Governor Healey Praises Heroic Response of Massachusetts State Police and First Responders During Memorial Drive Shooting

  

BOSTON - Governor Maura Healey today released the following statement regarding the actions of Massachusetts State Police troopers and first responders during yesterday’s shooting on Memorial Drive in Cambridge:  

 

“Yesterday, we saw once again the extraordinary courage and selflessness of the Massachusetts State Police, Cambridge Police, and our first responders. In the middle of a terrifying and chaotic situation on Memorial Drive, troopers and emergency personnel ran toward danger to protect innocent people, secure the scene and prevent further violence. Their quick actions and professionalism undoubtedly saved lives.

 

We are especially grateful for the heroism of the State Police trooper who put himself directly in harm’s way during the incident as officers worked to stop the threat and protect the public. I spoke with him last night, thanked him, and told him that his actions reflected the very best of law enforcement and public service under extraordinarily dangerous circumstances. This is a particularly poignant reminder as we lay to rest this week Trooper Kevin Trainor, who lost his life while heading toward danger to keep people safe. 

 

I want to thank every law enforcement officer from the Cambridge Police Department, firefighter, EMT, dispatcher and first responder who answered the call yesterday and worked together to protect the people of Cambridge during an incredibly dangerous and fast-moving situation. I am equally grateful to the civilian who courageously stepped in to assist law enforcement during this terrifying incident, demonstrating extraordinary bravery in a moment of crisis. I have also spoken with him and expressed our deep gratitude. 

 

I want the people of Massachusetts to know that my entire administration, alongside law enforcement agencies across our state, is working day in and day out to keep our communities safe. Violence like this has no place in Massachusetts. We will continue doing everything we can to protect public safety, strengthen partnerships across law enforcement and communities, and ensure that the brave men and women who put on the uniform every day have the tools and support they need.”  

麻州、波士頓市各出一半組一億元「公共股權」基金 首宗支持建案在 Roxbury蓋110戶大樓

(Boston Orange綜合編譯) 麻州州長奚莉 (Maura Healey) 和波士頓市長吳弭 (Michelle Wu) 今（ 12） 日宣佈，正式啟動州市攜手共出資1 億美元 的全美首個「公共股權」基金，為麻州催生更多住宅單位。首宗建案為注資 1,050 萬美元 在洛士百利(Roxbury) 蓋 110 戶混合收入住宅。

州政府和地方政府攜手投資的這公共股權基金，由波士頓市的「住房加速器基金 (Housing Accelerator Fund)」和麻州政府的「動力基金 (Momentum Fund) 」各出資5,000 萬美元 ，組成額度1 億美元 的「公共股權」，交給麻州住房融資局 (MassHousing) 管理。

這做法是把傳統的政府補助轉變為「低成本公共股權投資」，鎖定已獲核准但因資金缺口停滯的建案，提供支持。當建案完工並辦理再融資後，這筆公共資金將會流回基金，以期藉此為槓桿，實現循環利用理想，達到在全州範圍建造超過 1,000 套住宅單位的理想。

作為該計畫的全美首個合作城市，波士頓市將透過其「住房加速器基金」(Housing Accelerator Fund) 參與投資。

吳弭市長表示，「公共股權」模式能確保公共資源在洛士百利等核心社區發揮最大效益，防止居民流離失所。奚莉州長強調，州政府的目標是在2035 年前，新建 22.2 萬套房屋，這種跨級政府的金融協作是必要的制度創新。

「公共股權」基金發包的首個建案是位於馬爾坎 X 大道(Malcolm X Boulevard) 20 號，由 SV+Partners 和Trax Development 合作，把現有的地面停車場改造為六層住宅，其中包含 22 套經濟適用房與 88 套市場價公寓，以保留場地內的舊洛士百利男孩俱樂部 (Roxbury Boys Club) 歷史建築，並增設公共景觀廣場與社區設施。

目前，「動力基金」已在洛克士百利、格拉夫頓 (Grafton) 及米爾頓 (Milton) 等市鎮，支持共 453 套住宅開發案。此外州府案和波士頓市亦將運用其基金支持波士頓房屋局 (BHA) 的重建項目及創新購房模式。

