A team of Justice Department attorneys reviewing the new immigration law in Arizona has recommended that the U.S. government challenge the state law in federal court, but the recommendation faces an uncertain future and tough scrutiny from others in the Justice Department, sources with knowledge of the process tell Fox News.
Staff attorneys within the Justice Department recently sent higher-ups the recommendation. At the same time, the Justice Department's Civil Division, which oversees the majority of immigration enforcement issues for the department, has drafted a "civil complaint" that would be filed in federal court in Arizona, sources said.
The draft complaint challenges the Arizona law as unconstitutional, saying it is illegal because it impedes federal law, according to the sources, who would not offer any more details about the draft complaint or the arguments made in it.
Two weeks ago, Attorney General Eric Holder told lawmakers such an issue was being considered by Justice Department lawyers reviewing the new law, which outlines and possibly broadens the authority of police to detain those suspected of being in the country illegally.

Yes, it was a slow process of offering states matching $$$ to implement a certain program, with strings attached, of course.
Black Panthers intimidating voters with nightsticks? - OK
Enforcing Immigration laws? - Not OK
We understand fully what we are dealing with.
Liberals NEED non-liberals to support them in their visions of a socialist utopia. However, non-liberals have absolutely no need of or use for liberals.
As much as we all despise the left-wing socialist pos POTUS, we’ve got to admit he is good at smoke blowing diversionary tactics. The Guard to AZ will successfully dupe mindless trolls who are opposed to wets but like the anointed one. That, he hopes, will sway some to continue the commie course.
The ultimate objective is to marginilize all who oppose the wet invasion as racists who would tear down the Statue of Liberty. Of course the dinosaur media, hollyturds, and leftists everywhere are complicit in this plan.
If the plan is successful (heaven forbid) then we have ~15 million additional welfare hogs that will need some “necessary” redistribution of income from those “rich” people who constantly beat down the poor. Al Sharpton will be appointed Redistribution Czar and of course reparations will be a necessary adjunct to this plan. His assistant, Bloombutthole, will be in charge of redistributing your guns to members of the New Cartel headquartered in your community.
Sounds farfetched? Freepers know differently.
I saw someone in FOXNews.com comments section refer to the dictator-in-chief as ObaMao.
Securing our borders is not an illegal law that it should be challenged. The illegals have no rights, they are not citizens.
See...requiring law enforcement officials to comply with federal law impedes federal law.
Get it? No? That just means you’re not a liberal.
If every state that can - were to file a bill similar to the AZ one - they would have a time coming after all of us!
It impedes the feds from not doing their constitutional duty?
