(CNN) -- Federal officials and residents across the country gave mixed reactions to U.S. District Judge Susan Bolton's preliminary injunction Wednesday against part of the controversial Arizona immigration law. The ruling at least temporarily blocks police from questioning people about their immigration status. Here are some of the opinions: Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer Brewer issued a statement Wednesday afternoon saying she's not ready to give up. "This fight is far from over," she said. "In fact, it is just the beginning, and at the end of what is certain to be a long legal struggle, Arizona will prevail in its right to protect our citizens. I am deeply grateful for the overwhelming support we have received from across our nation in our efforts to defend against the failures of the federal government.
