FREMONT, Neb. (AP) - A Fremont-based task force intending to address illegal immigration issues has expanded its membership to include more than two dozen people.

The membership list released Monday includes representatives from the offices of Attorney General Jon Bruning, U.S. Rep. Jeff Fortenberry and U.S. Sen. Ben Nelson. Local members include the city and county attorneys, chief of police, corrections director, council members and residents.

The task force was formed following the City Council's defeat of an ordinance that would have banned renting to and hiring illegal immigrants.

The group is set to meet within the next 10 days. Its recommendations are expected within eight to 10 weeks.
