When President-elect Donald Trump takes office, Oklahoma Governor Kevin Stitt wants the Commissioner of Public Safety to start getting ready for the mass deportation of illegal immigrants in Oklahoma jails.
Fox23 reported that the new Trump administration was going to start deporting a lot of people by sending those who have already been guilty of crimes and will be sent back to their home countries at the end of their sentences. This new order backs up that report.
“We will put threats to national security and public safety first,” said Tom Homan, who was recently named Trump’s Border Czar.
That is what will be the main point. It’s our job to find the more than 1.5 million guilty criminal aliens in this country who have final orders of removal. We will be looking for thousands of people who are in gangs.
According to FOX23, Stitt’s announcement revealed that there are 526 illegal immigrants in Oklahoma prisons for crimes. This costs the state about $36,000 a day.
In a news release, Stitt said, “As law and order return to the White House, Oklahoma will lead the way with a comprehensive plan to deport people who have broken the law in Oklahoma while in the country illegally.”
Commissioner Tim Tipton has been told to talk to local, county, and state police about how to deal with the fact that illegal aliens who have committed crimes are in Oklahoma.
Tipton will put together a detailed plan and hand it in by January 15, 2025. At that point, Stitt will give it to the new Secretary of Homeland Security, who will then work with Homan.
It is planned that Oklahoma will be ready to release illegal aliens from its jails when Trump takes office on January 20.
“My number one goal is to keep everyone in Oklahoma safe.” “We need everyone to work together to make sure that criminals who are here illegally don’t hurt Oklahomans,” Tipton said in a news statement.
At the moment, Oklahoma taxpayers are paying to keep illegal immigrants in jail because the Biden government won’t enforce the law. This needs to end now.
I’m excited to work with police across the state and the Department of Corrections to make sure that illegal aliens who break the law are punished severely.
According to Stitt, he was still determined to find a way for workers who want to properly improve their lives in Oklahoma to get visas.
“I am still determined to find ways to support state-based workforce visas for people who want to follow the American dream, but we will not stand for crime in our state.
I’m grateful that Commissioner Tipton is willing to work with me to make a plan for Oklahoma that other states can use as a model,” Stitt said.
When the news release said that the state was getting ready to deport a lot of illegal immigrants who haven’t done anything wrong, it didn’t say who those illegal immigrants are or say anything about families with mixed legal status, like the possibility of a child being born in the U.S. to illegal immigrant parents.
