PLAINTIFFS’ NOTICE
REGARDING BUQUER V. CITY OF INDIANAPOLIS
Plaintiffs file this notice to provide the Court with the preliminary injunction
opinion issued on the evening of June 24, 2011 in Buquer v. City of Indianapolis,
Case 1:11-cv-708 (S.D. Ind.). The plaintiffs in Buquer challenge two provisions of
Indiana’s recently enacted Senate Enrolled Act 590, a state immigration law that
was scheduled to go into effect on July 1, 2011. The challenged provisions: (1)
authorize state and local law enforcement officers to make warrantless arrests of
individuals for civil immigration violations, and (2) criminalize the knowing or
intentional offer or acceptance of a consular identification card as a valid form of
identification.

The Buquer court’s reasoning may be useful to this Court as it considers the
pending motion for preliminary injunction and motion to dismiss. A copy of the
Buquer ruling is attached here (Attachment 1).
Respectfully submitted,1
