Search ArticlesUtah ICE arrests keep climbing. New data shows where
2026 is on track to be a record-breaking year for U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement in Utah. The agency made 3,467 arrests from January through July, up from 2,116 over the same period the previous year. That’s on top of a threefold increase in arrests in 2025 when President Donald Trump returned to office. Here’s where the agency has been most active in Utah during the federal government’s current fiscal year, which began Oct. 1, 2025. The data runs through Aug. 5, 2026.
23 research facilities to close as part of the Forest Service HQ move to SLC
The U.S. Forest Service is closing 23 research and development stations in more than a dozen states as part of an organizational overhaul under President Donald Trump that is intended to trim costs and concentrate the agency’s resources in Western states, officials said Thursday. The work being done at the research stations will continue at other sites, Forest Service Associate Chief Chris French said in an interview.
Remembering Gloria Steinem’s influence on Latter-day Saint feminism
“Whoever said the feminist revolution isn't happening in Utah is wrong,” Gloria Steinem gleefully once said, according to The New York Times, at a 1975 women’s conference in Salt Lake City. Steinem, the trailblazing women’s equality activist and author, died Wednesday at age 92. Her legacy extends to Utah, where she influenced — and was influenced by — feminists in The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
Conservationists sue to undo Trump’s Bears Ears and Grand Staircase downsizing
Conservation and environmental groups sued to undo the slashing of Bears Ears and Grand Staircase-Escalante national monuments, arguing President Donald Trump's proclamations violate the Antiquities Act. The groups say the 1906 federal law gives presidents the power to establish national monuments but not the ability to shrink or undo those created by their predecessors.
NIMBYism can slow homelessness solutions. But it hasn’t stopped this Utah city
Affording a home in an increasingly expensive Utah can be a tall task. Building housing for people who are struggling isn’t a walk in the park, either. Residents who say Not In My Backyard — an attitude known as NIMBYism — have presented an obstacle to affordable development for years, both in and across the country. “NIMBYism we deal with all the time at the city level, not just with homeless shelters or low-income housing,” St. George Mayor Jimmie Hughes said.
Washington Terrace pumps the brakes on Flock cameras
Mark Allen has been mayor of Washington Terrace since 2000. In his 26 years, Flock cameras have been one of the most controversial topics the 9,000-resident city has discussed, right up there with backyard chickens. “Flocks have just blown up, you know, and everybody's, seems like everybody's against Flock,” he said in an interview. Unlike chickens, Flock cameras are off the table, at least for now. The city council voted unanimously to cancel the camera trial before it even began.
