'We're citizens!': Family traumatized after ICE raids home, but they weren't suspects
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, the woman said, but the suspects listed on it do not live there.
Las Vegas ice cream truck mistaken for ICE vehicle: ‘I’m an ice cream man, that’s it’The woman, whom Nexstar's KFOR will refer to as “Marisa," had just moved to Oklahoma City from Maryland with her family about two weeks earlier. They rented a house in a seemingly safe neighborhood, looking for a slower, more affordable pace of life.
"Marisa" told Nexstar's KFOR that she endured a terrifying ordeal on Thursday morning when federal agents raided her home and seized her belongings, despite not being the suspect the agents were looking for. (KFOR)“I was like, 'OK, Oklahoma’s my home now,'” Marisa said.
But any sense of comfort they began to feel in Oklahoma City disappeared Thursday morning, when about 20 men, armed with guns, busted through the door.
“I don’t know who they were,” Marisa told KFOR through tears. “It was dark. All the lights were off.”
