Sen. Dahm releases statement following raid at Mar-a-Lago
OKLAHOMA CITY (August 10th) – State Sen. Nathan Dahm, R-Broken Arrow, released the following statement after the FBI raid of former President Trump’s home on Monday night.
“This rogue Biden regime continues to outdo itself. This weaponization of the FBI and the DOJ against former President Trump is unprecedented and should frighten those who cherish their freedoms.
“This reiterates how important it is for our state to push back on intrusion from the Feds. Last session, I introduced Senate Bill 1199, SB 1200, SB 1201, and SB 1251 that would have done just that. Unfortunately, those in leadership refuse to take federal overreach seriously and chose not to hear them.”
- SB 1199 would expand the Second Amendment Sanctuary Act passed in 2021 by allowing a mechanism for sheriffs to arrest federal officers attempting gun confiscation.
- SB 1200 would require that any federal agents or officers receive permission from the county sheriff before operating in their county.
- SB 1201 would further empower sheriffs by expanding their ability to call on the people of Oklahoma for additional support by forming a posse.
- SB 1251 would revitalize the Oklahoma militia and provide greater protection for the citizens of Oklahoma.
“It is increasingly clear that the federal government isn’t willing to protect Americans. Not only that, but federal agencies are also being weaponized against American citizens for the political whims of those in power. That is unacceptable.
“Those of us in elected office have a responsibility to defend the rights of the people. If we do nothing to check the Feds then we are abdicating our responsibility to the citizens of the state of Oklahoma. As the fighter for the rights of the people in the Oklahoma Senate, I will be introducing similar legislation in the upcoming legislative session. This time I hope Senate leadership will have the spine to see it through or get out of the way for those of us that do.”
