Arizona orders immigration law training for police

(Reuters) - Arizona Governor Jan Brewer on Tuesday ordered the redistribution of materials to train police to enforce the state's tough immigration crackdown, in a sign that she expects the Supreme Court to endorse the measure in coming days.
Signed by Brewer in April 2010, the law sought to drive illegal immigrants out of Arizona, although most of it was blocked by a federal judge before it came into effect.

Among measures enjoined in a preliminary injunction was one requiring police to check the immigration status of anyone detained and suspected of being in the country illegally.
Brewer ordered the redistribution of training materials explaining which documents police "can use to determine whether identification presented to them is sufficient to presume a person is not an unlawfully present alien."
