RSSJudicial Watch files brief in favor of town’s immigration ordinances
J.J. Jackson* | February 23, 2008
A public-interest group that investigates and prosecutes government corruption has filed an amicus brief in support of an appeal to a ruling by a federal judge that threw out two city ordinances of Hazleton, Pennsylvania, aimed at curbing illegal immigration. The city of Hazleton was originally sued by the American Civil Liberties Union, some unnamed illegal aliens, and other groups that support illegal immigration. The two disputed ordinances would have fined employers in the city who knowingly hired illegal aliens, and landlords who knowingly harbored them. Tom Fitton, president of Judicial Watch — which filed the amicus brief in support of Hazleton’s appeal — says “these are matters perfectly within the purview of local communities, and there’s nothing that preempted or contravenes federal law as the ACLU and its ilk suggests.”
