An Immigration Boiling Point Cools Down – Phoenix

The standoff in Phoenix between Latino protesters and immigration hard-liners has been taken off the boil.
For nearly three months, advocates for immigrants had been demonstrating on Saturday mornings outside M.D. Pruitt’s furniture store.
They were angry that the store’s owners, Roger and Michael Sensing, had posted off-duty officers from the Maricopa County Sheriff’s Office in its parking lot to keep Latino day laborers away, and furious at the sheriff, Joe Arpaio, whom they accused of using racial profiling and dubious traffic stops to sweep the streets for undocumented immigrants.”*
