Thread: Federal judge blocks key parts of SB 1070

Bolten was appointed by Clinton. No wonder several parts of SB 1070 are dropped. Pro-illegals are very happy today. Americans are being screwed by judges and Obama.

Thank you for posting a link to the ruling JohnDoe2.

Psalm 23, it is written, "The Lord is my Shepherd."

What parts of the law have actually survived? It seems as if the key portions of the law where struck down.

PHOENIX — U.S. District Court Judge Susan Bolton issued a preliminary injunction Wednesday preventing several sections of Arizona's plan to crack down on illegal immigration from becoming law, at least until the courts have a chance to hear the full case.
Key portions of the law that will not go into effect Thursday:

• The part that requires an officer to make a reasonable attempt to determine the immigration status of a person stopped, detained or arrested if there's reasonable suspicion he or she is in the country illegally.

• The part that creates a crime of failure to apply for or carry "alien-registration papers."

• The part that makes it a crime for illegal immigrants to solicit, apply for or perform work. (This does not include the section on day laborers.)

• The part that allows for a warrantless arrest of a person where there is probable cause to believe he or she has committed a public offense that makes them removable from the USA.

The ruling says authorities must enforce federal immigration rules to the fullest extent of the law when the bill goes into effect at 12:01 a.m. Thursday. Individuals will be able to sue an agency if they adopt a policy that restricts such enforcement.

Bolton did not halt the part of the law that creates misdemeanor crimes for harboring and transporting illegal immigrants.

Bolton's ruling followed hearings on three of seven federal lawsuits challenging the law. Plaintiffs include the U.S. Department of Justice, the American Civil Liberties Union, Phoenix and Tucson police officers, municipalities, illegal immigrants and non-profit groups.

She denied legal requests by Republican Gov. Jan Brewer, Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio and several other defendants seeking to have the lawsuits dismissed because, they argued, the plaintiffs did not prove they would be harmed by the law if it went into effect.

Hearings will be scheduled on the full case in the seven lawsuits. All or some of the suits could be consolidated. A full court hearing is likely to involve appeals, possibly as far as the U.S. Supreme Court, and could take several years.

Brewer was giving a speech in Tucson on Wednesday morning when news of the ruling broke and was not immediately available for comment. Campaign spokesman Doug Cole said her staff was reviewing Bolton's order and would brief the governor as soon as possible.

Republican state Rep. John Kavanagh, one of the co-sponsors of the bill, called Bolton's ruling "very disappointing," saying she "went to the meat of the law."

"The decision is very disappointing," Kavanagh said. "Those were major parts of the law that helped us battle illegal immigration. I assume that we will immediately appeal to the 9th Circuit (Court of Appeals)."

Kavanagh said the state remained committed to defending the law and seeing it enacted. "This is only the start of the legal battle."

David Gonzales, U.S. marshal in Arizona, whose agency is charged with security at the federal courthouse in downtown Phoenix, said the building was closed to the public except for those who have business there.

Gonzales said there was some concern about protesters in the wake of Bolton's ruling.

"When you have situations like this, emotions are running high on both ends," Gonzales said, "so the potential for violence is high."

This part is disappointing, it allows the sanctuary cities to remain. Yep this judge cares nothing for Americans.

The law still upholds NO SANCTUARY CITIES in AZ.

Guess I am confused then, if police do not check immigration status, doesn't that make it a sanctuary city?

If one is arrested then they will be run thru ICE.

Phoenix PD was not doing this before.

But if they are stopped for speeding, no license, or other infractions they will be let go. Do I have that right?

In a career defining moment the judge has chosen the NWO and the globalists at the expense of the backbone of the United States, the US working class. I guess she thinks that she would rather be in debt to the NWO than to the people who pay her wages - I guess she thinks that she is wealthy enough to survive what is coming to a street near you. She has sacrificed all standing with US citizens.

Goodbye Judge Bolton.
