Neb. city could suspend law on illegal immigrants

Associated Press - July 23, 2010 4:45 PM ET

OMAHA, Neb. (AP) - The Fremont City Council will consider suspending implementation of a controversial new law banning hiring or renting property to illegal immigrants.

The council says in a Friday news release that a resolution on the suspension will be taken up at its Tuesday meeting.

The city faces two federal lawsuits from civil rights groups over the voter-approved ordinance. The American Civil Liberties Union and the Mexican American Legal Defense & Educational Fund say the ordinance amounts to discrimination.

The ban is set to go into effect on Thursday. A federal judge has scheduled a Wednesday hearing on whether to temporarily block the law.

The council says it plans to defend the law in court.
