Lancaster County’s sheriff is facing public pressure to end his office’s cooperation with Immigration and Customs Enforcement. In a city widely known as America’s refugee capital, residents want ICE out. 

State agriculture officials are trying to stem a spike in avian flu cases among Pennsylvania poultry flocks. State agriculture secretary Rusell Redding said the devastation is unprecedented.

Crowds were buzzing at the President's House on Philadelphia's Independence Mall late last week, as National Park Service employees reinstalled an exhibit on slavery.

The Pine Creek Rail Trail is named Pennsylvania’s 2026 Trail of the Year. The 62-mile trail through Lycoming and Tioga counties stretches from Jersey Shore to Wellsboro.

Sunday marked one year since a shooting at York's UPMC Memorial Hospital that killed West York Police Officer Andrew Duarte.

Following news of the Trump administration's planned ICE processing facility in Berks County, a meeting is in the works connecting local elected officials with Department of Homeland Security officials.

Much of Pennsylvania is experiencing extremely dry or drought conditions, despite recent rain and snow. 83% of the state is classified as abnormally dry or within moderate to severe drought conditions.

PA Headlines | Feb. 23 | Lancaster residents want ICE out.

The Pennsylvania Gaming Control Board is reporting a significant increase in revenue from all forms of gaming during January 2026. Central Pa.-area casinos helped contribute to the gains.

Pharmaceutical giant Johnson & Johnson recently announced plans to build a new cell therapy manufacturing plant in the greater Philadelphia region.

The state will contribute more than $41 million towards the project in tax credits and grants.

More than a dozen Harrisburg residents are displaced after fire swept through six rowhomes early Sunday morning.

A York County woman is dead after driving the wrong way on Route 283 in Lancaster County Saturday night.

State and local officials say they're worried about the impact an ICE detention center could have upon Schuylkill and Berks counties' rural infrastructure, such as its water and sewer systems, as well as EMS departments.

And a deep dive: Electric bills in Pennsylvania and elsewhere have been rising faster than the rate of inflation. In his recent budget address, Governor Josh Shapiro blamed the sudden increase on an organization called P-J-M. What is it, and how does it affect your bills?

Did you know that if every sustaining circle member gives as little as $12 more a month, we'd close the gap caused by federal funding cuts? Increase your gift at https://witf.org/increase or become a new sustaining member atwww.witf.org/givenow.

PA Headlines | Feb. 24 | Pa. gaming revenue is rising.

Pennsylvania is working with the USDA to try and control the spread of Avian Flu across the Commonwealth's poultry industry.

Many state employees’ conversations with artificial intelligence will likely remain shielded from public view — following a ruling this month from Pennsylvania’s open records agency.

A new hospital is preparing to open in Northern York County.

Meantime, a hospital in northern Pennsylvania, Bradford Regional Medical Center, will close its inpatient, emergency and long-term care services by mid-2026. The closures mark a continuing downward trend for Pennsylvania’s rural hospitals.

A Juniata County hunter is being charged in connection with the shooting death of another hunter within his deer hunting party on December 2nd.

As data centers are proposed and built across the state - and drawing backlash - new figures are emerging about their potential long-term costs. The Shapiro administration’s latest budget estimates show Pennsylvania could lose out on about $2 billion in revenue by mid-2031 due to a tax break that some lawmakers want to repeal.
