Immigrant Rights Group Calls On Arizona Sen. Flake To Take A Stand Against Trump's Immigration Policy

Crowds of protesters are growing outside the home offices of U.S. congress members around the country. Here in Arizona, Senator Jeff Flake has his own critics. 

Members of Promise Arizona, an immigrant rights group, say Flake has taken a stand against the Trump Administration on bad immigration policy in the past. 

Dreamer Perla Salgado said it's now more important than ever that he continue.

“Families cannot wait, the lives of so many people depend on those who have the courage to stand up and do what’s right,” Salgado said.

Flake has consistently questioned Trump’s plan to build a wall on the border, and he’s supported paths to legalization. 

Protesters say doing nothing now would be the worst thing Flake can do.
