The U.S. Supreme Court agreed to hear Arizona's immigration law on the 12th, and the hearing is expected to be held next summer. Under SB1040, the immigration law, the suspect's immigration status should be checked during ordinary traffic violations, arrests, and other investigations if a suspect is suspected of being an illegal immigrant. The law also requires registered legal immigrants to carry identification documents at all times or face 30 days of detention. However, after President Obama's administration filed a lawsuit, some provisions of the law have been suspended. The federal government believes that Arizona's immigration law infringes on the federal authority to regulate immigration issues and that other laws in the state also violate the same infringement. Supporters of the bill say that before the 2010 law took effect, Arizona was struggling to deal with thousands of illegal immigrants every day. Arizona also complains that the federal government is not doing enough to protect the U.S. border with Mexico. Governor Brewer expressed relief at the Supreme Court's decision. "I am confident that the high court will uphold Arizona's constitutional rights and duties to protect the safety and welfare of its citizens," she said.
