A Massachusetts couple who signed up with the state to host migrants in their home had a family of four dropped off at their front door within an hour. Colin and Jessica Stokes‚ the host family‚ said “they knew they had the means and wanted to step up‚” according to CBS News. “I have to get sheets on the beds. How many people are coming? Where are they from? What ages. We really knew nothing‚” Jessica said. “The need is so clearly overwhelming‚” Colin said. “The family of four‚ who didn’t want to go on camera‚ had been sleeping at Logan Airport. The parents and two kids journeyed from Chile to Texas then Massachusetts. And there are so many stories like it‚” the report said. “It boggles the mind that there are so many hundreds of those stories‚” Colin added.

Within an hour the government sent a family of 4 to live in their house. @elonmusk was right when he said “They will come for your homes.” Report: https://t.co/m11isvHRGo pic.twitter.com/yGLdcYVOyp — m o d e r n i t y (@ModernityNews) February 12‚ 2024 CBS News reports: It comes as the state’s newest emergency shelter in Roxbury reached its capacity of 400 people in a week. An office building in Boston’s Seaport could be the next site‚ but there are concerns. “Having a site with no running water‚ no showers‚ to me‚ would be a non-starter‚” said Boston City Councilor Ed Flynn. The Stokes are getting a closer look at the state’s migrant crisis than they ever imagined. “It is incredible to observe on the front lines how challenging it is‚” Jessica said. They stress the need to fix it is greater than many of us know. “Just the disfunction is really disheartening and I know that really well-intentioned people are working as hard as they can‚ it’s a state of emergency. But it is distressing to see the volume‚” Jessica said. The Stokes said they spoke with WBZ to make the case for families to step up and help. The two kids living with them are still waiting to be placed in schools. The parents say they are both eager to work‚ but their work authorization forms will likely take months to process. CBS Boston has the full report: Massachusetts Gov. Maura Healey has previously asked residents to house migrant families‚ declaring a state of emergency. WATCH: From Boston 25 News in August 2023: The state’s shelters are reaching capacity and now the governor is asking residents to help by opening their doors. That was part of Governor Maura Healey’s announcement–as she also is looking for help from the federal government. The governor said anywhere between 10 to 30 migrant families a day are coming into Massachusetts. There are 40 hotels across the state helping to house them‚ but the governor is now pleading for help from the federal government—as well as you. Governor Healey says close to 5‚600 families are currently housed in the state’s emergency shelter system. That number is 80% higher than one year ago. Massachusetts is the only state in the country with a right-to-shelter law that guarantees homeless families access to emergency shelters. She says Massachusetts has been spending around $45 million a month to help assist these families. The situation is so bad‚ the Healey administration is now asking people to open their homes and businesses to help people in need.

President Trump plans to attend a Thursday evidentiary hearing in Atlanta regarding the ‘improper relationship’ allegations against Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis‚ The Washington Post reports. Willis faces accusations that she engaged in an ‘improper relationship’ with special prosecutor Nathan Wade‚ who she hired for the Georgia election interference case against Donald Trump. BREAKING: Donald Trump plans to attend a Thursday hearing in Atlanta on allegations that Fulton County DA Fani Willis engaged in an improper personal relationship with the lead prosecutor on the election interference case — ALX (@alx) February 13‚ 2024 The Washington Post reports: Trump has a scheduled appearance in New York the same day for a pretrial conference in a case that’s slated to go to trial on March 25. Trump is charged with 34 counts of falsifying business records in connection with hush money payments to adult-film actress Stormy Daniels during the 2016 election. If he instead travels to Atlanta‚ it will be his first court appearance in the sprawling racketeering case since a grand jury indicted him and 18 others in August. They are accused of criminally conspiring to try to overturn the 2020 presidential election in Georgia. At least one of those defendants‚ former Georgia GOP chairman David Shafer‚ is also expected to attend. If more do the same‚ Thursday could provide an early glimpse of what a multi-defendant trial could look like. If Trump attends Thursday’s hearing‚ he would be able to watch as Willis’s personal life and professional integrity are scrutinized and questioned. His appearance would likely draw even more attention and perhaps chaos to the already highly anticipated hearing.

And that is no longer a matter of complete speculation. The state has admitted a relationship existed‚” McAfee said. “And so what remains to be proven is the existence and extent of any financial benefit. Again‚ if there is‚ if there was one. So. Because I think it’s possible that the facts alleged by the defendant could result in disqualification‚ I think an evidentiary hearing must occur to establish the record on those core allegations‚” he continued.

I think an evidentiary hearing must occur to establish the record on those core allegations" pic.twitter.com/TkP2nDQAxX — Greg Price (@greg_price11) February 12‚ 2024 From the New York Post: The DA and Wade — whom Willis appointed as a special prosecutor in the Georgia election fraud case against the former president and over a dozen others — had both been seeking to get out of testifying at a court hearing Thursday where Trump co-defendant Mike Roman will seek to have the criminal case dropped against him over the prosecutors’ alleged misconduct. But Fulton County Superior Court Judge Scott McAfee said in court Monday Roman’s lawyer had “established a good faith basis” for the prosecutorial duo’s testimony and for testimony from other employees in the DA’s office. He also made clear the hearing would focus on Roman’s charges of whether Willis had benefited financially by hiring Wade and when they first became involved romantically. He warned: “Disqualification can occur if evidence is produced demonstrating an actual conflict or the appearance of one.” Donald Trump himself plans to attend that Thursday hearing‚ sources told The Washington Post‚ which would mark his first appearance in the Georgia court since he was indicted alongside 18 others last August.
