Red state AG pushes back against Biden immigration lawsuit: ‘We’re happy to fight you’
Fox News
Oklahoma Attorney General Gentner Drummond told Fox News Digital he is ready to fight the Biden administration over a lawsuit over its anti-illegal immigration law.
The Department of Justice had written to Drummond and Gov. Kevin Stitt last week, threatening to sue over HB 4156 — which makes it a state crime to be in the state illegally and gives local law enforcement the ability to arrest illegal immigrants, and require them to leave the state within 72 hours following conviction or release from custody. On Tuesday, hours after Drummond spoke to Fox News Digital, the DOJ announced it had filed the lawsuit. Adam Shaw is a politics reporter for Fox News Digital, primarily covering immigration and border security.

The law was signed by Stitt this month and is due to go into force on July 1. It is similar to laws passed and signed into law in Iowa and Texas. Those laws have subsequently both been hit by lawsuits from the DOJ, which argues that they infringe on federal authority over immigration law and enforcement. The Texas law is currently on hold amid an ongoing lawsuit.
