Also, Sheriff Mikesell offers his take on Denver City Council attempting to enact a mask ban for federal ICE agents to be enforced by officers in the Denver Police Department.

Ryan breaks down the latest in the FBI revelations shared with the public on the Nancy Guthrie kidnapping case, using the latest technology to retrieve video of the suspect on her front porch.

Also, ACLU attorney Ariane Frosh gives a breathtakingly stupid take on harsher penalties for child sex traffickers, saying judges should be able to take into account extenuating circumstances in the sentencing for such offenders.
