Supreme Court: Immigration Status

supreme court: John Kavanagh said Friday that policy changes the department adopted in July illegally restrict when officers can inquire about a person's immigration status, according to Metro News. In addition, a new procedure requiring a specialized supervisor to vet the request puts roadblocks in the process to check with federal immigration officials. Republican Sen. The U.S. Supreme Court has ruled that police can't hold someone longer than normally needed just to check their immigration status. They shouldn't have implemented a patently illegal police operations order. These are pretty glaring violations of SB 1070, Kavanagh said. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
