In response to "that would be like a state court allowing me to sue you there for copyright infringement under federal law" by chuckles

But the 'action' in this situation would still federal... AZ would just be reporting or handing over these people to the feds, right?

This law isn't giving AZ the power to just start deporting people on its own, is it?

Responses:

without knowing exactly what the federal immigration statute is, that still sounds like enforcement of a federal law by state actors to me -- nm - chuckles Jul 23, 14:23 3
- That's ridiculous, they're not enforcing the law, they're identifying them and then handing them over to the Feds for enforcent. -- nm - Stephen (Status Seeker) Jul 23, 14:32 1
  - if the purpose of the federal law is to both identify and then adjudicate violators, even the identification could amount to "enforcement" - chuckles Jul 23, 14:35
- Fair enough. - Dr.Vermin Jul 23, 14:25
