“About 500 people rallied yesterday against recently passed anti-illegal immigrant measures in Prince William County, and Latino religious leaders threatened a federal lawsuit and local boycott if the county does not rescind or alter its resolution cracking down on undocumented residents.

Leaders of the National Coalition of Latino Clergy and Christian Leaders, which organized the event, said they hope to meet with county officials in the next two weeks to alter the resolution. But barring significant changes to the measure, which was passed unanimously last month by Prince William supervisors, they said they will file a lawsuit in U.S. District Court.”
