As a federal judge blocked several provisions of Arizona's controversial immigration law Wednesday morning, local law enforcement officials discussed how the changes would affect Yuma County residents starting Thursday.

Yuma County Sheriff Ralph Ogden said though staff was still reviewing the changes when he spoke with the Yuma Sun Wednesday, one thing is for certain: He said no one's rights will be violated and he wants everyone to be safe.

“I need the citizens to understand what's going on. We'll just stay on top of it. We've got the staff and we've got the people all across Yuma County who can handle it.â€
