Fresh after her appearance on American Idol, Shakira is headed to Arizona to protest the state’s controversial immigration law.
“As a Latina, I’m very concerned how this law can impact working Hispanic families,” the popster told Ryan Seacrest on his morning radio show.
“I think that being detained in the street just because of the color of your skin is just wrong, and it’s a violation of human and civil rights.”
The Colombian-born Grammy winner will hold a press conference with Phoenix mayor Phil Gordon followed by a sit-down with immigrant families and students to discuss the impact of the law, which enables local law enforcement to demand proof of citizenship.
