Thank you, Fremont.
Supreme Court declines to hear Nebraska immigration case
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The U.S. Supreme Court on Monday left intact a Nebraska town's ordinance that cracks down on illegal immigration, declining to hear an appeal filed by a civil rights group.
The 2010 ordinance in Fremont, Nebraska, includes a provision that bars landlords from renting to illegal immigrants.
Plaintiffs represented by the Mexican American Legal Defense Fund sued, saying the measure was trumped by [unenforced] federal immigration law.
The high court's decision not to hear the plaintiffs' appeal leaves intact a June 2013 ruling by the 8th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals, which concluded that the ordinance does not conflict with federal law. . . .
