Newsweek: Law-enforcement officers from cities in Arizona and a half dozen states met today with Attorney General Eric Holder in an hourlong, closed-door meeting to share their frustration with the new Arizona immigration law, saying it will make their jobs more difficult and even increase crime.
The question on many people's minds, however, is whether Holder will sue Arizona over the law. "He did say the Justice Department was seriously considering what they will do and that a decision will come soon," said Chuck Wexler, executive director of the Police Executive Research Forum, who took part in the talks. Los Angeles Chief of Police Charlie Beck said that Holder had listened closely to their concerns but "was not committal" on legal action.
