Nightside With Dan Rea

The U.S. Supreme Court ruled that the Trump Administration can terminate the Temporary Protected Status program that protects roughly 350,000 Venezuelan migrants from the threat of deportation. Originally a federal judge blocked Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem's revocation of the TPS program saying that “ending the program could harm hundreds of thousands of people, cost the economy billions of dollars and hurt public health and safety.” How will this latest decision impact the country?

The HALO Act is a legislative bill aimed at creating a buffer zone for first responders to be able to conduct their job responsibilities without interference from bystanders. While police advocate for establishing a legal buffer zone that would keep not just police safe but spectators who at times are inserting themselves and getting either hurt or arrested with interfering with police activity, some are not in favor of the Act believing it infringes on the public’s “right to know” and fear police could abuse the law. Do you think there is a need for a police/bystander buffer zone? Why or why not? MA Rep. Richard Wells, a supporter of the bill joined us to discuss. Dan also heard from listeners on both sides of the aisle on this one!
