📰 News we're reading

• Plenty of thrills for fans, but in the end Chelmsford falls to Andover (bostonherald.com) — Chelmsford High football fans saw a back-and-forth thriller at Simonian Stadium, but the Lions ultimately fell 48–36 to Andover after several costly second-half turnovers. The loss drops Chelmsford to 1–1, and the team quickly turns the page, returning to Merrimack Valley Conference play when they host Dracut at home next Friday night.
   

• Attorneys accuse Chelmsford immigration judge of bias in failure to follow protocol (wgbh.org) — Attorneys are raising serious concerns about due process at Chelmsford Immigration Court, alleging a temporary judge rapidly ordered deportations and pushed to end asylum cases without full hearings, particularly for Brazilian applicants. They say the judge leaned on government lawyers, rushed complex cases into 60‑day timelines, and treated minor paperwork issues as grounds to terminate claims, potentially affecting many local immigrant families.
