On this week’s Regional Roundup, we look at how communities across the region are grappling with immigration enforcement. In Durango, Colorado, the District Attorney has filed charges against a federal immigration officer over an alleged assault on a protester outside an U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement facility in October 2025. In Glenwood Springs, city officials have revoked the permit for a local ICE facility. And we hear about a theater project that brings immigrants to the stage, creating space for them to tell their own stories in their own words.
