Sanctuary-city showdown: A federal judge in Boston appeared ready to toss the Trump Justice Department’s lawsuit targeting Boston’s “sanctuary city” Trust Act, after grilling DOJ arguments about whether local police must hold immigrants for ICE and whether the government misled the court. Immigration protections in the spotlight: Massachusetts lawmakers advanced the PROTECT Act, aiming to limit state and municipal involvement in immigration enforcement and strengthen protections at “sensitive locations” like schools and hospitals. Youth support, local wins: In East Boston, the EASTIE Coalition and NeighborHealth celebrated the opening of a Youth Space at the YMCA—switching from scattered meeting rooms to a dedicated hub for mentorship and substance-misuse prevention. Community environment: Tree Eastie hit its 800th tree planted and says a new Massport agreement could expand plantings along key waterfront areas. Culture & health: A stuttering-therapy workshop in Boston (June 1–5) and the continued rise of IV therapy businesses show how care and community keep expanding beyond the clinic.
