Speaker 1

Good Saturday morning is eleven o'clock on this May tenth. I'm Sherry Small as always, thanks for tuning in. Let's get you caught up. Here is what's happening, all right? Hold on a sunshine ray of hope is on the way.

Speaker 2

Some rain's still in the area through the afternoon, bought some sun should peek through by the end of the day.

Speaker 3

Breezy, not quite as chilly this afternoon.

The crowds began to swarm around federal agents. A witness describing what she saw the mom as she was being detained too.

Speaker 3

She was screaming.

Speaker 2

I don't know if she was being hurt, and as she was handcuffed, I don't know what you know, but she was truly screaming. Those are the streams that I have ingrained in my ears right now. 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 it first, and then eventually just said this is a warrantless 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 and assault and battery as she allegedly threw an unknown liquid at responding officers.

Speaker 1

And the identity of the woman detained by ICE remains unknown, as well as where she is being held. Tough's PhD candidate Remesa Austerk, meanwhile, is free this after more than six weeks in an ICE detention center in Louisiana. Supporters erupting in cheers outside Vermont Federal Court, where a judge ordered the Trump administration to release her. Governor Moore also applauding the judge's decision. She had been held ever since. Ice agents arrested her on a street in Somerville back

on March twenty fifth and brought her to Louisiana. Her lawyer says that she was targeted for an op ed that she co authored about Palestine in a Tough's student newspaper. Also release. The mayor of Newark, New Jersey, after he was initially arrested at an immigration detention set Jackson.

Speaker 4

Homeland Security officers handcuffed Mayor ros Baraka yesterday at Delaney Hall, an ice center he has claimed as dangerous, illegal and not up to code. Baraka said he was there to support the Congress members who were touring the facility, but the Trump administration claims he trespassed and ignored warnings to.

Speaker 1

Leave that CBS's David Jacobsen reporting now the ECHU weather forecast, We're going to see these clouds and rain hang on through the midday hours, then sunshine returning late in the day. It's going to be a not nearly as chilly this afternoon as what we saw yesterday. There is going to be a breeze, but a high of just sixty two, clearly departly cloudy tonight, dropping to fifty two then tomorrow

Mother's Day, we're going to get a break. It looks like mother Nature is smiling on Mother's Day with plenty of sunshine and pleasant tempts, breezy and warmer, with highs around seventy. On Monday, mostly sunny, remaining breezy and warm, a high of seventy two. Tuesday, we cool things down, sun giving way to clouds, highs near sixty closer to seventy in those areas that are away from the coast. In the city. Right now, we're seeing rain and fifty degrees.

A quick look at the radar map shows us rain over most of central Mass and northeastern Mass. Some spotty showers along the south coast, but just in spots. It's eleven oh five. Back to news. Local lawmakers celebrate Wellesley Squares first accessible MBTA commuter rail station. WBC's Kendlebill has that for.

Speaker 5

Us, the state, local and federal officials. Here I'll give credits to the decade old lobbying efforts of Will Fahee. Wheelchair bound Faye will lie it on rides from parents and others to get to Fenway Park where he works for the Red Sox Foundation. That is until February, and the installation of a mini high platform that allowed him to get on the train just gives me an independent way to get to work every day.

Speaker 1

It's a game changer.

Speaker 5

And that is exactly the goal, says MBTA general manager Philip.

Speaker 2

And the freedom to be able to use mass transportation, that's the goal.

Speaker 1

We want to get people out of their cause.

Speaker 4

We want to give people options and accessibility is a key way things.

Speaker 5

The many high platforms are just around the corner for more communities, including West Medford, Franklin and Walpole Kendall be able to be a busy.

In Boston's news radio, federal investigators released new details about the deadly plane crash in upstate New York that claim the lives of a Massachusetts family. Investigators have put together a timeline of the hours leading up to the crash that killed six people, including former MIT soccer player, who are in a graph. The NTSB issuing a preliminary report saying that the private plane left Boston before stopping at Westchester County Airport north of New York City to pick

up two more passengers. It apparently ran into trouble as it flew to the Catskills for a family gathering. Investigators have not yet revealed the exact costs of the crash. A day after big changes are announced, air traffic controllers at Newark Airport lose radio contact with planes for the second time in two weeks. CBS's Ali Bauman has more on what the federal government plans to do about thirst day.

Speaker 3

Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy announced a multi billion dollar plan to upgrade the system nationwide with six new air traffic control centers, upgrades to telecommunications systems at forty six hundred sites, twenty five hundred new radios, and more than six hundred replacement radars. He spoke about it Friday on CBS Mornings.

Speaker 4

It is well overdue in America, and I think what you've seen in Newark is you're having failings, and when you have the failings, you take a look look at the whole system.

Speaker 1

Air traffic controllers briefly lost contact with a FedEx plane heading for Boston. They were able to get in touch on another frequency. You are now in the loop for news updates throughout the day. Listen to WBZ News Radio on the iHeart Radio app. I'm Sherry Small. WBZ Boston's news radio
