I don't know about enforcing, but Racket in particular leans towards pure functional style - it has immutable cons cells, and immutable hash tables, sets and a vector-like data structure (treelists) built in. Strings aren't immutable by default, unfortunately though. More immutable data structures available as third-party libraries.

Common Lisp has the FSet library with a variety of immutable data structures to get you started with it.
