Georgia fighting back now after a federal judge's ruling to block parts of the State's tough new immigration law.
That was expected to go into effect in just days.
The judge blocking parts of the law.
That would penalize people who transport or harbor illegal immigrants and a provision that authorizes officers.
To verify the immigration status of someone who can't provide proper ID.
Georgia's governor vowing now to appeal.

Big news listen to ACLU the group challenging this law the Obama administration.

Young refusing to help with our State's illegal immigration problem the federal government is determined to be an obstacle.
Georgians can rest a short -- this battle doesn't end here we will appeal this decision is he right.
He's absolutely right I mean this is a point we've gotten -- in law where a judge now this was a Clinton -- -- a Democrat appointee.
And I predicted early on in this when it would probably go this way just like Arizona Indiana and -- already have but this is just the beginning of the legal process but that statement.
It's so ridiculous that's part of the judge's reasoning that people who are violating the law will leave if we enforce the law.
Eds this is the whole debate surrounding what do we do with immigration.
And illegal.
