State Rep. Justin Humphrey has since apologized for zeroing in on Hispanic people and plans to change the language in the bill.
An Oklahoma bill has stirred controversy in the state Legislature for seeking to label Hispanic people who are gang members as terrorists. No other racial or ethnic group is singled out in the legislation.
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.”
Humphrey told NBC News that the bill was meant to focus on “those people who are here illegally and who are coming across the border and trying to do harm to America and to Oklahoma.”
ANYBODY who pushes that white-gangs “aren’t” terrorists, while nonwhite gangs “are” terrorist,
is themself protecting terrorism ( of the white gangs ).
I don’t care of the gang in question is in the appearance of an “institution” or not.
Gangs exist to rule their subjects, not to hold-to objectivity or humanitarian-values.
Pick a side.

The problem is if you include white folks when you outline what the definition of a gang looks like, you accidentally find overlap with people who may be in the police force.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
An Oklahoma bill has stirred controversy in the state Legislature for seeking to label Hispanic people who are gang members as terrorists.
Humphrey has since apologized for zeroing in on Hispanic people and plans to change the language in the bill to “undocumented.”
Humphrey told NBC News that the bill was meant to focus on “those people who are here illegally and who are coming across the border and trying to do harm to America and to Oklahoma.”
He added that its intended targets are cartel members bringing fentanyl and other illicit drugs into the United States through the southern border.
Humphrey has also said that “Chinese nationals” are contributing to the fentanyl crisis, but did not explicitly mention that group in the bill.
State Sen. Michael Brooks, a Democrat and chair of the Legislative Latino Caucus, told KFOR, NBC’s Oklahoma affiliate, that the bill is unlikely to pass.
