The 11th Circuit Court of Appeals is denying a request by the State of Alabama for a new hearing and oral arguments relating to its controversial immigration law, also referred to as HB56. When reached for reaction, Alabama Governor Robert Bentley's office said it had no comment. The State requested a rehearing of the Court on two rulings it issued in August in which three provisions of the law were struck down or put on hold. In August, the Court threw out Section 28 of the law, which is the provision that required schools to collect data on the immigration status of students who enroll in school.
The Court also temporarily blocked two sections of the law, Section 10 and Section 27. Section 10 is also known as the "papers please" section. It created a state crime if an immigrant was not carrying an alien registration document. Section 27 forbid citizens from entering into contracts with illegal immigrants. The Court upheld Sections 12(a), 18, 30 of the law. Section 12(a) allows police to detain suspected illegal aliens. Section 18 required authorities to make a reasonable effort to determine the immigration status of a driver found not to be carrying a driver's license. Section 30 forbid any illegal immigrant from entering into a business transaction with the state or any political subdivision thereof. The State of Alabama has the option of appealing to the United States Supreme Court.
