A well-written article that tells the story of a small town standing up to an overbearing sheriff. However the article's pretense at balance is only superficial in that the townspeople's "David v. Goliath" principles are the ones mainly highlighted; Sheriff Arpaio's commitment to his own set of principles gets short shrift, especially his duty to enforce laws that ensure immigration into the United States will proceed in an orderly, fair manner that sustains quality of life for American citizens, regardless of race, ethnicity or background.

Interesting story about the challenges facing citizens of Guadalupe, Arizona, after they confronted their sheriff about his anti-immigration tactics, causing him to cancel his contract and leave them without protection. The issues are very real, and placed in a dramatic context that make them that much more important. Look forward to reading more about this story.

I liked how it used a small town as a microcosm of the immigration debate and was a good example of coming back to do a follow up on a story viz the town confronting Arpaiao.

This is a balanced story reporting on the clash of power vs principle in a minority community in the Phoenix area. It lays out the situation clearly, is well sourced and takes no side.

Okay, for journalism. This sheriff is known for his apparent racial tactics. Glad I don' t live in Maricopa County, AZ. Appears to be very red-neck!!!!
