Federal Court Rejects Rehearing On Alabama’s Immigration Law | The U.S. Court of Appeals for the 11th Circuit denied a request from Alabama officials to reconsider the court’s ruling about HB 56, the state’s immigration law. In August, the court invalidated several portions of the harmful immigration policy. Alabama argued in its rehearing request that some parts of the law did not actually conflict with federal law and that not having them on the books “could interfere with any state attempt to address the costs of undocumented immigrants.” The circuit court did not explain its decision to deny the rehearing.
