TL;DR Summary

Chinese citizens living in Florida have sued the state to strike down a new law that would bar citizens of China and several other countries from owning homes and land in the state. The law, which takes effect July 1, is unconstitutional and violates a federal law banning housing discrimination, according to the lawsuit filed by the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU). The law prohibits individuals who are "domiciled" in China and are not U.S. citizens or green card holders from owning buildings or land in Florida.
