Thornton thumbs up for Healthy Farmers Markets
because of their popularity with ornton residents.
“Last year, it was wildly successful,” Council member Justin Martinez said. “I talked to people at the events and people were so grateful.”
e City of ornton looks ready to give more than $19,000 to provide sta ng to keep at least ve Healthy Farmers Markets running in the city through 2025.
e $19,443 in funding will not come from the current 2025 budget but will be held in reserve from the contract services fund, according to a city sta report to council members.
e long-term viability of the Health Farmers Markets is not clear as Adams County is conducting a market analysis of ways to keep the markets operating. e markets began in 2018 to provide fresh produce at an a ordable cost, the city sta report states.
But at a study session this week, enough council members said they would support keeping the markets viable for now
“It seems like a solid decision, and I think about the people who have used the markets since 2018,” Martinez said. “I feel it’s my duty to help them out.”
Besides fresh food, the markets also o er community health resources. Patrons can register for food bene ts, COVID-19 tests, harm reduction supplies, bus vouchers, vaccinations, blood pressure checks, nutrition education and produce vouchers for those with nancial hardships, according to the sta report.
e American Heart Association, Adams County Health Department and Human Services, and the City of ornton are part of a Steering Committee that runs the markets.
e challenges facing the program include local farmers who are cutting back on production because of federal funding cuts. ere is also no funding to hire sta
to run the markets this year.
ere is $194,306 in Adams County American Rescue Plan Act – ARPA – funding for produce vouchers through 2026. However, there is no funding that could replace the ARPA dollars, once they runs out, according to the sta report.
City council members were told the markets could continue this year with ve partial day markets hosted at various Adams County locations but there would be pre-packaged fresh food boxes available for patrons on ursday.
Most council members appeared supportive of contributing $19,443 to pay for three sta to keep ve-partial day markets in ornton. Marketgoers could then get prepackaged fresh food boxes on ursday.
Council members said the county should try to get more cities involved in hosting the markets and do more outreach for volunteers.
“Deeper outreach would soften that cost for us,” said councilmember Chris Russell. “ is is a really crucial and bene cial program, and we need to dig deeper for more resources to keep it going.”
Federal order a threat to in-state tuition Executive
order aimed
at ‘sanctuary city’ policies
BY JASON GONZALES CHALKBEAT
Undocumented students in Colorado have gone on to be teachers, nurses and business owners thanks to a program that allows them to pay in-state tuition at public universities.
Now the future of that program and ones like it in 23 other states are in doubt after President Donald Trump signed an executive order that seeks to punish states and cities with so-called sanctuary policies.
e order, signed April 28, also speci cally calls out programs that provide in-state tuition for undocumented students who graduated from high school in that state or who meet other residency requirements.
Allowing in-state students who are not citizens to pay less tuition than out-of-state students who are citizens represents discrimination, according to the order, which says that the attorney general, in cooperation with the secretary of the Department of Homeland Security, “shall identify and take appropriate action to stop the enforcement of state and local laws, regulations, policies, and practices favoring aliens over any groups of American citizens that are unlawful.”
Advocates for immigrant students say that without in-state tuition, many undocumented students will struggle to a ord college. ey don’t qualify for any federal nancial aid and face other barriers to college.
“ is is absolutely essential for immigrant students,” said Raquel Lane-Arellano, communications manager for the Colorado Immigrant Rights Coalition, which fought to pass Colorado’s in-state tuition law in 2013. “It’s not these students’ fault that our immigration system is so broken. ey deserve the opportunity, just like all of their peers, to access higher levels of education.”

Activating Downtown Westminster
City gives $300,000 boost to e orts for downtown
BY MONTE WHALEY MWHALEY@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
Groups looking to boost events and business initiatives for Downtown Westminster will get a $300,000 in ux of new funding after this week’s decision by the Westminster Economic Development Authority Board.
e authority board – which is the Westminster City Council – agreed to a year-long pilot program and a partnership with the Westminster Chamber of Commerce.
Both bodies hope the collaboration will bring increased foot tra c and community engagement, enhanced “sense of place” and identity for downtown, according to a city sta report. e partnership – with help from the $300,000 – will also strengthen the local economy, supporters said Monday at a meeting of the development authority.
“I think there is the possibility of getting more tax revenue (through more events,)” Councilor Amber Hott said. “ e better our businesses do downtown the better our city does.”
Westminster has been working to redevelop and re-energize the area, which covers most of the former Westminster Mall, since 2011. e boundaries of the downtown area are bounded by 92nd Avenue to the north, 88th Ave. to the south, Harlan St. to the west, and Sheridan Boulevard to the east, according to the city. e source of the $300,000 comes from taxes generated by downtown business-

Police seek suspects who dropped objects onto cars
Incidents occurred on Church Ranch and Zephyr Street overpass
Westminster Police are asking for the public’s help in identifying those responsible for throwing objects at cars traveling under an overpass near W. Church Ranch Boulevard.
On Saturday, May 3, just before 1 a.m., o cers responded to a report of criminal mischief near W. Church Ranch Boulevard and Wadsworth Boulevard.
A woman reported that while driving on Church Ranch beneath the Zephyr Street overpass, a large white object appeared to fall from above and struck
her windshield, cracking it.
She told police she was unsure what the object was and did not see who was responsible, according to a news release.
Around the same time Saturday, another driver reported a similar incident while passing under the Zephyr Street overpass, police said. e driver said they heard something strike the roof of their vehicle and believed it may have been Styrofoam cups lled with liquid.
No injuries were reported in either case, the news release states.
O cers searched the area, but did not locate any potentially involved individuals.
Anyone who has surveillance footage, dashcam video, or any other information relevant to the incident is asked to contact the Westminster Police Department at 303-658-4360.

