U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement and the Oklahoma Highway Patrol in a late-September operation arrested 120 illegal immigrants, including 91 who were operating a commercial vehicle with the required license.
ICE and OHP carried out an operation from Sept. 22 to 25 along I-40 in western Oklahoma to disrupt criminal activity and threats to public safety, the federal agency announced Tuesday.
During the operation, OHP made roughly 520 contacts, and ICE assisted by running records checks on foreign-born nationals that the state police encountered while performing normal patrol duties.
Twenty-seven of those arrested during routine traffic stops were in passenger vehicles, and two were arrested from a nearby marijuana grow operation.
