    Supreme Court to hear Arizona immigration case April 25

    Supreme Court to hear Arizona immigration case April 25

    The United States Supreme Court on Friday set an April 25 date for oral argument on Arizona's immigration law, Senate Bill 1070.

    The high court announced in December that it would hear the case, but did not set a date.

    The U.S. Department of Justice challenged the law before it went into effect in 2010, and a U.S. District Court judge in Phoenix imposed an injunction preventing several portions of the law from going into effect. The U.S. 9th Circuit Court of Appeals upheld the injunction, and Gov. Jan Brewer petitioned the U.S. Supreme Court.

    SB 1070 states that the intent of the law is attrition through enforcement, to deter the unlawful entry and presence of illegal immigrants in Arizona.

    U.S. District Court Judge Susan Bolton's injunction stopped four parts of the law:

    The portion that requires an officer to make a reasonable attempt to determine the immigration status of a person stopped, detained or arrested if there's reasonable suspicion that person is in the country illegally. This portion also requires law enforcement to check the immigration status of people arrested and hold them indefinitely until the status is determined.

    The portion that creates a crime of failure to apply for or carry "alien-registration papers."

    The portion that allows for a warrantless arrest of a person in which there is probable cause to believe the individual committed a public offense that makes him or her removable from the U.S.

    The portion that makes it a crime for illegal immigrants to solicit, apply for or perform work.

    Whatever opinion the court issues will likely affect immigration laws in other states as well.

    NO AMNESTY

    Don't reward the criminal actions of millions of illegal aliens by giving them citizenship.

    Arizona Immigration Law's Supreme Court Oral Argument Set For April


    HuffingtonPost

    The Supreme Court announced Friday that it will hear oral arguments over Arizona's controversial immigration law on April 25, the Court's final day of hearings for the term.

    The case, Arizona vs. United States, tests states' abilities to pass their own immigration measures in an area of the law typically reserved for the federal government. The state of Arizona is seeking to reverse a ruling by U.S. Court of Appeals of the Ninth Circuit.

    The Supreme Court agreed to take the case in December, raising the stakes of an already-high profile term that will include a three-day challenge to the Affordable Care Act in March. Both cases will likely be decided at the end of the term in late June, just in time to impact the 2012 presidential election.

    Lower courts blocked four sections of Arizona's S.B. 1070 from coming into effect, including the provision that allows the police to check the immigration status of anyone who has been arrested, stopped or detained whom an officer reasonably suspects to be in the country illegally.

    Arizona believes that S.B. 1070 is a lawful supplement to, rather than unconstitutional invasion of, the federal government's comprehensive immigration laws.

    How the Supreme Court rules will likely affect similar laws in Alabama, Georgia, South Carolina, Indiana and Utah.
    Justice Elena Kagan recused herself from the case, presumably because of her involvement as solicitor general when the United States decided to bring suit against Arizona in 2010.

    More background on the Arizona vs. United States from The Huffington Post is available here.

    Hearing Set on Arizona Immigration Law

    Updated: Friday, 03 Feb 2012, 3:20 PM MST
    Published : Friday, 03 Feb 2012, 3:20 PM MST

    PHOENIX (AP) - The U.S. Supreme Court will hear arguments on Arizona's immigration enforcement law on April 25, in the last such hearing of the high court's current term.

    The court will review a federal appeals court decision that upheld a judge's ruling blocking key provisions of the Arizona law.

    One of those provisions requires that police, while enforcing other laws, question a person's immigration status if officers have reasonable suspicion the person is in the country illegally.

    Other blocked provisions would require immigrants to obtain or carry immigration registration papers and make it a state criminal offense for an illegal immigrant to seek work or hold a job.

    The U.S. Justice Department sued to challenge the law after it was enacted in 2010.
