It has been almost one year since the first rumors of a Venezuelan gang started circulating in Aurora. A new report from the New York Times Magazine looks back at how those rumors blew up into an election-defining political issue and now unprecedented ICE raids across the Denver metro. So host Bree Davies and producer Paul Karolyi invited outgoing Denver Post immigration reporter Megan Ulu-lani Boyanton to look back at the whole arc of the story and all the other biggest news of the week — from the local grocery union's deals with King Soopers and Safeway to new safety concerns at city-run shelters.  Paul talked about dangerous elevators, Alteño, friend of the show slash CPR reporter Sam Brasch's coverage of geothermal energy, and Hold On to Your Butts: A Jurassic Park Rewatch Podcast. Bree discussed the local implications of the “Big Beautiful Bill” and the restoration of the “Confluent People” mural. Megan talked about the MCA's rooftop parties and a tragic accident at a city-run former hotel shelter.  What do you think about the Venezuelan gang story?
