Louisville, Ky. (WHAS11) – On Thursday, dozens of members of Louisville organizations gathered to protest Arizona's new immigration law.
The law went into effect Thursday, but without many of its provisions, such as requiring officers to check a person's immigration status while enforcing other laws.
On Wednesday, a judge put a hold on one of the most controversial parts of the law. It would require that immigrants to carry their papers.
Thursday’s protest in Louisville was called “Show Me Your Papers.”
Attica Scott is the Coordinator for Kentucky Jobs with Justice.
"People in Louisville believe in civil rights and liberties for all people,” she said. “We want to support people who are struggling all across this country and we have to stand united or divided we will fall."
The Arizona law is expected to go to the Supreme Court.
