What's CITY Talking About?
SLC Braces for Deportations
President Trump’s deportation policies are hitting Salt Lake, just as residents report immigration enforcement sightings via TikTok and Reddit. What have local officials, like the SLC School District, said they will and won’t do? [City Cast Salt Lake 🎧]
Stricter Vote-by-Mail Rules
Utah House Speaker Mike Schultz and other Republican leaders are supporting HB300, a bill that aims to tighten vote-by-mail processes by requiring voters to show ID to manned locations and restricting mail-in ballot returns unless they’re pre-approved. [Utah News Dispatch]
New Cactus & Tropicals Location
Right in time for Valentine’s Day, Cactus & Tropicals plant store is opening in Midvale today! Pay them a visit from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. [@cactusandtropicals/Instagram]
- And while you’re at it: Grab some pizza at The Bambino next door. [Hey Salt Lake 📰]
