HAZLETON, Pennsylvania -- The city of Hazleton has filed an appeal of U.S. District Judge James M. Munley’s ruling that its Illegal Immigration Relief Act is unconstitutional.
The appeal was filed Thursday with the 3rd Circuit Court of Appeals in Philadelphia.
“I think today further proves that the city of Hazleton is not going to roll over and back down,” Hazleton Mayor Lou Barletta said.
Not only is the city appealing Judge Munley’s main judgment in the case, it is also appealing several of Judge Munley’s pre-trial orders, Mr. Barletta said.
“I feel very confident, and I’m anxious to move this case on to Philadelphia,” Mr. Barletta said.
