The Supremes Say "Nope!" To Racially Charged Florida Law Sponsored By DeSantis.


The malignant purported Florida law plainly only targets those immigrants in places where more people are. . . brown or Black, than whyte.

Here is the very capable legal developments reporting, of one Amy Howe -- at SCOTUSBlog:

. . .The Supreme Court on Wednesday refused to allow Florida to enforce a state law that makes it a crime for anyone who entered the United States illegally to enter or remain in the state. In a brief unsigned order, the justices left in place an order by a federal district judge in Miami that bars the state from implementing the law. . . .

The Florida law at the center of the case is known as SB 4-C. Enacted by the state’s legislature in February of this year, the law makes it a crime for undocumented immigrants to enter or re-enter Florida. . . .

An immigrants’ rights group, the Florida Immigrant Coalition, and an advocacy group, the Farmworker Association of Florida, went to federal court in Miami to challenge the law, along with two undocumented immigrants who could be arrested and prosecuted under the law. They argued that federal immigration laws superseded the Florida law, and that the Florida law violates the dormant commerce clause -- the theory that the provision of the Constitution giving Congress the power to regulate commerce between states also bars states from discriminating against, or placing a burden on, that commerce. . . .


Now you know -- one more for the good guys -- now at about 142 to about 5 (for Tangerine). Grin. . . .
