If immigration officers can risk their lives for America’s sovereignty, the least Republicans can do is have their backs in the left’s dishonest information war.
Donald Trump ran on a platform of mass deporting illegal aliens from the United States during the 2024 election, and as such, the voters of Oklahoma supported his efforts to do so. In fact, every single county in the Sooner State backed Trump and his policies over the open border approach of Democrat Kamala Harris.So, if Oklahoma voters have made their support for enforcing America’s immigration laws abundantly clear, why is their “Republican” governor going on legacy media to cower before the left’s latest anti-ICE info op?
The moment occurred on Sunday when Gov. Kevin Stitt appeared on CNN — which a jury found to be literally fake news. While Stitt initially discussed the recent winter storm sweeping much of the country, he was subsequently asked by State of the Union co-host Dana Bash to comment on this past weekend’s ICE-related shooting in Minneapolis, Minnesota, in which a leftist agitator was shot and killed after seemingly attempting to hinder immigration enforcement efforts.
Stitt began his response by acknowledging the “tragedy” that comes with any loss of life. He also correctly pointed out that the American people voted for Trump to reverse the Biden administration’s “disastrous” open border policies that allowed millions of foreign nationals to infringe upon American sovereignty.
But like with too many elected Republicans, Stitt couldn’t help but surrender on the issue at hand by all but voicing support for allowing some illegal immigrants to remain in the country.
“President Trump closed the border [and] promised to get violent criminals out of our country, and I think everybody agrees with that. But now Americans are asking themselves: What is the endgame? What is the solution? … What’s the goal right now? Is it to deport every single non- U.S. citizen? I don’t think that’s what Americans want,” Stitt said.
The “Republican” governor also declined to provide a definitive answer on whether he believes Trump should pull ICE out of Minnesota and regurgitated his apparent support for permitting illegals to stay in America. (It was hardly the first time the Oklahoma governor has opposed lawful efforts to deport all illegal aliens present in the United States.)

If Republicans want less chaos, they need to stop rewarding it.
37-year-old man is dead in Minneapolis after a confrontation with federal immigration officers. The details are still unfolding, but one thing is clear: this tragedy did not occur in a vacuum. It happened in an extremely hostile political environment created by Democratic officials and activists who have spent the past year encouraging opposition — including getting shot — to law enforcement.But what’s even more disturbing is that instead of forcefully condemning the behavior that led to the fatal incident, a number of self-described Republicans are rushing to signal retreat.
Oklahoma Gov. Kevin Stitt wondered on CNN whether deporting all illegal aliens is what Americans want, remarking, “I don’t think that’s what Americans want.”
Stitt added that the president “has to answer” the question whether ICE should be pulled out of Minnesota and that he needs to “bring this to conclusion.”
Alaska Sen. Lisa Murkowski said the “tragedy and chaos the country is witnessing in Minneapolis is shocking” and “should raise serious questions within the administration about the adequacy of immigration-enforcement training and the instructions officers are given on carrying out their mission.”
Former Ohio Gov. and failed presidential hopeful John Kasich said “antics in Minnesota are waking up the whole country. You see it’s bothering us, because we don’t see justice and we don’t see fairness. And somehow the administration just doesn’t want to acknowledge this and they think they can just double down on what they’re doing.”
The responses aren’t merely spineless. They are dangerous because they teach the wrong lesson.
Petti’s death, like the shooting of Renee Good, happened in an environment deliberately conditioned by Democrats for violence. Over the past year alone, ICE agents have been physically attacked, firebombed, and ambushed. An ICE facility in Los Angeles was the near victim of a firebombing attack in December. ANTIFA targeted an ICE facility in Texas in July. And in September, a man with “ANTI-ICE” inscribed bullets fatally struck an ICE vehicle, leaving two detainees dead.
Such horrific violence is the result of Democrats’ and the left having spent years — particularly the last year — insisting that immigration enforcement is immoral and implying resistance by any means necessary is justified.
House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries compared “every single ICE agent who’s engaged in this aggressive overreach” to the “1930s” — a reference to Nazi Germany. --->READ MORE HERE
