Nev. bighorn sheep make new home in Utah

The helicopter hovered low, allowing a crew member to shoot a net over a desert bighorn sheep in southeastern Nevada.

A “mugger” jumped from the aircraft and ran over, giving the animal a shot to calm it down before tying its legs with leather strapping, blindfolding it, putting it in a sack and hoisting it into the air with three other sheep.

With that, the animals started their journey to rangeland in Southern Utah’s Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument.

Groups protest Ariz. immigration law’s enforcement

PHOENIX — A day after the most contentious provision of Arizona’s immigration law took effect, rallies were held around Phoenix to protest the mandate that civil rights activists say will lead to systematic racial profiling.

Police can enforce Ariz. immigration law now

PHOENIX — A judge in Arizona ruled Tuesday that police can immediately start enforcing the most contentious section of the state’s immigration law, marking the first time officers can carry out the so-called "show me your papers" provision.

The decision by U.S. District Judge Susan Bolton is the latest milestone in a two-year legal battle over the requirement. It culminated in a U.S. Supreme Court decision in June that upheld the provision on the grounds that it doesn’t conflict with federal law.
