July 29, 2010 Brewer Vows Fight to the Supreme Court Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer said she was prepared to fight to the Supreme Court to defend Arizona's new law SB 1070 from legal challenges. A federal district judge yesterday issued a preliminary injunction that will keep key parts of the law from going into effect. "The Supreme Court -- with a working conservative majority -- accepts a fraction of appeals but may take this case because it presents a conflict of federal and state law, said Cristina Rodriguez, an expert on immigration and constitutional law at New York University Law School," the Washington Post writes.
Judge Refuses Ruling on Fremont Case "A judge says she's not sure whether lawsuits filed to block a Nebraska city's ban on hiring and renting to illegal immigrants should be heard in federal or state court. U.S. District Judge Laurie Smith Camp on Wednesday gave attorneys for the American Civil Liberties Union and the Mexican American Legal Defense & Educational Fund two weeks to submit briefs explaining why their suits belong in federal court," the AP reports.
Arizona Verification Law Still in Effect As Employers Lawsuit Awaits Supreme Court The Wall Street Journal says that despite the injunction against SB 1070, Arizona's employer sanctions law remains in effect, pending a Supreme Court review. "The Arizona Chamber of Commerce and Industry, a number of other state trade associations and the U.S. Chamber of Commerce are mounting a legal challenge to the law that is set to go before the U.S. Supreme Court within the next year. The high court already has agreed to hear the case, and its ruling could have far-reaching effects on businesses throughout the U.S. If the law is upheld, Arizona employers face the prospect of future local and state raids if suspected of hiring undocumented workers. That could reach to other parts of the country if states become emboldened by the law," the Wall Street Journal writes. In a related story, the Arizona Republic notes that most Arizona employers are not using E-Verify at this time.
