Judge blocks parts of Arizona immigration law Posted on 7/29/2010
A federal judge has blocked the heart of the new Arizona immigration law.
Judge Bolton Ruling U.S. District Judge Susan Bolton said the controversial sections should be put on hold until the courts resolve the issues, including parts that required officers to check a person's immigration status while enforcing other laws.
Bolton said, "Requiring Arizona law enforcement officials and agencies to determine the immigration status of every person who is arrested burdens lawfully present aliens because their liberty will be restricted while their status is checked."
The ruling defused a confrontation between police and thousands of activists that had been building for months.
But the ruling isn't the end.
