The lawsuit filed by the US Department of Justice seeks to overturn an Oklahoma state law that threatens criminal consequences for illegal immigrants who go to Oklahoma, which borders Texas.
According to the MTI report, the federal government in Washington views immigration enforcement as a federal jurisdiction, and
The state of Oklahoma cannot ignore the nation's constitution.
Last week, Oklahoma State Attorney General Gentner Drummond called for the law to remain in effect and accused the Biden administration of distorting the country's immigration laws.
A lawsuit was also filed against Texas earlier
The federal government has also previously filed a lawsuit against the state of Texas, which enacted a law at the end of 2023 allowing Texas authorities to arrest illegal immigrants in the state.
The argument in Washington also suggested that immigration was a federal jurisdiction, meaning that it was the responsibility of the government controlled by the capital. The state of Texas says that federal authorities are failing to enforce the law, which is why it has assumed responsibility for protecting the southern border of the United States.
