Federal Judge Blocks Key Sections of South Carolina Immigration Law

December 22, 2011 (1 min read)

"A federal judge Thursday blocked enforcement of South Carolina's Arizona-style anti-immigration law, siding with the Obama administration's argument that three of the law's provisions unlawfully enter the federal government's turf.  The decision from U.S. District Court Judge Richard Mark Gergel was a blow to South Carolina, which had sought to delay the case until the U.S. Supreme Court hashes out the Obama administration's challenge to Arizona's anti-immigration law." - IBT, Dec. 22, 2011.
