Preliminary Injunction to Stop Section 2b of
SB1070 filed in Federal Court
Press Conference Today
Date: Wednesday July 18, 2012
Time: 10:00 a.m.
Location: TONATIERRA (802 N. 7th Street)
Before SB1070 section 2b goes into effect next week the plaintiffs of the racial profiling law suit Valle del Sol vs. Arizona, including TONATIERRA, filed a preliminary injunction on Tuesday July 17 in an attempt to stop the ongoing community devastation caused by SB1070 and the proliferation of abuse by local police empowered to become ICE agents by the ruling. The plaintiffs have asked Judge Susan Bolton to stop the section from into going into effect under the Equal Protection Under the Law portion of the U.S. Constitution.
“It is a racially charged war of attrition
against dark skinned people, regardless of their origins. We hope this
preliminary injunction temporarily stops it,” said Sylvia Herrera from the
Esperanza Barrio Defense Committee.
The Barrio Defense Committees (CDB) will have a series of actions this week to bring attention to the racial profiling effects SB1070 and the organized community response by the Comités de Defensa del Barrio.
