- Private security company monitors immigration protests in Idaho, gives data to DHS.
- An Idaho-made film puts actors with disabilities in lead roles.
- Last summer, cities throughout Idaho and the nation saw people protesting the Trump administration's immigration policies. In April, Ryan Devereaux, reporting for The Intercept, wrote about a private cyber security company in Virginia gleaned data from social media about protests in more than 600 cities and gave the information to the Department of Homeland Security. This included data on gatherings in Boise, Pocatello, Idaho Falls and five other Idaho cities. On Wednesday's Idaho Matters, we talk with Kathy Griesmyer, public policy strategist with the ACLU of Idaho, Emily Creighton, deputy legal director with the American Immigration Council and Jesse Franzblau, senior policy analyst with the National Immigrant Justice Center.
- Two Idaho filmmakers sought to make a film that bridges the divide between the way people with disabilities are portrayed in film and who they are in real life. Gregory Bayne and Doug Cole created Making Sense, a film that moves actors with disabilities into starring roles. We talk with Cole and Bayne about this film and using the senses to explore the fears and triumphs that go with living with a disability.
