Trump Orders ICE Back to Traffic Stops as Agents Welcome Reversal

By Jennie Taer | The Daily Wire "Not sure how they don't consult Trump about this before they send out guidance to every field office." After just one day of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) ordering officers to temporarily stop making traffic stops, President Donald Trump said he’d like them to resume, and federal immigration officers are cheering on his push. The pause on vehicle stops came in the wake of two fatal shootings of migrants by ICE officers in Houston and Maine.

Utilities Push Record $9.2 Billion In New Rate Increases During Second Quarter

By Scott Weiser | The Denver Gazette Colorado had no requests last quarter Electric and gas utilities sought a record $9.2 billion in rate increases nationwide during the second quarter, according to a new analysis by the consumer advocacy organization PowerLines, as utilities continue seeking billions for grid upgrades, reliability improvements and growing electricity demand.

The utility originally so...
