Another Lawsuit Challenges City's Anti-Immigrant Laws

Another lawsuit has been filed against the Texas city of Farmers Branch, in an effort to prevent the city from enforcing recently-passed laws dealing with immigrants.

This suit is brought by The American Civil Liberties Union of Texas and the Mexican-American Legal Defense and Educational Fund. They are attempting to block a city ordinance that would  fine apartment owners up to $500 a day for renting to illegal immigrants. The ordinance is to go into effect January 12, 2007.

The gist of the suit is that it will force families to break up, and it discriminates against Latinos. This lawsuit is the third to be filed against Farmers Branch since the new ordinances were passed late last year.
