Another Challenge To Arizona Immigration Law Dismissed
Tweet
Phoenix (AP) – A federal judge in Phoenix has dismissed another challenge to Arizona’s new immigration law.
U.S. District Judge Susan Bolton on Wednesday granted the state’s motion to dismiss the lawsuit filed in July by the League of United Latin American Citizens.
The league sued over training materials distributed to Arizona law enforcement meant to guide the law’s implementation, claiming the materials promoted racial and ethnic profiling.
Bolton says the league lacked standing and failed to establish any real and immediate threat of harm.
Gov. Jan Brewer says of the eight federal lawsuits against the state, six have been dismissed.
Portions of the remaining two suits also been dismissed.
The federal government’s lawsuit against Arizona on portions of Senate Bill 1070 remains at the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in San Francisco.
