The Catch Up is a weekly wrap-up of some of the stories that made headlines on KUNC's newscasts. Check out everything you missed this week.

The Supreme Court has agreed to decide whether state and local governments can enforce laws banning conversion therapy for LGBTQ+ children, in a Colorado case. The conservative-led court said Monday it'll hear a challenge to the law, amid actions by President Donald Trump targeting transgender people, including a ban on military service and an end to federal funding for gender-affirming care for transgender minors.

States that use the Colorado River say they don't want to go to the Supreme Court, but some are quietly preparing for litigation.

The case could end up limiting the scope of environmental analyses that the federal government conducts when considering significant infrastructure projects or management decisions.

The Department of Justice says Utah gave up the rights to the federal lands within its boundaries when it joined the union in 1896.

If the U.S. Supreme Court hears the case, it could drastically change the ownership and management of public lands across the West.

It鈥檚 been three decades since Colorado became known as The Hate State. Colorado earned that nickname after the passage of Amendment 2 banned anti-discrimination laws designed to protect the LGBTQ community. The new season of KUNC鈥檚 podcast The Colorado Dream looks at how Colorado went from approving Amendment 2 ... to electing the country鈥檚 first openly gay governor. KUNC鈥檚 Stephanie Daniel 鈥� who hosts the Colorado Dream podcast -- will discuss the new season on today鈥檚 In the NoCo.

A lawsuit in Boulder challenging the city's camping ban is facing likely dismissal after last week's U.S. Supreme Court's ruling on a similar ordinance in Oregon. The ACLU of Colorado filed the lawsuit in 2022 claiming Boulder's ban amounted to cruel and unusual punishment. The lawsuit wants to stop enforcement of the ban if shelter space is not available. John Herrick from the Boulder Reporting Lab joined KUNC's Michael Lyle, Jr. to get more on the story.

The decision means cities can now enforce anti-camping bans in public even if not enough shelter beds are available, and could have major implications for how localities approach homelessness.

The U.S. Supreme Court on June 6 ruled the federal government has been underfunding Native American tribes that run their own health care programs. It鈥檚 a victory for tribes in the Mountain West and beyond.
