A church group plans to file a federal lawsuit against the measure. Hispanic groups have also vowed to fight the new law in court. “By signing it, this bill, Governor Brewer has thrown the door wide open for racial profiling,” said Janet Murguia, president and CEO of the National Council of La Raza [COLOR=#FF0000][B]Some local law enforcement agencies have protested, saying their resources will be stretched thin.
