Protests, prayers as immigration law takes effect

Phoenix, Arizona (CNN) -- The day after a federal judge halted parts of Arizona's new immigration law from taking effect, opponents of the legislation are hitting the streets with mixed expressions of relief and outrage over Wednesday's turn of events.

Several nonviolent demonstrations were planned Thursday throughout Phoenix to mark the passage of the legislation, which officially took effect at 12:01 a.m.

U.S. District Judge Susan Bolton's decision to grant a temporary injunction against some of the most controversial provisions of the bill came as a surprise to some opponents of the law, who thought that the conservative political climate made the legislation's enactment inevitable.

For them, Bolton's ruling had the effect of turning the would-be protests into displays of guarded optimism.

"We're using this opportunity to give thanks and prayer for what happened yesterday," said Phoenix resident Isabel Galindo.

Dressed in a floppy hat and wearing a rosary made of red, white and blue stations of the cross, Galindo showed up at the state Capitol around 4 a.m. Thursday to participate in a march to the Trinity Cathedral for an interfaith service.
