Holder: U.S. May File Another Suit Against Arizona Over Anti-Immigrant Law
--------------------------------------------------------------------------



Attorney General Eric Holder said Sunday the Justice Department may file
another lawsuit against the state of Arizona if the state’s new
immigration law leads to racial profiling. The new law requires police
officers to stop and interrogate anyone they suspect is an undocumented
immigrant Eric Holder made the comment during an interview on CBS’ "Face
the Nation."

Eric Holder: "It doesn’t mean that if the law for whatever reason
happened to go into effect, that six months from now, a year from now,
we might not look at the impact the law has had ... and see whether or
not there has been that racial profiling impact. If that was the case,
we would have the tools and we would bring suit on that basis."

In related news, hundreds of immigrant rights activists gathered in
Boston Saturday to protest Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer. She was in Boston at
the annual National Governors Association meeting.
