The U.S. Supreme Court on Monday denied review of a provision of the controversial Arizona immigration law known as Senate Bill 1070 that was blocked by a federal judge in Phoenix and the 9th U.S. Court of Appeals.
Without comment, the high court allowed an injunction to remain in place against a statute that would have made it illegal to transport or harbor illegal immigrants.
A coalition of advocacy groups, including the American Civil Liberties Union, the National Immigration Law Center and the Mexican American Legal Defense and Educational Fund, successfully filed suit against the harboring statute.
