MONTGOMERY, Ala. (AP) -
Activists are stepping up their protests against Alabama's new law clamping down on illegal immigration.
A dozen illegal immigrants are planning an act of civil disobedience on Tuesday afternoon at the Alabama Capitol in Montgomery.
Parents and young people will deliver a letter to state legislators asking them to tone down their rhetoric over the law. Organizers say the participants will then risk arrest by waiting for a response to their request.
Participants from as far away as California plan to join in.
Federal courts have blocked parts of the Republican-backed law from taking effect, but both supporters and critics still call it the nation's toughest state law against illegal immigration.
The Obama administration opposes the law, which is calls an overreach by the state.
