Brewer to appeal Arizona immigration law ruling

The Associated Press | Posted: Thursday, March 29, 2012 10:33 am

PHOENIX — Gov. Jan Brewer plans to appeal a ruling that prevents police from enforcing yet another portion of Arizona’s 2010 immigration enforcement law.

Brewer will appeal U.S. District Judge Susan Bolton’s Feb. 29 ruling that blocked police from enforcing the law’s prohibition on blocking traffic when people seek or offer day labor services on streets, the governor says in a court filing Wednesday.

The ban was among a handful of provisions allowed to take effect after a July 2010 decision by Bolton halted enforcement of the law’s most controversial elements.

The previously blocked portions include a requirement that police, while enforcing other laws, question people’s immigration status if officers suspect they’re in the country illegally.

The U.S. Supreme Court will hear arguments April 25 in Brewer’s appeal of Bolton’s July 2010 ruling.
