Ruling casts doubt on Arizona anti-solicitation laws
Some excerpts :
Dan Pachoda, an attorney for the American Civil Liberties Union, said Monday his organization will again ask U.S. District Court Judge Susan Bolton to bar Arizona from enforcing a provision of last year's SB 1070 aimed at day laborers.
Bolton, in a lawsuit brought by the U.S. Department of Justice, last year enjoined the state from implementing several key sections of that law. Most deal with giving police the power to detain and arrest suspected illegal immigrants, with other sections seeking to make it a crime for someone not in this country legally to seek work in Arizona.
But in a separate claim brought by ACLU and others, Bolton refused to stay enforcement of sections making it illegal for day laborers to get into vehicles stopped in traffic to go to work elsewhere. She said at the time that was because a three-judge panel the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals had upheld the Redondo Beach ordinance making it a crime to solicit employment, business or contributions from occupants of passing motor vehicles.
On Friday, though, the full 9th Circuit overturned that year-old decision, as well as a 1986 decision which upheld the legality of the 1984 Phoenix ordinance.
Bolton herself conceded Monday the legal landscape may have changed, telling attorneys for challengers to "feel free'' to again seek an injunction.
