This week's Regional Roundup takes a look at how one Colorado family struggled with the loss of SNAP benefits during the recent government shutdown, the impact of immigrant detention on a Wyoming family, a Utah rancher shares her experiences of six decades of running cattle in her new memoir, and how the loss of federal funding is impacting public and community radio stations across the country.
