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.

The city of Durango has proclaimed April 19, 2026 as Ross Anderson Day, marking twenty years since the Native American speed skier set a U.S. speed-skiing record of 154.06 miles per hour. We’ll also hear from a researcher working in Bears Ears who is turning to crowdfunding to continue his work after losing a federal grant. Then, we head to Utah, where students at the University of Utah are building community through the student Drag Club. And we close the show with a conversation with Aspen Public Radio Executive Director Breeze Anderson who talks about a recent lawsuit involving Aspen Public Radio, KSUT, and CPR. The stations challenged an executive order from President Trump that cut funding to NPR and PBS. In March, a federal judge ruled in favor of the stations.

We also visit a community choir in western Colorado that’s bringing people together through music and connection.

This week on the Regional Roundup, we look at concerns over a proposed move by the U.S. Forest Service from Washington, D.C. to Salt Lake City, and what that could mean for public lands management in the West. We’ll also visit a conserved organic orchard in Western Colorado, and we hear about new composting efforts in Aspen aimed at cutting greenhouse gas emissions from food waste. Plus, a longtime avalanche rescue dog in Telluride retires after years of service, and a conversation with Denis Moynihan of Democracy Now! about the new documentary Steal This Story Please! and the importance of independent journalism.
