AZ immigration appeal set for November 1

Following Federal Judge Bolton's ruling on Wednesday enjoining certain sections of Arizona's new immigration law that would have required the police to arrest any individual they had a reasonable cause to believe are illegal aliens, attorneys representing the State of Arizona filed an appeal before the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit. The Ninth Circuit has already set a briefing schedule for both parties and a hearing is expected to take place on November 1, 2010. More on this issue here.
