The 9th Circuit Court of Appeals has upheld a decision made by U.S. District Judge Susan Bolton in July 2010. Bolton's ruling stripped the immigration bill, SB 1070, of its most important provision that required police to inquire about immigration status after an individual committed a crime.

The 9th Circuit Court of Appeals, located in San Francisco, is the most liberal in the country and has the most decisions reversed by the Supreme Court.
