In Arizona, major protests are planned for tomorrow to mark the day the state’s new anti-immigrant law goes into effect. The law will require police officers to stop and interrogate anyone they suspect is an undocumented immigrant. Many immigrants say they are trying to leave Arizona before Thursday. Italia Aranda is a twenty-year-old college student who moved to Phoenix eight years ago from Mexico City.

Italia Aranda: “Every time I go to school, I’m worried. You know, what if I get pulled over by the police and not make it back home? I’m just going go to school and study and do what I have to do, and still that’s a risk. So I think a lot of the people here in Arizona don’t understand that, you know, there’s more to people than just simply an immigration status or something like that. I mean, they have lives. They have kids. They have brothers, sisters. And to have to worry about that every single day of your life, every single minute, it’s definitely not fun.”
