INDIANAPOLIS—Some 60 college students demonstrated here March 10 against an anti-immigrant bill before the state legislature. “SB 590 is similar to the Arizona anti-immigrant bill with provisions that allow cops to stop anyone for ‘probable cause’ and ask for documents,” said Margarita Villa, a student at DePauw University in Greencastle, Indiana, and one of the protest organizers. The bill also contains English-only laws that would eliminate translations of government documents, transactions, and meetings, she explained. Student protests were also organized that day in La Porte, Richmond County, and Bloomington. These were the first protests that Villa said were organized by Indiana Students United. The group is planning another demonstration at the state capitol on March 15.
