Eleventh Circuit Blocks Two More Provisions of Alabama Immigration Law From Going Into Effect

News from Alabama! The U.S.Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit, which heard oral arguments last week in the cases challenging the constitutionality of the Alabama and Georgia immigration enforcement laws, issued an order yesterday blocking two more sections of Alabama’s immigration law pending the court’s final ruling. The court blocked provisions that bar residents from knowingly entering into contracts with undocumented immigrants and ban undocumented immigrants from entering business transactions with state and local governments.
