There is an effort brewing to recall Phoenix Mayor Phil Gordon for being soft on illegal immigration.

It's being headed by an anti-illegal immigration group called American Citizens United.

FM News/Talk 92.3 KTAR received notice Wednesday by the group's leader, who will unveil details Thursday morning at 9 a.m. about the group's effort and petition drive they hope will be the springboard to oust Gordon from office.

In January, Gordon lashed out on KTAR about some of the people who've formed the group.

"And it's outrageous conduct on the part of these individuals that have proclaimed themselves judges of who belongs in our country and who doesn't belong in our country," he said.

The organization's members are members of a number of anti-illegal groups seen at many of the fronts in the immigration debate, including Pruitt's Furniture and the day labor center in north Phoenix.
