Jan Brewer
Jan Brewer, Arizona's controversial Governor, an American state that in recent years has been harshly criticized for the approval, and eventual suspension, of a series of law initiatives against illegal immigrants and the LGBT community will not be running for a third term, local media reported.
Companies such as Apple, Marriot and American Airlines have come together to ask Arizona's Governor, Jan Brewer, to veto the controversial SB-162 law initiative, approved last Thursday, a measure backed by republicans that allows individuals and businesses to refuse service to homosexual people and other groups based on their religious beliefs.
Thousands of people including Vice President Joe Biden packed an arena in Prescott Valley, Arizona on Tuesday to honor the 19 firefighters killed last week while battling an Arizona wildfire.
Arizon'a SB1070 law effectively makes it a state crime to be an illegal immigrant to the United States and gives police the power to check anyone's immigration status, so long as they suspect that the individual does not have the proper documentation to reside here.
A coalition of immigrant rights advocated filed a lawsuit against the Arizona governor, stating that her order is unconstitutional.
