PDFA federal judge has temporarily put the brakes on the Alabama immigration law from going into effect on September 1. Judge Sharon Lovelace Blackburn, Chief Judge of the Northern District of Alabama, enjoined the enforcement of HB56, the most draconian anti-immigration law in the country:
From Constitutional Law Prof Blog:
Act 2011-535 [H.B. 56] is TEMPORARILY ENJOINED, and may not be executed or enforced. In entering this order the court specifically notes that it is in no way addressing the merits of the motions. The court will issue detailed Memorandum Opinions and Orders ruling on the merits of the pending Motions for Preliminary Injunction no later than September 28, 2011. This temporary injunction shall remain in effect until September 29, 2011, or until the court enters its rulings, whichever comes first.
