The LA Times reports that yesterday, a U.S. District Judge in Arizona enjoined
the state from enforcing its identity theft laws that penalize undocumented
immigrants for seeking employment, finding that the laws are preempted
by corresponding federal statutes. Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio
was using these laws to justify worksite raids, more than 80 of which
have taken place since the Arizona Legislature passed the law in 2008.
