5. News from the Courts: New Front Expected in Fight over Arizona Law The Associated Press reports that the upcoming U.S. Supreme Court decision on Arizona’s controversial immigration enforcement law is likely to ignite renewed assaults by the law’s opponents. Many opponents believe that the Arizona law is requiring racial profiling by mandating that officers detain and investigate individuals that they have ‘reasonable suspicions’ of being unauthorized. However, the court is not considering the possibility of racial profiling. It is only evaluating the 2010 law on the question of whether Arizona’s attempt to fix its border issues is superseded by federal law. If Arizona wins, opponents of the law say they will likely go back to lower courts to seek injunctions on other grounds. In addition, immigrant rights advocates plan to launch a public relations campaign, protests and a bus tour, if the court’s ruling upholds the law. The Supreme Court is expected to rule next week. Note: As of the writing of this newsletter, the Supreme Court decision in the Arizona SB1070 case had not been released. We will have a special issue of the newsletter when the case is released. ***** | |
