A federal appeals court in Alabama partially blocked a controversial immigration law on Friday, according to the New York Times.
The court issued an injunction against the section that requires school districts to check the immigration status of their students, reported the L.A. Times.
The court upheld other provisions of the law, including one that makes it a felony for illegal immigrants to enter "business transactions," including applying for a driver's license, according to the L.A. Times.
Attendance at schools have wavered in the past two weeks, with Hispanic absences climbing over 4,000 above the normal value, reported the New York Times.
