Kobach faces Supreme Court roadblocks on immigration ordinances
The Supreme Court left in place rulings striking down Farmers Branch Texas and Hazleton Pennsylvania ordinances that prevented landlords from renting to undocumented migrants and barred employers from hiring them. Kobach defended similar measures including E-Verify, noting Fremont Nebraska is before the court. The ruling contrasts with SB 1070 origins and a South Carolina settlement over similar enforcement limits.
