US Judge Hears Arguments on Ga. Immigration Law (HB87)

US Judge Hears Arguments on Ga. Immigration Law (HB87)...A federal judge on Monday heard arguments on a request by civil liberties groups (ACLU) to block Georgia's law cracking down on illegal immigration from taking effect until a legal challenge is resolved, but said he would not make an immediate ruling. The groups have filed a lawsuit asking a judge to find the law unconstitutional and to prevent its enforcement and also filed a request that the judge block the law from taking effect until that lawsuit is resolved. U.S. District Judge Thomas Thrash heard arguments from lawyers for the groups and from a lawyer for the state who said the lawsuit should be dismissed.
