U.S. Supreme Court to Hear AZ S1070 Challenge

The U.S. Supreme Court will hear Arizona’s challenge to the injunction leveled against the most strident anti-illegal immigration provisions of S1070. The bill was signed into law by Brewer in April of 2010, but its measure that requires police to inquire about the immigration status of suspected illegal immigrants they encounter and its creation of a state law that makes it a crime to be in the country illegally were put on hold by U.S. District Court Judge Susan Bolton in July 2010. A subsequent state appeal to the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals was unsuccessful. The U.S. Supreme Court’s decision to accept the case was published in a court order this morning. The order noted that Justice Elena Kagan did not participate in the S1070 deliberations, and the court’s official blog reported that Kagan’s recusal is likely due to her former position as the U.S. Solicitor General.
