FLASH!!!!
The AP is reporting that Hazelton, Pennsylvania's anti-immigrant law has just been struck down by a federal judge.
Hazelton's Republican mayor Louis Barletta pushed through a housing law intended to make it unlawful for "illegal" immigrants to live in Hazelton. The result however was that the laws and their enforcement has had a detrimental impact on all Latino residents, including legal immigrants as well as U.S. citizens of Puerto Rican heritage.
Since many other towns adopted the Hazelton anti-immigrant housing codes, it's expected that those other laws will also be challenged.
