A U.S. District Court Judge in Arizona has temporarily blocked key parts of Arizona's controversial anti-immigrant law SB1070 from taking effect tomorrow.

This means that while the law will still take effect tomorrow, police will not be able to use racial profiling to inquire into a person's immigration status. The decision was made based on the grounds that the U.S. Constitution requires our nation to have a unified immigration policy regulated by the federal government--not a 50 state patchwork of conflicting, state laws.

This is a HUGE victory for our members in Arizona and a victory for our efforts to re-focus on Washington's responsibility to fix our broken immigration system.

SEIU Executive Vice President Eliseo Medina issued a statement after today's ruling, saying:

"Today, the Court sent out a sharp message to Congress: get to work and fix our broken immigration system where it must be fixed--in the federal government.

"The Court's decision reminds us, once again, that America is a nation of laws; that the politics of the moment will not overpower the sensible laws written by our forefathers; and that in America, opportunistic state politicians do not have free rein to violate our most basic Constitutional rights."
