Democrats have been pushing a series of lies about its recent actions in Oklahoma, but ICE has shot back with a post on X with a straight forward response: “WRONG!”
Democrats are claiming that Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) wrongly raided an innocent American family at the wrong address and terrorized them.
But ICE notes that all these claims that they raided the wrong home is simply untrue.
The claims are false, ICE says:
Wrong.
The April 24 Oklahoma ICE operation was a lawful, court-authorized action explicitly targeting a property, that was a hub for human smuggling, not specific individuals, as falsely suggested by media reports.
The day prior to the search warrant issuance and the day of the search warrant, HSI agents
conducted surveillance, and confirmed via utility records that a member of the Lima Lopez Transnational Criminal Organization was still paying utilities at the residence. The warrant, issued by a Federal Judge was based on an 84-page affidavit detailing probable cause that the address served as a “stash house” for human smuggling, authorizing the seizure of evidence such as electronic devices and documents, regardless of who was present.The warrant targeted the property itself, not specific individuals, and its execution was not contingent on the presence of any person. HSI, with Oklahoma state police support, executed the warrant with precision, seizing electronic devices as authorized.
This court-authorized search was a critical strike against a dangerous human smuggling network in furtherance of our mission to protect American communities from the chaos unleashed by the Biden administration’s open-border policies. This is an ongoing investigation, and we have not ruled out current occupants involvement in the smuggling ring.
Wrong.
