Eve of SB 1070. An EFE analysis concludes that Judge Bolton’s decision, whatever it may be, will only deepen divisions in the immigration debate. La Opinión reports that Sheriff Joe Arpaio is adding a new section to his “tent city” for detainees he plans to apprehend if the law is allowed to go into effect, or for a “sweep” he plans to conduct tomorrow even if it is not.

El Nuevo Herald, Mundo Hispánico, and El Diario La Estrella have more on the story.
