The state will not appeal a federal court decision to put on hold parts of Indiana's new immigration law, Attorney General Greg Zoeller announced today.
U.S. District Judge Sarah Evans Barker issued a preliminary injunction June 24 against two provisions of the law, one barring the use of consular identification cards and another allowing the arrests of people whose immigration status is questionable.
Zoeller's decision not to appeal the injunction means those parts of the law will not be enforced while Barker is hearing arguments by the American Civil Liberties Union of Indiana that the provisions should be thrown out.

Indiana Will Not Appeal Temporary Injunction of Immigration Law
The Indiana State Attorney’s Office says it will not appeal an injunction that temporarily blocks enforcement of the state’s new immigration law.
Instead, the state’s attorney general said he would devote his resources to fighting a lawsuit that seeks to throw out the law.

Laws like this need, no they must go all the way to the SCOTUS. Prop 187 in CA should never have been abandoned at the lower level.
To this day I believe prop187 would have been upheld by the SCOTUS.Join our efforts to Secure America's Borders and End Illegal Immigration by Joining ALIPAC's E-Mail Alerts network (CLICK HERE)
