Tuscaloosa, AL – Today is the deadline for a federal judge to rule on efforts to block Alabama's strict new anti-immigration law. The law was scheduled to go into effect September 1st but a federal judge has temporarily blocked the law to consider lawsuits pending by three separate groups. Alabama Public Radio's Ryan Vasquez has more on what the law could mean for illegal immigrants and those Alabamians who help them if it is allowed to go into effect.
