TN: Immigration enforcement bill brings lawsuit threat
Immigration enforcement bill brings lawsuit threat

NASHVILLE, Tenn.
Rep. Joe Carr introduced a bill empowering local law enforcement officers to question suspects on whether they are legally in the country.
A similar measure in Arizona's toughest-in-the-nation immigration law that passed last year is currently the subject of a federal lawsuit.
Carr and Senate sponsor Bill Ketron, a Republican representing the Murfreesboro area, said in a Wednesday news conference introducing the bill that they believe their legislation will survive a court challenge.
That may be put to the test.
American Civil Liberties Union of Tennessee executive director Hedy Weinberg said the group would pursue litigation if the bill passes.
