ICE Raids Park, Shapiro Denounces Political Violence, Krasner Warns of Military Invasion

Listen Later

This is our Friday News Roundup, with host Trenae Nuri and executive producer Matt Katz. We talk about how the Trump administration is removing exhibits about slavery from Independence National Historic Park, where ICE raided on Monday morning, why District Attorney Larry Krasner is holding town hall meetings warning of a U.S. military invasion on the city, what the reaction to Governor Josh Shapiro’s big speech on political violence says about this moment in history, and why we’re just as happy about the reopening of MLK Drive’s bridge as we are about the opening of Calder Gardens.

Our Friday news roundups are powered by great local journalism: 

  • Josh Shapiro’s GOP challenger says he made his anti-violence speech about himself instead of Charlie Kirk
  • ‘Despicable’: Sen. McCormick condemns senior Penn administrator's posts about Charlie Kirk shooting
  • They talked about Charlie Kirk’s death on social media. Now, they’re getting death threats.
  • ICE arrested several people in a South Philly park raid, immigration group says
  • Inside Pa.’s largest immigrant detention center: Violence, desperation, little oversight
  • MLK Drive Bridge set to reopen after $20 million rehabilitation
