A new report raises concerns about conditions inside Colorado’s largest immigrant detention center in Aurora. Then, a long-distance bus network across the state is seeing explosive growth, but the popular service is also running out of money. Plus, a citizen police oversight commission created after the Black Lives Matter protests is now asking to be disbanded. And we take you to one of Colorado’s fiercest competitions this year…. A high school student's battle for the state poetry title.