吳弭市長宣佈波士頓收購基金獲2026可負擔住宅象牙獎

MAYOR MICHELLE WU ANNOUNCES BOSTON ACQUISITION FUND WINS 2026 IVORY PRIZE FOR HOUSING AFFORDABILITY   

National recognition highlights Boston’s leadership in preserving affordable housing and preventing displacement

BOSTON - Tuesday, May 12, 2026 - Mayor Michelle Wu today announced that the City’s Boston Acquisition Fund has been named the winner of the 2026 Ivory Prize for Housing Affordability in the Finance category, a national award recognizing innovative and scalable solutions to the housing affordability crisis. The award, presented annually by Ivory Innovations, recognizes the Boston Acquisition Fund’s role in preserving naturally occurring affordable housing and preventing resident displacement across Boston. Launched in 2024 and supported by a coalition of hospitals, philanthropic partners, and banks, the Boston Acquisition Fund is a public-private revolving loan fund that provides rapid, low-cost acquisition financing to mission-driven developers seeking to preserve existing below-market-rate housing. The Fund is administered by Boston-based non-profit lender Massachusetts Housing Investment Corporation. 

“We are thrilled to be named alongside innovative communities and organizations, finding ways to solve complex challenges and tackle our housing crisis. This award reflects the strength of Boston’s public-private partnerships and our shared work with mission-driven developers to ease displacement pressures and preserve critical affordable housing for thousands of residents,” said Mayor Michelle Wu. “We are proud to receive this recognition that affirms our determination that Boston can lead with innovative, scalable solutions for cities facing similar challenges.”

The coalition of investors includes the City of Boston, Mass General Brigham, the Boston Foundation, the Barr Foundation, Boston Children’s Hospital, Boston Medical Center, Dana Farber Cancer Center, Beth Israel Lahey Health, Tufts Medical Center, First Citizens Bank, Housing Ministries of New England, Eastern Bank Foundation, and the Massachusetts Housing Investment Corporation.  

Since the launch, the $45 million fund has supported the acquisition of 435 homes in Roxbury, Dorchester, Roslindale, and Mattapan, permanently stabilizing rent for over 1,000 households. 

The Fund builds on and complements the success of the City’s Acquisition Opportunity Program (AOP), which continues to provide City subsidy to support these acquisitions. Through that program, the City has supported the acquisition preservation of more than 1,400 affordable homes and created a proven framework for anti-displacement housing strategies in Boston’s rapidly changing neighborhoods.

The Boston Acquisition Fund significantly expands and strengthens the City’s AOP program by providing a flexible, revolving source of capital that can move at the speed of the private market. By offering below-market financing with streamlined underwriting, the Fund gives developers the ability to act quickly when affordable properties become available, helping preserve naturally occurring affordable housing that might otherwise be lost. As loans are repaid, funds are recycled into future preservation projects, creating a long-term and sustainable preservation tool that can support multiple generations of affordable housing investments.

“The Boston Acquisition Fund has created a practical and replicable financing model that helps preserve affordability at a time when many communities are struggling with displacement pressures,” said Chief of Housing Sheila A. Dillon. “This award highlights the strength of partnership between the City, nonprofit developers, lenders, and institutional partners and demonstrates how Boston continues to evolve and strengthen our housing preservation efforts to meet today’s challenges.”

The 2026 Ivory Prize winners will be honored in person at the annual Ivory Prize Summit, a national convening that gathers entrepreneurs, academics, policymakers and industry leaders to collaborate and learn about the most impactful housing affordability solutions. This year’s Ivory Prize Summit will take place Oct. 14-15, in Tempe, Arizona.

劍橋市紀念大道爆十餘聲槍響 警方已逮補嫌犯

來自社交媒體的截圖

 (Boston Orange綜合編譯) 麻州劍橋市紀念大道（Memorial Drive）和河街（River Street ）交界處發生5至10幾響的隨機槍擊案，警方與嫌犯一度激烈交火，隨後逮補了現年46歲，手持長槍的前科犯泰勒·布朗（Tyler Brown）。目前已知有2人受傷送醫，細節尚待釐清。

