FOX 10's Sarah Acevedo talks with Phoenix Mayor Phil Gordon, who is trying to mediate the tension between Pruitt's Furniture and immigration protesters.
Protests at Pruitt's furniture store have been going on for almost two months. Last week, suspected illegal immigrants protesting were arrested. Now, 16 more were arrested and the Sheriff's office says it will arrest people who break traffic and safety laws. Immigrants Rights groups say they're being targeted.

This was the same place/protest where the ACLU lawyer was picked up by Sheriff Joe and crew, yes?

Yep.....one and the same place PhredE.

What a great day that was!!! A true sight to behold

Thanks for the reality-check azwreath.

Immigrants Rights groups say they're being targeted.

Could someone please tell me how in the world they can say they're being "targeted"?
If they don't go to Pruitts to protest, they won't be arrested.
If they go, they will be arrested.
If you go somewhere you KNOW they will arrest you, you're setting yourself up to be arrested.
But "targeted"? Targeted is when they're walking around the mall and are arrested. Not happening. Ergo: not being targeted.

Right!!! If anyone is being targeted, it is Pruitt's and the Sensings who are being targeted by them.

It also sounds like they are being picked up for tresspassing and then being run through the Immigration database. If street crossing in the wrong place is the crime of jaywalking why are they complaining about being arrested for walking onto a street and staying there to protest.

Next the ILLEGAL ALIENS and their SUPPORTERS will accuse JOE of running a STING OPERATION at Pruitts.
