Arizona’s appeal on Monday over a law that would deny bail to immigrants here illegally, especially those who were arrested for a felony or crime, has been rejected by the Supreme Court recently.

The state’s voters had adopted the measure in the year 2006, and the Court said that people who had made an entry into the United States illegally and who were arrested for serious felonies would not be released on bail.

The law was however struck down last year by the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals as it stated that all people fell under the Constitution’s protection for liberty in the United States, and that people who were under arrest had a right to an individual hearing – on whether they should be released before a trial.

But though the case was considered for many weeks it was finally stated by the Court that the appeal would not be heard.

The court’s action was praised by the American Civil Liberties Union. The Union had fought the Proposition 100. According to a director of an Immigrants’ Rights Project laws that were driven by the spread of fear were bad policy and violated everyone’s civil rights. According the Director the law had been in effect for about 7 years and had an impact on thousands of people.
