Changes to the Salt Lake County Jail docket are raising questions after some inmate details, including age and country of origin, were removed from public view. The Sheriff’s Office says the update is tied to newer privacy laws and county policy. Here’s a closer look at the key questions and answers: I asked the Salt Lake Couty Sheriff's Office Why were these changes made now ? This policy was not enacted in 2022. The Government Data Privacy Act (GDPA), outlined in Utah Code 63A-19, became effective May 1, 2024, and was updated by the legislature in 2025. On September 23, 2025, the Salt Lake County Council adopted Salt Lake County Policy #2022. Salt Lake County policies can be viewed at saltlakecounty.gov/policies/count… Since September 2025 when Salt Lake County Policy #2022 was adopted, the Sheriff's Office has been reviewing public facing data systems to ensure compliance with the state law and county policy. Compliance required coordination with legal counsel and system updates, which is why these changes were not immediate. What does the county policy require? The policy limits how much personal data agencies can collect and share. It states: “Agencies may only request and process the minimum amount of personal data from individuals that is reasonably necessary to efficiently achieve the purpose for which it is requested.” How does this affect tracking immigration status in arrests? The Sheriff’s Office said it does not determine citizenship or immigration status. That responsibility falls to U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement. What if a booking shows a federal detainer? Salt Lake County says they cannot confirm whether a detainer is tied to immigration enforcement. Anyone seeking that information is directed to contact ICE directly.

⚠️ BREAKING: SALT LAKE COUNTY SHERIFF'S OFFICE COVER UP IN PROGRESS ⚠️ @SLCO_Sheriff REMOVES citizenship & country of Birth, and ALL inmate identifiers off of the Salt Lake County Jail Inmate Lookup as of TODAY- 2/27/26. Taxpayers can no longer search inmates in the county jail and see any kind of basic identifying information on criminals. It appears my Hammer Reports- presenting the FACTS of who is being arrested, and for what, in our community- has struck quite a nerve. This comes after SLCo Sheriff quietly removed age, sex, race, and city of residence off the daily jail roster on 2/10/26, just two weeks after I began doing my Hammer Reports daily. An average of 42% of arrestees are caught and released daily- sometimes upwards of 66%- and the Sheriff's Office is protecting the basic identifiers of arrestees/inmates at the cost of the safety of the taxpayer who deserves transparency. After @RepubliKate read my statement to the @SLCo_Council on 2/24/26, with SLCO Sheriff Rosie Rivera in attendance, the Sheriff's Office updated their website citing 2025 GDPA, 2025 GRAMA, & a 2022 Internal Policy as to explain their recent decisions to hide critical information from the taxpayer. ⚠️*nowhere in these Utah codes does it explicitly the Sheriff's Office is legally required to censor this information from the taxpayer* ⚠️ They took it a step further today by removing this information off the jail inmate lookup. Now when KSL, KUTV, ABC4 says "a Man" committed a crime- we can't even verify his sex, because that is being hidden now too. Why is our elected Sheriff Rosie Rivera censoring criminal details from the taxpayer all of a sudden, after a crime victim and resident of SLC began shedding light on crime in the community via a data analysis? Please call your local representative and let them know this must be remedied immediately. @slcmayor @slcCouncil @ChiefBrianRedd @Clancy4Utah @VoteTrevorLee @KariLisonbee @UtahVote4Matt @mschultz_12 @gopTODD @danmccay

The last week of Jesus Christ’s mortal life is often referred to as Holy Week. This week, as we prepare for Easter, join in reflection of the hope and promise of the Savior’s Atonement and Resurrection in our lives. "And Jesus went into the temple of God, and cast out all them that sold and bought in the temple, and overthrew the tables of the moneychangers, and the seats of them that sold doves, "And said unto them, It is written, My house shall be called the house of prayer; but ye have made it a den of thieves" (Matthew 21:12–13). What distractions are keeping you from finding time to focus more on Christ? Because of Christ’s atoning sacrifice, we can find peace and holiness as we strive to remove distraction and sin from our lives. Pray for help to make that change in your life. #GreaterLove

MWEG is not a grassroots group of concerned Mormon women. It is a node in a pre-wired infrastructure, backed by billionaire foundations, staffed by State Department-adjacent professionals, embedded at the campus where Kirk was killed, and running a playbook that was ready before the tragedy. Again, I challenge @mormonweg to tell me how any of the above receipts is "absolutely false." Thread end.

Mormon Women for Ethical Government (@mormonweg) is quite upset that I dedicated a presentation to them to a Utahn Republican Women's group. They called it "absolutely false." I don't know what they are alleging is false, like Bill Kristol is among their biggest donors (as @labtechleigh found), or that their co-executive director Jen Thomas represents MWEG in a meeting series as part of a fractal ecosystem to transform America's governance. But in the spirit of last year's thread on @CODEPINK , I will do a 100% factual, zero opinion, receipt-based thread on MWEG to clear the air. As MWEG said - "be kind, but be direct." 💕💕💕💕

In June last year, Congressman Hamadeh wrote to AG Bondi about disturbing allegations of blank ballots commingled with voted mail ballots in Runbeck's Maricopa County warehouse. Part of the ongoing pattern of disastrous elections in State 48. The FBI has now seized election records in its expanding probe. justthenews.com/politics-polic…
