Federal judge enjoins AZ SB 1070

Federal judge Susan Bolton has just enjoined Arizona's racial-profiling SB 1070.

Parts of the law were not enjoined, but four major provisions were enjoined. A lawyer friend sums up those four provisions as follows:

* Section 2 dealing with the verification of immigration status based on reasonable suspicion

* Section 3 dealing with creating a state crime for failure to apply for or carry registration papers

* Section 5 which creates a crime for people unlawfully in the US to solicit, apply for or perform work

* Sectiion 6 authorizing a warrantless arrest of people who have committed an offense which makes them removable

The transportation and harboring provisions remain.
