This week we learn more details about the sentencing of Kaleb Fleck, a Flathead County man who pleaded guilty to the 2023 killing of Scott Bryan, a homeless man living in Kalispell. 

We’ll hear from local food banks about the effects of federal cuts to food assistance programs. 

And we’ll go over the details of House Bill 896, that seeks to criminalize the “harboring” of people with an unknown immigration status, which nonprofits say could put hospitals, churches and community organizations at risk.
