☀️Relative warmth is back: mostly sunny with highs in the 50s. Sunset tonight is at 7:03 p.m.

Yesterday was Fall River resident Brian da Camara’s 48th birthday. He spent the morning decked out in Celtics gear — a jacket, hoodie and fitted baseball cap — seeing how long it would take him to get from his home to TD Garden in Boston using the MBTA’s new commuter rail lines, which go from Boston to Fall River and New Bedford.

The ride from Fall River to South Station takes about an hour and a half.

“It’s amazing,” he told GBH’s Jeremy Siegel. “When I heard, I was so psyched. … I don’t have to be stuck in traffic on the way to a Celtics game. Now we can get to Boston and back without having to drive in a car and sitting in traffic.”

Happy belated, Brian.

Four Things to Know

Border czar Tom Homan said he was in Massachusetts last week for a six-day operation in which federal immigration officers detained 370 people. He had promised to “bring hell” to Boston after disagreements with Mayor Michelle Wu over whether the city’s police officers can cooperate with ICE officers. Of the people arrested, ICE officials said 205 had significant criminal convictions or charges, and six were foreign fugitives wanted on charges of murder, drug trafficking, organized crime and money laundering. The agency did not say what charges the remaining 165 detainees face.

Everett city council wants Mayor Carlo DeMaria to stop using taxpayer money to pay for attorneys as he fights a state inspector general report saying he got $180,000 in “improper” bonus payments. DeMaria had two lawyers appear at a city council meeting earlier this month. One charged the city $7,500 for the time (part of a larger $33,000 invoice from the law firm) and the other has not yet submitted an invoice for it. DeMaria has not yet commented on the council’s demand, but said he won’t pay back the $180,000 without due process.

Refugee resettlement: New England organizations that have helped refugees start new lives here for years are cutting staff and the programs they offer because of the Trump administration’s suspension of the U.S. Refugee Admissions Program that began in January. One example: The International Institute of New England recently had to lay off 13 people who had worked helping unaccompanied minors, according to senior vice president Xan Weber. “We expect that [if] the Office of Refugee Resettlement receives less and less funding, or doesn’t renew its contracts, we’ll be laying off up to 80% of our staff across all of our programs, including resettlement,” Weber said.

Somerville’s PorchFest, set for May 10 this year, will have some new rules. The DIY music festival has grown from 50 acts in 2011 to 400 last year, and organizers had been rethinking where to hold performances even before the band Guster drew massive, street-clogging crowds last year. “If you came the year before, you know, Cedar Street, Summer Street, some of the major streets were packed,” said Gregory Jenkins, director of the Somerville Arts Council. This year, there won’t be performances on major thoroughfares like Broadway and Somerville Avenue. There will also be more emergency management volunteers with walkie-talkies — and more portable toilets. Applications for bands and host porches are now open.

New Middlesex Jail unit aims to improve well-being of older adults in custody

Jails are typically not meant for long-term stays. The people inside them are either waiting for trial, or serving sentences of less than 2 ½ years. People serving longer sentences for felony convictions do so in prisons, which are run by the state’s Department of Correction.

All of that to say: jails are not usually designed with the needs of older people in mind. But the Middlesex Jail in Billerica is seeing an increase in the number of older adults who come in: right now, about 10 percent of people in the jail are older than 55. The jail has opened a new section, the Older Adult Re-Entry unit, with their needs in mind.

“A jail is not just a fortress on a hill. It’s part of a community. And if you treat it like a fortress on a hill and you don’t have the community involvement or understanding of what you do, then the mission of that jail will fail,” said Middlesex Sheriff Peter Koutoujian.

The unit has raised beds and single bunks, mattresses with a bit more support, grab bars and non-slip floors in the showers as well as fitness equipment. There are currently 14 people in it, just under half of its maximum capacity of 33.

One of them is Roger Richardson, who is serving a two-year sentence for a probation violation. He said he’s been in and out of jail for most of his life. His 60th birthday is in May, and his scheduled release a few months after that.

“We do a lot of things [here] to make you think more,” he said. “It just clears my mind better, instead of forgetting things. It’s helping me a lot … I have a good plan. So I’m going to follow through with it on paper. And I’m going to work hard.”
