Why is everyone talking about El Paso?

Earlier I posted about the US's safest cities- which all have heavy immigrant communities. Well, El Paso has a high undocumented population, lax gun laws, high poverty rate, and is right across the border from Juarez. But it also has the second lowest rate of violent crime in the country. Radley Balko explains this anomaly.
