CITING CONFLICT WITH FEDERAL LAW, DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE CHALLENGES ARIZONA IMMIGRATION LAW; The US also filed a motion for preliminary injunction to stop enforcement of Arizona's immigration legislation.
Written by
Steve Garmo
WASHINGTON - The Department of Justice challenged the state of Arizona’s recently passed immigration law, S.B. 1070, in federal court today. In a brief filed in the District of Arizona, the Department said S.B. 1070 unconstitutionally interferes with the federal government’s authority to set and enforce immigration policy, explaining that “the Constitution and federal law do not permit the development of a patchwork of state and local immigration policies throughout the country.” A patchwork of state and local policies would seriously disrupt federal immigration enforcement. Having enacted its own immigration policy that conflicts with federal immigration law, Arizona “crossed a constitutional line.” The Department’s brief said that S.B. 1070 will place significant burdens on federal agencies, diverting their resources away from high-priority targets, such as aliens implicated in terrorism, drug smuggling, and gang activity, and those with criminal records.

Once the immigrants are identified, federal authorities will decide whether they should be deported, officials said. “The ability for local law enforcement to run fingerprints against the ICE database is a critical tool in protecting our streets and neighborhoods,” Oakland County Sheriff Michael Bouchard said in a prepared statement. “Aliens illegally in our country committing crimes in our communities is unacceptable.” Until now, authorities relied on the FBI’s Integrated Automated Fingerprint Identification System (IAFIS) to check the fingerprints of anyone booked in Oakland County. Under the new initiative, the county also will check the Department of Homeland Security’s Automated Biometric Identification System (IDENT). Oakland County…

USCIS Notice: Designation of Haiti for Temporary Protected Status + Q & A
Written by
"The Department of Homeland Security announces that the Secretary of Homeland Security (Secretary) has designated Haiti for temporary protected status (TPS) for a period of 18 months. DHS Secretary, Janet Napolitano, has determined that an 18-month designation of Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for Haiti is warranted because of the devastating earthquake and aftershocks which occurred on January 12, 2010.
