The Justice Department is considering filing a lawsuit to thwart a new law in Arizona that forces police officers to determine the immigration status of someone they suspect of being an undocumented immigrant. Opponents call it the harshest anti-immigrant measure in the country and a license for racial profiling. The Washington Post reports government officials are considering making the case that the law intrudes on federal enforcement of immigration laws.
