Ashcroft]. All 12 appeals judges sat in an en banc session to hear the appeal to the 2 to 1 ruling in June 2008 by a Second Circuit three-judge panel that the federal courts lacked jurisdiction to hear Mr. Arar's complaint. Maher Arar is challenging his rendition by the U.S. government to Syria, where he alleges he was tortured and released after one year without being charged. Maher Arar, a Syrian-born, Canadian citizen was detained during a layover at the J.F.K. Airport in New York City in September 2002 on his way home to Canada. He was held in solitary confinement for nearly two weeks. At the time, the U.S. government thought he was a member of al-Qaeda and sent him to Syria, not Canada, the country of his citizenship. Mr. Arar's suit charges that his Fifth Amendment due process rights were violated when he was confined without access to an attorney, both domestically and in Syria. He is seeking civil damages from a number of federal officials including former Attorney General John Ashcroft. Judge Sotomayor participated by remote video. http://www.c-spanvideo.org/program/282779-1 info@c-spanarchives.org (National Cable Satellite Corporation) http://www.c-spanvideo.org/program/282779-1 Sat, 24 Apr 2004 00:00:00 GMT The U.S. Supreme Court heard oral arguments in [Arizona v. U.S.]. The case involves the issue of whether the federal government or states have the right to enforce immigration law.

Illegal immigrants are banned from soliciting for work in public places and police can arrest immigrants without a warrant if an officer believes they have committed a crime that would make them deportable. Justice Elena Kagan recused herself from the Supreme Court oral argument as she was President Obama's solicitor general when the federal government filed the lawsuit against Arizona. http://www.c-spanvideo.org/program/305611-1 info@c-spanarchives.org (National Cable Satellite Corporation) http://www.c-spanvideo.org/program/305611-1 Sat, 24 Apr 2004 00:00:00 GMT A panel of three judges at the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals heard oral arguments on the constitutionality of Arizona Senate Bill 1070.
