U.S. District Judge Roy Altman has blocked a section of Florida's controversial SB1718, which imposes restrictions and penalties meant to deter the employment of undocumented workers in the state and makes it a felony to "knowingly and willfully" transport an undocumented immigrant into Florida.
The block is pending the outcome of a lawsuit filed last summer by the Farmworker Association of Florida and other immigrant and civil rights groups.
