Immigration Law Faces New Legal Test In Tulsa

Attorneys will ask a Tulsa federal judge Wednesday to put a hold on a new law that would crack down on illegal immigration in Oklahoma, the Associated Press reports. The group plans to ask for a temporary injunction. A federal lawsuit challenging the law, which goes into effect Thursday, was refiled last week. It added eight undocumented residents who plan to testify that they will face eviction from their landlords unless they provide legal identification, such as a social security card, as required by the new law. The other plaintiffs include the National Coalition of Latino Clergy and two churches.
