Protesters filmed themselves chasing Sen. Kyrsten Sinema into a bathroom at Arizona State University and demanded she vote for President Biden’s Build Back Better agenda and take action to protect illegal immigrants:

And remind us again who was president in 2010:
🔴BREAKING: Blanca, an AZ immigrant youth confronts @SenatorSinema inside her classroom, where she teaches @ ASU. "in 2010 both my grandparents got deported bc of SB1070…my grandfather passed away 2 wks ago & I wasn't able to go to Mexico bc there is no pathway to citizenship." pic.twitter.com/JDZYY2fOD2

The protesters blamed Sinema for the confrontation:
We wouldn't have to resort to confronting @senatorsinema around Phx if she took meetings with the communities that elected her. She's been completely inaccessible. We're sick of the political games, stop playing with our lives.

One MAJOR problem for the protesters is Arizona has a law against videotaping a person inside a bathroom without their consent:
This is illegal in Arizona.https://t.co/AeY2pP9o0f

Man, it’s going to be wild if any of the people filming are in the country illegally and this is what gets them deported:
A few people pointed out that it's also illegal in the state to record someone in the bathroom.https://t.co/lMnCX70KXN

Other Dems in Arizona are defending the protesters as well:
Pro tip for politicians. A good way to not get harassed in restrooms by your constituents is to be available to meet and hear them out on the issues they are passionate about using normal channels.

Yeah, this is going to work.
