ACLU of Alabama Tells Legislature
Immigration Bill is Unconstitutional and Violates Federal Law
On March 10, the ACLU of

told a crowd gathered at the Alabama Statehouse that HB56 is unconstitutional
irresponsible legislation that will cost the State of Alabama and local governments across the
state precious tax dollars to defend in court. HB56 specifically violates the
Supremacy Clause of the U. S. Constitution and the First, Fourth and
Fourteenth Amendments to the Constitution.
