Oklahoma OSBI Attorney Faces Review Over Viral Anti-ICE Video as DHS Cites 1000% Assault Surge

1 articles · Updated · Fox News · Jul 13

Summary

  • Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation assistant general counsel Shannon Desherow is under review after a TikTok video showed her saying she would not comply with ICE and urging citizens to make agents' lives "miserable."
  • 99% of ICE warrants are administrative, Desherow said in the video, arguing they do not justify entering her home or car or arresting her because she is a U.S. citizen.
  • DHS responded that obstructing law enforcement is a federal crime and said ICE officers are facing a nearly 1000% increase in assaults while carrying out arrests.
  • Oklahoma Attorney General Gentner Drummond said Desherow should resign, calling ICE and other federal agencies critical partners in fighting organized crime, while OSBI said it is looking into the post.
