Judge blocks key parts of Georgia immigration law Atlanta (CNN) -- A federal judge issued a preliminary injunction Monday temporarily blocking key provisions of a new Georgia law that aims to crack down on illegal immigration, while allowing other parts of the law to move forward. Most of the law, known as HB 87, was scheduled to go into effect Friday. U.S. District Judge Thomas Thrash Jr.'s ruling blocks enforcement of two of the most controversial sections of the law. "State and local law enforcement officers and officials have no authorization to arrest, detain or prosecute anyone based upon sections 7 and 8 of HB 87 while this injunction remains in effect," Thrash ruled. *********************************************** 6.

Judge Blocks Parts of Indiana Immigration Law In February, Indiana passed an illegal immigration bill that would allow local police to ask individuals for proof of citizenship after committing a crime. A Senate panel heard more than four hours of testimony on a bill that Sen. Mike Delph, R-Carmel, the bill's author, said would "put teeth into existing law — to say the citizens of Indiana welcome legal immigration but adamantly reject illegal immigration."
It would do so in part by having law enforcement officers ask for proof of citizenship or legal immigration status from anyone they stop for violating any law or ordinance, if those officers have "reasonable suspicion" that the person is not here legally.
"The inability to speak the English language, I believe, will be a key component or a key factor for law enforcement to establish reasonable suspicion," Delph told the committee. Yesterday, thanks to the ACLU, a federal judge blocked important parts of the bill, citing immigration is a federal issue. ********************************************************* 9.

Obama issues Dream Act by executive order…press ignores
June 21, 2011 5:05 pm ET Dave Gibson National Immigration Reform Examiner On Friday, the Obama administration issued a memo announcing that federal immigration officials do not have to deport illegal aliens if they are enrolled in any type of education program, if their family members have volunteered for U.S. military service, or even if they are pregnant or nursing. This new policy of "prosecutorial discretion" was quietly announced on Friday afternoon, and completely ignored by the mainstream press. Author of Arizona's SB1070 and Kansas' secretary of state, Kris Kobach, told the Daily Caller: "They're pushing the [immigration] agents to be even more lax, to go further in not enforcing the law. At a time when millions of Americans are unemployed and looking for work, this is more bad news coming from the Obama administration… [if the administration] really cared about putting Americans back to work, it would be vigorously enforcing the law." Late last year, the so-called DREAM Act which would give legal residency status to millions of illegal aliens who attend college or join the military was defeated in the Senate. Every major poll has shown that the American people are overwhelmingly opposed to the DREAM Act as well as to any other form of amnesty. However, with Obama's poll numbers plummeting, this use of his executive powers is seen as an obvious ploy to solidify the Latino vote in the 2012 presidential election.
