Local Hispanic leaders to announce lawsuit against immigration law
By staff reports
Local Hispanic leaders have announced plans to announce a lawsuit challenging the constitutionality of the state’s new immigration law.
House Bill 1804, the Taxpayers and Citizens Protection Act, is due to go into effect Nov. 1. It would make it a felony to transport, conceal or shelter an undocumented immigrant from detection. It also prevents illegal immigrants from getting jobs and public assistance.
The Rev. Miguel Rivera, president of the National Coalition of Latin Clergy and Christian Leaders, is expected to make the announcement at a noon news conference Friday at Tulsa’s Hispanic Chamber of Commerce.http://www.tulsaworld.com/news/article.aspx?articleID=070927_1__Local84006