麻州州長Maura Healey在推特上說明正密切關注槍擊案發展。

事件發生在今（5月11）日下午大約 1 時 20 分左右，頭戴黑帽，身穿黑色短袖上衣，短褲的泰勒布朗，揮舞長槍，在劍橋市（Cambridge）紀念大道（Memorial Drive）上隨機開槍，嚇得100 多輛車上司機與乘客棄車而逃。許多車輛的車頭燈被射得破碎，車身留有彈痕。警察封街後，封鎖線內還有數十輛汽車留在那兒，其中一輛還是美國郵政局（USPS）車輛。

網民指薩福克郡前地方檢察官Rachael Rollins曾建請法官判處Brown更重刑罰。

目擊者羅德里格斯（Joseph Minino Rodriguez）指出，嫌犯連開5 槍後，似乎出現武器卡彈情況，但仍持續行動，隨後與趕抵現場的州警交火。根據他拍攝的現場影片，嫌犯被警察擊倒後，旁邊地上躺著一支長槍。

波士頓 25 頻道電視新聞（Boston 25 News）調查發現，布朗曾因向警員開槍在 2020 年判刑，本案發生時應處於假釋或緩刑期間。波士頓警方今日上午曾發布安全通報，指布朗曾向假釋官發表自殺言論，並在影像通話中展示突擊步槍及發出威脅。警方隨後透過手機信號追蹤其至劍橋市，不久即發生槍擊事件。

在這次的槍擊事件中，至少有兩人受傷送醫。哈佛大學警局（Harvard University Police Department）初步報告指出可能有兩名受害者，州警證實嫌犯本身受傷，且現場另有至少一人接受槍傷治療。對於外傳傷者包含亞裔女性之說法，目前官方及主流媒體尚未證實任何受害者的族裔或性別細節。

麻州州長奚莉（Maura Healey）在推特上感謝第一線執法人員反應迅速，告訴州民如今已無安全威脅。目前紀念大道周邊路段仍因證物蒐集維持大範圍封鎖，相關單位正針對布朗的心理健康狀況及其非法獲取槍枝的渠道展開深入調查。

Patrick Roath 挑戰Stephen Lynch聯邦參議員席位 官宣籌得100萬元競選經費

Patrick Roath （圖片來自Roath 競選網站）

（Boston Orange綜合編譯）麻州第八選區聯邦眾議員參選人派翠克·羅斯（Patrick Roath）今（11）日宣佈，籌款數額突破 100 萬美元，已正式取得候選人資格，將在9月初選中名列選票，和在位25年的現任議員史蒂芬·林奇（Stephen Lynch）一爭高下。

Stephen Lynch (圖片來自Lynch網站）

由於民調顯示，77%的選民不認識羅斯，因而在支持度上，羅斯和林奇有36%和62%的大幅度落差，然而一旦民調人員向受訪者展示羅斯和林奇的背景資料和林奇的法案投票紀錄後，兩人的民調支持度就翻轉為羅斯 57%，林奇 42%。羅斯強硬要求9月1日初選前，在波士頓、昆士市（Quincy）與布羅克頓(Brockton)舉行三場辯論。

現年39歲，住在牙買加平原（Jamaica Plain）的麻州第八選區聯邦眾議員參選人派翠克·羅斯（Patrick Roath）被人形容為學霸型進步派律師，曾是麻州前州長Deval Patrick幕僚，參加過這位前州長的州長與總統選戰，也在歐巴馬總統任內，到白宮新聞辦公室實習，之後在Ropes & Gray 律師事務所工作十年，專攻民事訴訟與公益法（Pro Bono），特別是投票權與政治庇護案件，還擔任過美國第一巡迴上訴法院聯邦法官的法律書記官。

派翠克·羅斯（Patrick Roath）曾在派區克和歐巴馬麾下工作，以及他曾任 Common Cause Massachusetts（麻州共同事業組織）董事會主席，在推動麻州的「自動選民登記」及「普及郵寄投票」法律中扮演關鍵角色等經歷，讓他能在表白參選意願一年內就籌到100萬元，甚至比林奇在競選連任以來籌得的約52萬美元都多，讓他有了更多挑戰底氣。

然而現年71歲的林奇，憑藉在位25年資歷，曾是鋼鐵工人長達18年，有堅強工會及藍領階層的支持，以及競選金庫中仍有118萬元，在民調上以62%對36%，在知名度上更是把77%選民不認識的羅斯遠拋在後等優勢，羅斯的這場選戰仍然不容易。

