Jim Avila rocked.
I was lucky to work with Jim when he came to work in local news in San Diego.
He loved being the smart guy in the room with younger reporters. We loved him back.
He’d send the kindest messages after stories. Like this one on my last day. He made me feel like a million bucks

Outgoing conservative DougCo school board member Becky Myers said the quiet part out loud. Then, just a minute later, she denied they were trying to railroad it through before the new board took over.
Regardless, the less than subtle attempt failed.

This may be the attention issues taking control of my brain in a guaranteed to be long Denver City Council meeting…
But isn’t the ceiling in this room very cool?
@ Trump White House ballroom: take notes.

Maybe my favorite interview I’ve ever had as a reporter. And it’s not even in person!
This is Angelina Godoy. A researcher and professor at the Univ. of Washington.

Colorado’s two largest airports are not airing the new Kristi Noem shutdown-blaming video at TSA checkpoints.
But the reasons for not airing it are quite different.

Thousands of police departments use Flock license plate tracking cameras to solve crimes. Flock has assured the public that immigration agents don’t have direct access to the camera data.
We found public records in Loveland, Colorado showing that’s not true. Flock now admits it gave CBP an account.

We did show a $4,200 estimated invoice for requested records of who has run searches of Loveland PD data, and used its account to run searches, since January.
It took a while, but Denver provided records for a near-identical request, at no charge.

UPDATE: Loveland Police released a statement tonight, saying it stopped sharing data access with Border Patrol after filling our open records request this week.
Police Chief Tim Doran refuted Flock’s claim that the agency had a 1:1 agreement with Border Patrol.

NEW: 🧊ICE is buying an eye-scanning technology to help deport people.
Colorado has laws to regulate how local agencies use facial recognition technology. But there is no overarching federal law expressly regulating it.

The Rockies were shutout and gave up three touchdowns at home earlier this year. 21-0.
Two touchdowns and a field goal on the road is nothin.

In just 30 minutes, we counted 462 cars with Colorado plates headed toward the Wyoming fireworks stores.

Doran incorrectly said this line in a previous story is false:
“Immigration agents are not supposed to have direct access to the network.”
Doran said it’s “suggesting we were violating Colorado state laws. This is patently false.”
Flock confirmed that line in our reporting is accurate:

The chief criticized the 9NEWS’ reporting that uncovered the ICE searches, which he said, “misled readers and viewers.”
His statement has nearly 800 words, but none of them deny that LPD gave the ATF access, or that the ATF then used the access for ICE.

The Loveland, #Colorado Police Department's license plate tracking account is being used for 'ICE' searches.
Loveland Police said it gave the ATF access to LPD's Flock account, and an ATF employee is responsible for the searches that listed "ICE" as the reasoning.

We used to always debate if an Alabama football team could beat a bad NFL team. The answer was no.
But do you think a Triple A baseball team would be better than 6-32, and down 19-0 in the 5th inning of a game?
(yes, I know what you’re thinking. This Rockies team is a triple A team) #denver

Nine International students studying at universities across Colorado have had their student visas revoked by the Department of Homeland Security.
We’re still working to learn who these students are and if they participated in activism the Trump administration doesn’t like.
