Show Notes

Athens-Clarke County Mayor Kelly Girtz held a news conference to share new safety proposals and refute claims that the local government has been acting as a “sanctuary city” for people who entered the U.S. illegally.  

Protesters repeatedly interrupted the mayor of Athens as he spoke for the first time since the murder of Augusta University nursing student Laken Riley on the University of Georgia campus.
