En cuanto a lo que está generando temor en las comunidades latinas, organizaciones como LUPEC, con sede en Ogden, siguen señalando la retórica de la administración Trump, más que acciones concretas en el terreno.

When it comes to prediction markets, if it “walks like a duck and quacks like a duck,” Gov. Spencer Cox said. “It's a duck” — meaning the apps are gambling, and should be banned in Utah.

ICE sometimes holds people overnight at its temporary detention facility in Ogden, in violation of conditions set by the city planning commission in 2000. Could the city do anything about it?

The agency has been buying warehouses across the country for massive new detention centers. Previous rumors of a detention center in Salt Lake City were met with protests and outcry from city and county mayors.

It’s gotten much harder for immigrants held by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement to get out on bond. Habeas corpus petitions often work, but there’s a catch: they’re very expensive.

It’s not a new immigration enforcement tactic for the Trump admin, but a string of recent activity inside Salt Lake City’s courthouse has alarmed public defenders.

“Our parents used to worry about our futures, but now it's the opposite. We worry about their futures,” East High School senior Leslie Hernandez said.
