(After mentioning Garcia's participation in the destruction of a piñata depicting Sheriff Joe Arpaio and holding its head. The article adds)

Radio stations have asked its radio listeners to call and to send letters to the representatives of the government of Pima county, asking for the dismissal of Garcia. Sheriff Arpaio also sent a letter to the supervisors of this county complaining on the participation of the lawyer in the protest.

"This is a campaign to silence me which I am not going to permit", Garcia said to Efe.

"They want to repress the few voices that denounce the wave of racism in this state", she added.

The activist declared that she will defend her right to free speech, since when she participated in the protest she did it during her free time and not as public defender.

"As human beingI have the right to express myself and to protest when the power of the government is utilized to opress people", indicated the lawyer. The coalition reported that next week they will also initiate a campaign of support for Garcia, asking the Hispanic community to express its support through letters and phone calls to the Supervisors of the Pima county.
