INRIX’s report estimates that Boston drivers lose the city almost three billion dollars each year because they’re stuck in traffic. INRIX says this loss affects individuals as well as businesses, through their pocketbooks and their productivity — and Uber driver Edvaldo Varela, who lives in East Boston, says Boston’s traffic has hurt his ability to do his job.

President Donald Trump increased the federal government's power last week to find, arrest, and deport any immigrants who are in the country illegally, not just those who have committed serious crimes. This has led to reported raids by the Immigration and Customs Enforcement Agency throughout the country.

There is confusion among politicians, including Boston Mayor Marty Walsh. Walsh said he has heard conflicting reports from the Trump administration and the State Department about who the raids are targeting. The Mayor, wanting to subdue any fear or anxiety felt by Boston residents, spoke at the Islamic Society of Boston Cultural Center in Roxbury on Friday.

Bostonians continue to stage rallies following President Trump's inauguration last month. This morning, demonstrators gathered in front of Boston's Environmental Protection Agency building to show their support for EPA workers. BU News reporter Erin Wade was in Post Office Square.

National Security Adviser Michael Flynn resigned late last night amid controversy about his contact with the Russian ambassador. In his resignation letter, Flynn said he "inadvertently briefed the vice president-elect and others with incomplete information." Previously he claimed he had never spoken to the Russians about sanctions imposed on Russia in the final days of President Obama's administration.

His resignation comes just 25 days into the Trump administration, which Robert G. Loftis, a professor of international relations at Boston University, said is a new record. Loftis spoke with us this morning about Flynn's resignation and what the president should look for in his next national security adviser.
