Reaction from Phoenix to restraints on Arizona law
Judge Susan Bolton blocked sections of the controversial law, S.B. 1070, that would have required police officers to check a person’s immigration status while enforcing other laws, and that would have required immigrants to carry their papers with them at all times or face detention. For reaction from Phoenix, we hear from Nadine Arroyo-Rodriguez, KJZZ Phoenix Public Radio news reporter for the Latino Affairs desk.
