Oklahoma Republican Gov. Kevin Stitt says his state is creating a plan to deport criminal illegal immigrants who are in custody in state prisons, in a boost to President-elect Trump’s proposal to conduct a mass deportation operation next year.
Stitt announced that he is directing the state’s commissioner of public safety to lead the effort to expel inmates in Oklahoma prisons who are in the country illegally, by creating a plan to deal with them. That plan will be delivered by January, and the state says it will consult with the Trump transition team and incoming administration to implement it.
Stitt downplayed the complexity of the effort, saying it was "common sense and restoring Oklahoma to the rule of law," while speaking to Fox News Digital.
"So these are people that are here illegally, that have committed crimes, and we want to make sure that they're not burdensome to the taxpayers of the state of Oklahoma," he said.
The state says there are more than 500 criminal illegal immigrants in Oklahoma’s correctional facilities, and it costs taxpayers $36,000 a day to house them.
Trump has promised to launch the operation next year, sparking opposition from some Democrats in "sanctuary" jurisdictions and elsewhere. His incoming border czar, Tom Homan, has said the priority will be public safety and national security threats, but no one is off the table.
Stitt said he is surprised by the opposition from some Democrats, given the focus is on removing criminals from the country.

And this is just getting started. It will really take off after Jan. 20th.
Boom.
OK’s OK is quite OK.
Nothing will change until the border is SECURE! They’ll keep coming back.
Interstate 35 runs right through OK. That is the heartline for running illegals through the US.
Maybe some checkpoints at state lines and blocking entry for illegals may be in order. Sounds a bit strong handed, but these democRATS are trying to destroy this country and turn it into 1984 (the book for you unread bastards).
Send every one of them back. This country is for Americans, and is not a safe haven for illegal ALIENS!
Homan will close the border...if he has to stand there himself.
If they are here illegally they have committed a crime. This is not rocket science.
All they needed was to be unified.
The democrats are so good at shooting down individual efforts to do what’s right, that people didn’t bother trying. But dems were unified.
We need to push back and push back hard now.
Hopefully more politicians will grow a pair.
So the only trouble is we get deportations numbers up OR they end up in Democrat states.
They are in Oklahoma jails now, they will not be going to democrat states.
Oklahoma will save a lot of money.
Thank you!
Oklahoma.
In Oklahoma, I-35 runs from the Red River at the Texas border to the Kansas state line near Braman. It passes through or adjacent to many of the state’s major cities. From south to north, these cities include Ardmore, Pauls Valley, Purcell, Norman, Moore, Oklahoma City, and Edmond.
AI got INVADERS wrong.
Good to know.
Round 'em up, move 'em out... Trump and Homan are already winning and they're not even if office yet. And thanks for the help Gov. Kevin Stitt... We can do this.
It would be nice if he could throw out a bunch of the illegal Chinese pot growers while he’s at it.
