LatinoJustice PRLDEF to file Amicus challenging Arizona Law

LatinoJustice PRLDEF is preparing to file an Amicus Curiae brief on behalf of Latino and other Civil Rights Organizations challenging Arizona Law SB 1070.

SB 1070, which was signed by Arizona Governor Jan Brewer on April, 23, is scheduled to take effect 90 days after the legislative session ends this week.

The law makes it a misdemeanor to lack proper immigration documents in Arizona. It requires police officers, if they form a “reasonable suspicion” that someone is undocumented, to determine the person’s immigration status. Another provision of the new law makes it a crime for an undocumented person to be in Arizona.
