Escondido council stops court fight on rental ordinance – California
Tagged: California, Escondido, judgePosted on: December 14th, 2006“In a significant turnaround, the Escondido City Council announced Wednesday night that it has halted its efforts to defend in court a city ordinance that would punish landlords for renting to illegal immigrants.
Facing a potentially costly battle in federal court against the American Civil Liberties Union and other civil rights groups, the council said in a written statement that it would seek to make permanent the temporary restraining order against the ordinance issued by federal Judge John Houston at the end of November.”
