  • Carlos Frias filed a lawsuit against WLRN, alleging wrongful termination and discrimination against Latino staff.
  • Catalina Garcia, anchor for NPR's 'All Things Considered,' resigned in solidarity with the ousted 'Sundial' team.
  • Frias claims he was fired after complaining about an editor's remark that his show was 'sounding very Latino'.
  • Social media users and community members have rallied behind Frias, with some calling for a boycott of WLRN.
  • WLRN's CEO has not responded to requests for comment, amidst allegations of a broader anti-Latino bias within the station.
