In immigration news, the American Civil Liberties Union has filed the country’s first court challenges to new laws that target undocumented immigrants. In New Jersey, the ACLU is contesting a law in the town of Riverside that sets harsh penalties for hiring undocumented workers. The Pennsylvania town of Hazleton has imposed a similar law that also sets English as its official language. In its lawsuit there, the ACLU states: “If the ordinance is allowed to stand, anyone who looks or sounds ’foreign’… will not be able to participate meaningfully in life in Hazleton, returning to the days when discriminatory laws forbade certain classes of people from owning land, running businesses or living in certain places.”
