TUCSON, AZ -- Customer complaints are prompting some Tucson stores to pull an illegal alien Halloween costume.
 
There are two costumes that are causing controversy. The one pulled by Target, Amazon, Toys R Us, and Walgreens features an orange prison-style jumpsuit with the words "illegal alien" stamped across the chest, and a space alien mask.
 
A second mask sold by Spirit Halloween stores has big green eyes, a mustache and a worker's hat.
 
Because of complaints, Spirit decided to pull the costume off store shelves Monday morning.
 
Tucson based human rights coalition Derechos Humanos spokeswoman Kat Rodriguez calls both costumes insulting and offensive.
