Arizona immigration law: Patty Culhane reports from Washington

  • 12 years ago
The US supreme court has struck down parts of a controversial immigration law brought in by the state of

The judges have ruled that only the federal government can decide who can be deported.

But they said Arizona police can still stop and check the immigration status of anyone they believe is in the country illegally.
