Florida ban on property purchases by citizens of China and some other countries is challenged
A lawyer representing Chinese nationals living and working in Florida argued that a new law banning citizens of China and other countries from purchasing property in large areas of the state violates federal housing discrimination laws.
The American Civil Liberties Union is seeking an injunction to block the enforcement of the law, which went into effect on July 1. The ACLU lawyer stated that Florida's law is extreme and unfairly discriminates against Chinese citizens, equating them with the Chinese Communist Party.