麻州長Maura Healey在釣魚節表揚華府槍擊案遇難學生Eric Tarpinian-Jachym對環保的貢獻

對社區與環保的貢獻。（州長辦公室提供）

（Boston Orange編譯）麻州州長奚莉（Maura Healey）5月10日到漢普頓池塘州立（Hampton Ponds State Park）出席釣魚節紀念活動，代表麻州大學（UMass）追授畢業證書給2025 年在華盛頓特區槍擊案中罹難的 21 歲青年 Eric Tarpinian-Jachym，表揚他對社區與環境的貢獻。

麻州大學總校長Marty Meehan也在活動中宣佈，該校將以Eric Tarpinian-Jachym的名義，在他生前就讀的麻大安赫斯特（Amherst）分校艾森伯格（Isenberg）管理學院設立獎學金，為學生創造學習和茁壯機會，延續Eric生前展現的公共服務與好奇心等特質。

Eric Tarpinian-Jachym是一名來自麻州格蘭比（Granby）的麻州大學管理學院大四學生，遇害時正在華府擔任聯邦眾議員Ron Estes的國會實習生。2025年6月30日晚10點半左右，華府Ｍ街和7街交界處，發生一起隨機飛車槍擊案，有2組幫派交火，正好路過的Eric身中4槍，送醫次日宣告不治。該案震驚華府政壇，人們紛紛詬病華府治安敗壞。

麻州州長希莉獲悉Eric Tarpinian-Jachym生前熱愛釣魚和環保後，建議以此充滿活力方式，讓社區鄰里不分年齡與體能狀況，都能聚在一起，藉著體驗釣魚樂趣來紀念他。麻州野生動物局（MassWildlife），保護與娛樂部（DCR）及和麻州身障服務中心（MassAbility） 等單位聯合舉辦活動時，特地在現場特別安排了無障礙設施。

Eric 在地方釣魚圈頗負盛名，20 歲就成為老牌釣魚俱樂部最年輕的董事，還經常帶頭清理海洋廢棄物。出席活動的環境部長 Rebecca Tepper 說，這場釣魚會不僅是為了懷念 Eric，更是要把他愛護環境、樂於服務大眾的心延續下去。

麻州政府表示，未來計畫將這類釣魚教學活動常態化，讓更多居民能像 Eric 一樣發現戶外運動的美好。

 Healey-Driscoll Administration Hosts Fishing Festival Honoring Eric Tarpinian-Jachym’s Legacy 

Event at Hampton Ponds State Park celebrates Eric’s love of fishing and serves to inspire people of all ages and abilities to connect with nature through fishing and outdoor recreation 

WESTFIELD - Governor Maura Healey today joined Eric Tarpinian-Jachym's family and friends, state and local leaders, and members of the public at Hampton Ponds State Park to honor his life and legacy with a family fishing festival celebrating his passion for the outdoors.  
 
Eric Tarpinian-Jachym, 21, of Granby, tragically passed away in a shooting in Washington D.C. on July 1, 2025. His life, though short, was filled with passion, curiosity and achievement in many realms. A rising senior at the University of Massachusetts Amherst Isenberg School of Management, he was an intern for U.S. Rep. Ron Estes in Washington D.C. An avid freshwater and saltwater angler, Tarpinian-Jachym's enthusiasm for the outdoors was unmatched, and he introduced many to fishing and shared his love of the outdoors. 

 

Hosted by the Massachusetts Department of Fish & Game (DFG)’s Division of Fisheries & Wildlife (MassWildlife), the Department of Conservation and Recreation (DCR), and MassAbility, the event brought together people of all ages and abilities for an accessible fishing clinic and outdoor recreation activities inspired by Eric’s lifelong love of fishing and environmental stewardship. 

 

“Eric brought people together through his love of fishing, the outdoors and community, and today we are honoring that spirit in a way that reflects who he was,” said Governor Maura Healey. “This event is about celebrating Eric’s life by helping more people experience the joy, connection and peace that can come from spending time outside and learning something new alongside family and friends. We are deeply grateful to Eric’s family for allowing us to honor his memory in such a meaningful way.” 

