Suspect in terror plan wasn’t part of OKC charity’s refugee program
SUMMARY: Catholic Charities confirmed that Nasir Ahmad Tawhidi, arrested for plotting a terrorist attack for ISIS, was not part of their resettlement program. They clarified that they do not vet refugees, leaving that task to Homeland Security. Tawhidi arrived in the U.S. on a special work visa from Dallas, not through Catholic Charities, which resettled Afghan refugees in Oklahoma after Kabul’s fall. The organization emphasized that all families they help are rigorously vetted by federal authorities and urged the public not to generalize based on this incident. They remain committed to supporting refugee families in their communities.

Mother's teen son stabbed in Norman by man
SUMMARY: A metro mother, Christina Pen, recounts the terrifying incident when her 16-year-old son was stabbed by a homeless man in Norman on September 27. Her son was hanging out with a friend when they encountered the homeless individual, whose demeanor changed after smoking what he believed to be meth. The situation escalated, leading to a chase and the boy’s eventual fall, resulting in stab wounds to his right thigh and hand. The suspect, 41-year-old David Johnson, was arrested the same night.

How did man arrested on plan to commit terrorist attack make it to Oklahoma?
SUMMARY: Evan discusses the case of Nasir Ahmad Tahiti, who arrived in the U.S. in September 2021 on a special immigration visa amid ongoing immigration proceedings. After his arrest for an alleged plot related to Election Day, local attorneys clarified that while Tahiti was on parole and had some rights, he was not a legal citizen, thereby unable to vote or serve on juries. The Justice Department highlighted that this situation is extremely rare among the tens of thousands of evacuees since 2021. Afghan legal networks emphasize that one individual’s actions shouldn’t overshadow the sacrifices of many Afghans seeking safety.

ODMHSAS 'fires' AG Gentner Drummond in competency wait times lawsuit
SUMMARY: Oklahoma leaders oppose a proposed $100 million settlement by Attorney General Drummond to address the backlog of inmates awaiting competency care. The Commissioner of the Oklahoma Department of Mental Health, a defendant in the case, insists that the AG initiated the settlement without her consent, threatening to resign over it. She argues it violates her ethical obligations by ceasing treatment in most counties. A board disapproved the settlement without the AG’s presence, who claimed he cannot be fired, insisting the state will face significant costs without action. A federal judge has scheduled a hearing for final approval on January 15th.
