Big news today — the Third Circuit Hazleton case (see below) has finally been released, almost two years after it was argued in 2008. And the good guys won. Major props to the folks at the ACLU Immigrants’ Rights Project who argued and briefed the case.
The unanimous decision was decided on federal preemption grounds, which is not as sexy as some of the district court’s holdings (especially the ยง1981 bit), but it’ll do.
At this point, Arizona’s SB 1070 doesn’t stand a chance. Hopefully Jan “beheadings, beheadings, beheadings” Brewer will be kicked out of office in the meantime.
