On Monday, Governor Kevin Stitt announced that over 125 illegal immigrants have been apprehended under Operation Guardian along Interstate 40.
In Operation Guardian, the Oklahoma Highway Patrol works in tandem with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).
The immigrants who were taken into custody were from multiple countries, such as India, Uzbekistan, China, Russia, and Ukraine.
In a social media post, Stitt stated, “If New York wants to hand out CDLs to illegal immigrants with ‘No Name Given,’ that’s on them. The moment they cross into Oklahoma, they answer to our laws. I want to thank our troopers and ICE officials for their hard work. This is about keeping Oklahomans safe.”
