In a surprise move, Fremont leaders have ignored a recommendation to move forward with a special election. Instead, they say they'll appeal a judge's ruling on a proposed illegal-immigration measure.

Following nearly an hour of closed-door discussions Tuesday night, the Fremont City Council opted to indefinitely postpone consideration of a measure that seeks to ban renting to and hiring illegal immigrants. Also on hold is a special election on the proposed ordinance.

Dodge County District Judge John Samson ruled last week that the city had to move forward with the election. He said the court couldn't weigh in on the legality of the proposal until voters approved it.

City staff had recommended the council call for a July 14 special election.

Americans want an end to this illegal invasion of our sovereign country and aim to get it. We are not going to put up with it any longer. Report and deport all illegal aliens so that we can have a great country once again. We are tired of all the crime coming in from our border.

To Whom This May Concern: Please get this link to the Fremont city Council. They have EVERY RIGHT to pass a law to prevent renting to ILLEGAL ALIENS. http://www.ilw.com/immigdaily/cases/2009,0407-hethmon.pdf I'd send it myself if I knew where to send it. Hazleton's decision should be coming down soon. It has been six months since the trial. It's just amazing all problems these ILLEGAL ALIENS have caused. These problems will not go away until every ILLEGAL ALIEN is back in their own country where they belong. GO FREMONT! Don't let up now!
