Undocumented-Immigrant Housing Ban Allowed by High Court

The U.S. Supreme Court refused to say whether states and cities can bar landlords from renting to undocumented aliens, leaving intact a lower court disagreement and steering clear of the national debate over illegal immigration.
The justices today, without comment, turned away a challenge to a Fremont, Nebraska, anti-harboring law, which civil rights advocates said conflicts with federal immigration measures. A St. Louis-based federal appeals court upheld the law, putting it at odds with appellate courts that have considered similar measures elsewhere.
