Groups Vow to Scrutinize Enforcement of Arizona Law

USA Today: When Arizona's new immigration law goes into effect next month, every immigration check performed by the state's 16,000 officers will be under a microscope. The law requires an officer to determine a person's immigration status if they are stopped, detained or arrested and there is "reasonable suspicion" they are in the country illegally. Organizations, such as the League of United Latin American Citizens, say they will be ready to sue immediately if they feel citizens were questioned improperly. To head off such issues, a group of a dozen people are poring through court opinions and researching identity documents to establish training for each of the state's police officers. Lyle Mann, director of the Arizona Peace Officer Standards and Training Board, said each department will receive a video, handouts and a brochure that explains the basics of identity documents such as passports and green cards.
