PHOENIX (KGUN-TV) - Arizona governor Jan Brewer promised to keep the fight going against the federal government over SB1070, the state's controversial crackdown on illegal immigration.

Monday morning the U.S. 9th Circuit Court of Appeals refused to overturn an injunction barring key provisions of the law. Including the provision which would have required police to verify the immigration status of any suspect prior to that person's release.

U.S. District Court Judge Susan Bolton ordered the injunction pending a full trial. Governor Brewer filed to have that injunction overturned.

In a joint statement with Attorney General Tom Horne, Brewer called Monday's ruling dangerous to Arizonans. "I remain steadfast in my belief that Arizona and other states have a sovereign right and obligation to protect their citizens and enforce immigration law in accordance with federal statute," said Governor Jan Brewer. "Monday's decision...does harm to the safety and well-being of Arizonans who suffer the negative effects of illegal immigration."

Attorney General Horne noted that these sections of SB 1070 either mirror federal law or comport with earlier Ninth Circuit Court decisions. Horne stated: "I believe the Ninth Circuit decision will be overturned by the United States Supreme Court, and I pledge to make every possible effort to achieve that result."

On the other side of the issue, the civil rights group MALDEF welcomed Monday's ruling. ""The Ninth Circuit decision stands as a strong warning to any state that is still considering enacting its own unconstitutional regulation of immigration by replicating or expanding upon Arizona's ill-fated SB 1070," said Thomas A. Saenz, President and General Counsel, MALDEF. He added, "Such legislation will only invite costly litigation that will inevitably result in the unconstitutional laws being struck down."

The Anti Defamation League also applauded the appeals court's ruling. The group released a statement saying in part: ADL is gratified by the decision which recognizes that key provisions of Arizona's anti-immigrant law are unconstitutional. The court correctly concluded that these provisions are preempted by federal law and would have a "detrimental effect on foreign affairs."

The national latino group Somos Republicans is calling on Governor Brewer to, "show leadership to end the expensive litigation that is costing the State of Arizona millions and millions of dollars to defend."

The group stated, "SB 1070 has caused the State of Arizona economic damage and business leaders have spoken against these restrictionist laws that do not foster pro business and pro growth ideas."

The defense fund is NOT PAID FOR BY THE STATE OF ARIZONA...IT IS PAID BY PRIVATE DONATIONS FROM ACROSS THE COUNTRY! GET A CLUE AND STOP SPREADING THIS PROPAGANDA!

U.S. 9th Circuit Court of Appeals just said no to Rule of Law in Arizona and sent a dangerous message to the Drug Cartels, Terroist, etc, which is "we will not defend Arizona or any other state for that matter".

I don't see Arizonans cowering and and accepting that. When push comes to shove, we won't go quietly into the night in spite of the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals.
