PHOENIX — A federal appellate court struck down a local ordinance in Pennsylvania aimed at illegal immigrants, potentially boosting the chances civil rights and business groups will be able to kill Arizona’s employer sanctions law and potentially the state’s new immigration law.
In a unanimous decision, the 3rd Circuit Court of Appeals said Thursday it was illegal for city officials in Hazleton to forbid companies from hiring undocumented workers. They said such action is preempted by federal law.
