arizona against the united states. in april, 2010, arizona enacted legislation titled support our law enforcement and safe neighborhoods act." its provisions are designed to discourage and deterred the unlawful entry and presence of aliens and economic activity by persons unlawfully present in the united states. arizona described its policy as attrition through enforcement. before the law took effect, the u.s. sued arizona, alleging that the federal immigration and nationality act covered the field. the district court finding that the united states would likely defeat on merit, preliminary allowed enforcement of the arizona act. the ninth circuit and the state petition for review urged that arizona law complement's and does not conflict with federal law. one indication of the importance of the case, five states attached similar legislation in bills modeled on the arizona scheme have been introduced in most other states. last, but not least, affordable health care case. no contest since the court allowed the new breeds a

one more, arizona versus the united states. arizona's immigration law. obviously, this is great politics. is this the sort of thing that's going to come back and play into the summer headlines? >> it might. the court was looking at oral argument this they were going to split the baby. a couple liberals seemed like they were willing to swallow some of the -- some of arizona's harsher measures, such as the paper please provision, which required police officers to check the immigration status of anyone they reasonably suspect to be in the country illegally, if they stop that person or detain or arrest that person. the court seemed okay with that so long as the police didn't hold those people too long to violate their fourth amendment rights. it was a kind of legalistic thing they were looking to do i guess, to skirt the politics of the it all. >> like hot potato when you were a kid you except with lots of money and other people's lives. mike sacks, "huffington post" live you can the supreme court man on the scene over at the "huffington post." well done. th

president, arizona is a part of the united states of america. you cannot ignore us because arizona represents probably the most-- the majority of the people of america. we want the rule of law enforced. and it is your job to do it. >> governor, thank you. we will be watching to see what the next stage is. thank you, governor. >> thank you. >> now to the electrifying response to the immigration ruling from both sides. today, protesters making their voices heard outside the supreme court. griff jenkins was right there. >> reporter: greta, we didn't get the health care ruling. but when arizona's split decision came down, we were on the ground with our cameras. >> i'm out here to say thank you governor brewer for having the guts and russell pierce for having the guts to tack thel problem. >> it's a split decision, one of the most oener -- oneerous part resmains, what people look like, i think that will be bothersome, to say the least, politically. >> the ability to make determinations like those made under the arizona immigration law are themselves a

arizona v. the united states. mr. clement. >> mr. ice, and may it please the court: the state of arizona bears a disproportionate share of the costs of illegal immigration. in addressing those costs, arizona borrowed the federal standards as its own, and attempted to enlist state resources in the enforcement of the uniform federal immigration laws. notwithstanding that, the united states took the extraordinary step of seeking a preliminary injunction to enjoin the statute as impliedly preempted on its face before it took effect. the ninth circuit agreed with respect to four provisions, but only by inverting fundamental principles of federalism. the ninth circuit essentially demanded that arizona point to specific authorization in federal statute for its approach. but that gets mattersbackwards. -- but that it matters backwards. a state does not need to point to federal authorization for its enforcement efforts. rather, the burden is on the parties seeking to preempt a duly enacted state law to point to some provision in statutory law

to woo hispanic voters, this decision could also have some serious implications across the united states. arizonaates that have immigration enforcement laws. eight states have taken steps toward passing similar legislation. arizona's maricopa county sheriff joe arpaio is in phoenix, arizona, this morning. thank you for talking with us. we appreciate it. if in fact the supreme court does rule against the arizona law, how would that change how you police in that state? >> not going to change anything. we've been enforcing the two state laws irregardless of 1070. so i don't see any change, no matter which way that supreme court decision comes out. >> you were talking to -- >> that's as far as i'm concerned. that's as far as i'm concerned how we've been operating. >> so you were talking to a local station in phoenix, which is knxv on june 15, and here's what you told them. you say, i think people from mexico are now going to feel, hey, come on in, we'll get by with it. but that won't happen in this county. they will be arrested. you're talking there about the presidential order focusing on young undo

in fact, i would agree it was a victory today for arizona and citizens of the united states. we are now in a situation where arizona and the citizens can do 287g statewide. there were only seven counties in arizona beforehand that had this program and by the way, the administration canceled the 287g today with arizona. i don't know what that was all about, but clearly this is good for other states. the 287g program is combined with secure communities which allow everyone to be screened in jail. so you have outside and inside screening. it's clearly going to continue -- >> but you're not concerned about again the rest of the law was turned aside? >> to carry your id is a throw- away. to apply for a job, e-verify is legal across the state of arizona. so, in fact, and with e-verify growing across the country and that's a screening system to keep illegals on the of our work system, i think this is a great victory. >> donald, you're looking mystified over here. >> i think this is great. i think this helped save maryland, helped destroy maryland, whatever the organization; this is f

police are enforcing other laws if reasonable suspicion exists that the person is in the united states illegally. arizonaome other states say they need to crack down on the illegal immigration because of a lack of federal action. >> arizona did not ask for this fight or secret task of having to confront illegal immigration. we cannot forget that we are here today because the federal government has appealed to the american people regarding immigration policy. it has failed to protect its citizens and failed to preserve rule of law. they have failed to secure our borders. the value to secure the border has created the issues we now face regarding illegal immigrants. arizona, without question bears the brunt of the phillies. >> the president is now calling on congress to develop and immigration reform plant if the president says he's pleased by today's ruling and says he will work with any member of congress on an immigration policy that addresses the country's economic and security needs. the president said the reforms to of all the country's tradition as a nation of immigrants. >> one of man's coffin >> j

