Associate Professor Andy Hessick was quoted in an article, “Federal judge blocks key parts of Arizona immigration law,” published on July 28 in the Los Angeles Times and in the Chicago Tribune.

The article, by Tribune reporters Nicholas Riccardi and Anna Gorman, discussed a temporary injunction issued by U.S. District Court Judge Susan Bolton against parts of SB 1070. The Obama administration and other entities have sued Arizona over the law, which became effective at 12:01 a.m. on July 29.

Bolton found the federal government was likely to prevail in trial in its arguments against other provisions that she blocked, making it likely that her temporary order will eventually become permanent, Hessick said.

“It would be very surprising if the permanent injunction were to differ after trial,” he said.
