Two Bhutanese refugees living in central Pennsylvania are detained and facing deportation. It’s the latest in a series of cases where the Trump administration is deporting the refugees back to a country that simply kicks them out again.

Getting mail-in ballots ready for counting is a time-consuming process that has slowed results on every election night since 2020, when Pennsylvanians first got the option to cast absentee ballots without an excuse. State lawmakers are considering a measure that would let county election workers begin that work as far as a week out from Election Day.

The State Insurance Department has announced a decrease in employers' costs for workers' compensation insurance could be coming in the near future. A change in costs could help employers save money.

The Philadelphia 76ers, Pittsburgh Penguins and Philadelphia Flyers are all in the midst of playoff games - and that's why Pennsylvania Attorney General Dave Sunday is warning area sports fans to be on guard for scams.

State officials are awarding nearly half a million dollars in grant funding to support urban agriculture projects across Pennsylvanian's cities - including Harrisburg, Lancaster and Reading.

PA Headlines | April 23 | Advocates call for double the funding to rape crisis centers in Pa.

In six of the last ten years, Pennsylvania lawmakers have missed their June 30 deadline to deliver a state budget. New legislation is aimed at ensuring state funding can still get out, even when lawmakers blow their deadline.

Pennsylvania’s decades-old ban on using Medicaid to cover an abortion is on the edge of unraveling. A statewide court ruled Monday that the ban is unconstitutional.

Free testing, treatment and counseling for sexually-transmitted infections is available at all 59 state health centers in Pennsylvania – which is why, state officials say, the overall number of sexually-transmitted infections are declining. 

Pennsylvania may soon adopt the scarlet tanager as its official state migratory bird. The colorful songbird makes its way from South America to Pennsylvania each spring to breed in the state’s forests.

On this Earth Day, more than a third of Pennsylvania is either abnormally dry or in drought status. About 37% of the state is classified as abnormally dry or in moderate to severe drought, according to the latest data from the U.S. Drought Monitor.

Two environmental organizations have filed legal petitions to stop the Department of Homeland Security from opening ICE detention centers in Berks and Schuylkill counties. The Delaware Riverkeeper Network and Green Amendments for the Generations are citing community and health concerns.

Now an update on a story we first reported last week. The death of a 19-year-old inmate at the York County Prison is now ruled a homicide according to Pennsylvania State Police.

Thaddeus Stevens College of Technology is one of 32 Pennsylvania institutions receiving national recognition as an opportunity college, by the Carnegie Foundation.