learned a great deal about what went wrong in the phoenix field division at the atf and the arizona united states attorney's office. we heard directly from atf agents who witnessed the misguided tactics of gun walking occur which started in prior administrations, and they asked for our help in implementing reforms and coming forward with solutions to the problems that they were seeing every day along the southwest border. the problem they were worried about was not paperwork and subpoenas and contempt charges. they were worried about guns. so where are the reforms and the actions that we could take in response to the problems that they put before us? throughout this investigation, atf witnesses consistently told this committee that they need reinforcements to the weak federal laws that prohibit gun trafficking. peter forcelli, an atf special agent in phoenix, called existing gun laws toothless. so mr. chairman, when do we put forward some teeth in the law? to help our enforcement officers combat crime? efforts to simply discuss reforms have not been welcomed by this committee. when i attempted to

a controversial law as spawning debate across the nation, the united states supreme court told arizona went too far trying to stem illegal immigration. they say its constitution belongs to the federal government. >> from the arizona border to the u.s. supreme court, the justices offered a split decision on arizonas controversial immigration law. the justice said arizona may have understandable frustration with the problems caused by illegal immigration but this state may not pursue policies that undermine federal law. the high court struck down free of the four key provisions in the loft however unanimously opposing the most controversial piece. >> today the state of arizona has been vindicated and the heart of the bill was of health. >> the court made clear the show me your paper section could maze additional battles. most of the provisions were talked out. 1 allow people to arrest immigrants without a warrant if they have probable cause. also, there is a provision making it a crime for illegal immigrants to fail to carry emigration papers and, a ban on illegal immigrants from applyin

brewer, who was in charge of the criminal division, sent a prosecutor from the united states attorney's office to arizona to prosecute atf cases. the first case that lanny brewer chose was the prosecution of operation wide receiver, the previous case that had been initiated under the bush administration. but the u.s. attorney's office in arizona objecting to the tactics used in wide receiver had previously refused to prosecute the case. so what we have is a denial, but now if we have all the facts, we understand why that individual was being sent by this administration to reopen a case that had already been downtu downturned, and that very person was reporting to james trustee who was the criminal division's gang unit head and this is her language. we only have partial access to a few e-mails, which is why we need the record. but in the record that we have been able to get, the assistant attorney general, who was sent or assistant attorney sent from washington to arizona, she says, the case involves 300 to 500 guns. this is the e-mail. it's my understanding that a lot of these guns walked. whether some o

. >> the united states supreme court rejecting parts of arizona's immigration law, taking the teeth out of its most controversial parts. >> the supreme court struck down parts of an arizona law designed to crack down on illegal immigration. for now the justices are letting a provision go forward that requires police to check the immigration status of anyone they arrest or apprehend. in their 5-3 rules the justices said police cannot arrest people on minor immigration charges as the arizona law laid out. arizona officials say they passed a law 2 years ago because the federal government was not doing enough to stop illegal immigration. the law sparked protests across the country and calls to boycott arizona. critics said it would lead to racial profiling and the obama administration filed suit on the basis it interfered with federal immigration laws. >> today the supreme court ruled that federal law trumped many provisions in arizona's law and that's why they stuck it down. the justices left the door open to other legal challenges. >> till arizona's republican governor jan brewer called t

. >>> today, the crazy anti-constitutional thinking of arizona governor jan brewer got smacked down by the united states supreme court. two republican-appointed justices, including the chief justice, joined clinton and obama appointees on the supreme court to throw out three out of four provisions of an arizona law, and left the fourth provision hanging by a legal thread that they will surely cut as soon as a case on the enforcement of that provision makes its way back up to the supreme court. much of what you're about to hear may be in contradiction with much of what you may have heard about this case today. there have been many headlines and comments today saying that the supre court upheld the most controversial element of the law. it did not. there have been many headlines and comments indicating that this supreme court upheld the papers, please provision of the law. it did not. the court struck down that provision. there have been many headlines and comments today that agree with this false statement by the arizona governor. >> the heart of the bill was upheld. >> fox news legal authorities don't t

enforcement to assist federal law enforcement in cracking down on those who are in the united states and more specifically in arizona illegally so if police suspect that someone was undocumented they were to arrest them it required police to check the immigration status of anyone they have already detained or arrested if they have reasonable suspicion that the person is in the country illegally and made it a crime also for undocumented immigrants to do a couple of things apply for a job or be in the state without proper documents so three out of four of those provisions were struck down the immigration status check once a person is arrested being the only part upheld well as you can imagine this ruling was spun every which way depending on the media outlet. breaking news from the u.s. supreme court which is just struck down three out of four provisions in the arizona immigration law stand there has been a decision five three in favor of the u.s. government decision to him down by the supreme is about twenty minutes ago upholds the quote show me your papers provision for the moment what the supreme court said is that

certainly, your point about how this affects the undocumented population of the united states and specifically in arizona is not to be lost. do you think this increases enthusiasm across the country among hispanic community, understanding of course that hispanics are not a monolithic voting bloc? >> yeah. that's a tough question to answer. all the questions you ask are always so pinpoint accurate on what you want to know. i'll tell you, first and foremost, we have to think about i think how it affects the state of arizona, and how it affects both those who support this law and those who are opposed to it, because you know, there's a whole issue of people that may look brown and can be asked about their papers and if they're citizens but don't have some passport, because what do we as american citizens carry with us on a daily basis to prove we were born in the united states of america? what document? there is no national i.d. so the question is how do we prove to a police officer that we are indeed legal if we're stopped in arizona and your name is jose diaz-balart or, you know, not john smith. how do yo
