Arizona woman is deported under Trump's new removal rules Guadalupe Garcia de Rayos is locked in a van that is stopped in the street by protesters outside the ICE office in Phoenix on Feburary 8, 2017. Photo by Rob Schumacher/Arizona Republic Garcia's 16-year-old son (C) is among the protestors Protests broke out last night in Phoenix, Arizona, where immigration officials arrested Guadalupe García de Rayos. She had showed up to check in at the immigration office as she's done regularly for eight years — since she was picked up in a work-place raid for using a fake Social Security Card. Until yesterday, it was just a formality; she's been allowed to leave. This time was different, and today, she was deported. Daniel González, who covers immigration, Latino issues and minority communities for the Arizona Republic , has been following the story.

Arizona Governor Blocks Benefits for Illegal Immigrants Illegal immigrants brought to the US as children have been lining up this week. President Obama has ordered that some can apply to defer deportation for two years. They hope to get drivers' licenses and other benefits provided by states. But Arizona Governor Jan Brewer has issued an order of her own, that "no public [state] benefits would be extended to illegal aliens in the state of Arizona." Daniel Gonzalez is immigration reporter for the Arizona Republic .
Which Way, L.A.?
The US Supreme Court: Immigration and Politics The US Supreme Court won't release its ruling on Obamacare until Thursday. Today, the Court gave the Obama Administration a partial victory today by ruling that most of Arizona's tough immigration law violates the Constitution. But the controversial "show your papers" provision was left standing. Does that give police a green light for racial profiling? Decisions also came down on money in politics and life without parole for juveniles.

The US Supreme Court: Immigration and Politics Score one for the Obama Administration today as the US Supreme Court ruled that most of Arizona's tough immigration law violated federal authority. It won't be a crime for undocumented workers to look for jobs or fail to register. Is it illegal to demand that suspects "show their papers?" That's still up in the air. And that means the immigration battle is still under way in Arizona and other states.
