Illegal Immigration Election Results Certified By Fremont Council
(Fremont, NE) -- The city of Fremont, Nebraska has officially banned illegal immigrants from working and living in their city.
Former City Councilman Bob Warner started the effort two years ago by proposing the ordinance.
It was voted down by the city council, but kept alive in the form of a petition.
It then went to the voters and passed.
The Fremont city council officially certified the elections results last night in front of a large crowd.
The new law, which takes effect on July 29th, means all landlords and employers will have to electronically verify a person's legal status before renting or hiring.
The ACLU has promised to challenge the law in court.
