  • 05 MAY 2003 -- SELLS, AZ: Six members of a group of 11 undocumented immigrants from Mexico walk along the edge of AZ Highway 86 after being released by a Tohono O'Odham tribal police officer west of Sells, AZ, the capital of Tohono OOdham Indian Reservation, May 5, 2003. The men were passengers in van stopped for a traffic violation by the tribal police, who found the immigrants hiding inside. The driver of the van was arrested for driving without a license, no insurance and having false license plates. The Tohono OOdham reservation covers a vast expanse of Southern Arizona and has a 70 mile border with Mexico. In recent years the reservation has been flooded with undocumented immigrants who pass through the reservation on their way north to Phoenix, AZ, and other cities in the US. About 1,500 undocumented immigrants, most from Mexico, cross the reservation, which has more land than the state of Delaware,  every day. According to the tribal government, the tribal police department spends about 60 percent of its resources dealing with crime created by the undocumented immigrants. Many times tribal police officers have to wait hours for the US Border Patrol to respond to calls to pick up undocumented immigrants. The officer waited for more than an hour for Border Patrol to arrive on the scene and eventually released the immigrants. Border Patrol arrived minutes later and apprehended all of the immigrants.

  • 08 AUGUST 2007 -- ISTANBUL, TURKEY: Men walk across the Galata Bridge, which spans the Golden Horn between the European parts of Istanbul, Turkey. Istanbul, a city of about 14 million people, and the largest city in Turkey, straddles the Bosphorus Straits between Europe and Asia. It is one of the oldest cities in the world. It was once the center of the Eastern Roman Empire and was called Constantinople, named after the Roman Emperor Constantine. In 1453, Mehmet the Conqueror, Sultan of the Ottoman Empire, captured the city and made it the center of the Ottoman Turkish Empire until World War I. After the war, the Ottoman Empire was dissolved and modern Turkey created. The capitol was moved to Ankara but Istanbul (formerly Constantinople) has remained the largest, most diverse city in Turkey.    Photo by Jack Kurtz
