But for now the law, at least its most controversial parts, has been overturned. http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/us_arizona_immigration Would it be ok to enforce federal immigration law? Yes, but only if a state applies for and is granted federal authorization to do so (see below); but until that authorization is applied-for and granted, No. Generally speaking, state and local police do not have the authority to enforce federal law unless the federal government specifically authorizes them to do so. For those state or local police agencies who do want to assist the federal government in enforcing immigration laws, a mechanism is available for them to do so. Section 287(g) of the immigration code outlines a process whereby state and local governments can enter into agreements with the federal government (MOUs, or memoranda of understanding) that permit them to receive training and enforce federal immigration laws. MOUs are currently in place in Florida and Alabama. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

From the article: "The provisions that most angered opponents will not take effect, including sections that required officers to check a person's immigration status while enforcing other laws." "...In addition, the judge blocked officers from making warrantless arrests of suspected illegal immigrants." Those are the parts of the law that give rise to the debate over profiling.

The judge wrote (in part); "Requiring Arizona law enforcement officials and agencies to determine the immigration status of every person who is arrested burdens lawfully-present aliens because their liberty will be restricted while their status is checked," Bolton, a Clinton appointee, said in her decision. If you are arrested, how does this affect those who are not in the least involved.

Beachbum 0 #21 July 29, 2010 To me, it is just spin once again. The law as passed uses the word "require" ... and the court is putting a hold on that, but the court did not prohibit them from doing so, only placed a hold on requiring them to do so! It will be interesting to see how AZ law enforcement handles it.As long as you are happy with yourself ... who cares what the rest of the world thinks?
