Phoenix Police have released names and photos of the individuals arrested during the SB 1070 march Wednesday evening. They were booked into jail because they were blocking Central Ave during rush hour and refused to move.

Nine people have been arrested after a protest march stopped in front of a federal immigration building in Phoenix. About 500 demonstrators marched in the downtown area Wednesday afternoon against Arizona’s controversial immigration law known as SB 1070.

Hundreds of chanting demonstrators filled the sidewalk in front of the Supreme Court on Wednesday, denouncing an Arizona immigration law that was under debate inside, saying it would spread fear among Latinos in the state.
