Arizona v. United States -- Not A Victory for Arizona

It’s incredible to me that Russell Pearce, Governor Brewer, and other anti-immigrant groups are claiming victory in the Supreme Court’s decision today because one provision—2(B) was not struck down. That section requires local law enforcement officials to determine the immigration status of any person stopped under state or local law if “reasonable suspicion” exists that the person is unlawfully present in the U.S. In fact, the Supreme Court wants more information about how 2(B) will be interpreted by state courts and how the section will be implemented. So the jury is still out on 2(B).
