I am writing to express my deep outrage and heartbreak over the recent federal raid in Oklahoma City, where ICE agents and other federal officers raided the wrong home, terrorizing an innocent American family. According to multiple reports, including KFOR, officers forced a mother and her three young daughters out onto their lawn in their underwear, ransacked their home, seized personal belongings including phones, laptops, and cash—and left them with nothing, not even a way to call for help.
This family had no connection to the individuals named in the warrant. They are U.S. citizens who had just moved to the area from Maryland. The actions of the agents involved in this botched operation were not only incompetent—they were cruel, traumatizing, and unacceptable in a country that claims to value civil liberties.
Marisa, the mother, begged agents for basic dignity, telling them repeatedly that they were citizens and not criminals. She was dismissed, humiliated, and denied any form of recourse. No explanation. No apology. No accountability.
This is not law enforcement. This is state-sponsored trauma inflicted by an administration increasingly defined by authoritarianism, carelessness, and cruelty. This is not how a just government behaves.
I urge you to:
• Demand a full investigation into this incident;
• Push for public accountability for every agency and officer involved;
• Pass legislation that strengthens oversight of federal enforcement actions and prevents such civil rights violations from recurring.
No American family should fear being treated like criminals in their own home by their own government.
Thank you for your attention to this urgent and horrifying matter. I look forward to your response and your leadership.
