OKLAHOMA CITY—Nearly two dozen illegal immigrants who were convicted in Oklahoma courts will be released from a state prison on Thursday and turned over to federal agents for deportation -- even though some may have served only a third of their sentence, corrections officials confirmed Wednesday.
The 22 inmates mark the largest group scheduled to be deported under a new state law intended to save money. It allows the release of illegal immigrants who are deemed nonviolent offenders and have served at least one-third of their prison sentence.
