Attorney General Holder made an appearance on ABC’s “This Week” on 5/09/10 at which time he voiced concern that enforcement of the Arizona immigration law could lead to racial profiling.
Holder said “we could potentially get on a slippery slope where people will be picked on because of how they look as opposed to what they have done.”
The Associated Press reported on the appearance of Attorney General Holder on “This Week” in a 5/09/10 article entitled: ‘Holder Warns Arizona Law Could Create ‘Slippery Slope’ Toward Racial Profiling.’
Holder reportedly said the Justice Department was “considering all of our options,” including a lawsuit either on grounds that the Arizona law had pre-empted federal powers or was a violation of federal civil rights statutes.
