Hundreds of L.A. union, faith and community leaders from Los Angeles County will challenge the new Arizona immigration law on July 29, the day the law takes effect. We will leave our identification documents (or “papers”) behind, and challenge local authorities to arrest us for violating the state’s racial profiling law. Thirteen chartered buses will leave L.A. in the early morning on July 29, 2010.
