An attorney asked a federal appeals court on Friday to block a controversial Florida law signed last
An attorney asked a federal appeals court on Friday to block a controversial Florida law signed last year that restricts Chinese citizens from buying real estate in much of the state, calling it discriminatory and a violation of the federal government’s supremacy in deciding foreign affairs.
Attorney Ashley Gorski, representing four Chinese nationals who live in the state, told a three-judge panel from the 11th Circuit Court of Appeals that “Florida is unlawfully restricting housing for Chinese people.” The law bars Chinese nationals and citizens from other countries that Florida sees as a threat from buying property near military installations and other “critical infrastructure.”
She compared it to long-overturned laws from the early 20th century that barred Chinese from buying property.
“It is singling out people from particular countries in a way that is anathema to the equal protection guarantees that now exist,” Gorski told the court.
