Salt Lake Police Officer charged with stalking ex-girlfriend
Charges are allegations only. All arrested persons are presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt. SALT LAKE CITY, Utah (ABC4) — A current Salt Lake City Police Officer has been charged after being accused of stalking his ex-girlfriend. Todd Goodsell, 40, was charged with Stalking a Current or Former Cohabitant, a third-degree felony, on May 19, after allegedly stalking an ex-girlfriend he used to live with. According to court documents, the alleged victim broke up with Goodsell in November 2024. But he continued to reach out to her over various social media apps, using numerous profiles and at least 10 different phone numbers, including his work phone. Documents also show the victim told Goodsell several times to stop reaching out. The victim ended up blocking him on social media, moving to a new location and getting a new phone and email address. The Salt Lake County District Attorney notes in the documents that they believe there is clear evidence of danger to the alleged victim, citing concerning emails. The victim told Sandy Police she was concerned that the stalking would get worse and her life would be in danger and possibly end. The Salt Lake City Police Department released a statement on behalf of Chief Brian Redd, saying: 'The arrest of any police officer is a serious matter and is treated as such by our department. As with any person, this employee is entitled to due process under the law, as well as an administrative process that will determine whether any department or city policy or procedure violations occurred. We will respect and closely follow court proceedings. It is important to remember that an individual allegation does not define our department. Our employees consistently demonstrate professionalism, integrity, and a strong commitment to public service. I have full confidence that our employees will continue to carry out their duties with the professionalism and commitment our community expects and deserves.' Goodsell has been a Patrol Officer with SLCPD since 2019. He is currently on paid administrative leave.

Trump Exposes Sanctuary Jurisdictions Nationwide
(The Center Square) –The U.S. Department of Homeland Security has published a list of 'sanctuary jurisdictions' in 35 states and the District of Columbia. Illinois has the greatest number of counties listed of any state of 96, just a few shy of its 102 counties. All but one of Massachusetts' 14 counties are listed. Washington is not far behind with 36 out of its 39 counties listed. Fifteen states aren't on , nearly all are run by Republicans: Alabama, Arizona, Arkansas, Florida, Iowa, Mississippi, Missouri, Montana, Oklahoma, South Carolina, South Dakota, Texas, Utah, West Virginia and Wyoming. This is the first time DHS has published a sanctuary jurisdiction list. The list was published in accordance with an executive order President Donald Trump issued last month, 'Protecting American Communities from Criminal Aliens,' The Center Square . In it, Trump directs the attorney general and Homeland Security secretary to identify sanctuary jurisdictions that defy or obstruct federal immigration enforcement and are engaging in 'a lawless insurrection against the supremacy of Federal law and the Federal Government's obligation to defend the territorial sovereignty of the United States.' 'The prior administration allowed unchecked millions of aliens to illegally enter the United States,' the order states, which created 'public safety and national security risks,' exacerbated by cartel, transnational criminal organizations and foreign terrorist organizations operating in the U.S. 'who intend to harm … the American people.' Because Trump declared the U.S. was , he said the federal government must 'take measures to fulfill its obligation to the States.' He's referring to the 'Guarantee Clause,' (Article IV, Section 4) of the Constitution, which states the federal government 'shall protect each state against invasion.' Fifty-five Texas counties cited it when they were the only ones in America that declared an invasion during the Biden Administration, The Center Square . Because some state and local officials continue 'to violate, obstruct, and defy the enforcement of Federal immigration laws,' committing 'lawless insurrection against the supremacy of Federal law and the Federal Government's obligation to defend the territorial sovereignty of the United States,' the president said he is taking action. Trump's order also says these jurisdictions are creating national security risks, violating federal criminal laws, including obstructing justice, 'unlawfully harboring or hiring illegal aliens,' conspiring against the U.S., potentially violating the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act, among others. 'Sanctuary cities protect dangerous criminal aliens from facing consequences and put law enforcement in peril,' DHS said. Each jurisdiction is being notified of non-compliance, instructed to comply, or face legal action and withholding of federal funds. The initial list includes the District of Columbia and 35 states: Alaska: Anchorage California: self-identifies as a sanctuary state; 48 of its 58 counties; 63 cities Colorado: self-identifies as a sanctuary state; 41 of its 64 counties; 14 cities Connecticut: self-identifies as a sanctuary state; 6 cities Delaware: self-identifies as a sanctuary state; New Castle County; Camden and Newark Georgia: four counties, Athens and Atlanta Hawaii: Honolulu Idaho: Boise Illinois: self-identifies as a sanctuary state; 96 of its 102 counties; 7 cities Indiana: Monroe County Kansas: Lawrence County, Douglas County Kentucky: four counties, Louisville Louisiana: New Orleans/Orleans Parish Maine: two counties, Portland Maryland: self-identifies as a sanctuary state; 8 counties; 10 cities, including Annapolis, where the U.S. Naval Academy is based Massachusetts self-identifies as a sanctuary state; 13 counties; 12 cities. The list is missing Natick, whose officials voted for sanctuary status after an Iranian national was arrested there for his alleged ties to a terrorist attack that killed three U.S. service members, The Center Square reported. Michigan; six counties; Ann Arbor and East Lansing Minnesota: self-identifies as a sanctuary state; 20 counties; Minneapolis and St. Paul Nebraska: 10 counties Nevada: Las Vegas City New Hampshire: Hanover, Lebanon New Jersey: self-identifies as a sanctuary state; three counties; 18 cities New Mexico: 23 out of 33 counties; Albuquerque and Santa Fe New York: self-identifies as a sanctuary state; 15 counties; 12 cities North Carolina: five counties North Dakota: seven counties Ohio: three counties; Cincinnati and Columbus Oregon: self-identifies as a sanctuary state; 15 counties; four cities Pennsylvania: 11 counties; five cities Rhode Island: self-identifies as a sanctuary state; Central Falls and Providence Tennessee: Shelby County and Nashville, whose mayor is being investigated by Congress, The Center Square reported. Vermont: self-identifies as a sanctuary state; Burlington, Montpelier and Winooski Virginia: 20 counties; 13 cities, including the state's capital of Richmond Washington: self-identifies as a sanctuary state; 36 of 39 counties and five cities Wisconsin: two counties; Madison and Milwaukee While Texas is not on the list, some county commissioners and some in law enforcement have expressed opposition to working with federal immigration authorities in Democratic strongholds, including in Houston and Harris County, The Center Square reported. The Office of the Texas Attorney General also provides millions of dollars in grants to nonprofits providing legal assistance to illegal foreign nationals fighting deportation through a legal defense fund. The Texas legislature allocates the funds as part of the AOG's budget request.
