Supreme Courrt vs Arizona Immigration Law

No. 11-182 Title: Arizona, et al., Petitioners v. United States Docketed: August 12, 2011 Linked with 10A1277 Lower Ct: United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit   Case Nos.: (10-16645)   Decision Date: April 11, 2011 Questions Presented   11-182 ARIZONA V. UNITED STATES DECISION BELOW: 641F.3d339 LOWER COURT CASE NUMBER: 10-16645 Arizona enacted the Support Our Law Enforcement and Safe Neighborhoods Act (S.B. 1070) to address the illegal immigration crisis in the State. The four provisions of S.B. 1070 enjoined by the courts below authorize and direct state law-enforcement officers to cooperate and communicate with federal officials regarding the enforcement of federal immigration law and impose penalties under state law for non-compliance with federal immigration requirements. The question presented is whether the federal immigration laws preclude Arizona's efforts at cooperative law enforcement and impliedly preempt these four provisions of S.B. 1070 on their face. ~~~~~Proceedings  and Orders~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~   Merit Briefs Brief for Petitioner State of Arizona Brief for Respondent United States Reply Brief for Petitioner State of Arizona Amicus Briefs Brief for the American Civil Rights Union in Support of Petitioners Brief for the American Unity Legal Defense Fund in Support of Petitioners Brief for the Arizona Legislature in Support of Petitioners Brief for the Center for Constitutional Jurisprudence, Individual Rights Foundation, the Committee for Justice, Congressmen Ed Royce, Ted Poe, and Tom McClintock, and Indiana Senator Mike Delph in Support of Petitioner  Brief for Cochise County Sheriff Larry A.
