The Judge who stopped this needs to be in jail for breaking the constitution. I am going to find out who the judge is and information pertaining to this judge. There has to be a pay off here for this judge to stop this. We need to start screaming. One judge in California should not have the right to pass laws that effect this entire country.

Federal judge delays DHS plan to check Social Security numbers.

A federal judge Friday barred the Bush administration from launching a crackdown Tuesday on U.S. employers who hire illegal immigrants while she considers a lawsuit by the AFL-CIO that charges that the plan will harm citizens and other legal workers.

The ruling, issued by U.S. District Judge Maxine M. Chesney in San Francisco, California, prohibits the Department of Homeland Security from starting to mail notices to 140,000 employers about suspect Social Security numbers. The "no- match" letters warn of penalties employers face by having discrepancies in their paperwork.

The order was a victory for the labor federation and the American Civilil Liberties Union (ACLU), which filed suit alleging that DHS is overstepping its authority to enforce immigration laws and is misusing a Social Security Administration database.They allege that the letters are an effort to pressure businesses to fire workers whose documents are flagged and could expose countless immigrant workers - including law-abiding citizens and legal residents - to job discrimination.

Chesney granted the request for a temporary restraining order against the government, saying the court needs "breathing room" before issuing a decision on the DHS plan. She set a hearing for Oct. 1.
