Judge blocks Prop 187 as federal court considers constitutionality
A federal judge temporarily blocks key provisions of California's Prop 187, delaying enforcement of denying public services to illegal immigrants. He cites potential due process violations from lack of hearings and potential conflict with federal law over duties for teachers and police. The order also bars police reporting. Civil rights groups and students challenge the measure, while opponents point to Plyler v. Doe as precedent.
