“Barack Obama sided with Mexico against the state of Arizona in a legal dispute.”
TRUE ✓

HIGH CONFIDENCE

TL;DR ·The Obama administration sued Arizona over SB 1070 while Mexico legally supported the U.S. position.

WHAT WE FOUND

The Obama administration initiated a federal lawsuit against the state of Arizona in 2010, challenging the constitutionality of the Support Our Law Enforcement and Safe Neighborhoods Act (SB 1070) . The administration argued that the state law usurped federal authority and harmed U.S. relations with Mexico, which had expressed official opposition to the measure . During the legal proceedings, Mexico and several other Latin American nations filed an amicus brief in support of the United States government's position . The resulting Supreme Court case, Arizona v. United States (2012), ultimately struck down three major provisions of the law . While the court allowed one provision regarding status checks to stand, President Obama stated he was pleased with the decision to invalidate key parts of the state's approach .
