    ICE Deported Him Once—Now He's Charged With Kidnapping Idaho Girl | Ep 139

    ICE deported him once, and now he's charged with kidnapping a 15-year-old girl in Star, Idaho. Jose Lozano-Flores faces 8 felonies, is held on a $1 million bond and has an ICE detainer on him. So what does deportation actually mean if someone can just walk back across the border?  This week's Midweek Report also covers Trump asking the Supreme Court to speed up third-country deportations, Blaine County, Pocatello, and Caldwell pushing back on Flock cameras, a massive 600-megawatt data center planned south of Boise, 59 Idaho doctors coming out against Prop 1, AG Labrador taking on blue states, Boise's 9,000 empty school seats, and the officer in the Twin Falls In-N-Out shooting being cleared.

    Idaho Lets Prison Guards Serve ICE Warrants | Ep 136

    Idaho just let prison guards serve ICE warrants inside state prisons — expanding Idaho's 287(g) partnership statewide. This week's Midweek Report breaks down what the Idaho Department of Correction deal actually allows, plus the Idaho Supreme Court ordering a rewrite of Prop 1 abortion ballot language, Charlie Kirk's accused killer heading to a death-penalty trial, and a federal judge freezing Trump's mail-voting rule.

    Trump Unlocks 45 Million Acres for Logging—But Idaho Already Won | Ep 134

    Trump just unlocked 45 MILLION acres for logging — reversing the 25-year Roadless Rule — but Idaho already won. We beat DC to it in 2008 with the Idaho Roadless Rule, so not a single new Idaho acre is in this fight. Why the rest of the West isn't so lucky.  That headline story leads a packed week. A federal judge who struck down part of Idaho's abortion law and the state's push to overturn it, a small-town vote that could ban flock/surveillance cameras statewide, and wildfire spending topping $31 million plus so much more!

    Federal Judge Guts Idaho's Abortion Ban Again | Ep 133

    A federal judge just gutted Idaho's abortion ban again — carving out a "health" exception that AG Raul Labrador vows to appeal. All of this while ICE arrests jump nearly 800% amid new Flock camera surveillance questions in Twin Falls.  This week's report also covers the Idaho GOP's new platform language targeting IVF and surrogacy, a sudden police chief retirement in Caldwell, an In-N-Out shooting survivor's homecoming, Idaho's major win against invasive quagga mussels, and a Meridian mother's record-breaking swim across the English Channel.

    Post Falls Says No to Flock Cameras | Ep 132

    Post Falls says no to Flock cameras: Mayor Randy Westlund refuses to let his city become a surveillance state, even as private businesses buy license-plate tech without regulation.  This week's report also covers a Moscow attorney's long-shot fight to reopen Bryan Kohberger's case, a viral Eagle ICE stop that turned out to be lawful, and the increasingly competitive Risch-Achilles Senate race. Plus, President Trump heads west to shore up midterm support on the economy, and so much more!
