Alabama Immigration Law: Additional Provisions Stayed by the Eleventh Circuit

Ruthann Robson on Constitutional Law Prof Blog summarizes how a panel for the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit enjoined pending an appeal the implementation of two sections (one making it a crime for an immigrant not to carry a immigration registration document and one requiring public schools to check the immigration status of enrolling students, which may chill the exercise of a right to education for undocumented students guaranteed by Plyer v. Doe (1982) of Alabama’s  immigration law pending an appeal of the district court decision upholding most of the law.
