Farmers Branch asks judge to rule on new house rental ordinance – Texas
Tagged: citizenship, Dallas, Farmers Branch, fbi, judge, Texas
Farmers Branch, anticipating legal challenges to its new attempt to ban housing rentals to illegal immigrants, asked a federal judge Monday to immediately begin considering the measure’s constitutionality.
The ordinance, which the City Council adopted last week, would require all prospective tenants in the city to claim U.S. citizenship or legal immigration status when applying for an occupancy license. If a federal database check later showed any non-citizens were here illegally, they would lose their licenses and be subject to fines.”*
