Roswell UFO Festival dispute pits museum and city
Tensions between the UFO Museum led by Julie Shuster and Roswell city officials flare over festival control and funding. Shuster accuses the city of trying to exploit her father Walter Haut's legacy, while Roach claims mismanagement and lack of cooperation harmed the event. A former mayor and UFO committee members acknowledge a growing schism as plans for Hall of Fame inductions and promotions clash with museum interests.

Arizona law on immigration enforcement faces challenges and backlash
LULAC critics say training materials for police rely on vague factors like appearance and language ability, risking racial profiling. The law, signed by Governor Jan Brewer, would require officers to question immigration status on reasonable suspicion, triggering lawsuits from the Justice Department and LULAC. The Arizona Peace Officer Standards and Training Board prepared the materials, distribution to 15,000 officers slated with no mandatory completion deadline. One district judge, Susan Bolton, has not promised a ruling before the law's July 29 start.
