Arizona SB1070 gets a double-spiked dagger in the heart

Judge Susan Bolton, who heard arguments this week on the first of the Arizona lawsuits, today granted a partial injunction against Arizona's SB 1070.

From every indication, Judge Bolton's decision has driven a double-spiked dagger into the heart of Arizona's racist and anti-Latino law. Judge Bolton's injunction blocks Arizona from making it a crime if an individual is not carrying his/her immigration paper and prevents the broad power of Arizona police to detain anyone suspected of being in the country illegally. The law would have gone into effect on July 29.

Opponents have called Arizona's SB 1070 an open invitation for harassment and discrimination against

Latinos and African Americans regardless of their citizenship status.

With the judge's ruling today, there might be no need for the court to hear the following pending cases relating to SB 1070:

CV10-0926-PHX-SRB – Frisancho v. Brewer, et al.
CV10-0249-TUC-SRB – Escobar v. Brewer, et al.
CV10-0951-PHX-SRB – Salgado, et al. v. Brewer, et al.
CV10-1061-PHX-SRB – Friendly House, et al. v. Whiting, et al.
CV10-0943-PHX-SRB – National Coalition of Latino Clergy and Christian Leaders, et al. v. State of Arizona, et al.
CV10-1413-PHX-SRB – United States of America v. State of Arizona, et al.
CV10-1453-PHX-NVW – League of United Latin America Citizens, et al. v. State of Arizona, et
al.
