As the border continues to play an important policy role in the upcoming 2024 presidential election, former President and current Republican nominee Donald Trump criticized the government’s immigration process during a campaign speech on Saturday, Sept. 28, in Wisconsin. He once again called out the U. S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) app—a mobile application that hosts a single portal to multiple CBP services, including a space for immigrants to schedule appointments to present themselves at a port of entry and for carriers to request cargo inspections.

JERUSALEM — The Israeli military said Sunday it has killed another high-ranking Hezbollah official in an airstrike as the Lebanese militant group was reeling from a string of devastating blows and the killing of its overall leader, Hassan Nasrallah.

Westminster is making it clear the city doesn’t want to increase access to hikers and cyclists visiting the Rocky Flats National Wildlife Refuge — the one-time site of a Cold War nuclear weapons plant that continues to spark health worries 30 years after it closed. The city last week became the second community surrounding the 6,200-acre federal property to withdraw from an intergovernmental agreement supporting construction of a tunnel and bridge into the refuge, home to more than 200 wildlife species, including prairie falcons, deer, elk, coyotes and songbirds. Broomfield exited the $4.7 million Federal Lands Access Program agreement four years ago, and both cities point to potential threats to public health from residual contamination at the site — most notably the plutonium that was used in nuclear warhead production over four decades — for their withdrawal. “I think we have a moral obligation to get out of this,” Westminster Councilman Obi Ezeadi said during a meeting Monday night. Westminster’s withdrawal comes less than a month after a federal judge denied several environmental organizations a preliminary injunction that would have stopped the project cold.

Denver Health spent much of the last year laying the groundwork for a proposed sales tax increase that its leaders see as crucial for shoring up the system’s long-strained budget. But just as the Denver City Council was considering sending that tax to the ballot in June, news emerged that Mayor Mike Johnston was teeing up an even bigger ask for voters: a new dedicated sales tax — the largest in city history — to pay for his affordable housing initiatives. Now both are on Denver’s November ballot, and if both pass they would add a combined 0.84 percentage points to the city’s effective 8.81% sales tax rate — pushing it to 9.65%, among the higher rates in the state.

Armed with a roll of stickers and GoPro cameras, Mark Thompson and his crew patrolled the Sports Castle Lofts construction site at Broadway and 10th Street near downtown Denver. The team calls itself the “Payroll Fraud Task Force,” aimed at rooting out wage theft and employee misclassification at job sites across Colorado. On a recent September morning, the team talked up workers on their lunch break, asking if they’re being paid correctly and on time.