 

“Our son Eric Tarpinian-Jachym was ecstatic when he was accepted to UMASS Amherst Isenberg School of Business because of its reputation as one of the best business schools in the country. After Eric's tragic passing, UMass President Marty Meehan reached out to our family with the utmost kindness and compassion and suggested we have the Eric Tarpinian-Jachym Memorial Scholarship Endowment.  We graciously accepted this as we know Eric would have supported his alma mater after graduation,” said Tamara Tarpinian-Jachym, mother of Eric Tarpinian-Jachym. ”Governor Healey has been immensely supportive of our family throughout this tragedy. While talking to our family she learned that Eric loved fishing and was a good steward of the environment. She suggested honoring Eric with a fishing festival that would bring the community together to honor Eric's passion for fishing, no matter their ages or abilities, and we thought it was a great way to honor Eric.”  

 

“At just 21 years old, Eric had a desire to make a difference in the world and was well on his way to a promising career in public service. His death is a tremendous loss to all of us. At UMass Amherst, Eric’s memory will live on in perpetuity through the establishment of this endowed scholarship in his name, creating opportunities for future UMass students to learn and thrive,” said University of Massachusetts President Marty Meehan, who donated to the scholarship. “We are very appreciative to all of those who joined us in supporting this scholarship, which has already surpassed the endowment threshold goal.”  

 

“Eric’s passion for the outdoors and for fishing left a lasting impression on the people around him,” said Energy and Environmental Affairs Secretary Rebecca Tepper. “Today’s fishing clinic is a way to share that passion with others. It’s an opportunity for people to come together, spend time outside, and appreciate the connections that meant so much to him.” 

 

To honor his life and legacy, Governor Healey presented Eric Tarpinian-Jachym's family with an official Governor’s Citation in recognition of his many achievements and the positive impact he had on his community. Additionally, on behalf of Chancellor Javier A. Reyes and University of Massachusetts Amherst, Governor Healey presented his posthumous diploma from the University of Massachusetts School of Management to his parents and announced a scholarship endowment honoring Tarpinian-Jachym's memory in perpetuity at UMass Amherst. 

Each year, MassWildlife’s Angler Education Program offers free family fishing clinics across the state, with thousands of participants. Through partnership with DCR’s Universal Access Program (UAP) and MassAbility, this clinic was fully accessible for people of all abilities, increasing opportunities for everyone to connect with nature through outdoor recreation in Eric’s honor. 

“Eric Tarpinian-Jachym was an exceptional young man who loved to fish with family and friends, especially at Hampton Ponds State Park. We are proud to carry on Eric's legacy of encouraging people young and old to connect with nature through fishing and outdoor adventure,” said DFG Commissioner Tom O’Shea. “Thank you to our partners at DCR and MassAbility for making this special event possible so more people can follow in Eric’s footsteps, discovering a love of the outdoors and dedicating themselves to stewarding our shared environment.” 

“Eric Tarpinian-Jachym was a remarkable young man whose life was marked by curiosity, service, and a deep love for the outdoors,” said DCR Commissioner Nicole LaChapelle. “We are proud to host this event in his honor at a place where he and his family spent many days enjoying nature together. Eric was an avid outdoorsman and angler, and this is a meaningful way to celebrate his life through one of his favorite activities.” 

"Today's event is a celebration of and testament to the strength of persons with disabilities who redefine the boundaries of possibility every day. As we remember Eric, we honor a young man who proved that true capability is found in the power of one's spirit and unwavering courage to live life on your own terms,” said MassAbility Commissioner Toni Wolf. 

Eric was an angler for most of his life, first learning to fish when he was a toddler with his siblings, grandpa and parents. Beyond this, he was a strong leader in the community and an advocate for protection of the environment. He was a member of Rhode Island Saltwater Anglers Association (RISAA), frequently competed in tournaments, participated in free dives to remove marine debris, and supported RISAA's initiatives before the Rhode Island Fisheries Commissions. He also belonged to Pioneer Valley Boat & Surf Club, in Agawam, where he was on the Board of Directors, and the youngest board member ever. 

