STUCK DOWN: -- A requirement that all immigrants obtain or carry immigration registration papers. -- A provision making it a state criminal offense for an illegal immigrant to seek work or hold a job. -- A provision that would allow police to arrest suspected illegal immigrants without warrants. -------------------------------- An Arizona immigrant rights group says it is not surprised by the U.S. Supreme Court's ruling on the state's immigration law. Puente Arizona director Carlos Garcia says the organization expected the high court to uphold part of the law that requires police to check the status of someone suspected to be in the U.S. illegally. He says Puente will begin reaching out to law enforcement about how they will enforce the law The court did strike down several key provisions of the law. Garcia says President Barack Obama can put an end to this by having Immigration and Customs Enforcement cease working with Arizona law enforcement.
