Officials in Oklahoma have entered into a wide-ranging partnership with United States Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) to remove hundreds of criminal illegal aliens from state jails and deport them back to their home countries.
Gov. Kevin Stitt (R-OK) has been working on plans to deport as many as 500 illegal aliens who have been convicted of crimes in the Sooner State and are currently serving prison sentences.
Recently, ICE touted its relationship with Oklahoma in a message on X.
“Oklahoma does not have any sanctuary cities and is undertaking an initiative to send criminal aliens from jails and prisons directly to ICE,” the agency wrote on August 15. “All states could follow suit, eliminating the risks of criminal alien recidivism after incarceration.”