“Eric was a member of the Pioneer Valley Boat and Surf Club for over five years. In that short time, he made a huge impression on all of the members. At the age of 20, he was the youngest ever appointed to the board of directors. His passion carried over to people he met while fishing the beaches or boulders. Eric was well known in the Rhode Island surf fishing community for his love of the sport and conservation,” said Steve Nacewicz, President of the Pioneer Valley Boat and Surf Club. “There is no doubt that Eric has left his mark on all who knew him. His devotion to his family and pursuits of life will long be remembered. Sadly, we can only imagine what great things he would have accomplished. We will keep his memory fresh with every cast we take, and every story we tell.” 

"I so appreciate the Healey Administration organizing this event in honor of - and in memory of - Eric Tarpinian-Jachym. It celebrates his life and his commitment to the environment and does so in a way that allows everyone to participate,” said State Representative Mindy Domb, 3rd Hampshire District. “Thanks to MassAbility, the Massachusetts Department of Fish & Game (DFG)’s Division of Fisheries & Wildlife (MassWildlife), and the Department of Conservation and Recreation (DCR) for coordinating a fun, inclusive, poignant and memorable event in Eric's honor." 

 

For Eric, fishing was more than a hobby, it was a way to build community, connect with nature, and bring people together. Today’s event continues that legacy by helping more Massachusetts residents experience the outdoors in same spirit of generosity and curiosity that defined his life.

 (Boston Orange編譯) 波士頓東方銀行（Eastern Bank）5月8日宣佈，資深副總裁陳詠梅（Yongmei Chen）升任商業集團社區發展貸款總監（Commercial Group Director of Community Development Lending）。

陳詠梅與前任總監彭美拉·范高德（Pamela Feingold）共事15年，期間將該部門資產組合從不足6億美元大幅擴張至逾20億美元。她將接替於今年3月16日逝世的范高德，領導這支專注於經濟振興與可負擔住房的團隊。

陳詠梅在銀行業有30多年經驗，2007年加入東方銀行以來擔任過許多領導職務。她擅長協助非營利組織貸款，尤其是為可負擔住房與社區振興項目提供資金支持。東方銀行執行副總裁兼首席商業銀行業務官布斯科（Greg Buscone）表示，陳詠梅在社區發展貸款及非營利領域深耕，長期擔任該行亞裔美國人專業員工會（Asian American Professional Employee Collective）聯席主席，將為部門提供穩定的領導力。

陳詠梅在許多個公共組織中也非常活躍，包括擔任亞美社區發展協會（ACDC）執行委員會委員、可負擔住房保護組織（Preservation of Affordable Housing）財務與審計委員會主席、新波士頓人英語項目（English for New Bostonians）董事會司庫，以及麻州住房與投資公司（Massachusetts Housing and Investment Corporation）董事。

（Boston Orange 編譯）美國司法部5月8日正式起訴，要求撤銷12 名歸化公民的國籍。代理司法部長布蘭奇（Todd Blanche）強調，川普政府將落實「清理移民體系」承諾，針對透過欺詐或隱瞞重罪取得身分者採取法律行動，已著手處理約 400 起類似案件。

