PHOENIX – The nation's top civil liberties group on Wednesday issued travel alerts for Arizona, saying the state's new law cracking down on illegal immigrants could lead to racial profiling and warrantless arrests.
American Civil Liberties Union affiliates in Arizona, New Mexico and 26 other states put out the warnings in advance of the Fourth of July weekend. The Arizona chapter has received reports that law enforcement officers are already targeting some people even though the law doesn't take effect until July 29, its executive director said.
The alerts are designed to teach people about their rights if police stop and question them.

In my political dictionary, I got them listed somewhere between varmint and vermin.. leaning toward vermin.
The ACLU,, that is.
All the more reason to go to Arizona - the ACLU say’s “don’t”.
I think I heard that there is ONE safe-haven for anti-Arizona-illegal-immigration-law folks.. Yeah, it’s approximately 80 miles in from the border and it has signs around it posted by our fricking Government saying “Do Not Enter” because there’s a bunch of drug running Mexicans inside with heavy weapons. Enjoy! /Sarcasm
Slander: a malicious, false, and defamatory statement or report
remember when the communist party was underground in the u.s.?
Come on Down!!!!
You forgot the word VOMIT. That best describes the ACLU.. Chewing up and hurling our Constitution in tiny little pieces. “F-THEM” TO HELL. They are Satan on earth.
“the state’s new law cracking down on illegal immigrants could lead to racial profiling and warrantless arrests”
No it couldn’t. Not legally, anyway. They could always break the law and start rounding up people arbitrarily. Of course, if that was the plan you have to wonder why they bothered passing a new law, thereby alerting the ACLU’s eagle eyes to their secret intentions.
“remember when the communist party was underground in the u.s.?”
No.
If a person is not an adult and doesn’t know what their rights are......they are in big trouble. They should go back to school. Sounds to me like we all need to go to Arizona on vacation.

This works better.
Was that not in the ‘50’s?
You mean liberals / illegals are not going to go to AZ for the summer? Yahoo!!!! Makes visiting Sedona this summer even more inviting.
Good, the ACLU can stay away from there too.
So, if I understand the ACLU properly they’re saying that Arizona is a MUCH SAFER place to visit, as illegals will not be around much.
Sounds good to me.
Satan is most displeased with that comparison. Even the devil has certain lines that won't be crossed. :-)
The ACLU has no concerns about travel in North Korea or Iran, just Arizona.
