Judge OK's Neb. city immigration petition
OMAHA, Neb. (AP) _ Residents of Fremont will get the chance to vote on a contentious proposal seeking to curb illegal immigration. A Dodge County District Judge on Monday dismissed the city's claim that it can't legally enact a proposed ordinance that seeks to bar anyone in Fremont from hiring or renting to illegal immigrants. The City Council voted down a similar ordinance last summer. Petitioners turned in more than 3,100 valid signatures to force a special election on the proposal. Kris Kobach, the Kansas City, Mo.-based attorney representing the petition organizers, said the law was always on the petitioners side. (Copyright 2009 by The Associated Press. All Rights Reserved.)
