The 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals ruled Wednesday, March 21, 2012, that the ordinance passed by Farmers Branch in 2008 overstepped the town's authority, upholding a lower court ruling stopping a ban on illegal immigrants seeking housing. The law called on the city's building inspector to check the immigration status of anyone wanting to rent an apartment who wasn't a U.S. citizen.  (AP Photo/L.M. Otero, File)
