OPINION
PAEZ, Circuit Judge:In April 2010, in response to a serious problem of unautho-rized immigration along the Arizona-Mexico border, the Stateof Arizona enacted its own immigration law enforcement pol-icy. Support Our Law Enforcement and Safe NeighborhoodsAct, as amended by H.B. 2162 (“S.B. 1070”), “make[s] attri-tion through enforcement the public policy of all state andlocal government agencies in Arizona.” S.B. 1070 § 1. Theprovisions of S.B. 1070 are distinct from federal immigrationlaws. To achieve this policy of attrition, S.B. 1070 establishesa variety of immigration-related state offenses and defines theimmigration-enforcement authority of Arizona’s state andlocal law enforcement officers.Before Arizona’s new immigration law went into effect, theUnited States sued the State of Arizona in federal districtcourt alleging that S.B. 1070 violated the Supremacy Clauseon the grounds that it was preempted by the Immigration andNationality Act (“INA”), and that it violated the CommerceClause. Along with its complaint, the United States filed amotion for injunctive relief seeking to enjoin implementationof S.B. 1070 in its entirety until a final decision is made about