‘Drug dealer’ gets 30 year sentence
BY MONTE WHALEY MWHALEY@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
A 32-year-old man — who wore a shirt that said “drug dealer” during one of his arrests for drug trafcking in ornton — has been sentenced to 30 years in the Colorado Department of Corrections for high-volume drug tra cking in Adams County.
e sentencing of Ivan Rodriguez marks the culmination of a multiple-year-long investigation by the North Metro Task Force into Rodriguez’s large-scale distribution of fentanyl, methamphetamine and other dangerous narcotics across the region, said Adams County District Attorney Brian Mason.
“ is defendant was a major source of deadly fentanyl and methamphetamine in our community and acted with utter disregard for the lives destroyed by these drugs,” Mason said in a news release. “ irty years in prison is an appropriate and necessary consequence for these crimes. I am grateful to our law enforcement partners for their thorough investigation in these cases. e District Attorney’s O ce will continue to prioritize the prosecution of high-level tra ckers like Mr. Rodgriguez, who pro t from addiction and death.” Rodriguez pleaded guilty to mul-
tiple charges of Drug Felony 1 Possession with Intent to Distribute.
He was sentenced to 14 years in prison for one of three cases in Feb. 2025. He received an additional 16 years on April 29, 2025 for two other separate cases.
e April sentences will be served concurrently with each other but consecutively to the February sentence, for a total of 30 years in prison, according to the news release.
Operation ‘Dress for Less’
Rodriguez was arrested on Nov. 2, 2022, following a coordinated operation by the ornton Police Department involving SWAT and surveillance teams, according to the news release.
After tracking him from a hotel to a nearby store, o cers executed a search warrant and recovered a large stash of illegal drugs, including 147.94 grams of methamphetamine, 112.44 grams of counterfeit Oxycodone (fentanyl), 1.39 grams of Ketamine, and 13.77 grams of counterfeit Xanax.
e news release states that Rodriguez was wearing a shirt that read “drug dealer” at the time of the o ense.
e defendant posted bond on November 8, 2022, but failed to appear in court on January 17, 2023, was re-arrested, and posted bond
again on May 15, 2023.
In 2023, during an extensive narcotics investigation dubbed “Dress for Less,” North Metro Task Force detectives intercepted court-authorized wiretap communications revealing Rodriguez’s role in a drug tra cking operation with ties to a Mexican drug cartel, according to the news release.
While out on bond, Rodriguez was observed conducting a drug transaction and then led ornton Police on a high-speed chase, during which he discarded a backpack, which was later recovered from a dumpster.
e bag contained 1.68 kilograms of fentanyl, 2.56 kilograms of methamphetamine, a rearm, nearly $3,000 in cash, and multiple cell phones. e indictment in this case was led on Sep. 25, 2023, and an arrest warrant was issued, according to the news release.
On Dec. 10, 2023, Rodriguez was located during a surveillance operation, according to the news release. Detectives immobilized Rodriguez’s vehicle as he returned to a parking lot in a black Audi sedan. He attempted to ee again but was caught. Rodriguez admitted to possessing narcotics in the car. A search revealed nearly three pounds of methamphetamine and 21 grams of counterfeit fentanyl pills, the news release states.

Winners and losers in school finance bill
Shift to weighted model has wide range of e ects on metro districts
BY SUZIE GLASSMAN SGLASSMAN@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
Colorado lawmakers on May 7 nalized a sweeping shift in how the state funds public schools, passing House Bill 25-1320 on the nal day of the 2025 legislative session. While most districts will see a boost in the coming year, a slow but steady transition toward a new weighted formula will leave some districts, including Je erson County, facing signi cant nancial challenges.
is shift in public school funding comes as lawmakers worked this spring to pass the 2025 School Finance Act against the backdrop of a $1.2 billion state budget shortfall. Initially, districts with declining enrollment faced steep potential cuts under a proposal championed by Gov. Jared Polis to eliminate “ghost students” from funding counts.
However, after weeks of negotiations, a bipartisan group of lawmakers introduced a compromise that preserves more stability for districts while slightly slowing the transition to the new weighted formula.
e compromise maintains the use of a four-year student enrollment average for the next year, protecting districts with declining enrollment and phases in the new formula more gradually over seven years instead of six.
It also sets a statutory minimum for total statewide funding in the 2025-26 school year, requiring the state to allocate at least $10 billion for all districts and institute charter schools combined.
is gure will be updated midyear based on actual enrollment, assessed valuations and local tax revenue.
e nal bill also caps state construction grants at $150 million to free up additional operational funding.
Even with these adjustments, school funding will increase statewide next year, although some districts with shrinking enrollment will see no additional money beyond a “hold harmless” guarantee — a provision that ensures districts receive at least as much funding as the previous year, even if their enrollment declines.
A new revenue stream
As part of a late-session amendment to the School Finance Act, lawmakers also created the Kids Matter Fund, a dedicated account that will receive a small percent-
age of state income tax revenue beginning in the 2026-27 scal year.
While it won’t immediately change funding levels, the fund is expected to support total program costs through 2030, then shift toward base and categorical funding. at long-term infusion could eventually help districts with high-cost student needs, though its exact impact remains to be seen.
Sen. Chris Kolker, who represents Arapahoe and Je erson counties, said the idea came from a shared concern that lawmakers could one day reverse course and divert money away from K-12 education.
By designating 0.065% of state income tax into a trust beginning in the 2026-27 scal year, the amendment ensures a baseline of protected funding for public schools.
“Let’s put a priority that we’re funding education,” Kolker said. “Granted, it may not be up to the adequacy amounts by those studies, but it’s a start, based on the formula.”
How it will roll out
When the legislature passed a new
school nance formula in the spring of 2024, it promised that no district would lose funding immediately. at promise held for the 2024-25 school year:
• Every district was guaranteed at least as much total program funding as the previous year.
• A “hold harmless” provision ensured that even districts with enrollment declines received at least the same amount of funding they got for 2023-24.
However, the shift toward the new funding formula o cially begins in the 2025-26 school year. is year, districts’ funding will be calculated based on the greater of the two numbers:
• What the district received in 2024-25 (the hold harmless oor), or
• A phased-in amount that moves 15% closer to what the new, weighted formula would provide.
By 2027-28, the transition will accelerate, and by 2031-32, Colorado plans to fully fund schools using the new formula.
How several major metro districts are affected
A look at ve of Colorado’s largest districts shows how uneven the impact will be over time, according to the scal note attached to House Bill 25-1320 and data from the Colorado Department of Education:
learners helps stabilize funding levels.
• Cherry Creek Schools: Solid increases. Cherry Creek Schools received a solid funding increase in 2024-25 and is projected to receive an even larger one in 2025-26, with a projected gain of 7.8%. Stable enrollment and a growing population of at-risk and multilingual learners align well with the new funding priorities, placing Cherry Creek in a strong nancial position. While its enrollment has remained stable, Cherry Creek’s at-risk and multilingual student populations have grown. at demographic shift aligns with the new weighted funding priorities, resulting in a projected 7.8% increase in funding from 2024-25 to 2025-26.
• Douglas County School District: Relatively at. Douglas County saw a modest increase in 2024-25 and is projected for a at to slight increase of about 0.8% in 2025-26. While enrollment is declining, strong local property wealth and demographic balancing help the district maintain relative stability under the phased-in new formula.
• Je erson County Public Schools: Steep losses. Je co Public Schools is protected from immediate funding cuts in 2024-25, thanks to the hold harmless provision. For the 2025-26 school year, the district is guaranteed to receive at least as much funding as it did in the 2024-25 school year.
However, long-term challenges are building. Without the hold-harmless protections, scal note projections show Je co would face a 14.9% drop in total program funding under the state’s new weighted formula. Several factors are driving this risk:
Several factors are converging:
• Enrollment loss: Je co’s student population continues to shrink, reducing its funding needs under both formulas.
• Property value surge: Rising home values increase local tax collections, reducing the amount of state funding Je co quali es for.
• New formula weighting: e new funding model places greater emphasis on at-risk and multilingual learners, areas where Je co’s demographics o er fewer additional dollars compared to other metro districts.
What the shift means for metro districts
e 2025-26 school year marks the beginning of Colorado’s shift toward a new vision of school funding, one that prioritizes student needs more heavily but also leaves some communities facing complex adjustments.
• Adams 12 Five Star Schools: Relatively at. For the 2024-25 school year, Adams 12 received a slight funding increase over the 2023-24 school year. However, by 2025-26, the district is projected to face a slight decrease of approximately 1.6%. Ongoing enrollment declines and fewer qualifying high-needs students are under the new weighted formula, contributing to this dip.
• Adams County School District 14: Small drop. Adams 14 saw at funding for 2024-25 compared to the previous year. For 2025-26, projections show a minimal decrease of about 0.6%. Despite longterm enrollment loss, the district’s high concentration of at-risk and multilingual
While families may not notice dramatic changes immediately, the foundation for bigger nancial shifts is being laid now. Districts like Je co and Adams 12 will need to plan carefully to navigate tighter budgets, while Cherry Creek and others may nd new opportunities to invest in expanded programs and services.
e hold harmless protection provides a temporary cushion, but districts like Je co face growing nancial challenges as the transition accelerates. By the end of the decade, Colorado’s school nance landscape will look very di erent from what it does today.
Charter schools will also see a share of the phased-in formula funding.
Another late-session amendment requires that charter and institute charter schools receive a per-pupil amount tied to their authorizing district’s incremental increase in 2025-26, ensuring they bene t proportionally as Colorado begins implementing the new formula.

