Groups File Suit over Utah Immigration Law

HeadlineMay 04, 2011

Utah is facing a class action lawsuit over a recently approved law similar to last year’s anti-immigrant crackdown in Arizona. On Tuesday, the American Civil Liberties Union and the National Immigration Law Center filed a suit seeking to block the law before it takes effect next week. Under the measure, Utah law enforcement officers would be forced to check the citizenship or legal immigration status of people stopped for violations.
