Summary
WASHINGTON, July 7 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- The Hispanic National Bar Association (HNBA) commends the U.S. Department of Justice for taking legal action against Arizona's SB 1070. "We are pleased to see our federal government taking a position on this issue, and to make it clear to all states, municipalities, counties, and parishes, etc., that immigration is strictly a federal issue," said HNBA National President Roman D. Hernandez.
The HNBA has taken very public positions against SB 1070 since the legislation first started to surface. First, it spoke out publicly against SB 1070 and highlighted the grave constitutional concerns present in the legislation before it was signed into law. Next, it joined other national organizations and their efforts for a boycott of Arizona until SB 1070 was repealed. Most recently, the HNBA joined the National Council of La Raza, the U.S. Hispanic Chamber of Commerce, and Los Abogados Bar Association of Arizona as amici curiae, and filed a brief in support of a preliminary injunction of SB 1070. "We remain optimistic that SB 1070 will be successfully challenged in federal court," stated Mr. Hernandez.See the full content of this document
