Federal judge set to hear arguments in lawsuit challenging Indiana's new immigration law (SB590)

Federal judge set to hear arguments in lawsuit challenging Indiana's new immigration law (SB590)...Civil rights groups claim a new Indiana law set to take effect July 1 gives police sweeping arrest powers against illegal aliens who haven't committed any crime. The state attorney general's office argues such fears are exaggerated and based on misunderstanding of the law. U.S. District Judge Jane Magnus-Stinson is set to hear arguments from both sides Monday as she considers a lawsuit filed by the ACLU of Indiana and the National Immigration Law Center, which are seeking a preliminary injunction to stop the law from taking effect next month.
