Arizona v United States: How the United States Supreme Court Dealt with Arizona's Regulation of Illegal Aliens
OLLI at U-M (50+)
Speaker: Jason Eyster, J.D., Associate Professor of Law, Thomas M. Cooley Law School
The Arizona Legislature, with substantial input from the for-profit prison industry, enacted a statute that, among other things, penalized immigrants' failure to carry identification papers required by U.S. law, and imposed a duty upon local law authorities to try to identify and to arrest such immigrants. The U.S. Justice Department sued Arizona to prevent its enforcement of the statute. This lecture will discuss arguments advanced in support of the Arizona statute, the arguments advanced by the U.S. Justice Department to justify its opposition to the statute, and the decision of the United States Supreme Court in that case.
