Final Answer :
B
Explanation :
The Supreme Court upheld the provision that local police check the immigration status of an individual detained for other reasons if there are grounds to suspect that the person was in the country illegally. However, the Court struck down provisions that made it a state crime for immigrants to not carry their registration papers and prohibited undocumented immigrants from seeking employment. The Court also limited the provision allowing police to stop individuals suspected of being undocumented immigrants, stating that it could lead to racial profiling.
