Federal Judge Blocks Part of Arizona Immigration Law

Federal judge blocks key part of Arizona immigration law


"...partial injunction requested by the federal government on the controversial Arizona immigration law, SB 1070.

"Susan Bolton has blocked the portion of the law that requires police officers to determine the immigration status of a person detained or arrested.

...and the provision that makes it a crime for an illegal immigrant to seek or perform work.

In all, Bolton struck down four sections of the law, the ones that opponents called the most controversial parts."