美國司法部的這一次行動，意味著行政當局已將除籍從過去的「極端個案」轉為常態化的執法武器。

首波 12 名除籍對象及案由如下：

Ali Yousif Ahmed Al-Nouri：涉嫌於伊拉克殺害兩名警察，卻在入籍時隱瞞其戰爭罪行。

Oscar Alberto Pelaez：哥倫比亞籍神父，因性侵 14 歲少年定罪，申請入籍時隱瞞此重罪前科。

Victor Manuel Rocha：前美國外交官，被控長期擔任古巴間諜，其公民身分被判定為非法獲取。

Emmanuel Oluwatosin Kazeem：涉及盜用 25 萬人身分並詐領逾千萬美元稅款，且涉及假結婚。

Khalid Ouazzani：承認向阿爾蓋達組織提供物質支持，在入籍過程中隱瞞相關活動。

Salah Osman Ahmed：加入索馬利亞恐怖組織「青年黨」，曾赴海外參與武裝戰鬥。

Nada Radovan Tomanic：被控於波士尼亞戰爭期間犯下酷刑罪，入籍時提供虛假陳述。

Ana Zahia Gonzalez：近期經聯邦陪審團裁定，其在入籍過程中涉及多項身分欺詐。

Debashis Ghosh：涉及數百萬美元飛機維修投資詐騙案，入籍誠信遭司法部正式質疑。

某阿根廷籍男子：長期使用虛假身分入境，且具備重大刑事前科。

某東南亞籍男子：透過多重虛假身分規避監控，隱瞞其曾遭驅逐出境的記錄。

某跨國販毒集團成員：被控入籍前已參與毒品走私，並在申請時漏報與組織犯罪之聯繫。

根據最新數據，過去八年間全美僅有約 130 件除籍案，但川普政府目前已要求國土安全部每月呈報 200 起個案。法律專家指出，雖然撤銷國籍在聯邦法院需面臨極高的舉證門檻，但政府透過這波「祭旗」行動，已向全美歸化公民釋放強烈信號：一旦身分取得過程存在瑕疵，國籍將不再是永久的安全保證。

波士頓房租居高不下 待租空房卻激增近 5 成

(Boston Orange綜合編譯) 波士頓出租房市場出現近10年未見的轉折，待租房數量比去年多近五成，包括現有和即將退租房源的「即時可用率」衝上 7.21% 的歷史高位，預示出租房未來供應將非常充裕，租客終於能慢慢挑選，房東也難再強硬漲價。

儘管波士頓市一房一廳（面積約 700 平方英尺）房屋的平均月租雖然現在仍要 3,400 美元，但奧斯頓（Allston）等熱門區已出現 9% 降幅，彰顯了「房找人」現狀。

形成這種現象的主要元因是國際學生人數減少、通膨壓力大增，加上人工智慧（AI）衝擊了就業穩定度。Boston Pads 執行長薩普魯（Demetrios Salpoglou）指出，網路上轉租（Sublet）貼文明顯增加，透露出不少租客因經濟壓力被迫搬遷的訊息。

未來兩年，麻州將有近 10,000 套新房完工，進入房屋市場，主要集中在波士頓海港區（Seaport）、尚莫維爾（Somerville）和劍橋市（Cambridge）。這些新房大都是現代化住宅，將逼使設施老舊的「三層樓木造房（Triple-deckers）」必須大幅降價才能在市場中競爭。

波士頓市的學生租屋市場也因校方興建宿舍而萎縮。東北大學與塔夫茨（Tufts）大學正在新建逾千宿舍床位；國際學生人數又正在減少中，原本以學生為主要出租對象的的奧斯頓（Allston）和芬衛區（Fenway），房東現在面對著「如果不翻新或降價，房子就租不出去」的現實。

Legacy足球隊簽交通協議 White體育場辦比賽時承擔所有接駁交通費用

(Boston Orange編譯) 波士頓市長吳弭（Michelle Wu）今（8 ）日宣佈，市府已與波士頓傳奇足球俱樂部（Boston Legacy Football Club，簡稱 BLFC）簽署「交通路權計畫協議（TAPA）」，確立了白體育場（White Stadium）在舉辦比賽期間的交通規定，所有費用均由BLFC 全額負擔，麻州納稅人不需支付任何成本

波士頓市政府為打造白體育場（White Stadium），保護富蘭克林公園（Franklin Park）及週邊社區，舉辦過近百場的社區意見比賽，並根據「第80號條款（Article 80）」來規定，在比賽期間， 嚴禁球迷在公園或社區街道停車；BLFC 須提供往返森林山（Forest Hills）、拉格斯（Ruggles）、甘迺迪/麻州大學（JFK/UMass）車站及市外衛星停車場的免費接駁車。球迷買票時必須立刻選擇交通方式，協助市府預控流量。

富蘭克林公園聯盟（Franklin Park Coalition）主席瑞奇·湯普森（Rickie Thompson）指出，這份架構為未來管理公園內大規模活動樹立了標準。

市府將於 6 月 11 日在威廉·J·迪維恩高爾夫球場會所（William J. Devine Golf Course Club House）舉行公眾會議。屆時將邀請居民針對「居民停車保護區」邊界、家庭訪客停車證數量等最後細節進行投票與討論。

MAYOR MICHELLE WU ANNOUNCES UPDATE ON TRANSPORTATION ACCESS PLAN AGREEMENT FOR WHITE STADIUM  

New framework sets clear transportation rules for Boston Legacy FC game days at White Stadium, invites residents to help shape key details during the next phase of community engagement

BOSTON – Friday, May 8, 2026 – Mayor Michelle Wu announced that today, city leaders signed a Transportation Access Plan Agreement (TAPA)—a formal set of commitments by a development team that is required of all Article 80 large projects—between the City of Boston and Boston Legacy Football Club (BLFC) for White Stadium. The agreement serves as a framework that sets clear rules for how fans will travel to and from White Stadium on Boston Legacy game days and locks in BLFC’s core commitments, including fully funding the transportation plan, at no cost to taxpayers. 

