A LOCAL IMMIGRANT and a DACA recipient spoke with the Montrose Daily Press this week after the US Supreme Court ruled the Trump administration would have to change its procedures in order to eliminate the program that protects the legal status of many immigrants who were brought into the country as children. He says he's just as American as anyone he grew up with.
THE PURPORTED CULT LEADER Madani Ceus was sentenced Friday for her part in the deaths of two young sisters, Makayla Roberts and Hannah Marshall. A Gunnison jury decided she deserved 64 years in prison, 32 for both charges of child abuse resulting in death. Those sentences will be served consecutively. This is seemingly one of the final chapters in the tragic story of a religious group who took up on a ranch in Norwood, where things turned bad. We've been following the case diligently, as you probably know if you're a reader. Pictured is Ceus, with a mask, as per COVID-19 guidelines.

BLACK LIVES MATTER MONTROSE helped local families Friday when the group handed out bags of food to those in need. It was how they chose to recognize Juneteenth. If you don't know much about the June 19 holiday, it's got an interesting history. It's the day that black slaves in Galveston, Texas learned about their freedom, about two years after the end of the Civil War. Amid Black Lives Matter protests all over the country, there is a movement rising to make Juneteenth a federal paid holiday. Pictured above is Tanasha Marie, founder of Black Lives Matter Montrose, handing out one of the bags of food on Friday.
