Florida Attorney General James Uthmeier (R) asked the Supreme Court on Monday to allow the state to enforce its new immigration law as an appeal plays out in a lower court.

Florida Attorney General James Uthmeier proposed a new law in honor of a Tallahassee girl whose stepfather allegedly murdered her while he was out on bond.

Florida passed a law making it a crime for people in the U.S. illegally to enter the state. A federal judge said it's likely unconstitutional.
