Activists in Tucson, Arizona have been placing life-sized cutouts of Maricopa County’s insidiously regressive anti-immigrant law enforcement officials around town on street corners and at intersections, including one of the chief of armed despicability himself, America’s self-described “toughest sheriff” Joe Arpaio, and another of a Border Patrol agent, presumed to depict Nicholas Corbett, who just recently faced a hung trial for the second time after being charged with the murder of Mexican immigrant Francisco Dominguez in January of 2007.

I’m a bit late in posting this, but youth-led protests like this one are so awesome!  Over 400 youth across the Bay Area walked out of their schools on Halloween to protest Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s unannounced raids and terrorizing of Latino and immigrant communities over the past two years.  Joshua Kahn Russell has an exciting report-back up at his blog.  Via Indymedia.
