In Oklahoma City Thursday, about 20 federal immigration agents raided the wrong home, forcing a woman out of the house with her three daughters, not even leaving them enough time to get dressed, and then seized their phones, laptops, and life savings.
The woman had only moved into the house two weeks earlier, after relocating to Oklahoma from Maryland. The armed agents told the woman, identified by local TV station KFOR as βMarisa,β that they had a search warrant, but the named suspects on the warrant didnβt live in the house and werenβt connected to anyone in the family.
βWe just moved here from Maryland,β Marisa said. βWeβre citizens. Thatβs what I kept saying. Weβre citizens.β
The agents, who identified themselves as U.S. marshals, Immigration and Customs Enforcement, and FBI agents, didnβt seem to care, waking the family up, forcing them outside in their underwear, ransacking the house, and taking the familyβs belongings as βevidence.β
βI told them before they left, I said you took my phone. We have no money. I just moved here,β said Marisa. βI have to feed my children. Iβm going to need gas money. I need to be able to get around. Like, how do you just leave me like this? Like an abandoned dog.β
