Activists rally for Arizona immigration law, appeal

A few hundred supporters of a new Arizona law that cracks down on illegal immigrants rallied in central Phoenix on Saturday, as tensions over the measure simmered.

Around 200 to 300 activists from several US states, some with placards that read "No amnesty" and "Secure our borders now," gathered outside the state capitol to support the law, a weakened version of which came into effect on Thursday. (Reuters)
