Oklahoma recently passed an anti-immigrant law. Federal government filed a lawsuit in the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Oklahoma seeking to “preserve its exclusive authority under federal law to regulate the entry, reentry, and presence of noncitizens,” arguing that Oklahoma’s House Bill 4156, like Texas’s preliminarily enjoined Senate Bill 4 and Iowa’s recently enacted Senate File 2340, impermissibly creates a state-specific immigration system that seeks to regulate noncitizens’ entry, reentry, and presence in the United States. Oklahoma’s House Bill 4156 is set to become effective on 7/1/24 and purports to create new state crimes and impose state penalties on noncitizens in Oklahoma who have unlawfully entered or reentered the United States.
