Oklahoma Governor Kevin Stitt has declared that he will actively assist President-elect Donald Trump in deporting illegal immigrants in the state.
In an interview with Fox News, Stitt revealed that he had already appointed Public Safety Commissioner Tim Tipton to create a plan for deporting criminal illegal immigrants. The initiative, which Stitt characterized as both fiscally prudent and focused on public safety, is slated for completion in January and will be developed in coordination with Trump and his transition team. The governor stressed that the plan is a logical step to restore “the rule of law” in the state. (Related: Texas offering Trump 1,400 acres to construct “mass deportation” camp to process illegals.)
“We want to be ready Day 1 in office when President Trump takes office. I put our commissioner of public safety in charge and I said, ‘Listen, everybody that’s in our prisons that are here illegally, that are breaking our laws, we believe in public safety,'” Stitt said.
According to Stitt, state records indicate that more than 500 criminal illegal immigrants are housed in correctional facilities in Oklahoma, costing $36,000 daily. He also noted a staggering 500 percent rise in fentanyl-related deaths during his tenure, even though Oklahoma is not a border state. Additionally, Stitt referenced a foiled Election Day terror plot involving a suspect residing in Oklahoma as a clear indicator of the state’s vulnerability to national security threats.
The governor promised that his initiative would align with Trump’s – to prioritize the deportation of individuals posing public safety or national security risks.
“We want to protect the citizens of Oklahoma and we want to be ready to get them out of our state and out of our country before you see another one of the issues that affected Georgia with the Laken Riley case,” he added.
Stitt’s statements contradict the stance of Democratic governors in other states.
Earlier this month, Massachusetts Gov. Maura Healey told Lawrence O’Donnell of MSNBC that their law enforcement would not assist Trump in his mass deportation plan.
“No, absolutely not,” Healey said on Nov. 6. “But let me say this: I do think it’s important that we all recognize that there’s going to be a lot of pressure on states and state officials, and I can assure you, we’re going to work really hard to deliver.”
Meanwhile, Arizona Gov. Katie Hobbs pledged to collaborate with Trump on border security but made it clear that she would not “tolerate terrorizing communities.”
During a visit to the border in Nogales on Nov. 18, Hobbs reaffirmed her intent to collaborate with the incoming Trump administration on policies that benefit Arizonans but pledged resistance to harmful measures, such as mass deportations.
“I will not tolerate misguided policies that don’t actually help with the critical work that’s happening here, that you’re seeing here today, that actually keeps our communities safe and secure,” Hobbs said. “I will not tolerate terrorizing communities or threatening Arizonans.”
