High Court Splits on Arizona Law
Wall Street Journal (06/25/12) Jess Bravin; Tamara Audi
In its ruling on Arizona’s immigration law, the U.S. Supreme Court struck down provisions that make it a state crime for immigrants not to carry federal registration papers, allow jail time for illegal immigrants looking for employment in the state, and broaden the power of state and local police to arrest immigrants for suspected offenses. The court let stand a requirement that police check the immigration status of people they stop for traffic or other violations, but the provision could face legal challenges down the road if immigrants are held in detention for prolonged periods while their status is determined. It remains unclear how federal courts will apply the ruling to the immigration laws passed in Georgia, Alabama, and South Carolina.

California state Sen. Mimi Walters is facing back pay complaints from several subcontractors hired by staffing companies in which she and her husband have a minority ownership stake. The subcontractors allege that they are owed back pay topping $120,000. Walters’ attorney says that as minority owners of Monarch Staffing Inc., the parent company of Drug Consultants Inc. and American Healthcare Recruiting, she and her husband have no knowledge about their pay and do not handle the firms’ day-to-day operations.
