AG has until July 3rd to outline issues in appeal regarding immigration law


Associated Press

TULSA, Okla. - The 10th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals gives Attorney General Drew Edmondson until July 3rd to outline issues it will challenge in a decision blocking parts of Oklahoma's immigration law.

An Edmondson spokeswoman told the Tulsa World the office is still reviewing U.S. District Judge Robin Cauthron's ruling, which granted an injunction stopping enforcement of sections that would've gone into effect July 1st.

One would require an employer to verify a worker's eligibility for employment within the United States. The other would require businesses to verify the work authorization status of individual independent contractors to avoid state penalties.

Edmondson's office issued notices that it's appealing Cauthron's decisions granting the injunction and denying the defendants request for her to dismiss the lawsuit challenging House Bill 1804.

The U.S. Chamber of Commerce and several state chambers filed for an injunction alleging that the challenged sections of the law are pre-empted by federal law and are unconstitutional under the supremacy clause of the U.S. Constitution.

The law's author, Moore state Representative Randy Terrill, couldn't be reached for comment.
