"Over the course of two hours Friday, U.S. District Judge Clark Waddoups asked a variation on the same question several times to Utah Assistant Attorney General Phil Lott about the state’s enforcement-only immigration law. "[You] have the same right to do what you’re already doing, so why do we need this statute?" Waddoups asked. ... Lawyers with the Justice Department and the National Immigration Law Center argued it promotes warrantless arrests, creates confusion among police amid a patchwork of criminal classifications across 50 states and endangers legal residents who may unknowingly violate the law by taking an undocumented immigrant child to school. ...

He gave no time frame for issuing a ruling. In the meantime, the law passed by the Utah Legislature in 2011 and sponsored by former Rep. Stephen Sandstrom, R-Orem, remains under an existing restraining order keeping it from taking effect." - David Montero, Salt Lake Tribune, Feb. 16, 2013.
