Arizona: Undocumented Protesters Arrested After Revealing Status Outside Arpaio Trial

Four undocumented residents of Arizona were arrested on Tuesday after publicly revealing their immigration status outside the discrimination trial of Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio. Plaintiffs represented by civil rights groups are accusing Arpaio of violating the rights of Latinos by systematically targeting them for traffic stops and detention. As the case continued inside the courtroom, the four unfurled a banner reading "No Papers, No Fear," before being arrested. In a statement, the group said: "Today, we confront publicly what we risk every day, being arrested by the police, and separated from our families, only because we are undocumented. We’re confronting fear itself. We are undocumented and unafraid."
