Judge Bolton prevents police officers from checking a person’s immigration status while enforcing other laws. She also blocked components that require immigrants to carry their documentation to identify themselves. Hearing arguments from attorneys from the Justice Department, ACLU and the defendants, the State of Arizona resulted in today’s ’stay’ being issued until further hearings to decide on the entire bill.
