Illegal Immigration Deptt: The National Coalition of Latino Clergy and Christian Leaders, which filed its suit in Phoenix, is seeking an injunction to prevent authorities from enforcing the law. The coalition says the law will lead to civil rights violations. The new law, which is expected to go into effect in July or August, will require police to question people about their immigrant status if they have "reasonable suspicion" they are in Arizona illegally. Arizona s controversial new law to curb illegal immigration faced its first legal challenges on Thursday, as two lawsuits arguing the legislation is unconstitutional were filed in federal courts. The law will also sanction racial profiling because every police officer will work on the assumption that all Hispanics might be undocumented immigrants, the coalition argues. As