Bill to bolster law enforcement moves ahead
Westminster’s Shannon Bird co-sponsored bill to honor voter intent
BY MONTE WHALEY MWHALEY@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
e Colorado House of Representatives this week passed legislation that would provide a major nancial boost to public safety and law enforcement training.
e bill – SB25-310 – was co-sponsored by Rep. Shannon Bird of Westminster and passed the House by a voted of 55-9.
e bill honors the intent of Proposition 130, passed by voters last year, to invest in new resources for the state’s po-
lice agencies, said Bird, a Democrat.
“Last year, Colorado voters approved Prop 130 to better support the recruitment and training of peace o cers and ensure that families of rst responders can receive death bene ts after a tragedy,” said Bird in a news release. “ is solution implements the will of the voters and supports our law enforcement departments and o cers while maintaining funding for essential services like K-12 education and health care.”
SB25-310, also sponsored by Rick Taggart, R-Grand Junction, would implement the voter-approved Proposition 130 and direct a total of $350 million to keep Coloradans safe and to recruit new peace o cers, hire additional peace ofcers, and provide continuing education and training for peace o cers.
e bill would implement and create a
funding mechanism for the distribution of $350 million for local law enforcement o cer recruitment, retention and training, the news release states.
e bill makes a one-time investment of $500 million of the general fund reserve in PERA and reduces future general fund payments to PERA by the amount of interest earned. It would then divert that amount to the new Peace O cer Training and Support fund each year, which will be distributed to local police departments, according to the legislation.
In addition, the bill would require a transfer of $15 million to the fund from the General Fund in 2026-27, and a minimum of $15 million from the general fund each year, regardless of the amount o set by interest earnings.
Once the full $350 million is ful lled or
if the general fund reserve falls below $1 billion, the bill would establish mechanisms to e ectively return the $500 million invested in PERA to the general fund, the news release states.
e bill would also implement the death bene t required in Proposition 130 of $1 million to the surviving spouse, family member or designee of any rst responder who died as a result of injuries or an occupational disease sustained while performing their job and create the Death Bene t Fund.
e bill would transfer $5 million on July 1, 2025, and a further $5 million on July 1, 2026, to the Death Bene t Fund. Beginning in 2027, the bill would require an annual transfer from the General Fund to the Death Bene t Fund that restores the fund balance to $10 million.
RTD program aims at human tra cking education
BY MONTE WHALEY
e Regional Transportation District is launching an education campaign for employees and riders to identify and report human tra cking.
RTD said it is partnering with Truckers Against Tra cking – TAT – and the Denver Anti-Tra cking Alliance – DATA – to kick start a Human Tra cking Awareness Campaign throughout the RTD system. e focus of the campaign is to educate young customers, families and community members on how to identify and report tra cking, RTD says.
An RTD news release states that human tra cking is a serious crime that a ects people worldwide, including in Colorado. It involves severe exploitation for labor or commercial sex through force, fraud or coercion. Victims may be forced to work long hours for little or no pay, and tra ckers often take their identi cation, making it di cult to access transportation and human services, according to the news release. Survivors often seek to escape by bus, train or ee to a transit center. As the region’s public transit provider, RTD is uniquely positioned to help identify and disrupt trafcking, the agency’s o cials say.
“I value RTD’s partnerships with TAT and DATA,” said RTD General Manager and CEO Debra A. Johnson, said in the news release. “Collectively, we aim to educate employees, customers and the general public about human tra cking while sharing resources to help eliminate it in our communities.”
RTD Transit Police – RTD-PD - trains and certi es its o cers to recognize, investigate and report human tra cking. RTD-PD also partners with the Denver Police Department and the FBI. e agencies work together to conduct an operation to better recognize and aid young adults who are at risk, runaways or
have been victimized, the news release states. ese law enforcement agencies will continue to work together to support combined e orts focused on preventing human tra cking. ere are several “red ags” that may indicate an individual is a victim of trafcking. RTD says examples include individuals who are not allowed to speak for themselves, whose tickets and/or ID cards are being controlled by another person and minors who are unaware of the person they are traveling to meet or reference meeting “a friend from the internet.”
State preschool enrollment high but quality guardrails lag
BY ANN SCHIMKE CHALKBEAT COLORADO
Colorado’s popular universal preschool program has dramatically increased the number of 4-year-olds who get statefunded preschool, but it’s unfolded largely without guardrails to ensure quality.
A report released by the National Institute for Early Education Research at Rutgers University highlights these twin realities and provides a more detailed look at where Colorado stands compared to other states.
Overall, the report suggests Colorado has prioritized quantity over quality as it moved from a small tuition-free preschool program for children with certain risk factors to one that’s open to all 4-yearolds. e state’s universal preschool enrollment numbers are impressive, with 70% of eligible children enrolled last year. at number helped Colorado leapfrog from its previous ranking of 27 to third in this year’s “State of Preschool” report. Only Washington, D.C. and Vermont had a larger share of 4-year-olds enrolled in public preschool programs last year.
Leaders at the research institute noted that California added more 4-year-olds to state-funded preschool than Colorado last year — 35,000 compared with 30,000 — but Colorado made far bigger gains than California when it comes to the percentage of children served.
“ e progress Colorado made in terms of enrollment and expanding access was pretty remarkable,” said Allison Friedman-Krauss, an associate research professor at the institute.
But Colorado’s showing deteriorated in the quality standards department. In the latest report, it meets only two of 10 benchmarks, down from four in the previous preschool program. e benchmarks, which describe state policies that promote high-quality classrooms, touch
on factors such as teacher training, curriculum, and class size.
Colorado o cials plan to put new rules governing universal preschool quality in place, but plan to postpone the start date by a year to July 2026. It’s the third time the rules have been delayed.
“ ey kicked the can down the road one more time,” said W. Steven Barnett, senior co-director of the institute.
Dawn Odean, the state’s universal preschool program director, acknowledged that the state has delayed the rules, but said Barnett’s statement is misleading because Colorado has been working on e orts related to quality for a long time and continues to do so.
She described the state’s approach as “going slow to go fast.”
Colorado leaders repeatedly pledged that universal preschool would provide high-quality classes, starting when they pitched the program to voters, who approved a nicotine tax in 2020 to help fund it.
But currently, the “universal preschool” label doesn’t indicate anything about the caliber of classroom a child will join. Rather, it simply indicates the state is paying for 10 to 30 hours of class time. Of about 2,000 preschools participating in the program, some are excellent and have high state ratings, some are weak and meet only basic health and safety standards, and some are in between.
Experts say high-quality preschool can produce short- and long-term bene ts for kids.
In the report, Colorado got credit for meeting two quality benchmarks: having a set of early learning and development standards and providing guidance to preschools on curriculum. While the state has not yet released a list of curriculum approved for use in universal preschool classrooms, that is slated to happen sometime this year.

