Summary:

Discusses Supreme Court ruling in Arizona v. United States , which held that certain aspects of an Arizona statute intended to deter unlawfully present aliens from remaining in the State were preempted by Federal law, but also held that Arizona police were not facially preempted from running immigration status checks on persons stopped for State or local offenses. Considers implications that this decision may have for immigration enforcement activity by States and localities.
