The Department of Justice and other agencies filed a complaint Tuesday in Salt Lake City that challenges Utah's immigration law, saying the state violates the U.S. Constitution due to its attempt to establish a state-specific immigration policy.
The department said the law mandates enforcement measures that can disrupt immigration practices by the federal government in the area. The Justice Department also expressed concern that, under the law, individuals could potentially be harassed and wrongfully detained, according to a statement.
This is the second lawsuit filed against the law. Civil rights groups filed a lawsuit earlier this year, and a federal judge granted a temporary restraining order in May against House Bill 497. That bill requires people arrested for serious crimes to prove their citizenship but gives police discretion to check citizenship for lesser crimes.
Similar lawsuits have taken aim at immigration enforcement in states like Arizona, Alabama and South Carolina.

I'm happy to see states taking aim at illegal aliens who come into the United States illegally. They are criminals and need to be removed from our nation. If they want to live here, get here the correct way. Legally!
The only reason the FEDS want the illegal's here is because they want the mexican votes that typically go to the liberal democrats. Please contact your senators and governors and let them know you want the illegal's out of here!
