Kalispell Murder Sentencing, Food Aid Crisis, and Montana’s Immigration Debate

We're back from a short hiatus! Reporter Taylor Inman breaks down the top stories shaping Northwest Montana. We begin with the sentencing of Kaleb Elijah Fleck, who received 50 years for the brutal 2023 homicide of a homeless man in Kalispell. Then, we examine the looming crisis at Flathead Valley food banks as pandemic-era federal funding disappears, threatening access to fresh produce and dairy for thousands of Montanans. Finally, we look at the controversial immigration-related bill moving through the Montana House and the legal and moral questions it raises for hospitals, churches, and nonprofits.
