Feds meet with Utah officials over immigration law

Top Utah lawmakers said they’re optimistic about the federal government staying out of a lawsuit against the state’s enforcement-only immigration law after having a “productive” closed-door meeting with key U.S. Department of Justice lawyers Tuesday.

Attorney General Mark Shurtleff, who called the meeting at the Capitol, said he was able to go over “line by line” provisions in HB497 and believes the attorneys “see Utah is doing something different.”
