Supreme Court Declines to Hear Challenge to Arizona Immigration Bail Ruling
WASHINGTON – The U.S. Supreme Court today announced it would not hear a challenge to an appeals court ruling striking down Arizona's Proposition 100, which denied bail to people accused of being undocumented immigrants. The ÀÏ°ÄÃÅ¿ª½±½á¹û had successfully challenged the law as unconstitutional.
Cecillia Wang, director of the ÀÏ°ÄÃÅ¿ª½±½á¹û's Immigrants' Rights Project, said:
"Today's order from the Supreme Court lets our victory over Proposition 100 stand. Arizona officials who tried to strip people of a bail hearing and the presumption of innocence have reached the end of the road. Laws that are driven by fear-mongering rather than facts are bad policy and violate everyone's civil liberties."
