MONTGOMERY — Alabama law enforcement agencies aren’t ready to enforce certain provisions of the new immigration law that go into effect Thursday.

The controversial bill signed into law in June by Gov. Robert Bentley requires agencies to begin checking the status of suspected illegal immigrants during normal traffic stops. That means training for on-line officers and supervisors — not to mention attorneys for law enforcement agencies.

The Justice Department and others sued the state in federal court seeking to halt the law’s implementation. U.S. District Judge Sharon Blackburn last week heard testimony, but has not ruled.

It seems that they are worried about being sued for not doing their job more than anything else. They don't like to be made personally responsible for not enforcing the law.
