A lower court sided with the administration and agreed to prevent four of the most controversial provisions from going into effect.

The court’s 5-3 decision struck down 3 of 4 parts in AZ's controversial immigration law, but upholds measures allowing police to stop suspected undocumented workers.

It was a landmark decision and will surely change the scope of immigration reform in years to come. Here are a few other key aspects of the court's Arizona immigration decision.
