Looks like the ACLU is doing the Obama regime’s bidding.

(Fox News) — The American Civil Liberties Union has filed a lawsuit seeking to block enforcement of a new law in Indiana that targets undocumented immigrants.

The lawsuit, filed on Wednesday in U.S. District Court in Indianapolis, challenges the law’s expansion of local police powers to include arresting – without probable cause — immigrants who have been ordered deported and its making illegal the use of identification issued by foreign consulates.

The ACLU says the arrest provisions violate constitutional protections against arrest without probable cause. It also says that Indiana is overextending its constitutional bounds by regulating international affairs with the ID measure.

“Indiana has created a law that not only tramples on the constitutional rights of Hoosiers, but also improperly involves Indiana in areas that are clearly of federal, not state, concerns,” said Ken Falk, legal director of the ACLU of Indiana, in a statement on the organization’s website.

The law, which Gov. Mitch Daniels signed recently, is scheduled to go into effect on July 1. Like many states, Indiana drew inspiration for its measure from Arizona, which last year passed the strictest state-level immigration law in the country. Parts of it, however, have been blocked by court challenges.
