's when we saw the agents throw out several loud flashbanks to move.

And now the wbz ACU weather forecast. This is a very familiar side. We're starting the weekend off on this Saturday with some showers and a thunderstorm in the area.

Speaker 6

Right now.

Speaker 1

We're just deal dealing with some clouds, pockets of fog, a high around seventy degrees today, a shower in some spots early, partly to mostly cloudy overnight, with an overnight low temp of sixty Tomorrow definitely the better pick of the weekend days. We're going to see somewhat lower humidity, a mix of sun and cloudshe again around seventy near the coast, closer to seventy five inland. That's during the daytime. During the night we do start to see a change up.

There could be a shower or two later Tomorrow night into Monday morning. The rest of Monday is just going to be cool with more clouds and sunshine will only warm up to sixty two degrees. What we're looking at right now, though, is the radar map. We are seeing now some widespread rain over northwestern Mass, parts of central Mass and then some other spotty show in other parts. Right now, it looks like Lemonster getting clipped Lowells, Lawrence

also seeing some rain. And then where we're really seeing some very hard downpours is up in New Hampshire. So anybody coming back down from the Lakes region right now is going to have to take it slow. There are some very intense rain showers there right now. It's cloudy right now in the city sixty four degrees at eleven oh six. Back to news, a woman who officially says

excuse me. A woman who officials say cost a huge, huge commotion on a recent Southwest Airlines flight to Phoenix is now facing charges.

A crew member blocked her, but she continued trying to access the exit door and began screaming. Two retired correctional officers on board restrained Brennan, but authorities alleged she kicked and spit and wrist restraints. She's facing up to twenty years

in federal prison if convicted. Michelle Franz and ABC News tariffs are starting to now hit the airlines, and CBS's Chris ban Cleeve tells us that means your next flight could cost more.

Speaker 7

I think we're in this transient moment. We're being cautious.

Speaker 2

Alaska CEO Ben Minicuci last month.

Speaker 7

Does the tariff rhetorick the economic uncertainty?

Speaker 6

Does that make it harder to run your business?

Speaker 7

You know, I think all that uncertainty that's in the market, you know, businesses are cautious to invest in capital expenditures and people out there thinking about making a big expension, whether it's the travel to somewhere or a vacation, are just being more cautious.