Texas, Wisconsin, and Indiana are the only other states to hit only two of the institute’s preschool quality benchmarks. More than a dozen states and Washington D.C. meet 9 or 10 of the benchmarks. ey include two of Colorado’s neighbors: New Mexico and Oklahoma.
Colorado didn’t meet benchmarks requiring class size caps of 20 and stastudent ratios of 1 to 10. Both limits have prompted heated debate over the last two years. Some private providers have argued they’ll lose money if they have to reduce class sizes below the state’s current cap of 24 and ratios below the current limit of one sta member for every 12 4-year-olds.
By the 2027-28 school year, state ocials do plan to require the class size and ratio caps recommended by the research institute for universal preschool. ere’s one big exception though: Preschools that have one of the top two state ratings will be allowed to stick with the current caps.
Colorado also didn’t meet benchmarks related to the types of credentials teachers or assistant teachers should have or annual training and coaching for sta . Lisa Roy, executive director of the Colorado Department of Early Childhood, which administers the universal preschool program, said when Colorado’s rules on preschool quality are fully implemented over the next few years, she anticipates the state will meet at least half of the institute’s benchmarks.
Odean noted that the institute’s 10 benchmarks look at “outputs,” but that Colorado is focused on child outcomes.
“What families tell us consistently, and educators too, is that those outcomes are what’s a priority, and that’s not contemplated in the NIEER ratings,” she said, referring to the institute’s acronym. e institute’s report describes its benchmarks as “a set of minimum criteria, established by state policy, needed to ensure e ectiveness of preschool education programs.”
Barnett said Colorado parents should think carefully before moving their children away from a high-quality program that’s not part of the state’s universal program to a lower-quality provider that is.
“When people did that in Quebec in response to [$10-a-day] child care … kids’ development su ered for a decade,” he said.
Barnett was referring to an e ort begun in the 1990s that o ered highly discounted child care to Quebec families. While the e ort allowed more women to join the workforce, many children were put in low-quality centers. Subsequent studies found negative impacts on children, including increased anxiety and aggression.
A 2019 study that revealed additional negative outcomes as the children became teens and young adults, concluded, “Our ndings provide strong support for the argument that the early childhood development environment is a crucial determinant of the long-term success of children.”

