Jim Avila rocked. I was lucky to work with Jim when he came to work in local news in San Diego. He loved being the smart guy in the room with younger reporters. We loved him back. He’d send the kindest messages after stories. Like this one on my last day. He made me feel like a million bucks

COMMENTARY: It appears Rep. Lauren Boebert did a brave thing today and deserves all our thanks. #copolitics

Outgoing conservative DougCo school board member Becky Myers said the quiet part out loud. Then, just a minute later, she denied they were trying to railroad it through before the new board took over. Regardless, the less than subtle attempt failed.

This may be the attention issues taking control of my brain in a guaranteed to be long Denver City Council meeting… But isn’t the ceiling in this room very cool? @ Trump White House ballroom: take notes.

Denver Mayor Mike Johnston is advocating for Flock surveillance cameras, sometimes using false or misleading claims. His claim that Flock cameras solved a missing woman's murder is not true. Her mother tells our @spencersoicher.bsky.social she is "shocked and appalled" by the Mayor's claim.

Can’t remember a time when all three major pro sports teams in Denver were this good at the same time. The Avs, Nuggets, and Broncos are all playoff teams and possible championship contenders. Yes, all three major pro sports teams in Denver.

Maybe my favorite interview I’ve ever had as a reporter. And it’s not even in person! This is Angelina Godoy. A researcher and professor at the Univ. of Washington.

Colorado’s two largest airports are not airing the new Kristi Noem shutdown-blaming video at TSA checkpoints. But the reasons for not airing it are quite different.

You're not imagining it. Trader Joe's parking lots are a special kind of hell. And it's by design. @spencersoicher.bsky.social reports for @nexton9news.bsky.social.

UPDATE: Flock says it is now pausing all of its federal pilot programs, including the one that gave local camera data access to CBP & Border Patrol. Flock said it made the decision last week, which follows @nexton9news.bsky.social reporting.

Is this the gates of heaven, or just the front entrance to my King Soopers?

Thousands of police departments use Flock license plate tracking cameras to solve crimes. Flock has assured the public that immigration agents don’t have direct access to the camera data. We found public records in Loveland, Colorado showing that’s not true. Flock now admits it gave CBP an account.

UPDATE: Loveland Police released a statement tonight, saying it stopped sharing data access with Border Patrol after filling our open records request this week. Police Chief Tim Doran refuted Flock’s claim that the agency had a 1:1 agreement with Border Patrol.

NEW: Denver has now cut off Loveland's access to its Flock automated license plate-reading camera data, a rep for the mayor's office says. The move follows this @nexton9news.bsky.social report, with records showing Loveland Police shares Flock data access with U.S. Border Patrol @kylec.bsky.social

NEW: Records obtained by 9NEWS show Loveland Police have given the Border Patrol access to a network of license plate reading cameras in Colorado. @spencersoicher.bsky.social reports. #copolitics

NEW: 🧊ICE is buying an eye-scanning technology to help deport people. Colorado has laws to regulate how local agencies use facial recognition technology. But there is no overarching federal law expressly regulating it. @nexton9news.bsky.social

Improvement! Growth! Rocktober right around the corner. #Colorado #Rockies

The Rockies were shutout and gave up three touchdowns at home earlier this year. 21-0. Two touchdowns and a field goal on the road is nothin.

Denver's new women's pro soccer franchise is demanding its own stadium complex, funded in part by taxpayers. Kansas City is the only other NWSL team with a purpose-built stadium and Denver taxpayers are projected to pay 10x more. #copolitics www.9news.com/article/spor...

Denver's new stadium project would use significantly more taxpayer money than Kansas City's stadium plan.

Despite the policy change, Police Chief Tim Doran said multiple times that he was "mystified" about public concerns over the shared access.

It’s 100° again today in Denver, so how much longer do we have to wait for the Rocky Ford melons to be in stores? 🍉 🍈 I want.

In just 30 minutes, we counted 462 cars with Colorado plates headed toward the Wyoming fireworks stores. If you can’t sleep this July 4, blame Wyoming!

