OKLAHOMA CITY (KFOR) — On Wednesday, Oklahoma Attorney General Gentner Drummond appealed a preliminary injunction that temporarily prevented the state from enforcing controversial immigration bill, House Bill 4156.
A federal judge granted the preliminary injunction on June 28, saying that Oklahoma may not pursue policies that undermine federal law.
“The Biden Administration’s complete and utter failure to address the border crisis has given Oklahoma no option but to take steps necessary to ensure public safety,” Drummond said. “House Bill 4156 is a powerful tool to counter criminal activity largely being fueled by illegal immigrants coming to our state.”
