PHOENIX (UPDATED) - A federal judge in Phoenix didn't rule on whether to block Arizona's new immgiration law Thursday after two hours of testimony in the first major hearing in one of seven challenges to the strict crackdown.
The Phoenix police officer who filed the lawsuit could be fired if he doesn't enforce the law he has sued to block, an attorney told U.S. District Judge Susan Bolton, who didn't say when she'd decide whether to halt the law before it takes effect July 29.
Attorneys for Gov. Jan Brewer told U.S. District Judge Susan Bolton that the lawsuit - filed by Officer David Salgado and the statewide nonprofit group Chicanos Por La Causa - should be dismissed because Salgado and the group lack legal standing to sue and that there's no valid claim of immediate harm.
But Salgado's attorney disagreed.
"He does have a real threat," attorney Stephen Montoya said. "They can fire him. That's enough."
Bolton is considering whether to block the law and whether to dismiss the lawsuit. She may not rule before the law is set to take effect July 29.
Hearings on the six other lawsuits, including one filed by the federal government, are set for next week.
