January 1, EXPOSED: State Attorney’s Shocking Anti-ICE Meltdown Leaves Officials Scrambling

Wyatt’s Take

• State bureau lawyer caught on tape urging Americans to obstruct federal immigration enforcement — make ICE agents’ lives ‘miserable’ was her exact message
• DHS fires back hard, reminding everyone that obstruction is a felony and assaults on ICE agents are up nearly 1000 percent
• Oklahoma Attorney General’s office calls her out by name, tells her to resign if she can’t support law enforcement partners

A staff attorney for the Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation is now under serious review after a video of her went viral, showing her declaring she’d refuse to comply with Immigration and Customs Enforcement and calling on Americans to make federal agents’ lives “miserable.”

The footage has prompted a state-level investigation and drawn a sharp response from the Department of Homeland Security.

“Conservatives really think they’re doing something when they say, ‘Just comply’ when it comes to ICE and United States citizens,” Shannon (Hoyle) Desherow said in a TikTok video that was reshared by Libs of TikTok last week on X.

On her LinkedIn page, Desherow says she currently works for the Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation as assistant general counsel. Her TikTok page has since been set on private.

“And it just shows that they really just f—ing chirp with no understanding of what they’re talking about, because why the f— would I comply with someone who has no jurisdiction over me,” she asked in the video.

“ICE has no authority and no jurisdiction over U.S. citizens. So why the f— would I comply with an order given to me at gunpoint by somebody who has no f—ing authority to make that order? I’m not going to. That’s the f—ing thing.”

Desherow, who graduated in December 2016 from the University of Central Oklahoma and received her law degree from the University of Oklahoma College of Law in 2020, continued on her rant.

“And an ICE warrant, by the way, 99% of the time, is an administrative warrant. It’s not good enough for the f—ing Fourth Amendment,” Desherow said. “It doesn’t give you access to my house, it doesn’t give you access to my car, and it certainly doesn’t give you access to f—ing arrest me. I was born here, and I’m going to make it an ICE agent’s problem. I don’t have to f—ing comply with ICE, because I was born here. And every citizen needs to have that f—ing mindset. We need to make their lives f—ing miserable, and that’s exactly what we should be doing.”

A spokesperson for the Department of Homeland Security didn’t mince words in response.

“Reminder: Obstruction of law enforcement is a federal crime and a felony. The First Amendment protects speech and peaceful assembly – not rioting.”

The spokesperson added more context that puts this whole episode in perspective.

“DHS is taking reasonable and constitutional measures to uphold the rule of law and protect our officers. ICE officers are facing a nearly 1000% increase in assaults against them as they put their lives on the line to arrest murderers, rapists, and gang members.”

In a statement, a spokesperson for Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation said the agency has “been made aware of the post and are looking into it.”

The video caught the attention of the Oklahoma Attorney General’s office, which didn’t hold back in its assessment.

Gentner Drummond’s official X account posted a direct message.

“The Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation’s Shannon Desherow does not speak for Oklahoma. Her comments attacking the credibility and mission of ICE do not reflect the values of Oklahomans or the views of the law enforcement professionals who work every day with our federal partners to keep our communities safe.”

“Anyone in Oklahoma law enforcement who feels so passionately against our federal partners should resign. Homeland Security, FBI, DEA and ICE are critical allies to Oklahoma and my office as we combat organized crime. An attack against one of them is an attack on the entire system that protects our life, liberty and pursuit of happiness.”

Wyatt Matters

When a government lawyer urges citizens to obstruct federal law enforcement, that’s not activism — that’s crossing a line most hardworking Americans won’t tolerate. ICE agents are out there doing a dangerous job, facing record levels of violence, and they deserve respect, not sabotage. Oklahoma’s Attorney General got it right: if you can’t support the men and women protecting our communities, you have no business working in law enforcement at any level.
