A hundred people were detained at a nightclub in Colorado Springs. It was an immigration enforcement raid carried out by several law enforcement agencies, with a twist. Then, rent prices in metro Denver are going down, which means tenants can negotiate for the first time in a long time. Plus, you’ll hear updates on social media regulation and the state budget. And, when Saigon fell 50 years ago it led to the foundation of Vietnamese communities in Denver. The future of their community hub is in question as the first generation reaches retirement age.
