*NOTE: On June 4, 2008, the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Oklahoma issued an injunction barring the state from enforcing the state's E-Verify law. The injunction will prevent Oklahoma from enforcing the law until a final decision is reached on whether the Oklahoma law should be invalidated because it is preempted by federal law. Oklahoma has appealed the district court’s decision.
