On Tuesday, the Department of Justice (DOJ) took further steps to impede immigration enforcement by sending a letter to the superintendants of school districts in Alabama, demanding data about student absenteeism since the beginning of the 2011-2012 school year. The DOJ letter is in direct response to Alabama's new immigration enforcement law (H.B.56), hailed as one of the toughest state laws in the country. Section 28 of H.B. 56 requires public schools to gather immigration status information from students upon enrollment, based on birth certificates, and compile and submit non-identifiable data related thereto to the state.
President Obama's Justice Department (DOJ) filed suit against the State of South Carolina Monday, alleging federal law preempts the State's recently passed immigration enforcement legislation. South Carolina's law, Act No. 69, is broad in scope, containing several provisions similar to Arizona's SB 1070 and Alabama's HB 56. These provisions include making E-Verify mandatory for all employers, banning sanctuary city policies, and criminalizing the failure to comply with federal alien registration laws. As in its lawsuits against Arizona and Alabama, DOJ is seeking to enjoin the enforcement of the core provisions of the bill
Members of the House Immigration Policy and Enforcement Subcommittee voted Wednesday to authorize House Judiciary Committee Chairman, Rep. Lamar Smith (R-TX), to issue a subpoena to the Department of Homeland Security (DHS). By subpoenaing DHS, Chairman Smith seeks to obtain a list of illegal and criminal aliens the agency has identified under the Secure Communities program, but subsequently declined to detain or place in removal proceedings.
