U.S Supreme Court Immigration Law: LGBT Orgs. React

BOSTON, Mass. —The United States Supreme Court today just released its decision about SB1070, the 2010 Arizona Immigration Law. In such a decision, according to MassEquality, the Court “struck down three key provisions” of the immigration law but upheld the key provision that allows “police to arrest immigrants without a warrant if there was a belief that they had committed an offense that warranted deportation; making it illegal for immigrants to be caught without registration papers; and preventing immigrants who are not authorized to work legally in the United States from seeking employment.”

Reactions over the Internet are strong to the High Court decision. Metroweekly reports that more than “30 LGBT, HIV/AIDS organizations” are calling for National Immigration Reform in the wake of the ruling. (More)
