The following organizations have filed a lawsuit, Friendly House v. Whiting, against SB 1070:
American Civil Liberties Union
MALDEF
National Immigration Law Center
Asian Pacific American Legal Center
ACLU of Arizona
National Day Laborer Organizing Network
National Association for the Advancement of Colored People
This case is pending before the district court, but the good news is that the court has not dismissed the case, as the defendant has asked.
A second case, filed by the United States Department of Justice (yup, you read that right, the federal government even believes there is something wrong with SB 1070) also makes some of the same claims as the lawsuit mentioned above.
Because of the second case, there is an injunction that halts major portions of SB 1070. While this is great, there are still portions of the law that are being enforced. Including portions that hurt day laborers and their employers. For more information, check out this article on the ACLU's website:
