The top local stories this evening from KERA News:
Last year, Tarrant County signed an agreement with Immigration and Customs Enforcement to help the federal agency detain undocumented immigrants. On Thursday, that partnership was at the center of a forum hosted by the Fort Worth Hispanic Chamber of Commerce, and as KERA’s Christopher Connelly reports, it was also a cause for protest.
Other stories this evening:
- In 1968, NASA launched Apollo 8, the first manned spacecraft to orbit the Moon and return to Earth. In this week’s Art&Seek Artist Spotlight, the Verdigris Ensemble – a new North Texas choral group – takes reporter Hady Mawajdeh on an interstellar journey inspired by that trip nearly 50 years ago.
You can listen to North Texas stories weekdays at 8:22 a.m. and 6:20 p.m. on KERA 90.1 FM.
