On today’s Hello Houston, Ernie, Frank and Celeste weigh in on today’s top stories at the top of each hour including National Guard troops being deployed to Los Angeles to disperse protests sparked by immigration raids, President Trump’s travel ban, and ABC News correspondent Terry Moran’s suspension.
Also, in the first hour of the show, we talk with UH Law Center professor Emily Berman who continues the discussion on the ICE protests in Los Angeles and explains what presidential powers President Trump has in this situation.
Plus, our hosts share their thoughts on the results of last night’s 2025 Tony Awards.
In the second hour, we hear the latest installment of University of Houston professor and Party Politics co-host Brandon Rottinghaus’ new feature Texperts. In this episode, Brandon breaks down the Houston City Council as well as hears the perspectives of two individuals involved in city government.
