Victory for Aliens! Local Texas Anti-Immigrant Housing Law (Still) Unconstitutional

July 25, 2013 by Lynn Olinger

Still unconstitutional:  Trying to oust immigrants from Farmers Branch, Texas through discriminatory, anti-immigrant housing laws.  Farmers Branch’s Latino population is over 45%.  The Dallas suburb’s ordinance criminalized housing rentals to those immigrants it considered unlawfully present.  The law never took effect;  it was blocked from the outset by two previous court decisions. The Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals en banc ruled the ordinance overstepped local-government boundaries and interfered with federal immigration laws.

 

Filed Under: Constitutional Litigation, immigration, Rights, undocumented immigrants
