| Description | PHOENIX (AP) — Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer and Attorney General Tom Horne plan to make an announcement Thursday about the state's efforts to defend its controversial immigration enforcement law.
The offices of Brewer and Horne declined to provide any other details.
Brewer signed into law Monday a bill that would let legislative leaders participate in efforts to defend the enforcement law against court challenges.
Brewer and Horne are participating in defending the law.
The enforcement law's chief sponsor, Senate President Russell Pearce, had requested to be a party in the state's appeal of a ruling that put parts of the law on hold, arguing he has a unique interest in making sure the law's objectives are defended and is concerned the state doesn't adequately represent his interests.
But the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in San Francisco ruled Pearce's request should be treated as a friend-of-the-court brief. |
