54 Alabama Counties Sued for Not Allowing Immigrants to Marry
…The SPLC’s legal director, Mary Bauer, said many of the counties had policies barring issuance of marriage licenses to illegal immigrants before the new immigration law passed the Legislature.
The lawsuit was filed on behalf of U.S. citizen Linda Smith and an immigrant identified only as John Doe in the lawsuit.
The suit says the couple was unable to get a license in Montgomery County.
