SUPREME
COURT
UPHOLDS
“PAPERS
PLEASE”
HUFFINGTON
07.01-08.12
On Monday the Supreme Court struck down key elements of
Arizona’s immigration law SB 1070 but upheld the controversial
“papers please” provision that allows police to demand immigration
papers from anyone stopped, detained or arrested in the state. Rep.
Luis Gutierrez (D-Ill.), a member of the Congressional Hispanic
Caucus, said, “I know they will not be using that kind of tactic on
people with the last name Roberts, Romney, or Brewer, but if your
name is something like Gutierrez or Chung or Obama, watch out.”
