PHOENIX, Ariz. - With less than 24 hours until the law will be put into effect, there is a lot going on Wednesday to stop SB 1070.

At 9 a.m., a vigil will take place at the state capitol. The vigil has been held for 102 days.

At 5 p.m., there will be an immigration protest at the state capitol, and thousands of people are expected to attend. Organizers said they will spend the night praying.

Everyone is waiting to see what Judge Susan Bolton will do. Her ruling on the controversial illegal immigration law could come at any time.

President Barack Obama has been fighting the law since it passed in April.
