Immigration Law in NE Delayed

The Fremont City Council has voted to delay the immigration law, which was voted upon, that makes enforcements upon people that hire and rent property to illegals.

The city faces lawsuits from the American Civil Liberties Union and the Mexican American Legal Defense & Educational Fund, which both expected to ask a federal judge Wednesday to temporarily block the ban from taking effect. After Tuesday's vote, the ACLU of Nebraska said it and the city will ask the judge to block the ordinance pending a final court resolution.

Kris Kobach, the attorney that drafted the ordinance, as well as AZ immigration law, has offered to represent Fremont for free. The city is concerned about the costs it will endure for upgrading all their software, which will confirm the legal status of a citizen, legal fees, and labor costs.

The federal government should be helping. This is their jurisdiction. Instead, they are suing!
