SEIU planning protest of Arizona gov. before meeting with Obama

The Hill reports:
The labor union SEIU is organizing a protest of Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer (R) leading up to her meeting with President Barack Obama on Thursday.

A variety of activists will gather near Lafayette Park in Washington, D.C., just across from the White House's north entrance.

The protest is part of a broader effort on behalf of the Service Employees International Union (SEIU) to push back against Arizona's controversial new immigration law, which requires state law enforcement officials to check the identification of people they suspect are in the country illegally if they are stopped for other reasons.
It's not like Arizona's government has ties to Al Capone's operation, unlike SEIU.
