Last week, the U.S. Supreme Court heard arguments regarding the constitutionality of the Arizona state immigration law, SB 1070 (meaning Senate Bill 1070). The focus on Wednesday was Section 2(B) of the law, which makes it necessary for law enforcement officers to check the immigration status of each person stopped or arrested if there is some suspicion that the individual might be in the country without proper legal status. For a good digest of all that transpired, check out the SCOTUS blog here. Note that a decision probably won’t be handed down until late June.
