The Nebraska Supreme Court will hear arguments in a case stemming from Fremont's proposed illegal immigration ordinance.

The city is appealing an April ruling from a Dodge County
district judge. It concluded the city must hold an election on a
proposal to ban renting to and hiring illegal immigrants in the
city.

Fremont city leaders argue the proposal is unconstitutional and could
expose the city to costly legal challenges. But Judge John Samson
said the matter was out of his hands until voters approved the
measure.

City leaders had asked to bypass the state's Court of
Appeals and have the high court take the case.

City Attorney Dean Skokan said Monday that a hearing date hasn't
been set.
