TIDAL BASIN REVIEW SB 1070 SPECIAL
―BY THE TIME I GET TO ARIZONA‖ 1
This section of Tidal Basin Review speaks to the concerns of those most affected by of Arizona‘s Immigration law, SB 1070. On Wednesday, July 28, 2010, U.S. District Judge Susan Bolton blocked key provisions of the law, granting an injunction requested by the Obama Administration. The injunction applies to the parts of the law that require a police officer to determine the immigration status of an arrested/detained individual while enforcing other laws against other possible crimes. Though parts of the law have been struck down, the remaining body of SB 1070 went into effect on Thursday, July 29, 2010. SB 1070 stands to cause a wave of similar legislation in other states. 1
