The United States of America, Plaintiff vs. Arizona and Gov. Brewer, Defendants

Did you hear? On July 6, the Department of Justice filed a complaint in federal district court in Arizona against the state of Arizona AND the governor:
In this action, the United States seeks to declare invalid and preliminarily and permanently enjoin the enforcement of S.B. 1070, as amended and enacted by the State of Arizona, because S.B. 1070 is preempted by federal law and therefore violates the Supremacy Clause of the United States Constitution. [ http://ht.ly/27NYC ]
The DOJ also filed a temporary injunction to delay SB1070 from going into effect on July 29. The Arizona court will hear the case on July 22.

Go here to send a "No Anti-Immigration Law in My State" to your governor. Standing on the Side of Love has made it very easy to do this:  http://salsa.democracyinaction.org/o/1272/p/dia/action/public/?action_KEY=3690
