Internet reports that the Arkansas Crypto Mining Association is suing two Arkansas officials for enforcing an unconstitutional discriminatory state rule prohibiting foreign-born U.S. citizens from engaging in crypto mining activities. Arkansas Attorney General Tim Griffin and Arkansas Oil and Gas Commission Director Lawrence Bengal filed a lawsuit in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Arkansas on March 13. Previously, a federal court ruled in November last year, temporarily prohibiting Arkansas from preventing a naturalized Chinese American citizen from operating a cryptocurrency mining business. The relevant rules in Arkansas are Rule K and Bill 174, which prohibits foreign-controlled businesses in the state.
