ESCONDIDO – With supporters calling it an historic day for the city and the United States, the Escondido City Council by a 3-2 vote Wednesday evening enacted an ordinance banning landlords from renting to illegal immigrants.
By so doing, it becomes the largest city in the nation to pass such a law, one that opponents say will be challenged in court and hope will never be enforced. Officially, the ordinance will go into effect on Nov. 18, but opponents, including the American Civil Liberties Union, are now working on a lawsuit that will likely seek an injunction banning the city from enforcing the law until the issue is fully litigated.

“This ordinance will undoubtedly improve our image, our reputation, and certainly our quality of life,” Councilman Sam Abed said. Abed and council members Marie Waldron and Ed Gallo voted for the measure. Mayor Lori Holt-Pfeiler and councilman Ron Newman voted against it.
