A similar trend unfolded after Arizona passed a controversial immigration law in 2010, says Anand Balakrishnan, a senior staff attorney at the American Civil Liberties Union’s Immigrant Rights Project.

The drama was far from over, however, as Chicago, not content with tying things up, went in search of a winner deep into stoppage time.
