Utah’s ICE Fight Isn’t Over

Episode Description

On today’s episode, Maria Shilaos, a veteran KSL NewsRadio anchor, goes inside the fight over immigration detention in Utah. Community groups are still pushing back against a proposed Salt Lake City facility, and Dr. Kate Sugarman explains why doctors are warning about the health risks of ICE detention and why she believes public pressure still matters.

Then, investigative reporter Daniella Rivera breaks down what she found after contacting 12 Utah law enforcement agencies that signed agreements with ICE. Most agencies would not sit down for an interview. Public records uncovered new questions about training, reimbursement, and contract language that could limit what local officials say publicly.

Plus, prosecutors are expected to seek the death penalty again in the Douglas Carter case, fire danger has homeowners rethinking their landscaping, Utah Mammoth prospects report for development camp, and Tim Glenn takes listeners inside the new Museum of Utah, where the Mormon Meteor III gets a spotlight-worthy home.
