Farmers Branch rental ban blocked from implementation
"So far, the third time is not the charm for Farmers Branch.
U.S. District Judge Jane Boyle issued a temporary restraining order Friday barring the city from implementing its latest ordinance aimed at halting housing rentals to illegal immigrants.
Under the new measure, which city attorneys said would have gone into effect today, apartment and home renters would have to obtain a city occupancy license by stating that they were U.S. citizens or were in the country legally."
