A federal judge has blocked a Dallas suburb from enforcing a sweeping anti-immigration law that would have barred the rental of homes to most undocumented immigrants. Landlords in Farmers Branch would have been forced to check if renters are U.S. citizens or visa-approved immigrants before giving them a lease. U.S. District Judge Sam Lindsay ruled town officials were trying to regulate immigration separately from the federal government.
