Judge Blocks Key Sections of Arizona's Immigration Law
A judge on Thursday blocked the most controversial sections
of Arizona's new immigration law from taking effect, handing
a major legal victory to opponents of the legislation.
The law will still take effect Thursday, but without many of
the provisions that angered opponents -- including sections
that required officers to check a person's immigration status
while enforcing other laws. The judge also put on hold a part
of the law that required immigrants to carry their papers at
all times, and made it illegal for undocumented workers to
solicit employment in public places.
U.S. District Judge Susan Bolton put those sections on hold
until the courts resolve the issues.
Opponents say the law will lead to racial profiling and is
trumped by federal immigration law.
