United States Ninth Circuit


US v. State of California, 18-16496

Addressed the constitutionality of three laws California enacted expressly to protect its residents from federal immigration enforcement. The United States brought this action to challenge these enactments under the Supremacy Clause. The Ninth Circuit rejected most of the federal government's arguments for a preliminary injunction but agreed that one of the laws contains an unlawful subsection, and remanded for further proceedings.
