Federal court: Texas anti-immigrant ordinance unconstitutional

"Judge Lindsay said in his ruling that he was aware of the widespread support for Ordinance 2903, and he recognized citizens' frustration over federal failure to enforce immigration laws. But he said the court must decide whether the law passes constitutional muster. "

"This is not the first time – nor will it be the last – that a court has held a politically popular ordinance to be unconstitutional," the judge wrote."
