This week, immigration agents detained dozens of people in Austin, and Texas Governor Greg Abbott ordered state officers to partner with federal officers in carrying out President Donald Trump’s efforts in deporting people. For today’s Friday News Roundup, host Nikki DaVaughn is joined by Hey Austin newsletter editor Kelsey Bradshaw and executive producer Eva Ruth Moravec in discussing all the latest developments. Plus, it’s time to celebrate Lunar New Year and the year of the snake — and we’ve got tips on how to partake in the fun. And, stay tuned for our weekend picks. See you at meat church?
