Provo, Utah — Utah County commissioners voted unanimously to increase the Utah County Sheriff Department’s cooperation with Immigrations and Customs Enforcement (ICE). The commission met Wednesday afternoon and approved three agreements with ICE through section 287(g) of the Immigration and Nationality Act, a program for local law enforcement to partner with immigration enforcement.

The policy establishes secure data-sharing between ICE and the sheriff’s department, provides sheriff deputies the authority to transfer detained undocumented immigrants to ICE and creates a special task force within the sheriff’s department. The policy also involves immigration enforcement conducting training for some Utah County Sheriff’s deputies.

In 2001, the United States Forest Service established the Roadless Rule, a policy that prohibits road construction and harvesting resources in national forests. It conserves almost 59 million acres of land across the United States.

At the annual Western Governors Association meeting in New Mexico on June 23, the U.S. Department of Agriculture Secretary Brooke L. Rollins announced the Trump Administration‘s hope to get rid of the policy.

If this rule is successfully repealed, millions of acres of land will be eligible for road building and logging. This land includes almost 60% of Utah’s forest service land.

Real Salt Lake’s five-match unbeaten run came to a bitter end Saturday night at America First Field, as Eastern Conference powerhouse FC Cincinnati stole a 1-0 victory with a late strike from Luca Orellano in the 87th minute.
Despite controlling large portions of the match and outshooting the visitors 17-15 (7-4 on target), RSL (8-11-4) couldn’t crack Cincinnati goalkeeper Roman Celentano, whose seven saves secured his eighth clean sheet of the season. The loss keeps RSL at 10th place in the Western Conference standings, still clinging to hopes of a fifth straight playoff appearance.

On June 30, Samantha Crain took over the Kilby Court stage while on the West Leg of her “Gumshoe” tour. From the beginning, Crain was timid, but her vocal prowess said otherwise. In the same way that Bob Dylan changed the way folk music could be performed by bringing an electric guitar onstage, Crain exceeded all perceptions in her storytelling and stage presence. It was a small venue and audience, which created a close-knit and cozy environment.

The National Basketball Association has long been the pinnacle of entertainment for hoops fans, but the tides are turning in a major way.
From rowdy student sections to the mania of March Madness, college basketball is capturing the viewership numbers that the NBA is missing out on. Despite an eventful 2025 NBA season, college basketball is continuously rising, all while Adam Silver’s coveted professional league is coming up short year after year.

On June 9, a humanitarian aid boat headed for Gaza was intercepted by the Israeli military while in international waters. The entire crew, including climate activist Greta Thunberg and European Parliament Member Rima Hassan, was taken to Israel and detained.

The fact that Madleen was unlawfully seized will come as no surprise to those familiar with Israel’s tactics in Gaza. We must not act like this is an anomaly. This is the playbook. The seizure of the Freedom Flotilla’s Madleen is just another addition to the long list of Israel’s violations of international humanitarian law.

California’s January wildfires serve as a warning for Utah, where drier conditions, rising temperatures, and limited resources are raising concerns among fire and forest officials.
This summer’s wildfire season is already impacting Southern Utah. The Forsyth Fire, which ignited on June 19 in Dixie National Forest, destroyed at least 14 homes and forced widespread evacuations. According to ABC4, as of July 1, the blaze burned more than 13,000 acres and remains 32% contained.
Close to 700 personnel are assigned to the fire, including ground crews, helicopter operators and engine teams. Crews have been working continuously to establish fire breaks between Pine Valley and the advancing flames. The Salt Lake Tribune reported that evacuation orders displaced 400 to 500 citizens of Pine Valley. Officials also ordered a mandatory evacuation for Grass Valley and Gray’s Ranch.
Additionally, ABC4 said that the France Canyon Fire, burning near Bryce Canyon since June 11, scorched an estimated 27,000 acres and is 15% contained. While no structures have been damaged, approximately 760 personnel are involved in containment efforts.
