    Court throws out Arizona sheriff's immigration policy challenge

    Court throws out Arizona sheriff's immigration policy challenge

    By Lawrence Hurley 49 minutes ago


    WASHINGTON (Reuters) - A federal appeals court on Friday threw out a lawsuit brought by an Arizona sheriff who argued that President Barack Obama's executive actions on immigration were unconstitutional.

    The U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit upheld a district court judge's finding that Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio lacked standing to sue, a provision in U.S. law that means he has to prove he has been directly harmed.


    He claimed his office had been injured by Obama's November 2014 orders that are designed to ease the threat of deportation for about 4.7 million undocumented immigrants.


    Judge Nina Pillard, writing on behalf of a three-judge panel, said Arpaio's claims "rest on speculation beyond that permitted" by the court's precedents.


    The Obama administration provisions would give temporary legal status and work permits to eligible immigrants.


    Arpaio, a longtime Republican firebrand on immigration, has had several actions stymied by the courts this year.


    In April, he admitted to civil contempt charges in a Phoenix court after failing to comply with several court orders banning his police force from racially profiling immigrants.


    The Supreme Court in June also upheld a 2014 appeals court ruling that struck down an Arizona law that denied bail to illegal immigrants charged with certain felonies.


    Obama's executive actions are currently on ice, after a Texas judge ruled against his administration in February.


    That more substantive challenge brought by 26 states, led by Republican bastion Texas, will be heard by the 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in July and could ultimately be decided by the Supreme Court.


    Republicans have brought a swath of lawsuits against administration officials on immigration and Obama's signature healthcare law over the past year, aiming to curb what they view as executive overreach.

    Appeals court rejects Arpaio challenge to Obama deportation amnesty

    Appeals court rejects Arpaio challenge to Obama deportation amnesty

    Sheriff Joe Arpaio can’t sue the administration to stop President Obama’s deportation amnesty, a federal appeals court ruled Friday in a decision saying it was too tenuous to try to argue that the amnesty will entice other illegal immigrants to try to make the crossing.


    The ruling marks a legal victory for Homeland Security — albeit a narrow one, because the U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia didn’t reach the actual substance of the president’s tentative amnesty program, instead saying the Maricopa County, Arizona, sheriff didn’t prove he was harmed by the amnesty.


    Sheriff Arpaio has argued that the newest amnesty, which Mr. Obama announced in November, would entice many more illegal immigrants to come to the U.S., adding to his workload as sheriff in a massive county near the border.


    But the three-judge panel rejected that as “unduly speculative.”

    “For the harms Sheriff Arpaio alleges to occur and be redressable by the injunction he seeks, aliens abroad would have to learn about the deferred action policies, mistakenly think that they were eligible to benefit from them, or harbor a hope of becoming eligible for future, similar policies as yet unannounced, actually leave their homes and enter the United States illegally based on that false assumption, commit crime in Maricopa County, become involved in — and costly to — the criminal justice system there, and be less likely under deferred action to be removed from the United States than they would have been without those policies in place,” Judge Nina Pillard said in the majority opinion.

    The amnesty has already been put on hold by a federal judge in Texas, and another appeals court in New Orleans is grappling with an appeal in that case.


    The judges in that case, in an earlier ruling, had found Texas and 25 other states did have standing to sue because the amnesty would add potentially hundreds of thousands of new people able to seek driver’s licenses or other public benefits, which are quantifiable costs — thus they were able to prove a harm where Sheriff Arpaio was not.

    What we need is a class action lawsuit on behalf of all of the victims of illegal immigration that can show they have suffered direct injuries.

    Sheriff Joe: ‘We’re Going to the Supreme Court’

    Maricopa County, AZ Sheriff Joe Arpaio reacted to a federal appeals court throwing out his lawsuit against President Obama’s executive actions on immigration by vowing “we’re going to the Supreme Court” on Friday’s “Your World with Neil Cavuto” on the Fox News Channel.

    Arpaio said, “we’re going to Supreme Court. We knew it was a tough battle in that appellate court down in Washington, DC, but we’re way ahead of the judge in south Texas, when all those governors joined, and I guess the judge put that on hold. So, we’re already in the appellate court, and now going to Supreme Court on this very important issue.”

    He added, “I think the Supreme Court may hear it, because you have different opinions from different district courts. Makes it ripe for the Supreme Court to look at it.”

    Arpaio also stated, “we have 5,000 people in jail on state charges that are here illegally, we turn them over to ICE, now last month, 40% keep coming back to the jails.” And “I think they’re letting these people out the back door, because if they’re not, we sure have a bad border down there. I think we agree with that. But, when they’ve keep coming back 20, 25 times, in my jail, there’s something wrong somewhere. So, something has to be done about it very, very–.”
