Activists who oppose the new immigration law in Arizona planned to protest Sunday outside the home of the Lakers, after coach Phil Jackson refused to criticize legislation that many Hispanics believe discrimination.
"I feel respect for those who oppose the new immigration law in Arizona, but I prefer to be careful when inserting the sports bodies in the midst of political controversy," Jackson said in a statement. The Lakers began the final night of the NBA Western Conference against the Phoenix Suns.

A reporter told him that the states can not be charged with monitoring compliance with immigration laws.
"There are usurping the just copied it, that's what lawmakers said they did," replied Jackson. "They gave edge to be able to enforce it."
