NO RULING from U.S. District Court on SB1070
The federal court hearings that began last week in Phoenix ended Thursday without a ruling. The question is whether the state's new immigration law should take effect amid a flurry of legal challenges against the crackdown.
The courtrooms in Phoenix were packed as media, attorneys, politicians and other interested parties observed the debate on Arizona's immigration law SB1070 which should take effect next week. U.S. District Judge Susan Bolton is presiding over the hearings on whether the law should be put on hold and whether a lawsuit challenging it should be dismissed. Bolton held a morning hearing on a broader request by the American Civil Liberties Union and other challengers. That hearing also covered a request by Brewer's lawyers to dismiss the lawsuit filed by those groups. Judge Bolton said Thursday that she is required to consider blocking only parts of the law and not the entire statute. The hearing was on the Department of Justice's request for a preliminary injunction blocking key sections of the law from taking effect next week and whether state law is trumped by the federal government's constitutional authority to set immigration policy. Opponents of the law are still crying "racial profiling." Proponents are saying it is already the law and has been for years. They will enforce the law. Around 30 lawyers were in court representing the defendants, the State of Arizona. About 150 spectators were in the courtroom, many in a second-floor gallery. That is a LOT of people in a courtroom! Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer was in the courtroom Thursday afternoon. Brewer and several of her aides sat on a bench immediately behind her lawyers defending the law, and Judge Susan Bolton welcomed her. The law requires officers, while enforcing other laws, to check a person's immigration status if there's a reasonable suspicion that the person is here illegally. More than 80% of Arizonans, including the Arizona Latino Republican Association, support Senate Bill 1070.
