Just in: State District Judge Bruce Priddy has ordered Farmers Branch to not enforce its anti-immigrant ordinance scheduled to go into effect on Friday.
The case before Judge Priddy is one of several lawsuits filed in state and federal courts challenging anti-immigrant measures adopted in November by the Farmers Branch City Council, a matter I last wrote about here.
Hope the Farmers Branch city attorney and council members haven't been planning any vacations for the near future; I think they're going to be, as they should, spending a lot of time answering to some judges--to the detriment of attending to the real needs of Farmers Branch residents.

Of course, since the judge is a Democrat, the "activist" judge card has already been played in the right wing media.
I find the Open Meetings Act lawsuit as the strongest case. Perhaps I am biased. If the city council were found to have broken the law -- a civil law -- just as the immigrants have -- that would bring some parity.
