It’s official… Cherokee County, Georgia has lost its backbone and “has agreed to temporarily block a new ordinance that bans landlords from renting to illegal immigrants, after activists launched a legal attack against it“.
The other day there was word that they might not start to enforce the ordinances, set to take effect on January 1, because it seems that the impending lawsuits did the trick for opponents of the measures, making the County too afraid to actually enforce them.
UPDATE: The first legal challenge was reportedly filed by the Mexican-American Legal Defense and Educational Fund (MALDEF). Interesting, since apparently no one has actually been questioned yet under the ordinance.
