ACLU files to block Indiana immigration law, says it violates constitutional arrest limits

ACLU files to block Indiana immigration law, says it violates constitutional arrest limits...ACLU filed Wednesday in in U.S. District Court in Indianapolis seeking to block the state's new E-Verify law. It would expand the reasons police can arrest illegal aliens and make the use of identification cards issued by foreign consulates illegal.The law also mandates employers check their workers' citizenship. ACLU says the arrest provisions violate constitutional protections against arrest without probable cause. It also says that Indiana is overextending its constitutional bounds by regulating international affairs with the ID measure. Gov. Mitch Daniels signed the measure into law May 10.
