It's a grassroots coalition called Communities in United Discourse Against Discrimination or CIUDAD which means "city" in spanish.
They're pretty much going after the new law and any leaders on board with it.
"We do not agree that local law enforcement should be permitted to question the legal status of an individual. Contrary to what HB2162 states we believe this will lead to profiling resulting in illegal detainment, false arrest, denial of services, and the alienation of many U.S. citizens," says Kate Hutson.
The group says it's a threat to our civil liberties. Therefore they look to hold leaders at every level of government accountable should they support similar legislation.
"We'll also want to affect the elections if we know someone is for this type of legislation we definitely don't want them in office so we will work hard against them," says Daniel Sanchez.
Congressman Randy Neugebauer is not threatened by the group. He says grassroots involvement at the core of our nation's foundation.
In a statement, he says quote "Without participation from an informed public, lawmakers would not be held accountable for their votes."
Neugebauer calls the Arizona decision a "Major stepping stone" and says the state is taking action because they've simply grown tired of years of inaction by the federal government.
Furthermore, Neugebauer says he's in support of an immigration policy that grants citizenship to those who follow the law and denies citizenship to those who have broken it.
Members of the group say they're currently drafting a letter explaining their stance to area leaders and those running for office. They're also planning a march set for the first week in June.
