US court halts Florida law preventing Chinese citizens from owning property
A U.S. appeals court has temporarily halted Florida's enforcement of a law preventing Chinese citizens from owning property in the state, ruling in favor of two Chinese nationals who were in the process of buying property when the law was enacted. The court’s decision: On Thursday, the court panel, from the 11th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals, stated that the plaintiffs demonstrated a substantial likelihood of prevailing in their argument that the Florida law, known as SB 264, violates a federal law related to real estate purchases by foreign nationals.
