Drummond comments on ruling that pauses Oklahoma immigration law, vows to appeal

OKLAHOMA CITY (June 28, 2024) – Attorney General Gentner Drummond made the following remarks after a federal judge today approved a preliminary injunction halting Oklahoma’s new immigration reform law, House Bill 4156. 

“While today’s court ruling is disappointing, I will not stop fighting for Oklahoma and our right to protect our borders. The Biden Administration’s complete failure to enforce federal immigration laws made House Bill 4156 a necessity. We intend to appeal today’s decision and defend one of the most powerful tools we have to fight the criminal activity largely being fueled by illegal aliens in Oklahoma.”
