Immigration Crackdown - Alabama: Groups seek to block tough Alabama immigration law

Groups seek to block tough Alabama immigration law | Reuters: "Civil rights groups filed a motion in Alabama on Thursday asking a federal judge to stop what has been called the nation's toughest new immigration law from taking effect.

The motion for a preliminary injunction follows its class action lawsuit filed earlier this month. Judges have already blocked key parts of other immigration laws passed in Georgia, Arizona, Utah and Indiana.

Critics say the Alabama law, due to take effect on September 1, is unconstitutional on multiple grounds."
