'''Hazleton ''' is a small town of about 30,000 people in [[Pennsylvania]], which received national attention in 2006 for passing ordinances that:
* would have imposed fines on landlords who rent to illegal immigrants
* would have denied business permits to companies that hire illegal immigrants
The ordinances never took effect. Immigrants and immigrant groups sued to enjoin the ordinances and the district court struck down the ordinances in ''[[Lozano v. City of Hazleton]]'' (2007).
Less harsh community resolutions have since been upheld against legal challenge in ''[[Roe 1 v. Prince William County]]'' (2007).
