A federal judge in Oklahoma has granted a motion to temporarily stop the state from enforcing its new anti-immigration law that would make it a state crime to be in Oklahoma illegally. U.S. District Judge Bernard M. Jones issued the order Friday to go into effect while a lawsuit brought by the U.S. Department of Justice proceeds.
OKLAHOMA CITY — A federal judge granted a motion Friday to temporarily stop Oklahoma from enforcing its new anti-immigration law that would make it a crime to live in the state without legal immigration status.
The lawsuit in federal court in Oklahoma City challenges the measure, which makes it a state crime — punishable by up to two years in prison — to live in Oklahoma without legal immigration status. Similar laws passed in Texas and Iowa are also facing challenges from the Justice Department.