DHS o ers $1,000 to immigrants who self-deport
WASHINGTON — e U.S. Department of Homeland Security announced May 5 that the agency will provide $1,000 in what it called “travel assistance” to people in the United States without permanent legal status if they self deport.
It’s the latest attempt by DHS to try to meet the Trump administration’s goal of removing 1 million migrants without permanent legal status from the country. DHS Secretary Kristi Noem touted the option as cost-e ective.
“If you are here illegally, self-deportation is the best, safest and most cost-ef-
TUITION
So far, Colorado universities are not making any immediate changes to their policies.
“ e executive order does not provide enough details to truly know what federal actions will be taken,” said Colorado Department of Higher Education spokesperson Megan McDermott.
e Trump order sets up a possible legal showdown over the state-supported tuition programs that immigrant rights and higher education-advising groups have called essential to help undocumented students access higher education and educate them to ll in-demand jobs.
Twenty-four states, including Colorado, Illinois, New York, and New Jersey, along with Washington, D.C. have programs that allow undocumented students to pay in-state tuition. While the programs have received bipartisan support, Republicans in several states have recently led bills to consider rolling back in-state tuition for undocumented students. Last week, Florida lawmakers ended the state’s decade-old program. e order adds to an already uncertain environment for immigrant students, who worry about the risks of lling out nancial aid paperwork while grappling with deportation fears. Denver Scholarship Foundation’s Natasha Gar eld said the college-advising nonpro t will continue to provide students information
fective way to leave the United States to avoid arrest,” Noem said in a statement. “ is is the safest option for our law enforcement, aliens and is a 70% savings for US taxpayers.”
It’s unclear from which part of the DHS budget the funding for the travel assistance is coming, as it would roughly cost $1 billion to reimburse up to $1,000 to meet the goal of removing 1 million people.
DHS did not respond to States Newsroom’s request for comment.
President Donald Trump gave his support for the move Monday afternoon, according to White House pool reports.
“We’re going to get them a beautiful

“ ere are some who are very, very concerned about the state of things, and I don’t think there’s anything that DSF or anyone else could say to reassure them,” said Gar eld, the scholarship organization’s director of scholarships and nancial aid. “I think that’s completely understandable given some of the actions that we’ve seen coming from ICE [U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement] and the federal government.”
e order is part of Trump’s larger push to crack down on people in the United States without legal authorization. His directive to punish states with these programs also included several other enforcement actions such as punishing so-called sanctuary cities and states. e administration led suit Friday against Colorado and Denver for its policies.
e administration argues in the order that some state and local o cials use their “authority to violate, obstruct, and defy the enforcement of federal immigration laws. is is a lawless insurrection against the supremacy of Federal law.”
States have a long history of o ering in-state tuition at public universities to youth who were brought as children and without legal status. Texas and California passed the rst laws in 2001, and other states followed with similar laws. Each varies in how they approach granting instate tuition.
About 408,000 undocumented stu-
ight back to where they came from,” the president said.
Self-deportation would be facilitated by the CBP Home app, which was used by the Biden administration to allow asylum seekers to make appointments with U.S. Customs and Border Protection.
e payment would apparently not be made in advance. DHS said that once those who use the app to self deport arrive in their home country, they will receive a travel stipend of $1,000.
According to DHS, the Trump administration has deported 152,000 people since taking o ce in January. e Biden administration last year deported 195,000 people from February to April,
dents enroll in higher education each year, although not all bene t from these state programs, according to the Higher Ed Immigration Portal. However, even in states without these laws, some private schools in Tennessee and elsewhere may o er in-state tuition for all students regardless of their residency or legal status.
And in Pennsylvania, at least one public institution provides in-state tuition to undocumented students.
Colorado’s Advising Students for a Stronger Tomorrow law, or ASSET, updated in 2019, says students must have attended a Colorado high school for at least one year before graduation or been physically present in Colorado for at least one year to qualify for in-state tuition.
New York’s law says students must have attended at least two years of high school in New York and graduate or receive a general education diploma. Students must also apply to a college or university within ve years and show proof of residency. ey must also sign an a davit saying they will le for legal status.
Illinois’ law has similar requirements, while New Jersey requires three years of residency.
National student immigrant advocacy organizations FWD.us, eDream.US, and the Presidents’ Alliance on Higher Education and Immigration all criticized the order. Collectively, they said states, colleges, and universities shouldn’t overreact and that the order hurts states that need quali ed workers.
“Blocking states from o ering in-state tuition to undocumented students who have lived in these states for most of their
according to DHS data.
DHS said already one migrant has used the program to book a ight from Chicago to Honduras.
“Additional tickets have already been booked for this week and the following week,” the agency said in a statement. e Trump administration has rolled out several programs to facilitate mass self-deportations, such as a registry to require immigrants in the country without legal authorization to register with the federal government.
Immigrants who don’t register with the federal government could face steep nes and a potential prison sentence.
lives would purposefully lock countless individuals out of the higher education system, waste years of educational investment, hurt local economies, and rob all Americans of future leaders,” said Todd Schulte, FWD.us president.
State leaders are still working to understand the impact of the order, and a spokesperson for Colorado Gov. Jared Polis said in a statement the administration is looking into the impacts of this order. e state remains committed to ensuring the state remains a destination for all learners, the statement says. e state has not led any legal action against the order, but leaders have been willing to push back on Trump administration orders.
Colorado’s largest university system also doesn’t plan changes at this time. University of Colorado System spokesperson Michele Ames said its schools are committed to following applicable laws and will not make any changes at this time. Other universities, such as the University of Northern Colorado, are monitoring the actions.
Schools across the state have also said that they won’t release individual student information, such as information about undocumented students who attend schools through the ASSET program, to the federal government without a court order or warrant, per federal student privacy laws.

Crown Pointe Academy breaks ground on new building
There is exciting news to share regarding the Crown Pointe Academy Charter School in Westminster. ey broke ground on a new building located directly across the street from the existing campus at 2900 W. 86th Ave.
e $17 million project is for Pre-K through 2nd grade. e 26,000 square foot building will accommodate an additional 275 students with 14 new classrooms. e expansion will create 30 new full-time positions, further strengthening the school’s role as a high-performing school of choice for Westminster families.
Congrats to their Board of Directors in launching this welcome addition. Crown Pointe has served the needs of the area for the past 27 years and became a reality with a special partnership between Adams County School District 50 (later Westminster Public Schools) and the City of Westminster.
Hyland Hills Park & Recreation Board election results announced
e May 6 Board of Directors election results are in, but are preliminary in nature.
Voters supported the continuation of major improvements throughout the District with both incumbent Board members Warren Blair and Margaret Gutierrez being re-elected.
e third Board seat was won by Lori Mirelez who previously served on the Board from 2014-2022.
e District must await any overseas ballots to be counted. Hyland Hills is making bene cial improvements throughout the District utilizing the voter-approved bond issue funding.
Keep an eye on them for a big announcement this summer on plans for Water World. Congrats to the three winners.
State legislature has gone home Our State Legislators have packed their

