Arizona immigration law: Judge dismisses officer's challenge

A federal judge in Phoenix has officially dismissed a police officer's legal challenge to Arizona's new immigration law.

U.S. District Judge Susan Bolton last month had granted the request by Gov. Jan Brewer to dismiss Phoenix Officer David Salgado's lawsuit. But the judge also gave the officer 30 days to file additional court documents.

The officer didn't file those records, so the case was officially dismissed last week.

Despite the dismissal of several lawsuits seeking to overturn the law, the federal government's challenge to the law remains alive.

The U.S. Justice Department's lawsuit was the case where Bolton put on hold the law's most controversial sections.

Bolton's ruling has been appealed.

It seems Arizona would have more support to enforce States laws, since Texas and Arizona are the two main States immigrants are entering to spread throughout this Country, seeking ("Safe Havens"). Illegal aliens are smart people and they know before entering the U.S. which States are not enforcing immigration laws.

Well you have sheriff Dupnik and his officers who also refuse to enforce the immigration laws as well. Bottom line is if they refuse to enforce the laws they took an oath to uphold, then need to be decertified and removed from their position in Law Enforcement.

I agree any person whom is a part of or performing Law Enforcement duties refuses to perform assigned duties should be striped of rights to wear a uniform and badge. So many are becoming involved with illegal substances and drug cartels it is really hard to detect motives for not wanting to perform job duties when so many American lives are risk of illegal aliens criminal actions nationwide.
