ACLU, others sue to block Utah immigration law

Several local and national civil rights groups filed a lawsuit against Utah’s enforcement-only immigration law Tuesday — just days before it is scheduled to go into effect — calling it “unconstitutional” and an open pathway to racial profiling.
The American Civil Liberties Union and the National Immigration Law Center were joined by Archie Archuletta, a member of the Utah Coalition of La Raza, in filing the suit in federal district court against Gov. Gary Herbert and Attorney General Mark Shurtleff.
