ST. HELENS, Ore. (OO) — A Columbia County judge blocked a voter-backed ballot measure that would fine employers for hiring illegal immigrants from taking effect as scheduled Monday.

The measure was challenged by a coalition of Columbia County business owners and voters represented by the American Civil Liberties Union and the Northwest Workers’ Justice Project.

Judge Ted E. Grove said Friday he was approving the injunction while he reviews issues raised by the measure’s opponents.
