On Monday the Supreme Court struck down three of the four provisions of Arizona’s SB 1070 immigration law. The one provision which was left untouched is the “show me your papers,” which allows law enforcement to check immigration status on individuals stopped.
Immediately after the ruling social media was swamped, not only with the announcement made by the Supreme Court, but also questioning the decision of maintaining this last provision which could cause racial profiling.
