From AzCentral:
The illegal immigrant who fatally shot a Phoenix police officer on Tuesday had been arrested by Scottsdale police last year, just two months after he was deported from the country.
What, he's not a "migrant," and the people who oppose his being in the country aren't "anti immigration advocates?"
The Star gets it right as well.
The man who shot and killed a Phoenix police officer before he himself later was fatally shot by authorities was an illegal immigrant, a federal official said Wednesday.
Ten bucks says that gets changed in tomorrow's print edition. A lot of the stories that are thrown up online have misprints, misspellings and other errors. I doubt the diversity committee will let that get through.

Ty is correct, not to make light of the story itself. Staff of incompetents + liberal journalists = duuh?
Here’s a direct copy of an azcentral.com front-page highlighted story last week (unintentionally humorous either way):
Women conquer their fears
Becoming an Outdoorswoman teaches women outdoor skills, from repelling to shooting, in an all-girl environment.

Good point, Greg. However, it should be noted that the Star paraphrases a direct quote, so, technically, they aren't calling the "migrant" an illegal immigrant. I'm really shocked AzCentral used illegal immigrant to describe the him. As others have said, though, it will be interesting to see how long this correct terminology lasts.
