It’s been two weeks since ICE picked up immigration activist Jeanette Vizguerra and her lawyers are now arguing that her detainment is unconstitutional (https://www.dropbox.com/paper/ep/redirect/external-link?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.denverpost.com%2F2025%2F03%2F28%2Fjeanette-vizguerra-immigration-hearing-detention-first-amendment%2F&hmac=Y3%2FcaOyEtg8z%2B3ZQET5whDBH79Ky4bQOsJKe6MFUgtM%3D) and violates the First Amendment. Meanwhile at the statehouse, lawmakers are debating the financial impacts of reproductive healthcare access on the state’s budget (https://www.dropbox.com/paper/ep/redirect/external-link?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.denverpost.com%2F2025%2F03%2F25%2Fcolorado-bill-enshrine-abortion-access-legislature-save-money-medicaid%2F&hmac=ubnNl2iBUUQb%2BWs%2B4Ft5rei%2FgCLzA8AGP3EjHXjPNCM%3D) after voters enshrined the right to abortion in the Colorado constitution last year. Host Bree Davies is joined by Denver Post immigration reporter Megan Ulu-Lani Boyanton (https://www.denverpost.com/author/megan-ulu-lani-boyanton/) to discuss her latest coverage, and a listener calls in with a list of brass bands to know around the Mile High.
