Activists to join anti-Arizona law rally

A group of local activists plan to travel to Arizona to rally with others who are critical of the state's new immigration enforcement law.
Los Amigos – a group made up of Latino leaders in Orange County – is organizing a contingent of people to ride in a solidarity bus June 13 to Phoenix.
"It's to show that many members of our community in Orange County ... one of the most conservative counties in Orange County not only care what's going on in other parts of the nation but also that SB1070 is, in our opinion, an issue of civil rights," said Alfredo Amezcua, who helps lead the group.
The solidarity bus is just the latest attempt by local residents to show of support or opposition to the law.