For the first time, there will be a formalized transportation plan to manage how fans get in and out of White Stadium on BLFC game days while protecting Franklin Park and its surrounding neighborhoods. The plan was shaped by nearly two years of community input, including dozens of public meetings and conversations, and creates a blueprint for managing all large-scale events in Franklin Park moving forward. 

The City will now launch the next round of community engagement and invite residents to help shape key details, such as the boundaries of the resident parking protection zone, the number of visitor parking passes for households, and managing parking on BLFC game days for other users and events at Franklin Park. On Thursday, June 11th, the City invites all interested members of the community to a public meeting at the William J. Devine Golf Course Club House, where residents can weigh in on all of these decisions and more before details are finalized.  

“Franklin Park and White Stadium have hosted some of Boston’s largest gatherings for decades. Now, for the first time, we have a comprehensive plan to get people there safely and efficiently while protecting the beautiful parkland and surrounding neighborhoods,” said Mayor Michelle Wu. “After nearly a hundred meetings over the course of two years, we’ve reached an agreement with Boston Legacy FC to deliver a fully-funded transportation plan that will set the standard for managing big events at Franklin Park—at no cost to taxpayers. We now look forward to hearing directly from residents to finalize key details and we encourage everyone to join an upcoming community meeting.” 

"Franklin Park has long needed a structured approach to managing large events, and this agreement is an important step toward achieving that. We look forward to continuing to work with the City and Boston Legacy FC to make sure the final details protect our park and our neighbors," said Rickie Thompson, President of the Franklin Park Coalition.

The transportation framework includes the following benefits:

For Fans:

• Fans can get to games by public transit, shuttles, biking, walking, or rideshare, and they’ll make this choice when they buy tickets, helping the City plan ahead and minimize impact on the community.

• Free shuttle service will run from Forest Hills, Ruggles, and JFK/UMass stations, plus shuttles from satellite parking lots located outside of the City, all operated and paid for by BLFC

For Residents and Park Users:

• No BLFC spectator parking in Franklin Park or on neighborhood streets will be allowed on Boston Legacy game days

• A dedicated game-day residential parking protection program for on-street parking will be in place and fully enforced—with all enforcement costs covered by BLFC

• A parking reservation system for Franklin Park lots will ensure that zoo visitors, golfers, youth sports families, and other park users always have access to the Park on game days

For Surrounding Neighborhoods:

• Traffic cameras connected to the City's Traffic Management Center will enable real-time monitoring on game days

• A fully electric shuttle fleet for game days targeted for deployment within two years, a direct result of community feedback 

• After the first 10 games of the inaugural season, a report will be submitted to the City and the White Stadium Neighborhood Advisory Council, allowing the transportation plan to be evaluated and adjusted based on what actually happens. This report will also be prepared and reviewed annually after each season with the Council.

"We are committed to being a responsible partner in this community, and that includes how our fans get to and from White Stadium. This transportation plan ensures that match days at White Stadium are not only exciting for fans, but respectful of Franklin Park and its neighbors,” said Jennifer Epstein, Controlling Owner of Boston Legacy FC. “We’re proud to fully fund a model that prioritizes access, sustainability, and accountability from day one.”

The TAPA also includes site plans and operational exhibits, detailing shuttle drop-offs, pick-up zones, and dedicated bike parking areas, that lay the groundwork for the operational details for how to execute the game day transportation plan. Many of the decisions that matter most to residents are still ahead: Join the City and Boston Legacy Football Club on Thursday, June 11th at 6PM at the William J. Devine Golf Course Club House in Franklin Park. With a “community fair” format, the meeting will allow the City to hear feedback on the variety of key transportation plan decisions yet to be made. Additional engagement opportunities will also be announced at boston.gov/whitestadium. This announcement can also be accessed on Instagram, Bluesky, Facebook, Youtube, and TikTok.
