Hispanic leaders to sue over Oklahoma illegal-immigrant law

“An Oklahoma law designed to crack down on illegal immigration will be challenged in a federal lawsuit, Hispanic leaders announced Friday.

The Rev. Miguel Rivera, president of the National Coalition of Latino Clergy and Christian Leaders, said a suit could come within days and would address the constitutionality of the law, which goes into effect Nov. 1.

Mr. Rivera also said coalition leaders will consider asking a federal judge for an injunction to stop implementation of the law, and called on the author of the legislation that created it, Rep. Randy Terrill, R-Moore, to resign.”
