Protestors To Disrupt Arpaio Broadcast

Open border activists are encouraging protestors to disrupt Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio's live radio broadcast from Tucson on Thursday.

Coalicion de Derechos Humanos, a grassroots organization that opposes the "militarization" of the southern U.S. border, has demanded that Arpaio stay out of Pima County.

"We will not permit hatred and xenophobia in our community," the group announced on its Web site.

Arpaio said he is aware of the group's plan but he will not be deterred by its actions.

This is the second time the group has protested the sheriff's appearance in Tucson. The first time was when Arpaio visited the city to support Mitt Romney's presidential candidacy.

The sheriff plans to discuss his stance on illegal immigration enforcement on air before holding a book signing to promote his second book, "Joe's Law."

Recently, protestors disrupted Arpaio's book signing at a Scottsdale Barnes and Noble bookstore.
