U.S. Senators Hickenlooper and Bennet Assess Flood Damage in South Fork, Colorado

U.S. Senators John Hickenlooper and Michael Bennet, accompanied by U.S. Representative Jeff Hurd, visited Rio Grande and Mineral counties in Colorado to survey the extensive damage caused by recent flooding. The congressional delegation toured the impacted areas and received a briefing from the Southwest Incident Management Team, local emergency responders, and agency officials. The briefing detailed widespread damage to homes, businesses, roads, bridges, dams, and public lands. A significant concern highlighted was the prolonged closure of U.S. Highway 160 over Wolf Creek Pass, which has sustained considerable damage, with repair operations currently underway.

Environmental Group Sues Boulder County Over Aerial Herbicide Spraying Plans

Environmental Group Sues Boulder County Over Aerial Herbicide Spraying Plans

Grounds for Action, an environmental group, has filed a lawsuit against Boulder County, Colorado, seeking to halt the county's plans for aerial herbicide applications at three open space properties: Heil Valley Ranch’s Red Hill area, Hall Ranch, and Rabbit Mountain. The lawsuit, filed under the Endangered Species Act, names the Boulder County commissioners and Boulder County Parks and Open Space Director Jason Seuc as defendants. The group is concerned about the potential harm to the Preble’s meadow jumping mouse, a species protected under the Endangered Species Act. The county plans to use drones to apply indaziflam, an herbicide, to target invasive cheatgrass, which county staff describe as a widespread weed that can suppress native species and create a fire hazard. Grounds for Action is requesting a 90-day suspension of the program to allow the court to hear the case, and if denied, plans to seek an emergency order to pause applications. The lawsuit alleges that indaziflam remains active in the soil for...

Extreme Rain Raises Navajo Reservoir by 60 Feet

Extreme Rain Raises Navajo Reservoir by 60 Feet

Back-to-back extreme rain events in late October and early November 2026 caused significant flooding across the Four Corners region of the U.S. Southwest. The Navajo Reservoir, located in northern New Mexico and southern Colorado, rose by nearly 60 feet (18 meters) during this period, reaching its highest level since August 2019. The storms alleviated short-term drought conditions but triggered damaging floods, particularly in Pagosa Springs, Colorado, where the San Juan River reached major flood stage twice. Experts attribute the heavy rainfall to a low-pressure system energized by unusually high ocean temperatures and El Niño patterns.

Colorado Counties Host 'Warrant Forgiveness' Events to Address Minor Offenses

Colorado Counties Host 'Warrant Forgiveness' Events to Address Minor Offenses

Prosecutors in Boulder, Jefferson, and Denver counties in Colorado recently held 'warrant forgiveness' events, part of a program called Fresh Start. These events offered individuals with outstanding arrest warrants for minor crimes an opportunity to resolve their legal issues without immediate arrest. Approximately 30 people attended the event in Boulder County, where law enforcement guaranteed they would not be arrested on site. Christian Gardner-Wood, a chief deputy District Attorney who organized the Boulder County event, noted that this initiative has been running for about seven years, occurring once or twice annually. The program aims to provide a pathway for individuals to clear minor warrants, such as those for forgotten traffic tickets or missed court dates, which can otherwise escalate into more significant legal problems.

Colorado Federal Judges Criticize ICE for Disregarding Court Orders on Detainee Releases

Colorado Federal Judges Criticize ICE for Disregarding Court Orders on Detainee Releases

Federal judges in Colorado have expressed strong disapproval of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) for allegedly ignoring court orders related to the release and re-arrest of immigrants. In a series of hastily scheduled hearings, judges from the U.S. District Court of Colorado questioned top Colorado immigration supervisors regarding instances where detainees were held longer than ordered or re-arrested shortly after being released by judicial decree. U.S. District Judge Charlotte Sweeney specifically questioned Nathan Rasper, acting field director for ICE in Colorado, about the re-detention of immigrants after court-ordered releases, stating that ICE is not in a position to monitor its own conduct regarding legality and that such actions constitute a due process and constitutional violation. Advocacy lawyers estimate at least 18 individuals, and likely many more, have been affected. The controversy stems from an increase in petitions for detainee releases, particularly 'writs of habeas corpus,...
