9th Circuit Court Hears AZ Immigration Case Appeal

San Francisco, CA
Monday, November 1, 2010

Arizona Governor Jan Brewer was in a San Francisco court as judges heard oral argument on the state’s immigration law. A Ninth Circuit Appeals Court will decide if an Arizona state law requiring its police to arrest & detain suspected illegal immigrants based on a reasonable suspicion is constitutional. A lower court ruled that Arizona pre-empted the federal government’s authority to set immigration law and stopped enforcement of this part of Arizona’s law.
