Officials fear being sued under status law | The Clarion-Ledger: "City and county officials are concerned the Arizona-style illegal immigration legislation passed by the Mississippi Senate could open up local leaders to costly lawsuits if a citizen doesn't feel they are doing enough to enforce its provisions.
The Senate bill, which is awaiting House action, says a legal resident of the state may bring an action in Circuit Court to "challenge any official or agency ... that adopts or implements a policy that limits or restricts" enforcement of federal immigration laws. Monticello Mayor David Nichols called that provision "pretty extreme.""