laptops, recycled all the paper and nished another hectic legislative session. To their credit, they overcame the $1.2 billion de cit in the 2025-2026 state budget with funding in the key areas in decent shape.
First and foremost was to have as much funding as possible for K-12 schools, Medicaid and higher education. It is unfortunate that transportation took some hits, but those will be addressed next year.
Regarding the funding for school breakfast and lunch for all K-12 students, the legislature is deferring to the voters in November to decide whether to keep the current program or cut back to only those students who nancially qualify for the meals. At least this time the legislature didn’t raise the gasoline tax via a so-called “fee” or increase the fees on license plate renewals.
Remember, you have to look and nd the silver lining!
Get ready for the big parade I love parades especially in connection with the holidays or local town/city celebrations. I have mixed feelings about the June 14 parade which President Trump is promoting and hosting.
It is to celebrate the 250th birthday of the U.S. Army. I was a member of this branch of the military during the Vietnam era, but can’t say how proud I was to serve (not in Vietnam).
However, it also will be to celebrate the President’s 79th birthday. Trump has wanted a big military parade for years and now he can order it!
According to sources, the Army was already planning a parade anticipating 150 vehicles, 50 aircraft and 6,600 soldiers. Hmm, why not 7,900 soldiers?
Find the shine amid the struggle
The return of warmer weather to the Front Range adds a bit of dread to my mind. You see, it reminds me that one of the most frustrating parts of multiple sclerosis comes when it is super-hot. Heat wears me out incredibly quickly, making me feel like I am trying to walk through knee-deep quicksand to do anything. It is a feeling that is all-encompassing for my body. You might think the answer is to stay inside as much as possible. e problem is, cold air tightens my muscles and makes it di cult to bend and move around. So, a week of extreme temperatures leaves me deciding between navigating energysapping heat or muscle-tightening cold. We all face di erent struggles; mine are very present in weather extremes. Last summer, we experienced a week of 100-degree days. For much of the week, I trudged, doing what we all do when we have struggles: I put one foot in front of the other, moved forward as best I could, and stayed
Besides the military equipment and soldiers, there will be reworks and a day-long festival on the National Mall with military demonstrations, musical performances and a tness completion.
Something for everybody I would say!
While the size of this parade would pale in comparison to what Mr. Vladimir Putin or Mr. Xi Jinping would organize for their regular military parades, it should make the President happy. After all, that has become the test - what will make President Trump happy.
So, mark your calendars for June 14 and get your Trump banners out in full display. I’ll be at the end of the parade scooping up the horse stu , but I don’t think one shovel will su ce!
Broomfield is following state mandates on higher density housing
Since the state legislature passed House Bill 24-1313 last year mandating up to 40 dwelling units per acre in “transportation zones” and transit centers, we have not heard a great deal from municipalities across the state either rejecting or approving the much higher density in designated zones.
Westminster rejected the whole idea. Broom eld City Council has directed sta to move toward compliance. However, some members were opposed to the provision of administrative reviews on apartment developments on land that is ve acres or less.
e calculation for Broom eld to comply would allow 11,500 apartment units. No developers have stepped up thus far to indicate an interest in building all or a portion of this block of apartments. Nor has it been announced or determined what the rental rates would be.
As you may recall, the Democrats were seeking more a ordable apartment units with their mandates. is would denitely have an in uence on their city’s demographics contrasted by the stable single family dwellings Broom eld has

been known for in the past. Broom eld has two transit center areas which t the new state law. ey are the Arista area where Wadsworth Parkway approaches U.S. 36 and the Flatiron Marketplace which is near Interlocken Loop and U.S. 36. Both transit center areas service multiple bus routes.
It’s time to focus on enhanced cooperation
Seeing the results of the Hyland Hills Board election reminded me of a former time when the City of Westminster, Hyland Hills Parks & Recreation District and Westminster Public Schools enjoyed a close working partnership. Today there is hardly any cooperation or communications between Hyland Hills and WPS. e City and Hyland Hills are doing more in the way of public improvements especially involving Carroll Butts Park. Certainly, there is room for stronger relationships between WPS and the City.
Once upon a time, School Superintendent Mike Mazzarotti, Hyland Hills Executive Director Greg Mastrioni and City Manager Bill Christopher saw the need and bene t to come together and work closer with each other.
ey saw the importance of sharing with a common constituency for the betterment of the whole community. Whether it was the city sharing the best asphalt price or the school district sharing its diesel fuel price or Hyland Hills sharing its Pepsi Cola contract, all three entities bene tted.
We have lost that philosophy over the years. Yes, there have been some sensitive political situations and cold-shouldered decisions turning more inward along the way. However, that does not have to dictate how the entities could work together today. ere are plenty of opportunities which would bene t the mutual constituency as well as improve each organization.

It was in my week of trudging that I had two appointments where I was asked questions that made me think about things in a di erent fashion. I was with my chiropractor, Dr. Danielle Wesley, and she simply asked the question, “Are you keeping a journal of your victories so that you have something to look at when you feel like you are not making progress?” I had to answer “No,” but the brilliance in what she was asking me was clear because as soon as she nished the question, I could name ve or six things that had gone well in what I perceived as my week of trudging.
ROOME, P9
Please humor the author of this letter and imagine what it must be like to be a humble prairie dog; to watch the world around you become smaller, more unfamiliar as it presses in around your home. To be treated like a pest, a nuisance, or even a danger just for existing. Prairie dogs are often seen as a problem to eliminate despite the key role they play in Colorado’s landscape.
ey are a ‘keystone species’ and ‘ecosystem engineers,’ meaning they play a vital role in keeping our beautiful prairies alive and healthy. In fact, they support an entire ecosystem of predators, prey, insects and plant communities (over 100 species!) and prairie dog towns have been referred to as the “coral reefs of the prairie” and a “biological oasis” by the National Park Service. ere are many myths about prairie dogs. Perhaps the one I have heard the most is that they carry diseases.
e fact is that it is not easy for prairie dogs to transmit plague to people. e plague is transmitted through the bites of infected eas, not prairie dogs themselves. Prairie dog eas are very host-speci c and therefore generally avoid humans and other animals.
Prairie dogs are not known to contract
rabies and while they can contract other diseases, they die from these diseases and therefore cannot be carriers. e odds of prairie dogs spreading diseases to humans are incredibly low and are often exaggerated by misinformation. erefore, the risk of disease does not justify the widespread extermination of prairie dog colonies.
While driving through developing parts of Westminster and Broom eld, my heart breaks at how these innocent creatures are surrounded by encroaching construction. I worry that they are only temporarily safe and that development will harm them and therefore all of us that live in this ecosystem we call home.
Prairie dogs are not pests, they deserve our protection. ey deserve to be looked after and left in peace–they were here before any of us.
is letter is a plea to anyone who might care to look to your representatives for their protection, to care about the land before it becomes a parking lot. eir habitat is shrinking and their numbers are too…we must protect them before they are pushed to endangerment or even extinction. If there are prairie dogs near you, please speak up for them before it is too late.

