10th Circuit Case Upholds E-Verify Mandate, Other Oklahoma Provisions on Hold
"A federal appeals court panel ruled Tuesday that a portion of Oklahoma's anti-illegal immigration law is enforceable now, while other provisions of the law are not," the Oklahoman reported. "[Rep.]Terrill said he is pleased the panel upheld the section of the law that requires employers contracting with government entities to use the federal E-Verify computer system to verify job seekers' eligibility. 'So what it signals is that I can now proceed with what would perhaps be the next step which is to simply remove the public contracting requirement and require all employers to use E-Verify to make sure that the people that they're hiring are legal,' Terrill said."
