  • The ACLU and Mexican American Legal and Education Defense Fund sue a Texas suburb over a rent ordinance that makes landlords and property managers “document the U.S. citizenship or ‘eligible immigration status’ of all tenants” as a pre-condition to renting housing. According the the lawsuit, “[l]andlords will be subject to criminal conviction and civil sanctions if they fail to correctly interpret and comply” with the Dallas suburb’s law.
