Hazleton sued by far-left illegal immigration supporters (Part 2)

This page has a round-up with links to the ordinances, complaint, etc.

UPDATE: That was quick. A federal judge (James Munley of the U.S. District Court for the Middle District of Pennsylvania and a Dem) has issued a temporary restraining order forbidding Hazelton from enforcing their new laws. It extends for two weeks, and:

In a 13-page opinion, Munley said immigrants risked "irreparable injury" by being evicted from their apartments if the law is enforced. He also said he was not convinced by the city council's argument that illegal immigration increases crime and overburdens social services... "Defendant offers only vague generalizations about the crime allegedly caused by illegal immigrants but has nothing concrete to back up these claims," Munley wrote...
