Judge upholds ‘papers please’ provision of controversial state immigration law
Judge upholds ‘papers please’ provision of controversial state immigration law
- 14 hours ago • By Howard Fischer Capitol Media Services
PHOENIX — A federal judge on Friday upheld what has been described as the “papers, please” provision of a controversial 2010 Arizona law aimed at illegal immigration.
- U.S. District Judge Susan Bolton rejected claims by immigrant-rights groups that a requirement for police to check the immigration status of people they have stopped for other reasons is racially discriminatory. The judge said while it may be that most of the people affected in Arizona are Hispanic, the law itself is racially neutral.
- Bolton also spurned a contention that the requirement is pre-empted because only the federal government can enforce immigration laws.
- Separately, Bolton upheld another section of the law that requires verification of whether someone who already has been arrested is in the country illegally. She said nothing in that provision expands the rights of police officers to make warrantless arrests.
- It “addresses circumstances after an individual is already in custody,” the judge wrote. “The law is not a source for state officials’ arrest or detention powers.”
- But Bolton did side with challengers of the law in one respect: She voided laws aimed at day laborers.
That section of the law makes it a crime for someone to stop a motor vehicle on a street and impede traffic in attempting to hire someone to work at another location. It also makes it illegal for someone looking for work to enter such a vehicle.
- A federal appeals court already had issued a preliminary injunction against the state enforcing those provisions. Bolton’s ruling, unless overturned on appeal, makes that permanent.
Karen Tumlin, legal director for the National Immigration Law Center, which helped represent the individual Arizonans who sued, said she was disappointed by the ruling.

U.S. judge upholds Arizona's "show your papers" immigration law
By REUTERS
PUBLISHED: 16:27 EST, 5 September 2015 | UPDATED: 16:27 EST, 5 September 2015
Sept 5 (Reuters) - A federal judge has upheld part of Arizona's contentious immigration law, rejecting claims that the so-called "show your papers" section of the law discriminated against Hispanics.
The ruling by U.S. District Judge Susan Bolton on Friday was on the last of seven challenges to the 2010 law. The section being upheld allows police in Arizona to check the immigration status of anyone they stop.
Bolton ruled that immigration rights activists failed to show that police would enforce the law differently for Hispanics than other people. The section is sometimes called the "show your papers" provision.
The judge also upheld a section that let police check to see if a detainee is in the United States illegally. Bolton voided any laws targeting day laborers.
Karen Tumlin, the legal director of the National Immigration Law Center, one of the parties to the suit, said the group was evaluating its options.
"We will continue working on behalf of our courageous plaintiffs to show that Arizona can do better than this disgraceful law," she said in a statement.
Bolton's ruling came two days after a federal judge approved a deal between the U.S. Department of Justice and Arizona's Maricopa County to resolve accusations of civil rights abuses and dismissed the department's lawsuit against Sheriff Joe Arpaio and his deputies.
