NEB: Trial of Fremont law Delayed till April 2012
Trial on Fremont law delayed
It will be next year before the trial in the legal challenge of Fremont’s illegal immigration ordinance gets under way.
A federal judge on Thursday rescheduled the trial for April 2012. It had been scheduled to start March 15.
The voter-approved ordinance, which is on hold pending legal challenges, bans hiring and renting to illegal immigrants in Fremont.
U.S. Magistrate Judge F.A. Gossett granted a request from the plaintiffs for more time to prepare for the non-jury trial, a lawyer involved in the case said.
Kris Kobach, representing the City of Fremont, said the new trial date was not unexpected.
“This is not at all unusual for a federal court to provide plaintiffs an extended period of time to look for facts that support their case,’’ Kobach said in a statement.
The lawsuits challenging the ordinance were filed by the American Civil Liberties Union of Nebraska and other parties.
The ordinance would require employers to use a federal online system to check whether a person is permitted to work in the United States
It also would require people seeking to rent property in Fremont to apply for a $5 permit at City Hall.
