Oklahoma prohibits sanctuary policies and requires state and local agencies to cooperate with federal immigration enforcement, codified under 21 O.S. 1290.27 and related statutes.
Under 21 O.S. 1290.27 and related provisions, no political subdivision in Oklahoma may adopt or enforce any policy that limits or restricts the cooperation of local officials with federal immigration authorities. Cities, counties, and law enforcement agencies must honor lawful federal detainer requests and may not prohibit officers from inquiring about immigration status during lawful stops or arrests. The state's broader immigration framework, including 22 O.S. provisions, requires reporting of suspected unlawful presence in certain custodial settings. Jurisdictions adopting sanctuary policies risk loss of state funding and civil enforcement actions by the attorney general. Recent state legislation has further strengthened cooperation mandates between state troopers, sheriffs, and federal Immigration and Customs Enforcement.
Adopting sanctuary policies, ignoring federal detainers, or barring officer inquiries about status may trigger loss of state funding and attorney general enforcement.
