A coalition of civil rights organizations has challenged Alabama's new
immigration law, alleging that the law violates the U.S. Constitution.
The plaintiffs claim that the law, which makes it a crime to be in
Alabama without proper immigration documentation, will result in racial
profiling, illegal searches and seizures and will deter the children of
immigration families from attending public schools.
