4) This week's summary
of under-reported news

Compiled by Bob Nixon

- On April 1, hundreds of anti-immigration activists, many of them
armed, gathered in Tombstone, Ariz. for a month-long mission to
intercept illegal immigrants trying to cross the U.S.-Mexico border.
- Campaign finance reform legislators are targeting politically powerful
independent 527 groups, like America Coming Together and Progress for
America, requiring them to register as political action committees and
obey the soft money ban passed by Congress.
- Rogue police officers in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil being blamed for a
massacre that killed 30 people in an apparent "payback" for an
investigation into police corruption and brutality that resulted in the
arrest of eight officers suspected of killing two men.
