Governor Kevin Stitt released the following statement after the Department of Justice announced charges against an Afghan national living in Oklahoma City for conspiring to commit a terrorist attack on Election Day. 

“I want to extend my deepest gratitude to our investigators and law enforcement officers for successfully uncovering and stopping this terrorist plot before innocent lives were put in danger. This is a powerful example of how the information-sharing measures we implemented between local, state, and federal law enforcement agencies are making a real difference.

“Those who seek to harm our nation, threaten our freedoms, and disrupt our way of life will be held accountable and face the full force of the law.”