With the weather getting warmer and summer just around the corner, it’s time to hit the road — and the stacks.
While Denver Public Library’s Central Branch is a Colorado landmark, it’s not the only library worth the trip. Scattered throughout Denver metro are unique libraries, lled to the brim with books and other resources waiting to be discovered.
Coloradans are lucky enough to be able to get library cards in nearly every library district, regardless of whether they live in the district or not. Patrons just need to bring in a Colorado State ID or other proof of address, and they’ll be able to register for a library card.
Summer reading programs are also just around the corner, and they’re not just for kids. Many libraries will o er special programming to inspire a love for reading in kids, teens and adults alike. To get ready for a literary adventure- lled summer, hop in the car, stock up on library cards and discover what each library has to o er.
Columbine Library, Je erson County Public Library
7706 W. Bowles Ave., Littleton, CO 80123
Seated within Robert F. Clement Park, Columbine Library has books — and views — to share. e library’s west side features oor-to-ceiling windows with a panoramic view of Johnson Reservoir with the mountains behind it. Around the window, tables and chairs abound, giving visitors a cozy spot to study, read or just hang out.
“We are very lucky to have — in our biased opinions — one of the best locations in Je co Public Library,” said Columbine Public Services Manager Julianna Sipeki. “Nestled against the foothills, we are located in the beautiful Clement Park, where we host some of our outdoor programs, like birdwatching.”
However, great views aren’t all that Columbine Library has to o er. In addition to over 100,000 physical books and other materials, the library has Culture Passes for local museums, Chrome-
books and Wi-Fi hotspots that patrons can take home, access to apps for streaming music and movies and access to 133 di erent research databases.
“We wish everyone knew that you can use all of our library services at no cost,” said Sipeki. “It costs nothing to get a library card, we don’t charge to book meeting or study rooms, there’s no charge to attend any program and we don’t charge late fees. You don’t even need a library card to come in and attend programs or use a computer.”
With dedicated sections for children and teens, study rooms and local businesses nearby, the library o ers a spot for anyone to hang out.
“We want people to know libraries are so much more than just a place to check out a book,” said Sipeki. “We are a place to meet your neighbors and make new friends; a place to learn and expand your worldview; a place to practice a skill or start a new hobby; or simply, just a place to spend an hour of your day.”

Bemis Public Library
6014 S. Datura St., Littleton, CO 80120
Nestled in a sleepy grove across from the Littleton Historical Museum, Bemis Public Library is one of the few independent libraries in the metro area, meaning it is not part of any library system.
Instead, the library was built by the City of LIttleton in 1965 and is the namesake for former Littleton Independent Publisher Edwin A. Bemis.
Now, the library — which is walking distance from Downtown Littleton — sports a large kid’s section that sometimes hosts storytimes, as well as a teen area that is separated from the rest of the library.
Bemis Public LIbrary is also home to resources for
groups the library welcomes through its doors. e library also eliminated overdue fees in 2023 as an e ort to become more equitable to patrons.
Koelbel Library, Arapahoe Libraries

Can you solve Thomas Riha’s disappearance?
Many people think of museums as places that have all the answers, but that’s not always the case. And sometimes that makes for a more intriguing story.
Such is the case for the latest exhibition at the History Colorado Center, e Disappearance of omas Riha, which takes a local mystery and investigates the many remaining unanswered questions.
“ is is a true crime cold case that’s never been told publicly in a museum setting,” said Katherine Mercier, exhibition developer and historian at History Colorado. “We felt we nally had the space to experiment with the kind of exhibit we’ve never done before.”
e Disappearance of omas Riha will be on display at the Center, 1200 Broadway, Denver in Denver, through March 15.
According to the provided information, the exhibit tells the story of University of Colorado Boulder Russian history professor omas Riha, who vanished on March 15, 1969, right in the middle of the Cold War.
e exhibition features never-beforedisplayed declassi ed documents from the Central Intelligence Agency and the Federal Bureau of Investigation, and is deepened by History Colorado’s archives. Museum researchers had a wide range of materials to use, including the journals of a woman who may or may not have played a role in Riha’s disappearance.
“Despite the case never being solved, we have hundreds of pages in our collection that provide unique insights,” Mercier explained. “We don’t claim to have the answer as to what happened, but
COMING ATTRACTIONS
we want people to be able to go through the evidence and come up with their own theories. ere’s even a space at the end of the exhibition where guests can share them.”
While the mystery is the main draw of the exhibit, Mercier said she also hopes visitors get a glimpse of Colorado’s role as a hotbed of activity during the Cold War. With sites like Rocky Flats and the Air Force Academy, the state saw plenty of intrigue.
“People may not understand how big the Cold War was and how it integrated itself into everybody’s life,” she said. “I hope people think about what it would’ve felt like to be living at the time and how they would cope.”
Riha’s disappearance received a great deal of press coverage at the time, but eventually faded away, leaving everyone without answers. So, this exhibit was carefully designed to also include the stories of the people who were a ected.
“ e exhibit focuses on the people and lives that were wrapped up in the events,” Mercier said. “ omas had a family that never got answers about what happened to him. is is ultimately a story about humanity.”

