Governor Kevin Stitt this week issued an executive order directing the Oklahoma Department of Public Safety and the Oklahoma Office of Homeland Security to assess whether the Muslim Brotherhood, the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), or individuals and entities acting on their behalf present a terrorism or public-safety threat in Oklahoma.

“Oklahomans expect their government to take terrorism seriously and to act before threats become tragedies,” said Governor Stitt. “My administration will use every lawful tool available to protect our people, defend our values, and make sure taxpayer-funded state resources are never used to support terrorism or those who enable it.”
