The state has agreed not to enforce a provision of its immigration law that required state officials to publish a list of people known to be unlawfully in the country. Lawyers say they have reached a settlement agreement in a lawsuit challenging what critics called a “scarlet letter list.” The 2012 law required officials to publish a list of people living in the state illegally who have been arrested. But Alabama told the court last year that it had no intention of publishing the list after being warned by federal officials it was a misuse of confidential information. The Southern Poverty Law Center filed a federal lawsuit in 2013 on behalf of four people from Mexico who had been arrested for fishing without a license.
