    Different source:

    The bill, written by Republican state Rep. Justin Humphrey, proposes that any person who “is of Hispanic descent living within the state of Oklahoma,” is a member of a gang and has been convicted of “gang-related offenses” would be deemed a terrorist. Humphrey has since apologized for zeroing in on Hispanic people and plans to change the language in the bill to “undocumented.”

      Thank you for posting the nuance. Still danged offensive, but not as bad as simply labelling all Hispanics as terrorists.

        The level of misinformation or cherry picking is fucking astounding.