Ski legend joins women’s soccer ownership
BY LINCOLN ROCH THE COLORADO SUN
e greatest alpine skier of all time is stepping onto the soccer eld, as an owner.
Colorado’s own Mikaela Shi rin is joining the ownership group of the National Women’s Soccer League’s Denver expansion team, the team announced May 6.
With 101 World Cup victories, two Olympic gold medals and eight world championship titles, Shi rin is widely considered the most decorated alpine skier in history. Born and raised in Vail, she started competing on the World Cup circuit at age 16. Shi rin is the only athlete to win all six of the World Cup disciplines: slalom, giant slalom, super-G, downhill, combina-
tion and parallel combination. In 2023, she won the annual ESPN award as the best athlete in women’s sports and was one of Time magazine’s 100 Most In uential People.
e skier joins an ownership group led by Rob Cohen, CEO of Denver’s IMA Financial Group, and Ariel Investments Co-CEO Melody Hobson through Project Level — Ariel’s fund dedicated to invest-
ment in women’s sports. e Colorado Sun asked NWSL Denver what percentage of the team Shi rin would own. ey declined to provide the information. “ e sport culture in Colorado is rich and deep, and — most notably — the growth of women’s sports is one of the most exciting movements in our culture today,” Shi rin said in a statement. “To be part of it, and to help bring professional women’s soccer to Colorado, is not only an incredible investment opportunity — but it is both an honor and a joy.”
Denver was announced as the 16th NWSL team in January. eir $110 million expansion fee is the most expensive in U.S. women’s sports history. Since then, the team has been rapidly preparing for its 2026 season debut. In April, the team announced Jen Millet as its rst president. Millet has served as chief operating o cer of Bay FC and previously worked for the Golden State Warriors, StubHub and Pandora.
In April, the team surpassed 10,000 season ticket deposits. ey are partnering with the Cherry Creek School District to build a temporary venue in Centennial for their rst two seasons. A 20,000-square-foot, purpose-built training facility will also be located on the same property.
e ownership group and Denver Mayor Mike Johnston are asking the City Council to approve $70 million in public funding to help build a stadium at Interstate 25 and Broadway at the Sante Fe Yards. e total cost would range from $150 million-$200 million and be built by the team.
at request passed its rst hurdle late last month, but has not yet reached the full council. If the money is not approved, Cohen has hinted that the team might leave Denver.

Brighton was expected to o cially recognize the 75th anniversary of the rst publication of “Dianetics: e Modern Science of Mental Health” at the May 6 City Council meeting, declaring May 9 as Dianetics Day in Brighton.
Brighton’s proclamation, signed by Mayor Greg Mills and Brighton City Clerk Natalie Hoel, noted that L. Ron Hubbard, an American science ction and pulp author, rst published his most well-known book “Dianetics,” on May 19, 1950. e Church of Scientology opened its rst o cial location nearly four years later, in California.
But Councilor Tom Green moved to strike the proclamation from the council’s agenda at the beginning of Tuesday’s meeting and councilors agreed unanimously.
e Dianetics proclamation was one of four proclamations the mayor was
scheduled to read at the May 6 meeting. Others included “Kids to Parks Day” on May 17, declaring the week of May 11 as “National Police Week” and declaring the month of May “Historic Preservation Month.”
After agreeing to strike the Dianetics proclamation, councilors then moved to postpone the three remaining proclamations from that night’s agenda, but didn’t pick them up later on during the meeting.
City Manager Michael Martinez said the rest of the proclamations were removed due to timing and will be considered true proclamations. e council’s May 6 agenda was long and councilors removed the proclamations budget item to save time, he said.
Since the Dianetics proclamation was struck by a unanimous vote of the City Council, May 9 will not be considered Dianetics Day in Brighton.
Brighton City Councilors voted to approve proclamations until about ve years ago, Martinez said.
Now, the mayor simply signs them and announces them at an appropriate meeting. Martinez said he expects councilors to discuss that policy at their next study
session meeting, tentatively scheduled for May 13.
Martinez said the request for the Dianetics proclamation came from members of the Brighton community. However, Denver TV station 9News reported on May 6 that the request actually came from Camila Miranda, the public a airs director for the Church of Scientology.
Controversial group
Dianetics teaches followers to rely on their analytical mind to make decisions rather than the “reactive” subconscious by identifying and healing mental and emotional scars left by traumatic events in their past — called “Engrams” in Scientology. ose engrams are identi ed and dealt with through a counseling process called auditing. Hubbard added the use of electropsychometers to Dianetics in 1952, a device that measures the ow of electrical current through they body. Scientology auditors use the meters to monitor a person’s reactions to the questions asked as they proceed through the Auditing process.
Hubbard died in 1986 and the church has been led by his protege David Mis-
cavige since then.
Scientology claims to have 8 million members worldwide with 10,000 churches and missions in 168 countries. It has since created numerous related e orts, including anti-drug addiction training “Narcanon”, the criminal rehabilitation program “Criminon” and educational “Applied Scholastics.”
But the church has also battled claims that it is a cult that uses information obtained during auditing sessions to blackmail its members. e 2015 HBO documentary “Going Clear: Scientology and the Prison of Beliefs” makes allegations of abuse against the church of intimidation, coercion and physical violence against members and those seeking to leave Scientology as well as the harassment of former members and critics.
Critics claim the number of Scientologists is much smaller, between 30,000 and 55,000 Scientologists worldwide.
Dianetics Day is one of six holidays the Church of Scientology recognizes. Other include L. Ron Hubbard’s March 13 birthday, Sea Org Day on Aug. 12 and Auditors Day on the second Sunday of September.
A new life for Keenesburg newspaper
BY BELEN WARD BWARD@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
Keenesburg’s bi-weekly newspaper e Lost Creek Guide– which was owned and operated by Bob Grand who passed away in 2024 – now has a new publisher, Ed Morales, and owner-editor, Tammy Whitaker.
It is now called e Lost Creek Sentinel. “ is loss has impacted the ability of southeast Weld County businesses to
connect with their communities, especially given the challenges posed by limited internet access in outlying areas,” said Morales. “Print publication remains essential for maintaining connections between businesses and residents.”
e Lost Creek Sentinel is a monthly news publication that covers south Weld County, Morgan County, and rural Adams County. It’s available in Keenesburg, Brighton, Fort Lupton, Hudson, Loch-
buie, Orchard, Prospect Valley, Roggen, Wiggins and Weldona. Morales said he is pleased to announce the launch of a new print publication to address this void.
