content: In solidarity with the Latinx community, the Phoenix Suns basketball team challenged Arizona's new immigration law on the court.
label: Description
content: In 2010 Arizona empowered police to question anyone on their immigration status, in effect targeting any Spanish-speaking person with brown skin. The Phoenix Suns decried the law as a violation of <i>our basic principles of equal rights and protection under the law.</i> In protest, the team played wearing jerseys normally reserved for Noche Latina, game nights begun by the National Basketball Association in 2006 to celebrate Latinx players and fans.
