AZ immigration law ‘reasonable suspicion”?
I heard there was a new bill (or amendment) relating to sb1070 which clarifies what constitutes ‘reasonable suspicion.’ Does anyone know where to find this or what it is?
Just google it…
The Arizona House of Representatives has proposed amendments to the controversial Arizona Immigration Law SB 1070 signed just last week.
Arizona HB 2162 (NOW: immigration; border security) would amend SB 1070 as follows:
Changes “lawful contact” to “lawful stop, detention or arrest.”
Stipulates that a lawful stop, detention or arrest must be in the enforcement of any other law or ordinance of a county, city or town or this state.
Stipulates that a reasonable attempt must be made, when practicable, to determine the immigration status of a person, except if the determination may hinder or obstruct an investigation when reasonable suspicion exists that the person is an alien and is unlawfully present in the U.S.
Removes “solely” from the provision relating the prohibition on discriminatory enforcement.
Stipulates that for the Enforcement of Immigration Law, Unlawfully Picking up Passengers for Work and Unlawfully Transporting or Harboring Unlawful Aliens the immigration status may be determined by:
A law enforcement officer who is authorized by the federal government to verify or ascertain an alien’s immigration status.
ICE or CBP pursuant to 8 U.S.C. § 1373(c).
Specifies that 8 U.S.C § 1373 and 8 U.S.C § 1644 are included in the federal immigration laws relating to challenges regarding policies adopted or implemented by an entity.
Stipulates that for the enforcement of Willful Failure to Complete or Carry an Alien Registration Document, Unlawfully Picking up Passengers for Work and Unlawfully Transporting or Harboring Unlawful Aliens a law enforcement official or agency cannot consider race, color or national origin when implementing these provisions, except as permitted by the U.S. or Arizona Constitution.
