Targeted immigration enforcement operations are taking place in Oklahoma, as part of a nationwide trend. The Oklahoma City FBI office has been assisting Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) operations under a directive from the Department of Justice for the past few weeks. While exact numbers of operations assisted by the FBI have not been provided, the focus appears to be on undocumented individuals with a criminal history.
President Trump’s executive orders targeting immigration have led to a new wave of enforcement operations, including Operation Guardian in Oklahoma, aimed at deporting undocumented individuals in the state’s prisons and correctional system. Trump has emphasized the importance of legal immigration processes.
Catholic Charities of the Archdiocese of Oklahoma City continues to provide immigration legal services for those in need, emphasizing compliance with U.S. immigration law. Executive director Patrick Raglow stated that the organization has not changed its operations and remains committed to serving the community while upholding the law.
ICE has not yet released specific statistics on the number of arrests in Oklahoma or the frequency of operations in recent weeks. Overall, the enforcement actions in Oklahoma have not appeared out of the ordinary, according to a member of the state’s Legislative Hispanic Caucus. The church, represented by Catholic Charities, stands with vulnerable populations but does not condone illegal activity and operates within the boundaries of U.S. immigration law.
