A plan is speeding forward for new passenger trains to take you farther into the mountains from metro Denver. Then, a Colorado judge blocks deportations and questions the Trump administration’s rationale. Plus, foundations offer a lifeline for arts groups who lost federal grants. And at fashion week in Denver, sustainable clothes are just part of what you can see on the runway.
