The National Association of Hispanic Publications gave Salt Lake City Mayor Rocky Anderson a Presidential Award on Saturday during the group's annual banquet in Las Vegas.

In the federal raid at Salt Lake City International Airport, some 271 workers who were accused of lying on their job applications lost their jobs and 69 were jailed, most of them for Social Security and immigration violations.
