    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.

He investigated the mafia in Phoenix. But by 1976, Arizona Republic reporter Don Bolles covered the legislature. On June 2, he covered a Senate hearing before heading out to meet a source at the Hotel Clarendon. It would be the last story he filed. https://t.co/BCXpDPZ8bd
