A federal judge in the United States has ruled as unconstitutional a tough anti-illegal immigration law in the town of Hazleton in Pennsylvania.
Judge James Munley said the law denied rights granted to everyone in the US, whether legally resident or not.

Businesses employing illegal workers would have had their trading licences suspended, while landlords renting to undocumented immigrants faced fines.

The ruling could affect several similar laws awaiting approval across the US.

The Illegal Immigration Relief Act in Hazleton was one of the most controversial immigration laws in the US.

It was passed last year by the town's Republican mayor, Louis J Barletta, who was hailed by conservatives for his tough stance on the issue.
