Oklahoma Immigration Law
A 10th Circuit panel expressed skepticism about Oklahoma's law that attempts to make it a crime for unauthorized immigrants to live in the state. The law is in conflict with federal law, which regulates immigration matters.
Consequences for Immigrants
If the law is passed, it could have serious consequences for unauthorized immigrants living in Oklahoma. They may face criminal prosecution and deportation.
