President Trump Holds Rally In Phoenix, Arizona

An anti-Trump demonstrator shouts at Trump supporters outside the Phoenix Convention Center before a rally by President Donald Trump in Phoenix, Arizona. An earlier statement by the president that he was considering a pardon for Joe Arpaio, the former sheriff of Maricopa County who was convicted of criminal contempt of court for defying a court order in a case involving racial profiling, angered Latino and immigrant rights advocates.
