Pennsylvania Immigration Trial Begins
ACLU attorneys were in federal court this week to challenge a local law that would legitimize discrimination against the immigrant community in Hazleton, PA. Current law punishes landlords and employers who do business with undocumented immigrants.
“Anti-immigrant laws like those in Hazleton are misguided, unconstitutional and undemocratic,” said Anthony D. Romero, Executive Director of the national ACLU. “These laws encourage racial profiling and undercut American values of fairness and equality.” Posted on the U.S. Immigration Weblog
