The border town of Columbus, New Mexico, whose past claim to fame consisted of being on the short end of a Pancho Villa raid that resulted in Woodrow Wilson sending some 10,000 soldiers streaming across the border in a futile search for the now famous, and not unrelatedly so, bandito, has now earned for itself a second mark of distinction. It has disbanded its Police Department! The city's mayor and chief of police have been implicated in a gun trafficking scheme that sent weapons, including the ever popular AK-47, into nearby Mexico. The entire police department, at least those who aren't currently facing criminal charges and thus otherwise occupied, have been "reassigned" pending the ever-optimistic phrase upon further review. There is a new sherriff in town. http://www.krqe.com/dpp/news/crime/raid-yields-police-chief-mayor

I have to wander what the ATF might have had to do with this? Just in the last 2 weeks the ATF were allegedly implicated in making straw man purchases and then turning the other way as firearms were smuggled into Mexico.
