Read News Coverage of ACLJ's Reaction to Supreme Court Upholding AZ Immigration Law
The American Center for Law and Justice (ACLJ), which filed an amicus brief supporting Arizona's position in the case, said today a decision by the U.S. Supreme Court upholding the constitutionality of the Arizona Workers Act represents an important victory for Arizona and other states that desire to protect their borders and citizens.

Whiting, the high court concluded that an Arizona employer-sanctions law that penalizes businesses that knowingly hire illegal immigrants is constitutional.
