Meet Kufi "Jeff" Asare.

Kufi Asare is not a U.S. citizen.

Kufi Asare keeps getting arrested for committing crime.

For some reason, Kufi Asare is still in America.

Kufi Asare also keeps getting released from jail, including by this woman:

Cindy Truong has been celebrated as a historic Asian American politician since being appointed to the bench in 2010. She is the current district judge for Oklahoma Judicial District 7.

Having fled leftwing ideology that consumed Vietnam in the '70s, Truong seems to have made it her goal to import that ideology into the United States. In 2021, the media celebrated that Truong blocked two of five new pro-life laws in the state.

She also has a long and proven record of releasing violent criminals. In 2024, a woman directly blamed Truong for releasing a career criminal who went on to rape her while she was driving him for Lyft.

From The Oklahoman:

District Judge Cindy Truong set the man free on a so-called TEEM bond on Feb. 12 even though he admitted to illegally possessing a gun for the third time in the last three years, court records show. The man, Andre Hunter, 20, was also awaiting sentencing on a 2023 drug charge. Police have identified him as a member of the 456 Piru street gang.

Prosecutors allege he kidnapped, sexually assaulted and robbed the female Lyft driver April 18.

Andre Hunter got life in prison after the assault. Judge Truong was not the presiding judge.

Andre Hunter

Instead of sending Andre Hunter or Kufi Asare to jail for their multiple violent crimes, Truong sent them to a local nonprofit with the Orwellian name "The Education and Employment Ministry," or TEEM.

For context: Liberal philosophy teaches that people are naturally good, meaning crime must be caused by something bad that happens to people, not the badness of their own hearts.

Judge Truong seems to be a true believer in the idea that violent rapists can be reformed if you simply give them opportunities for gainful employment.

The former prosecutor [Truong] has become known for her willingness to release inmates on their own recognizance or on TEEM bonds while they await trial. She regularly goes to the jail on weekends to let inmates out.

Kufi Asare was one such inmate, having been released by Truong sometime before August 2026 (he had also received an immigration warning in April).

Asare was then arrested three times in August for sexually assaulting women, but each time, he was turned loose despite being a foreign citizen and a proven danger to the community.

From KOCO News:

On Aug. 1, near Northwest 23rd Street and Classen Boulevard, police responded to a possible rape. Asare allegedly pushed a woman against a bus stop window and put his hands down her pants.

Another woman told police that Asare came up behind her while she was walking on Classen Boulevard, pulled her pants down, and fled after she pushed him away. He was arrested for sexual battery and indecent exposure.

Five days later, near Scissortail Park, Asare allegedly walked up behind a woman, grabbed her buttocks multiple times, and began digging in his pants. When the woman asked him to leave, he walked away. Police later spotted him and arrested him for sexual battery.

Six days after that, on Wednesday, Asare allegedly approached a woman from behind on the Lake Hefner Trail, pulled her down, and attempted to rape her. Firefighters intervened and called police.

Would have never happened if he had been in jail and/or deported!

Bond has been set at $75,000 and prosecutors are desperately trying to keep him in custody. It is unknown if Cindy Truong will try to set him free again.
