The lawsuit challenges an Oklahoma law that makes it a state crime punishable by up to two years in prison to live in the state without legal immigration status.
The justice department contends the Oklahoma law violates the US Constitution and is seeking its invalidation to ensure adherence to congressional regulations on immigration.
Oklahoma Governor Kevin Stitt defended the bill, citing failures in border security by the Biden administration and the need for states to protect their citizens.
