Description
Argued: June 11, 1998 Appeal from a judgment dismissing a complaint in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York (John G. Koeltl, Judge). Appellants challenged the facial constitutionality of Section 434 of the Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Reconciliation Act of 1996 and Section 642 of the Illegal Immigration Reform and Immigrant Responsibility Act of 1996. These Sections invalidate state and local rules that prohibit government employees from voluntarily providing information about illegal aliens to the INS. We hold that Sections 434 and 642 are not facially unconstitutional and affirm. The City of New York prohibits its employees from voluntarily providing federal immigration authorities with information concerning the immigration status of any alien. In 1996, Congress passed Section 434 of the Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Reconciliation Act of 1996 (""Welfare Reform Act""), Pub. L. No. 104-193, 110 Stat. 2105 (1996), and Section 642 of the Illegal Immigration Reform and Immigrant Responsibility Act of 1996 (""Immigration Reform Act""), Pub. L. No. 104-208, 110 Stat. 3009 (1996). These Sections prohibit state and local governments from limiting their employees in the voluntary provision of information about the immigration status of aliens to the Immigration and Naturalization Service (""INS""). The City and Mayor Rudolph Giuliani (collectively, ""the City"") appeal from Judge Koeltl's dismissal of their action challenging the facial constitutionality of those enactments. We hold that both Sections survive the City's facial challenge and therefore affirm.
