The lawsuit will argue that Arizona's law requiring state and local police to question and possibly arrest illegal immigrants during the enforcement of other laws such as traffic stops usurps federal authority.

I still don't understand this argument. I understand the concept behind it, but a lot of state or local laws mirror Federal law.
Could you imagine a local cop letting a guy driving a car loaded with drugs go free because it's "the DEA's job to enforce drug laws"?
