The Obama administration seeks to strike down Alabama’s immigration measure as conflicting with federal policy. The law would detain suspects during traffic stops, require E Verify, force schools to report status, and criminalize aiding undocumented immigrants, set to take effect Sept. 1. A federal hearing is scheduled for Aug. 24 as coalition groups also sue.
