Clawed frogs are illegal in California, Arizona, and a few other states with invasive animal policies. They are legal in most states, though, and are common in the aquarium trade.
They are known to have become established in California and Arizona (bringing on the laws). Studies have shown that the frogs really aren't much of a threat to native frog larvae or fishes (which was the main concern), but there is still some concern. There was an article noting that the populations were declining, but I don't know the current status of the introduced populations.
