Maybe you can explain what the judge's intention were when she placed an injunction on this portion of the Arizona law.
Mellie was completely wrong in her post. If a person is legally arrested there is nothing that prevents law enforcement from making efforts to determine a person's immigration status. In Calfornia, it is even REQUIRED and at least in LA County, ICE is very active in LACounty jails.
So her statement was completely inaccurate.
As far as the judge's intention. I'm not sure the judge had any "intention". The injunction is simply th mechanism whereby the judge makes an initial determination that those aspects of the law are "likely" to be found unconstitutional. THAT isn't surprising. Even a number of conservative legal scholars indicated that the law might have problems withstanding Constitutional challenges.
