Judge Issues Yet Another Setback for Arizona Immigration Law
Two years after judges blocked the most controversial parts of a tough Arizona immigration law, a judge has blocked a less publicized part of the law in a move that seems likely to give its opponents even more hope.
It's been nearly two years since judges blocked the most controversial parts of a tough Arizona immigration law while the courts decide on its constitutionality. Now a judge has blocked a less publicized part of the law in a move that seems likely to give its opponents even more hope.
U.S. District Judge Susan Bolton ruled Wednesday that police can't enforce part of the law that prevents day laborers from stopping traffic while looking for work. The Associated Press notes that she put a halt to the provision because "groups seeking to overturn the law will likely prevail in their claim that the day labor rules violate the First Amendment."
