Shooting fallout: We're more than 1,100 miles away from Minneapolis, but the reverberations from the shooting of Renee Nicole Good by ICE officer Jonathan Ross are being felt here. A large crowd gathered last night on Boston Common to protest ICE, the second night of demonstrations in Boston. Earlier in the day, Mayor Michelle Wu called the shooting a result of the "cruel and vicious agenda" of the Trump administration. "This is not making cities safer, and we will join the Minneapolis mayor and others all around the country in calling for an end to mass deployment of ICE agents that are making peaceful American cities less safe than we were before," she told reporters yesterday. Wu (herself no stranger to standing up to Trump and his lieutenants) added that she spoke with Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey on Wednesday and sent her support. - Elected shock: Members of Massachusetts' all-Democratic congressional delegation say they're outraged by the shooting — and the "domestic terrorism" narrative pushed by Trump and other federal officials. That narrative is a lie, Sen. Ed Markey said in a video posted online. "This is not self defense. This is murder. This is what happens when a corrupt federal administration floods a city with masked ICE thugs and treats American cities like occupied territory," he said. Reps. Jim McGovern and Ayanna Pressley reiterated calls to abolish ICE.
- Flight back: Gov. Maura Healey, meanwhile, called on two airlines to stop chartering ICE flights that are deporting people from Hanscom Field in Bedford, WBUR's Chris Van Buskirk reports. "By contracting with ICE to execute these flights, you are profiting off these anti-American tactics and facilitating the obstruction of due process,” Healey said in her letter GlobalX Airlines and Eastern Air Express. Healey had already sent a letter last month to federal immigration officials asking them to immediately stop using Hanscom for deportation flights.
- Another shooting: Two people were shot in Portland, Oregon, yesterday afternoon, this time by a U.S. Customs and Border Protection agent. Far less is known about this shooting than the one in Minneapolis. A Department of Homeland Security spokesperson said the agent shot at gang members after the driver "weaponized his vehicle." She provided no evidence for the allegations and those details haven't been confirmed by Portland police. The FBI is leading the investigation.
Meaty opinions: Nutrition experts are digesting the Trump administration's new food pyramid guidelines — and it's giving some of them a stomachache. The new inverted pyramid shape emphasizes animal-based proteins, especially red meat, chicken and eggs. (It also calls for a reduction in processed foods, but that's not what has nutritionists needing an antacid.) WBUR's Amy Sokolow reports that in a call with reporters, Harvard nutritional epidemiologist Deirdre Tobias said that a variety protein sources is essential. "Having protein only come from beef every day or chicken or just eggs really runs the risk of creating an overall pattern very low in fiber because there is no fiber in those foods," she said. And too much red meat can lead to too much saturated fat, which drives up the risk of heart disease. - Why does the food pyramid matter? The guidelines not only impact individuals' eating choices, but also institutional meal decisions. School lunches and hospital patient meals follow the federal guidelines.
Get shakin': If one of your New Year's resolutions was to move your body more, the city of Boston is here to help. This week, the city's parks and recreation department kicked off its free winter fitness series : a variety of classes for all ages at community spaces across the city, Amy reports. That includes a walking group, strength and balance, yoga, dance fitness for kids and a new Brazilian dance-inspired class. Fitness program manager Jennifer Misiaszek said that attendees say they get more out of it than just an elevated heart rate. "They've really built a community and they meet new friends and they kind of hold each other accountable, week after week, to coming to the class," she said. "So not only are you working out, but you're having fun while doing it." P.S.— What company is asking Boston to loosen restrictions ahead of the World Cup this year?
