Story by Andrea Margolis • 9h
Officials from U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and the Oklahoma Highway Patrol recently arrested more than 100 illegal immigrants in a three-day crackdown.
In an Oct. 6 statement, the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) said that the operation targeted "threats to public safety along I-40 in Oklahoma." It took place between Sept. 22 and Sept. 25.
"ICE ran records checks on foreign-born nationals that OHP encountered during patrol," the DHS's statement said. "As a result, 120 illegal aliens were taken into custody for immigration violations, 91 of which were operating a commercial motor vehicle with commercial driver's licenses (CDL)."
Among the 120 suspects, past convictions included DUIs, illegal re-entry into the U.S. and money laundering, as well as human smuggling and assault.
