Florida asks Scotus to authorize the application of controversial immigration law

The Florida Attorney General asked the Supreme Court On Monday, to enable him to enforce a controversial immigration law which seeks to criminalize the arrival or the return of illegal migrants to the State – competing in another judicial confrontation focused on immigration between the Trump administration and the defenders of immigration.

The Florida Attorney General, James Uthmeier, asked the judges of the High Court to intervene immediately and to allow the State to implement the Senate bill 4C, or the law of Florida which seeks to criminalize the arrival of undocumented immigrants

This law was blocked earlier this year by a federal judge in Miami. The 11th Circuit Court of Appeals American also refused to lift the injunction, opening the way to uthmal to request an emergency reparation from the Supreme Court.

Uthmeier urged judges on Monday to overthrow the injunction of the Federal Court, which he described as detrimental to state and national interests.

“Illegal immigration continues to wreak havoc in the state while (the) law cannot be applied,” said the Uthmier office in the file on Monday.

In the absence of intervention by the Supreme Court, Uthmeier argued that Florida and its citizens “will remain disabled to fight against the seriously prejudices of illegal immigration for years while this dispute goes through the lower courts”.

The request comes after the American district judge Kathleen Williams published an injunction earlier this year by preventing Florida from enforcing the law, which she described as probably unconstitutional and conflictual with existing federal laws.

This was opposed by the prosecutor general of Florida, who argued on Monday that “nothing in (SBC) poses a conflict with the federal law”.

However, it failed to convince Judge Williams.

Williams, one appointed by Obama, took the extraordinary measure of the organization of an Uthmeier Outline Procedure earlier this month to have allegedly violated his injunction and allowed the police to make arrests under the law.

Uthmeier, on the other hand, argued on Monday that the Supreme Court should take place and cancel the decisions of the lower courts, that it described in its appeal as a measure “designed to protect future victims of violence, drugs and trafficking fueled by the entry and the return to Florida of unauthorized foreigners”.

“Without the intervention of this court, Florida and its citizens will remain disabled in the fight against the seriously prejudices of illegal immigration for years while this dispute goes through the lower courts,” he said.

It is not clear if the Supreme Court will resume the case.
