Immigration protest at D-backs game

BOSTON - A coalition of immigrant groups are planning a protest outside Fenway Park as the Red Sox begin a three-game series against the Arizona Diamondbacks.

Tuesday's picketers are voicing their opposition at stadium entrances and holding signs to protest Arizona's controversial new law targeting illegal immigrants.

The law, set to take effect July 29, requires police conducting traffic stops or routine questioning to ask about immigration status if officers suspect those being questioned are in the country illegally.

The Diamondbacks have faced similar protests in Chicago, Miami and Los Angeles.

The law has sparked protests and calls for boycotts of Arizona products, including a recent call to move next year's baseball All-Star game from Phoenix.
