Senate Pro Tem Greg Treat said. "The Oklahoma Legislature is taking the necessary action to protect our citizens. Doing nothing is unconscionable and this legislation is the appropriate measure to keep Oklahomans safe and uphold the rule of law.”
Some questions:
What does Oklahoma do now with undocumented immigrants it finds?
Seeing as how the U.S. Customs Border and Protection “Order of Release on Cognizance” legally releases an immigrant into the U.S. as part of removal proceedings, what more does this Oklahoma law do exactly?
Without the answers to those questions, this seems performative to me, so Republicans in Oklahoma can say, “See! We’re doing something!” despite achieving nothing at all.

They’d put them in jail/prison.
I thought the supreme already said states can’t do this. Immigration is controlled by the federal government
