Vermont Joining States to Oppose Arizona Immigration Law

Associated Press: The state of Vermont is joining 10 other states that are asking the U.S. Supreme Court to overturn an immigration law implemented by the state of Arizona.

Vermont Attorney General William Sorrell and the other states claim that Arizona's immigration law requires state law enforcement officers to detain and arrest individuals who appear to be illegal immigrants.

Sorrell and the other attorneys general maintain U.S. immigration policies can only be made and enforced by the federal government.

The states, which include New York and California, filed a friend of the court brief that is part of a challenge to the Arizona law that will be heard by the U.S. Supreme Court next month.
