    ATLANTA — A federal appeals court has temporarily blocked two more sections of Alabama’s tough new law targeting illegal immigration pending the outcome of lawsuits seeking to strike the law down entirely.

    Alabama’s law was challenged last year by both the federal government and a coalition of activist groups, and the cases have been appealed to the 11th Circuit. A three-judge panel in that court heard arguments in the case last week.
