New front expected in fight over Arizona law
Lawyer News
An upcoming U.S. Supreme Court decision, which is expected to uphold the most controversial part of Arizona's immigration law, won't end disputes over whether local police can enforce immigration law.
Instead, it's likely to ignite a renewed assault on the law by its opponents.
The court is evaluating the law on only the question of whether Arizona's attempt to fix its border problems is trumped by federal law.
Opponents might then ask the courts to block enforcement of the provision in question on other grounds, such as racial profiling. The court isn't considering the possibility of profiling arising from the law because the Obama administration's lawsuit that sent the case to the court didn't challenge it on those grounds.
