'We're citizens!': Oklahoma City family traumatized after ICE raids home, but they weren't suspects

Last edited Tue Apr 29, 2025, 09:06 AM - Edit history (1)

OKLAHOMA CITY (KFOR) — A woman says her family’s fresh start in Oklahoma turned into a nightmare after federal immigration agents raided their home, taking their phones, laptops, and life savings – even though they were not the suspects the agents were looking for.

The agents had a search warrant for the home, but the suspects listed on the warrant do not live in the house.

The woman who actually lives in the house had just moved to Oklahoma City from Maryland with her family about two weeks earlier.

Republicans are all okay with it, apparently.

...taking their phones, laptops, and life savings

Now, I know a lot of people don't trust banks, and will keep cash on hand. These folks may get their computers and phones back, but something tells me that cash was already divided up by the "ICE" agents. And why do I feel like a lot of these supposed agents are nothing more than Trump's personal gestapo that he released from jail?

what they had in cash won't be what they get back if ever. Furthermore the Feds know that they can make you jump through lots of legal hoops to try and get it and they know you don't have the money for an attorney.
