  • 25 JUNE 2012 - PHOENIX, AZ:  Arizona Governor JAN BREWER responds to the US Supreme Court ruling that overturned most of SB 1070, the state's tough anti-immigration bill, duing a press conference Monday. Brewer said the state won a major victory in the court's ruling because a narrow portion of the law was allowed to stand. The lawsuit, US v. Arizona, determines whether or not Arizona's tough anti-immigration law, popularly known as SB1070 is constitutional. The court struck down most of the law but left one section standing, the section authorizing local police agencies to check the immigration status of people they come into contact with.

  • May 29 - TEMPE, AZ: Opponents of illegal immigration and supporters of Arizona SB070 at a rally in Tempe, AZ. About 3,000 people attended a "Buy Cott Arizona" rally at Tempe Diablo Stadium in Tempe, AZ Saturday night. The rally was organized by members of the Arizona Tea Party movement to show support for Arizona law SB1070. The "Buy Cott" is a reaction to the economic boycott planned by opponents of SB1070. SB1070 makes it an Arizona state crime to be in the US illegally and requires that immigrants carry papers with them at all times and present to law enforcement when asked to. Critics of the law say it will lead to racial profiling, harassment of Hispanics and usurps the federal role in immigration enforcement. Supporters of the law say it merely brings Arizona law into line with existing federal laws.  Photo by Jack Kurtz

  • 22 OCTOBER 2007 -- MEXICAN HAT, UT: The San Juan River as it flows through Mexican Hat, UT. The San Juan is one of the most important rivers on the Navajo Indian Reservation but the tribe has never been able to rights to divert adequate water from the river. More than 30 percent of the homes on the Navajo Nation, about the size of West Virginia and the largest Indian reservation in the US, don't have indoor plumbing or a regular supply of domestic water. Many of these homes have to either buy water from commercial vendors or haul water from public wells. A Federal study showed that the total cost of hauling water was about $113 per 1,000 gallons. A Phoenix household, in comparison, pays just $5 a month for up to 7,400 gallons of water. The lack of water on the reservation means the Navajo are among the most miserly users of water in the United States. Families that have to buy or haul water use only about 15 gallons of water per day per person. In Phoenix, by comparison, the average water use is about 170 gallons per day.  Photo by Jack Kurtz

  • 15 AUGUST 2020 - MINNEAPOLIS, MINNESOTA: Women walk through the "Say Their Names" cemetery, honoring people of color killed by police near the George Floyd Memorial in Minneapolis. Floyd, an unarmed Black man, was killed by Minneapolis police officers of May 25 in front of Cup Foods, a convenience store at the intersection of 38th and Chicago Ave. His killing sparked a week of violent protests across the country. The intersection where he was killed is still closed and has become an unofficial memorial visited by hundreds of people every day. Saturday, more than 100 people gathered at the memorial to demand the city preserve the memorial. The city of Minneapolis had planned to start reopening the intersection as soon as Monday Aug. 17, but delayed those plans indefinitely on Friday, Aug. 14. City residents have created a “George Floyd Zone” at the intersection. They’re demanding the recall of Hennepin County Attorney Mike Freeman, requiring Minneapolis police officers have their own private liability insurance, and the allocation of funds for businesses and residents in the community.
