    Farmers Branch - Judge orders unspecified legal payment fees

    Something is seriously wrong with this picture. Just because the fed government doesn't follow their own immigration laws and communities try to do 'something' they end up having to pay groups like MALDEF and the ACLU (as if they aren't already hugely funded).

    Federal judge orders unspecified legal payment fees in Farmers Branch immigration case

    A Dallas federal judge ruled today in favor of payment, to be determined via strong>mediation, to the winning law firms suing the city of Farmers Branch over its renters ordinance cracking down on illegal immigration. About $2 million in legal fees is sought by the law firms of Bickel & Brewer Storefront, the Mexican American Legal Defense and Education Fund, the ACLU of Texas and the ACLU's Immigrant Rights Project.

    Mediation is to begin no later than Aug. 31, according to Judge Jane J. Boyle's order.

    The Farmers Branch City Council voted in April to appeal the Judge Boyle's decision in March that regulating immigration is "exclusively a federal power." City officials have said they won't have to make payment due to the appeal.

    The city of Farmers Branch has paid $3.4 million in nearly four years to defend three different versions of the renters ordinance from legal challengers.

    The U.S. Supreme Court said two weeks ago that it would take up an Arizona case involving a 2007 law that called for the suspension or yanking of business licenses if a business was found to knowingly hire an illegal immigrant. Key to the case is the issuance of licenses.
