Arizona to Take SB 1070 Immigration Law
Directly to U.S. Supreme Court
Governor Jan Brewer, Attorney General Tom Horne, and Senate President Russell Pearce
announced in a press conference their decision to ask the United States’ highest court to and the
injunction keeping parts of Senate Bill 1070from going into effect. In response to an April 11, 2011
decision from a 9th Circuit three-judge panel to reverse a judicial order issued by a federal judge
to block the most decisive parts of Arizona’s toughest immigration law Senate Bill 1070 (SB 1070),
Governor Jan Brewer, Attorney General Tom Horne, and Senate President Russell Pearce held a
press conference today to announce they will take the case to the United Sates Supreme Court
directly. According to these politicians, their decision to take the case to the U.S. Supreme Court
is based in an urgency to enforce the U.S.-Mexico border and curtail the tide of illegal immigration
rather to wait for a ruling by the full 9th Circuit. The controversial law took effect on July 2010,
but legal action prevented SB11070 from taking full effect. Among the parts blocked are, the
requirement that local police enforcing laws not related to immigration to question people about
their immigration status when a they have reason to suspect that people are in the country
without legal documents. Arizona will need to file the petition by July 11 this year.
