U.S. Supreme Court Hears Oral Argument in Case Challenging Arizona??™s Immigration Law: AFLC Weighs In

On April 25, 2012, the U.S. Supreme Court heard oral argument on the constitutionality of Arizona’s controversial new immigration law.  When it did, the justices had before them a “friend of the court” brief authored by American Freedom Law Center (AFLC) Co-Founders and Senior Counsel David Yerushalmi and Robert Muise.


To address the serious illegal immigration crisis, Arizona enacted the Support Our Law Enforcement and Safe Neighborhoods Act (S.B. 1070) in 2010.  The law was immediately challenged by the Obama administration’s Department of Justice.  A federal judge in Arizona enjoined several provisions of S.B. 1070, and that ruling was upheld by the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit.  The Supreme Court will now decide the case.  Read AFLC's brief here.
