Activists Scale Downtown Phoenix Crane, Display Banner that Says “Stop Hate. No SB 1070. No 287g.”

Hours before the Arizona racial profiling law, sb 1070, is to go into effect, a group calling itself “Stop the Hate” scaled a construction crane in downtown Phoenix in order to display their message. The group of four unfurled a banner that says “Stop Hate. No SB 1070. No 287g.” Two of the people are currently hanging hundreds of feet in the air hanging from the banner.

The group shared this statement:

“SB 1070 and the federal program 287g are hateful laws. President Obama has the power to immediately stop them both.

We came to Arizona to support those at the epicenter of one of the largest human rights crises of our time. We join Archbishop Desmond Tutu, Cardinal Mahoney, and an outraged global community in denouncing SB 1070 in its entirety.

We know a partial injunction is not a solution for the people already living under Sheriff Arpaio’s terror, the day laborers who will be treated as criminals, or the communities soon to see their police enforcing immigration laws.

We say ‘stop hate’ because SB 1070 is not immigration policy. Like the experience of the Irish, Italian, Chinese or others, SB 1070 is simply scapegoating and targeting of the most vulnerable among us in these uncertain times; times that should call us to stand together as a people. Within days of SB 1070 passing, we witnessed vicious hate crimes against Latinos in the Southwest. We know that hateful laws legitimize hateful acts and that tolerating their passage signals a dangerous direction for the country.

In Arizona, Feds Are Fighting a Monster They Built
 
President Obama’s lawyer has argued more than a hundred cases before the Supreme Court. Last Thursday in Arizona, he got served. 

Solicitor General Edwin Kneedler came to challenge SB 1070, the controversial law that would make police arrest and prosecute people suspected of not having papers. It’s set to go into effect on Thursday, July 29. The Justice Department has argued the law oversteps constitutional bounds by creating a parallel immigration system that threatens the federal one and interfering with foreign relations. Latin American governments are up in arms.

Looking federal Judge Susan Bolton straight in the eye, Kneedler indicted Arizona for ending an era of “great cooperation” between federal and state officials. For years, local officers have helped the feds perform deportation duties. “That doesn’t mean the state can make its own immigration law,” he explained.
