Thread: 15 illegal immigrants arrested near Muskogee

MUSKOGEE — Sheriff's deputies arrested 15 illegal immigrants in a traffic stop on Interstate 40 in Muskogee County, the second time a group of undocumented people were picked up in the general area this week.


The 15 people were jammed into a pickup camper that was spotted weaving Wednesday. Sunday, 16 illegal immigrants were taken into custody after the vehicle they were in was stopped for a traffic violation.

Law enforcement officers actively patrol the interstate as part of drug interdiction efforts.

Doesn't OK have a fairly strict immigration law that just took effect? If so are they actually enforcing it?

Some of it has taken effect but most of it is just on public works projects. July 1st is when the bill take effect for the private sector. As someone who does construction I sure haven't seen much of a difference so far out at the jobsites. All of the convenience stores near the additions are still inundated at lunch time with non-English speaking, rude hispanics