If the proposed budget holds, it could potentially result in the layoff of more than 1,000 scientists and researchers in Colorado.

🧵Loveland Police Chief Tim Doran is defending giving the ATF access to LPD’s Flock account, despite the ATF using the license plate tracking network account to run searches for ICE.

The Capitol Building Advisory Committee was the first step in the complicated land use approval process.

The Rockies are promoting Dick Monfort’s son, Walker, to Executive VP of the team. The Rockies say Walker Monfort has been with the team 20 years and will bring “a fresh forward-looking mindset.” Dick’s other son already runs the scouting department. See you all in Rocktober!

How "Colorado" is this storm? A hailstorm in Aurora brought so much hail to one street that even a snow plow couldn't move enough of it to rescue trapped cars. Yet somehow, only one block looks like this. #colorado #wx #cowx #aurora

NEW: After our reporting, The ATF confirmed to 9NEWS it is running searches for ICE, despite Colorado laws that limit local law enforcement sharing personal information with immigration agents. Loveland Police says the ATF still has access to the Flock account. www.9news.com/article/news...

The Denver Field Office of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives confirmed to 9NEWS that an ATF agent has been using Loveland's Flock Safety account to conduct searches for Immigration and Customs Enforcement.

The Loveland, #Colorado Police Department's license plate tracking account is being used for 'ICE' searches. Loveland Police said it gave the ATF access to LPD's Flock account, and an ATF employee is responsible for the searches that listed "ICE" as the reasoning.

The level of self awareness to acknowledge the real reason anyone comes to a Rockies game 👏

Hear me out. If you want to blow a few million on a bridge, I’ve got one that’s begging for an owner. www.9news.com/article/news...

Brandon Nimmo: fan of playing against the 2025 Colorado Rockies. (and probably the #Rockies from 2024, 2023, 2022, 2021, 2020, 2019, 2016, 2015, 2014, 2013, 2012, 2011, 2008, 2006, 2005, 2004, 2003, 2002, 2001, 1999, 1998, 1994, 1993)

Colorado Gov Jared Polis (D) wants to build a $20M pedestrian bridge on the front lawn of the state Capitol. Who wants this? We asked the Gov’s office to point us to a supporter. They referred our Spencer Soicher to a woman being paid by the project. #copolitics

If President Trump's One Big Beautiful Bill passes, the $7,500 federal tax credit would expire at the end of the year.

The proposal would remove the city's longstanding requirement that builders include one parking space per dwelling unit in new developments.

We used to always debate if an Alabama football team could beat a bad NFL team. The answer was no. But do you think a Triple A baseball team would be better than 6-32, and down 19-0 in the 5th inning of a game? (yes, I know what you’re thinking. This Rockies team is a triple A team) #denver

The superintendent of School District 49 said it is too soon to know how the ban will be enforced. Critics say it's unenforceable.

The restrictions would particularly impact rural communities where alternative funding sources are limited, according to the broadcasters.

RFK Jr. claims autism is destroying families. Autistic people beg to differ and say his comments are dangerous Kennedy characterized autism as an epidemic caused by environmental factors. His assertions contradict his own department's scientists.

Nine International students studying at universities across Colorado have had their student visas revoked by the Department of Homeland Security. We’re still working to learn who these students are and if they participated in activism the Trump administration doesn’t like. #Colorado #Trump

Really trying to make myself get into TikTok. But half of these videos are ads. Is this everyone’s algorithm? Does this not drive people nuts? On a positive note, I’ve spent significantly less time on Twitter. I can already feel my brain healing.

President Trump is invoking the Alien Enemies Act of 1798 to deport people quicker and bypass immigration hearings. Trump’s plan follows the promise he made in Aurora, Colorado claiming Venezuelan gang members have a made a predatory incursion into the United States. #Colorado

President Trump’s tariffs on Canada just became a pain in the can for Coloradans. The price of your beer may have just gone up. www.youtube.com/watch?v=HK3U... @nexton9news.bsky.social

Joe Cardiello said his small but vital team was taken apart without so much as a word to his supervisors.
