City's Immigration Case Headed for Hearing
Fremont, Neb.

The Nebraska Court of Appeals could hear arguments as soon as November in a case stemming from Fremont's proposed illegal-immigration ordinance.


The Nebraska Court of Appeals could hear arguments as soon as November in a case stemming from Fremont's proposed illegal-immigration ordinance.

It is tentatively scheduled for argument when the court meets Nov. 17-19 in Omaha.

The city's request for the Nebraska Supreme Court to take the case directly still stands.

Fremont city leaders are appealing a Dodge County district judge's ruling that the city must hold an election on a proposal that would ban renting to and hiring illegal immigrants in Fremont.

Petitioners turned in enough valid signatures earlier this year to force a special election on the proposal.

City leaders have argued that the proposal is unconstitutional.
