In just a few hours Arizona's controversial immigration law goes into effect minus it's most controversial requirements. Federal District Judge Susan Bolton today blocking a number of key provisions, for instance, the requirement that police check the immigration status of people they stop if there is a reasonable suspicion they are in the country illegally. The judge said that is the Federal government's business, not the states. Also, she blocked the portion of the law that would allow police to arrest someone without a warrant when there is probable cause to believe they've committed an offense they could be deported for. In addition, Bolton blocked the provision s making it a crime for lawful immigrants, citizens, not to carry their papers, and making it a crime for legal immigrants to solicit, apply for or perform work.
