Oklahoma Family Says ICE Agents Raided Wrong Home, Took Their Belongings. What We Know
A federal raid on a northwest Oklahoma City home is under scrutiny after a family said agents targeted the wrong address. The residents, who had recently moved from Maryland, claim they have no ties to the names listed on the warrant.
A woman who recently moved to Oklahoma City with her three daughters says federal agents raided her home by mistake, seizing their phones, laptops, and cash savings, despite her family's name not being on the search warrant.
The woman, referred to as Marisa by KFOR News 4, had relocated from Maryland just two weeks before the raid. Her husband stayed back temporarily and was supposed to join them over the weekend, as per KFOR.
On Thursday morning, Marisa said around 20 armed people entered her house before sunrise. She said the group identified themselves as agents from ICE, the FBI, and US Marshals, and showed a search warrant for the property. However, the names listed on the warrant did not match anyone in her family. Marisa believes the names belong to former tenants, as the mail that is addressed to them is still being delivered to the house.
“We just moved here from Maryland,” she said. “We’re citizens. That’s what I kept saying.”
Marisa said that the agents forced her and her daughters outside in the rain before they had a chance to get dressed. “They wanted me to change in front of all of them,” she said. “You have her out there, a minor, in her underwear.”

“They were treating us like criminals,” she said. The agents searched the entire home and took their electronics and life savings in cash as “evidence,” as per the KFOR report.
“I told them before they left… we have no money,” she said. “How do you just leave me like this?”
KFOR reached out to the US Marshals Service. It said it knew about the operation but was not involved. The FBI first said it helped with the case but later claimed it wasn’t on the scene, according to KFOR.
