A panel of the Eleventh Circuit Court of Appeals has blocked two
portions of the controversial Alabama immigration law from going into
effect, but has allowed the state to begin enforcing other parts of the
law. The panel found that the United States had met its burden for an
injunction pending appeal in regards to the sections of the law that
create a misdemeanor offense for failing to carry an alien registration
document and require school officials to determine whether incoming
children are immigrants of the children of immigrants and evaluate
whether they qualify for English as a second language or other remedial
language classes.
