Today we’re going to have the second part on our serieis about the relationship between Edgar Niebla and Alvaro Agon. Both are immigrants, both went through the police academy, but Edgar came here illegally, while Alvaro came here on a visa. KDNK’s Mathew Katz takes a look at what happened when immigration enforcement agents raided Edgar’s house, and Alvaro was one of the officers sent to deport him.
In the last City of Aspen election, a lawsuit emerged challenging access to ballot images. Now those trying to get access to the ballot images here in Colorado say they want to reform the process, arguing the ballots are the property of the people, not the government. KDNK’s Conrad Wilson reports.
Former Republican Congressman Tom Tancredo has formally announced his entry into the Colorado Governor’s race. Tancredo is leaving the party to run as a third party candidate on the American Constitution Party ticket. He’s said he has no choice but to step in because he believes the two scandal-ridden Republicans currently vying for the seat can’t win this fall. But as KDNK’s Bente Birkeland reports, many in the GOP are miffed over the move.
Over the past few months, KDNK has reported on a number of early-morning raids by Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents. Today we begin a week-long series about how the immigration system and those early-morning raids are playing out here in the valley. KDNK's Mathew Katz reports.
Tomorrow marks the beginning of Carbondale's 39th annual Mountain Fair...and the fair has come a long way since its humble beginnings. So let's take a look back at some of the first few Mountain Fairs from the 70's.

Last week, immigration agents and local police swept through the valley detaining and beginning deportation procedures on thirty alleged immigrant gang members.

This weekend will mark the 39th Annual Mountain Fair here in Carbondale, and no one knows more about the fair than Lori Loeb. The longtime local helped start the fair in 1972, and KDNK's Mathew Katz sat down with Loeb to find out what she loved about it back then, and what she loves about the fair today.
Mountain Fair is this weekend, and that means a ton of artists, musicians, and performers will be flocking to Carbondale. Among the most unusual is the band Potcheen (poe-tcheen) -- they call themselves Colorado’s premiere Celtic Pirate Folk-Punk Rock Band. To find out more about the wacky musicians, KDNK's Mathew Katz spoke to the band's drummer, Christian Blockenger.
