  U .S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents
• 3:28
  detained her mother. Hexy Edge, responding on
• 3:32
  social media, stated, I am a mother, an immigrant,
• 3:36

  a traumatized young person. The incident has

  sparked protests and a new policy from city manager
• 3:46
  Eric Batista, emphasizing that the police department
• 3:49
  will not target individuals based on immigration
• 3:52
  status. Now on to sports. ESPN is facing scrutiny
• 4:03
  over its recent NBA Finals broadcast lineup.
• 4:07
  Previously, play -by -play announcer Mike Breen.
• 4:11
  teamed with analysts Jeff Van Gundy and Mark
• 4:14
  Jackson, creating a comfortable and informative
• 4:17
  experience. However, after cutting Van Gundy
• 4:21
  and Jackson in 2023, ESPN introduced Doris Burke
• 4:26
  and Richard Jefferson alongside Breen for this
• 4:29
  year's finals. Critics note that Burke's role
• 4:33
  is uncertain and Jefferson's contract is expiring,
• 4:36
  amid interest from Amazon Prime Video. With Breen
• 4:40
  lacking chemistry with his new partners, ESPN's
• 4:44
  decision -making continues to raise eyebrows
• 4:46
  as they enter the finals. Tonight is Game 1 of
• 4:51
  the NBA Finals with Pacers at Thunder on ABC.
• 4:56
  Tip -off is at 8 .30 Eastern. The Thunder are

  favored by 9 .5. In local sports... Yesterday

• 5:14
  with six runs in the eighth, and Rafaela clinched
• 5:17
  the win with a walk -off solo shot in the ninth.
• 5:21
  Prick got the win, while Burke was tagged with
• 5:24
  a loss. Devers and Rafaela shone brightly at
• 5:28
  the plate, propelling Boston to 30 wins and 34
• 5:31
  losses, marking a thrilling comeback. Tomorrow
• 5:35
  night, the Sox face the Yankees in New York for
• 5:39
  game one of a three -game series. Walker Buehler,
• 5:43
  with a 4 .34 earned run average, takes on Will
• 5:47
  Warren, boosting a 5 .19. First pitch is at 7
• 5:52
  .05 under clear skies, with temperatures around

  76 degrees. In top news, in a significant move,
• 6:02
  President Trump has signed a travel ban affecting
• 6:05
  citizens from 12 countries, including Afghanistan,
• 6:08
  Myanmar, Chad, the Republic of the Congo, Equatorial
• 6:13
  Guinea, Eritrea, Haiti, Iran, Libya, Somalia,
• 6:18
  Sudan, and Yemen. Additionally, travel restrictions
• 6:22
  will apply to seven other nations, barring their
• 6:25
  citizens from permanent immigration and tourist
• 6:28
  or student visas. This policy, reminiscent of
• 6:32
  earlier immigration measures, aims to address
• 6:35
  high visa overstay rates and passport reliability
• 6:38
  issues. While the ban excludes green card holders
• 6:42
  and participants in major sporting events, its
• 6:46
  implementation is raising concerns among affected
• 6:48
  citizens. In business news, a large cargo ship,
• 6:55
  the Morning Midas, is adrift in the Pacific Ocean.
• 6:59
  after a fire broke out on a deck carrying electric
• 7:02
  vehicles. The vessel was approximately 300 miles
• 7:06
  southwest of Alaska's Attic Island when the flames
• 7:10
  forced the crew to abandon ship. All 22 crew
• 7:14
  members were safely evacuated and taken to a
• 7:17
  nearby merchant vessel. The ship was transporting
• 7:20
  around 3 ,000 cars, including 800 electric vehicles,
• 7:25
  from Yantai in China to Lazaro Cardenas in Mexico.
• 7:30
  The cause of the fire remains under investigation,
• 7:33

• 8:45
  Let's talk science. Astronomers have long believed
• 8:48
  that the Milky Way is on a collision course with
• 8:51
  the Andromeda Galaxy, but a new study suggests
• 8:54
  otherwise. Researchers found that the likelihood
• 8:57
  of a merger between the two galaxies is now about
• 9:00
  50 -50, likening the outcome to a coin flip.
• 9:05
  This fresh perspective emerged from a survey
• 9:07
  that included other significant galaxies in the
• 9:10
  area. While Earth may not be around in 5 billion
• 9:14
  years, the possibility of a near -miss offers
• 9:17
  comfort for future worlds, allowing the Milky
• 9:20
  Way to continue forming new stars. Ultimately,
• 9:24
  galactic dynamics will shape the cosmos, ensuring
• 9:28
  an exciting future for our galaxy. And in entertainment
• 9:34
  news. In an exciting new project, Colin Farrell
• 9:38
  and Margot Robbie star in the romantic fantasy
• 9:42
  film A Big Bold Beautiful Journey, directed by
• 9:45
  Kaganata. Robbie describes the experience as
• 9:49
  truly one of the most magical experiences of
• 9:52
  my life. After their major roles in Barbie and
• 9:56
  The Penguin, they embark on a story that explores
• 9:59
  connection and love through shared memories.
• 10:03
  Kaganata, known for his visual storytelling,
• 10:06
  aims to create a world that is both inviting
• 10:09
  and surprising. The film releases in theaters
• 10:13
  on September 19th. featuring a talented supporting
• 10:16
  cast, including Lily Rabe and Kevin Kline. Well,
• 10:22
  all righty, folks, it's time for the quote of
• 10:25
  the day. And today, our quote comes from the
• 10:29
  American writer and philosopher Albert Hubbard.
• 10:33
  And he said, The world is moving so fast these
• 10:37
  days that the man who says it can't be done is
• 10:40
  generally interrupted by someone doing it. And
• 10:44
  that's a wrap for this morning. You can check
