Brewer to Appeal Latest AZ Immigration Law Ruling

Associated Press: Gov. Jan Brewer plans to appeal a ruling that prevents police from enforcing yet another portion of Arizona's 2010 immigration enforcement law.

The governor says in a filing Wednesday that she'll appeal U.S. District Judge Susan Bolton's Feb. 29 ruling that blocked police from enforcing the law's prohibition on blocking traffic when people seek or offer day labor services on streets.

The ban was among a handful of provisions allowed to take effect after a July 2010 decision by Bolton halted enforcement of the law's most controversial elements.

The previously blocked portions include a requirement that police, while enforcing other laws, question people's immigration status if officers suspect they're in the country illegally.

The U.S. Supreme Court will hear arguments April 25 in Brewer's appeal of Bolton's July 2010 ruling.
