Today on Arizona Horizon, First, filmmaker Kristin Atwell Ford joins us to discuss her award-winning documentary, Castle Hot Springs: Oasis of Time. The film explores the fascinating history of Arizona's first resort and its impact on the state's tourism and railroad development. Through extensive research with institutions like the Arizona Historical Society and ASU, the documentary brings to life the stories of this iconic destination. Now available on Apple TV+ and Prime Video, the film continues to shed light on a unique piece of Arizona history.

Then, Richard Ruelas, reporter for The Arizona Republic, provides an in-depth analysis of recent immigration arrests in Arizona.

Ruelas examines the real impact of these enforcement actions and what they reveal about current immigration policies.
