Governor Brewer was, not surprisingly, defiant today. On the losing end of this court battle: Arizona‘s Republican governor, Jan Brewer, who signed this bill into law back in April. All of those provisions of Senate Bill 1070 will go into effect tomorrow as scheduled.īut the most controversial aspects of this bill met at least temporary defeat today at the hands of this federal judge. She actually upheld a number of different parts of Senate bill 1070 - for instance, a provision that toughens state laws regarding human smuggling, a provision that makes it a crime to stop your car to pick up a day laborer, a provision that amends the crime of knowingly employing an unauthorized alien. Now, this judge didn‘t wipe out the entire “papers, please” law. This requirement imposes an unacceptable burden on lawfully present aliens.”

In the case of requiring illegal immigrants to carry their papers on them at all times, the judge ruled today, quote, “The United States asserts and the court agrees that the federal government has long rejected a system by which aliens‘ papers are routinely demanded and checked. In the case of checking the immigration status of everyone arrested, the judge wrote today, quote, “Requiring Arizona law enforcement officials and agencies to determine the immigration status of every person who is arrested burdens lawfully present aliens, because their liberty will be restricted while their status is checked.” Specifically, a provision that requires police officers to check the immigration status of a person they arrest if there‘s a, quote, “reasonable suspicion” the person is in the country illegally a provision in the law that makes it a crime to not have your immigration papers on you a provision that would require anyone arrested to prove their residency before being released from jail.Īll these provisions were essentially struck down today by this federal judge, at least temporarily-now, in some cases, because they infringe on the role of the federal government to control immigration policy and, in some cases, because what Arizona wants to do here is just too onerous. District Court Judge Susan Bolton ordered a temporary court injunction against some of the most controversial provisions in Arizona Senate Bill 1070. Eastern Time, a federal judge in Arizona put a temporary hold on those parts of Arizona‘s new law-the judge essentially agreeing with the United States government that those provisions go too far. With a ruling handed down today at around 1:00 p.m. Today, a federal judge in Arizona put a hold on parts of the state‘s new “papers, please” immigration law that was set to go into effect just six hours from right now.Īt the stroke of midnight tonight in Arizona, police officers were to be required by state law to demand the immigration papers of anyone they stopped who they believed to be in the country illegally.Īt the stroke of midnight tonight in Arizona, legal immigrants would be forced to carry their immigration papers on them at all times in order to prove their legal status. A dramatic legal showdown settled today between the federal government and its 48th state over the thorny issue of immigration. The legions of unemployed people get organized, and the most qualified person to head the new consumer protection agency gets dissed by the banking set.Īnd a wackadoo right-wingers get a new and super arcane constitutional boost in their efforts of rid themselves of the current socialist, communist, Marxist, fascist administration.īut we begin tonight with the United States of America versus the state of Arizona. Thanks for that.Īnd thank you for staying with us for the next hour.
