Washington – The Supreme Court on Wednesday left a block on a new Florida Immigration Act, which illegally imposes criminal punishment on migrants in the US and enters the state, justice stopped it by Justice to stop the decision of a lower court while proceeding judicial proceedings.
The remedy known as SB4-C was approved by the Legislature led by the GOP of Florida and was signed by the government earlier this year. But a pair of migrants and two non -profit organizations filed a law challenging law, and its enforcement has been blocked from April.
Florida Attorney General James Uthmeyer Demand for Supreme Court intervention Last month and the High Court asked to allow enforcement of law. But denying their bid for emergency relief, the initial prohibition issued by the US District Judge Kathleen Williams will apply, while the legal battle would proceed. There were no disintegration by Justice.
Florida’s immigration law makes it rape for those who are illegally in the country to enter the state. The remedy was passed with federal efforts by President Trump to implement his broad immigration agenda, which has a focal point, which is the President’s promise of large -scale exile.
Williams ruled earlier this year that the law is unconstitutional, and a federal appeal in Atlanta refused to stop the decision.
Separate from the validity of Florida’s immigration law, court fight led to Williams Search uthmeier in civil contempt When he sent letters to law enforcement agencies in the state about his decision.
The first step of the judge was to give a temporary preventive order that prevents the enforcement of the state law. As part of his decision, Williams ordered Uthameyers to inform all law enforcement agencies in the event of prohibition. In April, the Attorney General broadcast a letter to the agencies that officers and agents should follow the instructions of Williams.
But Uthameyer sent a follow -up letter five days later, stating that “there is no judicial order that controls you properly by implementing the law, and that” any valid, valid order currently prevents your agencies from continuing to implement state measures.
In a decision to find all law enforcement officers to find Uthameyer in the civil contempt of their April order to implement the state’s immigration law, Williams said that “when the law was directed to inform that they are prosecuted by implementing an attached law, he could not tell them otherwise.”
“The litigants cannot change the plain meaning of words because it suits them, especially when expressing a clear and unclear order of a court,” he wrote“Ludication of law towards rule can not have any other meaning.”
Williams ordered Uthmeier whether any arrest, detens or other law enforcement action under Florida law should file a biweekly report on it.
