North Dakota follows federal immigration law but allows limited cooperation between state and federal agencies through programs like the Criminal Apprehension Program, which focuses on identifying non\u2011U.S. citizens who pose public safety risks. The state does not mandate E\u2011Verify, restricts driver\u2019s licenses and in\u2011state tuition to those with lawful status (with narrow exceptions for refugees), and offers only emergency\u2011based public benefits to undocumented immigrants.<\/p>\n\n <\/div>\n\n\n\n

Immigration laws may apply differently in each case, and states may have varying rules and regulations. Still, knowing your rights under this law is essential regardless of your immigration status.<\/p>\n
