The brief outlines key areas where Arizona’s new law undermines federal civil rights protections for immigrant women and their families, including those who are victims of violent crime. The law is an evisceration of decades of humanitarian incentives by Congress to protect the health and safety of all people living in the United States, regardless of legal status.
