U.S. Supreme Court Lets Stand Lower Court Rulings Prohibiting Anti-Immigrant Housing Ordinances in PA and TX

NEW YORK—(ENEWSPF)—March 3, 2014. The U.S. Supreme Court today declined to hear two prominent cases involving anti-immigrant local ordinances in Hazleton, Pennsylvania and Farmers Branch, Texas that would have denied housing to immigrants that the cities considered “illegal aliens.” The decision will let stand lower court rulings in the 3rd and 5th Circuits, respectively, that found the ordinances unconstitutional and permanently prohibited the ordinances from taking effect.
