ACLU sues to halt RI governor's immigration order

PROVIDENCE, R.I.: A civil rights group filed a lawsuit Wednesday seeking to
block Gov. Don Carcieri from enforcing an executive order requiring private
employers to electronically check the immigration status of new hires.

The lawsuit, filed by the state branch of the American Civil Liberties
Union, challenges an executive order that Carcieri signed in March to clamp
down on illegal immigration.

Carcieri's order requires state police and prison officials to identify
illegal immigrants for possible deportation. It also forces state agencies
and companies doing business with the state to use a federal database to
check the immigration status of new employees. Companies that refuse to
comply could lose their state contracts.

The ACLU argues that the database, E-Verify, disproportionately identifies
foreign-born employees as ineligible to work and that the database could
encourage employers to discriminate against workers who appear foreign.
