Judge Susan Bolton Above the Law
Arizona Immigration Law: Key Provision Blocked by US Judge Susan Bolton
The most controversial element of SB 1070, Arizona’s immigration law, will not go into effect on July 29. Federal judge Susan Bolton issued a preliminary injunction against a key provision of the law, which requires law enforcement officers to check the immigration status of suspected illegal immigrants.
Which Parts of SB 1070 Were Blocked?
While SB 1070 will go into effect on July 29, the following elements of the law will not go into effect:
Requiring law enforcement officers to check a person’s immigration status while enforcing other laws.
Requiring immigrants to carry their papers at all times
Making it illegal for undocumented workers to seek employment in public places.
These elements will now be debated further, possibly up to the US Supreme Court.
