Update on Alabama's Anti-Immigrant Law & Fact Sheets Available in Vietnamese and Korean
On June 9, 2011, Alabama Governor Robert Bentley signed into law the Alabama Taxpayer and Citizen Protection Act, or HB 56. In July, the Asian American Justice Center (AAJC) and other civil and immigrants' rights groups, including the Asian Law Caucus, filed a lawsuit to stop HB 56 from going into effect because AAJC and others believe HB 56 violates federal law. Alabama is home to more than 46,000 Asian Americans, many of whom may be impacted by this anti-immigrant law. The federal Department of Justice also filed a lawsuit to block HB 56.

On September 28, a federal judge issued a decision in the two lawsuits. HB 56 has many different sections and the court blocked only some sections of HB 56 but not the entire law. This means that some parts of HB 56 are in effect now and may impact community members. This fact sheet (available in English, Vietnamese and Korean) explains what the court decided and what community members need to know about Alabama's HB 56. AAJC's affiliate, the Asian Law Caucus, graciously provided the Vietnamese and Korean translations. If you have questions about HB 56, please contact Erin Oshiro at (202) 296-2300 x. 124 or This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it .
