I heard Brit Hume on this on FOX. The law only allows the Cops to check citizenship in the event the individual has some kind of “contact” presumably regarding an offense - with the law.
That makes it a good law all around.
The libs and Dems are grand-standing and race baiting as usual.
The Federal law:
***********Every alien, eighteen years of age and over, shall at all times
carry with him and have in his personal possession any certificate
of alien registration or alien registration receipt card issued to
him pursuant to subsection (d) of this section. Any alien who fails
to comply with the provisions of this subsection shall be guilty of
a misdemeanor and shall upon conviction for each offense be fined
not to exceed $100 or be imprisoned not more than thirty days, or both
