Court rejects bid to block Arizona "show your papers" immigration provision Sep 25th 2012, 23:56 PHOENIX | Tue Sep 25, 2012 7:56pm EDT PHOENIX (Reuters) - A U.S. federal appeals court on Tuesday rejected a bid by a coalition of civil and immigrants rights activists to prevent police from enforcing a controversial Arizona immigration provision. The 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in San Francisco denied an emergency motion for an injunction blocking the "show your papers" provision of SB 1070, the state's crackdown on illegal immigrants pending appeal. The provision requires police to verify the citizenship or immigration status of people arrested, stopped or detained if there is a reasonable suspicion that they are in the country unlawfully. It went into effect on September 18 after a U.S. district judge lifted an injunction blocking it.
