SB 2013 requires all Oklahoma law enforcement agencies (including county sheriff's offices and municipal police departments) to join the federal 287(g) Program by September 1, 2026, and ensure at least 25% of their certified officers (or a minimum of five officers) are trained to perform authorized immigration enforcement functions under federal supervision. Agencies failing to comply risk losing state funding, including grants from the Justice Reinvestment Program and CLEET revolving funds, and may face accreditation revocation. The bill mandates good-faith efforts to meet federal requirements for the program and directs the Attorney General to create rules for implementation. It was designated an emergency to take effect immediately upon passage.
SB 2086 requires Oklahoma law enforcement officers to file written reports for traffic collisions involving noncitizens without legal U.S. authorization, defined as "illegal aliens" under the bill. These reports must be sent to the Department of Public Safety within 20 days and made publicly available online within 10 days of receipt. The bill directly affects police agencies, drivers involved in collisions as noncitizens, and the public seeking collision records. It establishes a standardized reporting process without altering immigration law or imposing new penalties. The law takes effect November 1, 2026.
HB 3563 requires Oklahoma law enforcement to take commercial drivers identified as unauthorized migrants into custody and transfer them to federal immigration authorities. It mandates impounding the commercial vehicle and imposing a $50,000 fine on the vehicle owner, plus all impoundment costs, before release. Motor carriers operating vehicles driven by such individuals face a state-wide operating ban. The bill directly affects commercial drivers without legal status, vehicle owners, and motor carriers operating in Oklahoma, effective July 1, 2026.
HB 4423 requires the Oklahoma Health Care Authority to verify the immigration status of all Medicaid applicants using the federal SAVE system (or its successor) before approving benefits. It specifically mandates that the Authority notify U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) if an applicant's status cannot be verified as lawful. This applies to all applicants, including adults applying for child-only Medicaid benefits on behalf of a child. The bill takes effect October 1, 2026, and does not change Medicaid eligibility criteria but adds a verification step for immigration status.
HB 1932 creates a state-funded revolving account in Oklahoma's Treasury called the "Donald J. Trump Mass Deportation Revolving Fund" to finance deportation-related expenses for undocumented immigrants. The bill designates the Oklahoma State Treasurer as the fund manager, allowing unrestricted use of all monies received (from unspecified legal sources) for "deporting illegal immigrants," with expenditures requiring approval by the Office of Management and Enterprise Services. It declares an emergency and sets an effective date of July 1, 2025, though the bill has been withdrawn from committee and shows no further legislative progress. The fund's structure and naming appear politically motivated, but the bill itself proposes no new policy mechanisms beyond creating this financial account.
HB 1312 makes it a felony for individuals unlawfully present in the U.S. to be arrested for a criminal offense in Oklahoma, punishable by up to life in prison. However, courts may suspend prosecution and order deportation instead, requiring the Department of Corrections to arrange transportation to return the person to their country of origin. If someone returns to Oklahoma after deportation and is arrested again, the court can revoke the suspended sentence and impose the full original prison term. The law takes effect on November 1, 2025, directly affecting undocumented immigrants arrested for state crimes.
HB 1362 makes it a crime for non-U.S. citizens (defined as "aliens") to enter or remain in Oklahoma without legal authorization to be in the United States. First offenses are misdemeanors punishable by up to one year in jail or a $500 fine; second offenses or offenses committed during other crimes are felonies punishable by up to two years in prison or a $1,000 fine. The law requires convicted individuals to leave Oklahoma within 72 hours and mandates law enforcement to collect biometric data and check federal databases. It also preempts local governments from enacting conflicting immigration policies and creates an alternative to prison: if conditions are met (no prior violent crime, not charged with another felony), courts can order deportation instead of incarceration.
SB 865 creates a state-run data-sharing platform called the Secure Interagency Collaboration Platform to connect Oklahoma law enforcement, the Department of Corrections, and federal immigration authorities (like ICE). It requires police to report arrests of suspected unauthorized immigrants through this system and mandates corrections facilities to screen inmates for immigration status. The platform would automatically alert authorities when an unauthorized immigrant is identified within the criminal justice system, prioritizing their deportation proceedings. Agencies failing to comply with reporting or data-sharing requirements may face administrative penalties.
This bill requires federal employees (like FBI or ICE agents) to obtain written permission from a county sheriff or the state Attorney General before making arrests, conducting searches, or seizing property in Oklahoma counties, with limited exceptions (e.g., immediate crimes witnessed or federal enclaves). It mandates that sheriffs or the Attorney General may deny permission for any reason and specifies that permission requests must include details like the subject’s name, probable cause, and location. Violations - including unauthorized arrests - would be prosecuted as offenses like kidnapping, trespass, or theft, with district attorneys required to pursue charges without discretion. The bill explicitly rejects federal laws granting federal employees sheriff-like authority in Oklahoma, declaring such laws "null and void" under the Tenth Amendment.
SB 872 authorizes Oklahoma county sheriffs to collaborate with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to detain individuals without legal immigration status. The bill directly affects county sheriffs by permitting them to work with these federal agencies on immigration enforcement. Key provisions codify this authority in Oklahoma Statutes (Title 19, Section 509) and require sheriffs to follow federal guidelines during detentions. The bill becomes effective November 1, 2025.
