June 2 marks the 49th year after an assassin placed a bomb under the car of Arizona Republic reporter Don Bolles. His death spurred a nationwide effort among journalists to find out who was behind it. They are stories chronicling the Arizona political scene during the final weeks of the 1976 legislative session, noteworthy because they were the final stories written by Arizona Republic reporter Don Bolles before a bomb exploded under his car and killed him.

Had their immigration hearings happened two days before, the woman from Mexico and the father from Venezuela likely would be on their way out of the U.S. As it was, their hearing dates were May 23, a day that immigration officials did not arrest people outside the courtroom in Phoenix. Over two days, Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents made arrests at the Phoenix office building that houses immigration courts. But just as quickly as the arrests started, they stopped.
