The 9th Circuit has denied an injunction request by business groups concerning Arizona's employer sanctions law, clearing the way for prosecutors to begin bringing cases against businesses that knowingly hire illegal immigrants. The business groups had sought to block the law from taking effect while their appeal of a lower court decision upholding the law was pending. The law prohibits businesses from knowingly hiring illegal immigrants and suspends or revokes business license penalties for violators.
