September 2012 Group Watch: Governor Seeks Hearing on Immigration Law

Alabama Governor Robert Bentley announced the State has filed petitions asking the full Court of Appeals to reconsider parts of two opinions issued in August regarding the state’s immigration law. The governor contends that the three-judge panel’s decision to strike three of the provisions, including those dealing with harboring, contracts and school data, are contrary to the U.S. Constitution. The governor said in a prepared statement that he was filing this request based upon principle, and as governor he has a duty to uphold and defend Alabama law. He added that the federal court should not restrain state governments in a way contrary to the U.S. Constitution.
