Utah should stand up for the rule of law and against federal ‘thuggery’ It might be risky to tell the truth. But it’s what must be expected of citizens of a free nation.
The Salt Lake Tribune ^ | Feb. 8, 2025 | By The Salt Lake Tribune Editorial Board

Under the restored Trump administration, the rule of law is giving way to the law of the jungle. Fear, suspicion, bullying and “thuggery” are ascendent, and it won’t only be immigrants and refugees who will suffer as a result.

It is going to be up to all Americans, public officials and private citizens alike, to stand up to the administration’s lawlessness and to publicly call out abuses of power whenever and wherever they occur.

Instead of Americans feeling called to snitch on their neighbors, reporting people they may believe to be immigrants here without authorization, we would be better served to report employees of ICE or other federal agencies overstepping their authority and spreading fear through our communities.


I guess the other 49 states can send their illegal aliens to Utah

The above explains a lot.

Wonder if they get any taxpayer money...

Utah makes no sense. Just look at the one who succeeded Mittens.

‘Administration’s lawlessness’ - the media just prints lies. Luckily, the majority of voters like Trump and what he’s doing as president. This paper will be out of business soon.

The editorial board TDS is on full display..

Love it.

I heard a cure is cutting oneself and jumping in the waters of the Atlantic, Pacific, Gulf of America or a Salty Lake

According to Microsoft co-pilot the SLC Tribune is liberal....the Salt Lake City tribunician liberal or conservative

The Salt Lake Tribune is generally considered to have a “Lean Left” or “Somewhat Liberal” bias2. Its coverage moderately aligns with liberal, progressive, or left-wing thought and policy agendas.

Are you curious about a specific topic or article from the Tribune?

All of the thuggery is fine for the Editorial Board when Biden is trying to jail someone who the Board disagrees with. Shoe on the other foot? Not so much.

The absolute intellectual bankruptcy of the American Left on full display.

After the last few years, I wouldn’t assume enough people vote for Deep State anymore.

BTW, CA, IL, and NYS are using taxpayer money to fund “local journalism”.

Is Utah?

We need to DOGE every state in union, folks.

All 50.

...creating a climate of fear in immigrant communities can only make all of us less safe.

Oh, grow up...how old are you...12? The "immigrant communities" have nothing to fear unless they are here illegally. If that's the case, I want them to fear being deported to a degree that causes them to leave US soil voluntarily. If they want to come back to the US, let them do it legally using the process that's in place for everyone else.

In presidential elections, The Salt Lake Tribune endorsed George W. Bush in 2004; Barack Obama in 2008 and 2012; and Hillary Clinton in 2016. The paper discontinued making endorsements for all offices (local, state, and n…

What is that… projecting, gaslighting, I get these fancy new terms confused. Whatever it is called now, it’s still a lie and intentional fraud.
