Philly Proud Boy Freed, New Experiment for Kensington, E-A-G-L-E-S!


Listen Later

It’s the Friday News Roundup! The team is talking about the new court opening in Kensington, how President Trump just let Philly’s top Proud Boy out of prison, and Mayor Parker’s spelling slip-up. Plus, if the Eagles win Sunday we get a Super Bowl. Host Trenae Nuri is joined by Matt Katz, executive producer of City Cast Philly, and Siani Colon, newsletter editor of Hey Philly. Go Birds! 

Our Friday news roundups are powered by great local journalism: 

  • New ‘wellness court’ in Kensington for drug users launches Wednesday, as police prepare to ramp up drug enforcement
  • Trump commutes sentences of Jan. 6 rioters, including former Philadelphia Proud Boys leader
  • ICE has been freed to make arrests at churches. More immigrants took sanctuary in Philadelphia than anywhere else.
  • Mayor Parker’s administration says Philly’s sanctuary city policy remains despite threats from Trump

  • We’re doing a survey to learn more about our listeners. We’d be grateful if you took the survey at citycast.fm/surveyit’s only 7 minutes long. You’ll be doing us a big favor. Plus, anyone who takes the survey will be eligible to win a $250 Visa gift card–and City Cast City swag.
