Lawsuit challenges illegal immigrant crackdown – Hazleton, Pennsylvania
“Hispanic groups and the American Civil Liberties Union filed a lawsuit Monday against a small city that has sparked national attention over its immigration policies, setting the stage for a legal battle over its crackdown on illegal immigrants.
The ordinance, approved by the Hazleton City Council last month, imposes fines on landlords who rent to illegal immigrants and denies business permits to companies that give them jobs. The law empowers the city to investigate written complaints about a person’s immigration status, using a database operated by the federal government.”
