PHOENIX -- Day laborers celebrated a federal judge's ruling Wednesday that blocked police in Arizona from enforcing a section of SB 1070. Under Arizona's 2010 immigraiton law, people were prohibited from blocking traffic when looking for or offering day labor on the street. U.S. District Judge Susan Bolton rejected arguments by the state that the ban was needed for traffic safety. The ban was one of the few provisions of the law that went into effect after several key provisions of the law were blocked by Bolton in 2010. In April, the U.S. Supreme Court will hear Gov. Jan Brewer’s appeal of Bolton's decision to block key provisions of the law.
