  Sunny mornings send you. Simon Rios recently
• 2:53
  spoke with two former immigration judges, Art
• 2:56
  Arthur and George Papas, about the recent shifts
• 3:00
  in immigration policy. Arthur is a fellow in
• 3:03
  law and policy at the Center for Immigration
• 3:06
  Studies, while Papas represents clients in western
• 3:09
  North Carolina and across the nation in United
• 3:12
  States immigration law. They discussed whether
• 3:15
  we are witnessing lawlessness or a controversial
• 3:18
  interpretation and enforcement of existing laws.
• 3:22
  This conversation was part of the recent Tell
• 3:25
  You Be Your Festival, where thousands of attendees
• 3:28
  gather in Boston each year to engage with fascinating
• 3:31
  speakers. Now on to sports. Spain coach Luis
• 3:41
  de la Fuente stressed that he is not thinking
• 3:44
  about a potential World Cup semi -final against
• 3:47
  France. while they still have a quarterfinal
• 3:50
  clash against Belgium on Friday. He stated, we
• 3:53
  are not thinking about anything other than Belgium.
• 3:56
  If we win, then we will speak about France. But
• 3:59
  as professionals, I can guarantee that we are
• 4:02
  completely focused on tomorrow's game. Nidloff
• 4:06
  went to acknowledge that France booked a spot
• 4:08
  in the semifinals after a 2 -0 win over Morocco.
• 4:13
  He remarked, France were the better team. We
• 4:16
  know what they are capable of. Delafuente expressed
• 4:20
  huge respect for Belgium, who beat co -host United
• 4:23
  States 4 -1 in the last 16. He noted, Belgium
• 4:28
  are a very strong team with players who are used
• 4:31
  to win. This will be a challenge. Spain are the
• 4:35
  only nation left in the tournament that has not
• 4:37
  conceded a goal, but they are not among the most
• 4:40
  prolific scorers. The coach mentioned that this
• 4:44
  is due solely to minor details, adding, I am
• 4:47
  aware of what I can control, and I control that
• 4:50
  well. He concluded, whatever else happens is
• 4:54
  beyond our control. That gives me a lot of peace
• 4:57
  of mind. It is one thing to be nervous. It is
• 5:00
  another to be afraid. In local sports, the Red
• 5:04
  Sox keep rolling. They swept Chicago yesterday
• 5:08
  behind Patrick Sandoval's return from Tony John
• 5:11
  surgery. He scattered five kits and one run through
• 5:15
  four in a third innings, marking his first action
• 5:18
  since undergoing the procedure in June 2024.
• 5:23
  Caleb Durbin drove in both runs with a home run,
• 5:26
  and the bullpen was dominant. Boston's now won
• 5:30
  11 of their last 13 games, outscoring opponents
• 5:34
  35 to 10. Durbin's been the centerpiece, launching
• 5:38
  eight homers since early June. But he's clear
• 5:41
  he's still got another gear. We're just playing
• 5:44
  winning baseball, he said. I think we've been
• 5:48
  close for a while, but we're just on the wrong
• 5:50
  side of it. Tonight they head to Queens to face
• 5:53
  the Mets at City Field. Sunny Gray takes the
• 5:58
  mound against Nolan McLean, first pitch 7 -15.
• 6:03
  The Sox arrive riding six straight wins and looking
• 6:06
  to extend that streak. Meanwhile, the Patriots

• 6:39
  starting with Indianapolis on August 11th. In

• 6:58
  on Thursday. Mbappe's goal was the 20th of his
• 7:02
  World Cup career. and came in his 20th match
• 7:05
  at the tournament. France will now face either
• 7:08
  Spain or Belgium in the semifinals in Dallas
• 7:11
  on Tuesday. Morocco's coach expressed disappointment,
• 7:15
  stating they had to run more and struggled with
• 7:18
  transitions. France dominated with a 21 -4 advantage
• 7:22
  in shots on goal during the match. In business
• 7:27
  news, Taco Bell is reportedly pulling produce
• 7:31
  from some stores. Here's what to know. Food safety
• 7:35
  issues were more problematic for the industry
• 7:38
  prior to the outbreak of COVID -19, TD Cowan
• 7:41
  analysts stated, as social media now keeps consumers'
• 7:45
  attention spans short. An outbreak of cyclosporiasis,
• 7:49
  a parasite -caused illness with symptoms, including
• 7:52
  explosive diarrhea, has sickened more than 1
• 7:55
  ,000 people in Michigan. Currently, Taco Bell
• 7:59
  is pulling some menu ingredients from a handful
• 8:01
  of restaurants in the area. It remains unclear
• 8:05
  whether there is a connection between the two,
• 8:07
  but an analyst suggests that the impact on Taco
• 8:10
  Bell and its parent company Gum Brands would
• 8:13
  likely be limited if a link exists. In crypto

• 9:30
  According to its 2026 Sustainability Report,
• 9:33
  Microsoft's carbon emissions totaled 34 million
• 9:37
  metric tons without select interventions. This
• 9:41
  rise was driven primarily by the expansion of
• 9:44
  data center infrastructure and the decision to
• 9:46
  stop purchasing non -additional, unbundled renewable
• 9:50
  energy certificates. The report acknowledges
• 9:53
  that sustainability solutions are not keeping
• 9:56
  up with the demands of artificial intelligence.

• 10:28
  to find an audience despite impeccable production
• 10:30
  values and an A -list cast. However, the second
