U.S. District Judge Susan Bolton has received thousands of phone calls and e-mails after her preliminary injunction Wednesday placing key provisions of the state’s immigration law on hold.
Many applauded Judge Bolton’s decision to block the controversial sections of the law which would have allowed police to request proof of citizenship of anyone they suspected of being an illegal alien. Her ruling was indicated there is a good chance the federal government will prevail in its lawsuit against the state of Arizona and the enforcement of this element of the law should be put on hold until it is resolved in the courts.
The case is expected to weave its way up to the Supreme Court of the United States.
