Arpaio and the Siege of the Wells Fargo Bank Building

1 of 20

Stephen Lemons

Demonstrator Kevin Greathouse is down on Pharoah Arpaio. Can't wonder why.

The anti-Arpaio protests outside the Wells Fargo bank building in downtown Phoenix continue into their third week, with people from all over the country joining the fray. Organized largely by local activist Sal Reza's group PUENTE, demonstrators are demanding that Sheriff Joe be evicted from his suite of offices in the posh pad because of his immigration sweeps. Currently, the Sheriff's two floors in the building cost taxpayers well over $600K per year. The protests take place 11 a.m. to 1 p.m., weekdays, at 100 W. Washington Street, Phoenix. You can read more about the politics behind the demo, here.
