Prince William County Wants Immigration Lawsuit Dismissed

Prince William County has asked a federal judge to dismiss a lawsuit challenging a resolution targeting illegal immigrants.
The county's residents filed the lawsuit in early October.
The resolution aims to cut back public services to illegal immigrants as well as to encourage police to check immigration status.
The lawsuit claims the resolution violates the equal protection clause because it targets Hispanics. County officials argue that illegal immigrants should be able to seek solutions from their local government
