A federal judge is considering whether to block enforcement of a recent court ruling that would relax Maryland's handgun-permit law. The state is appealing a March ruling by U.S. District Judge Benson Everett Legg that struck down as unconstitutional Maryland's law requiring people seeking concealed-carry permits to provide a "good and substantial reason" for needing a gun.
Months after the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that the police's use of GPS tracking devices on suspects' cars constitutes a search for Fourth Amendment purposes, law enforcement officials, defense lawyers and lawmakers are trying to define the limits of the ruling. While police and prosecutors say the January 2012 decision in U.S. v. Jones has hampered their efforts to track suspects and conduct criminal investigations, some lawmakers are pushing to expand the scope of the ruling to cover other electronic information, such as cell phone data.
Congress Must Act to Reassert Constitutional Authority and Protect the Public Interest WASHINGTON, April 12, 2011 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- The Federation for American Immigration Reform (FAIR) sharply criticized the 9th Circuit Court of Appeal's highly politicized ruling which blocks key provisions of Arizona's immigration enforcement law, S.B. 1070. The decision essentially strips local law enforcement of any authority to enforce immigration laws except within strict parameters set by Homeland Security.
Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer has asked the U.S. Supreme Court to reverse a 9th Circuit ruling blocking enforcement of parts of the state's controversial immigration law, S.B. 1070, which allows police to check the immigration status of individuals. The move officially puts the case before the nation's highest court, which must now decide whether to take the matter up next term. At issue in the case is whether states have the ability to implement tough immigration laws, or if that area is solely within the jurisdiction of federal lawmakers.
DOMESTIC RELATIONS - The doctrine of res judicata barred the trial court's award of $36,322 to Appellee as matter had been previously litigated before a magistrate. As Appellee failed to appeal the prior ruling it cannot circumvent the appellate process by seeking retroactive enforcement of the prior order.
PHOENIX -- States that had been watching Arizona's immigration law in hopes of copying it received a rude awakening when a judge put most of the measure on hold and agreed with the Obama administration's core argument that immigration enforcement is the role of the federal government. The ruling marked a repudiation of the Arizona law as U.S. District Judge Susan Bolton indicated that the government has a good chance at succeeding in its argument that federal immigration law trumps state law. It was an important first-round victory for the government in a fight that may not be settled until the U.S. Supreme Court weighs in.
A federal appeals court ruled Monday that Arizona overstepped its bounds with last year's immigration enforcement law, handing the Obama administration another victory as it tries to squelch states' efforts on immigration enforcement. A three-judge panel of the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals, ruling 2-1, upheld a lower court's decision that Congress doesn't want states meddling in immigration. The appeals court said that nullifies Arizona's attempt to empower local police to detain and question those they suspect are in the country illegally.
PHOENIX - Opponents of Arizona's immigration crackdown went ahead with protests Thursday despite a judge's ruling that delayed enforcement of most the law, and dozens of people in Phoenix were arrested after peacefully confronting officers in riot gear. Gov. Jan Brewer called U.S. District Judge Susan Bolton's Wednesday's decision halting the law "a bump in the road," and her spokesman said they'd appeal to the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in San Francisco later Thursday.
PHOENIX - Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer announced Monday she will ask the U.S. Supreme Court to overturn a ruling that put the most controversial parts of the state's immigration enforcement law on hold. The planned appeal to the high court comes after Brewer lost an initial appeal April 11, when a three-judge panel of the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals refused to reverse a lower court's order that prevented key parts of the law from being enforced.
