FF,
Thanks a lot for the legalese.
I reported what I heard from the two lawyers on FOX. They were talking in terms of MANDATORY REQUIREMENT is blocked by the judge.
Clearly, what you posted doesn’t even imply a MANDATORY REQUIREMENT.
I'm no lawyer, but I don't see it as a mandatory requirement either. Some will get into a protracted discussion of the word "shall," but I think that the words "reasonable" and "when practicable" leave leeway for any LEO.
I've been screaming at the radio all morning.
One of the sections that was not invalidated makes it illegal for government officials to instruct their employees not to enforce immigration laws. Essentially, that eliminates sanctuary cities, and it’s sanctuary cities that prohibit law enforcement to inquire about immigration status. So, I read the decision the same way you do, inquiry is permissible, there’s just no mandate.
