State Sen. Russell Pearce, R-Mesa, in a statement released Tuesday afternoon, said he will hold a press conference Wednesday seeking the session so that lawmakers can respond to "recent attempts by the federal government to erode Arizona's progress in combating this problem," according to the press release.
Pearce said he expects to be joined by "more than 200 police officers and other supporters" at the Wednesday press conference, scheduled for 10 a.m. at the state Capitol in Phoenix.
Among those he expects to attend are Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio; Maricopa County Attorney Andrew Thomas; former congressman and current talk radio host J.D. Hayworth; Mark Spencer, president of the Phoenix Law Enforcement Association; and numerous local, state and federal law enforcement officials.
