Stories: Arizona's SB 1070

Supporters of Arizona's controversial anti-immigration bill, SB 1070, gather in the state's capitol to show their support. SB 1070 was signed into law by Governor Jan Brewer in April 2010. The law went into effect on July 29, 2010, but legal challenges over its constitutionality caused a federal judge to issue a preliminary injunction that blocked the most controversial aspects of the law from taking effect.

Arpaio is known for his tough stance on immigration and is a major proponent of SB 1070. He recently announced a new 1070 section of Tent City that will house exclusively violators of the new Arizona law.
