The federal government has stayed the main part of Arizona's SB 1070

US District Judge Susan Bolton issued a preliminary injunction this morning, blocking key parts of Arizona’s SB 1070 immigration law, including the provision that requires law enforcement officials to determine the immigration status of a person stopped, detained or arrested if they reasonably suspect the person is in the country illegally. The law was set to go into effect tomorrow, but what’s the legal status now and what will happen tomorrow? Patt talks with legislators and people on the ground—from law enforcement in Phoenix, to a local school superintendent in an area that’s 70% Latino and was missing over 500 students on the first day of school Monday.
