Hosts: Erin Rider and Rusty Cannon 

Trump’s first 100 days: The economy and immigration 
President Trump has passed the 100-day mark of his second presidency. The first part of this term hasn't been without controversy – whether it's tariffs, the economy, immigration, the rule of law, or DOGE – we've had plenty to discuss through the last few months. Our discussion on the President's achievements and controversies covers tariffs and the economy, as well as the border and immigration. 
 
The role of local law enforcement in immigration policy and practice 
Utah law enforcers find themselves in the middle of the debate on immigration. KSL 5 TV continues its series ‘Immigration 2025: The Dream Divided’ by taking a deeper look at immigration policies and the role local law enforcement agencies play in those processes. The Inside Sources hosts share their takes on how local law enforcement might partner with ICE. 
 
Wisconsin judge accused of helping illegal immigrant evade authorities 
More developments today in the case of a Wisconsin judge accused of helping an illegal immigrant run and hide from federal immigration officials. Judge Hannah Dugan was arrested last week. Now, the Wisconsin Supreme Court is suspending her indefinitely while the case plays out. Erin and Rusty discuss how this case could affect trust in the judiciary. 
 
Power rates set to increase for most Utahns 
Power bills are going up, but not by as much as previously proposed. The Utah Public Service Commission will allow Rocky Mountain Power to increase power rates; that would amount to $87.2 million – a far cry from the earlier $667.3 million ask from Rocky Mountain Power. Inside Sources talks about the change and what the average Utah family can expect to see. 
 
Utah partnership with Wyoming, Idaho to further develop nuclear energy 
Governor Spencer Cox and the State Legislature have been pushing for Utah to grow into a national leader in energy development. Now, the state is joining forces with Idaho and Wyoming to further nuclear development and work together for "commonsense federal policies" around nuclear energy. Emy Lesofski, Energy Advisor and Utah Office of Energy Development Director joins the program to talk about the partnership and what it means for the future of energy in Utah. 
 
Salt Lake County Council approves sale of part of the Salt Palace 
Smith Entertainment Group, which owns the Utah Jazz and the Utah Hockey Club, has the approval from the Salt Lake County Council to purchase part of the Salt Palace convention center downtown. The sale includes about a dozen parcels of county-owned land -- roughly 6.5 acres. The sale price? A little over $55.4 million dollars. If everything goes as planned, partial demolition of the Salt Palace will begin in 2027. 
 
Renovation plans for the Delta Center released 
Major renovations are coming to the Delta Cente, and now we're getting a better idea of the kind of renovations. Smith Entertainment Group released plans this morning, showing how they'll redesign the Delta Center to make it more conducive to both basketball and hockey. The Inside Sources hosts share their thoughts on the plans.
