Sullivan Applauds Capture and Deportation of Criminal Illegal Aliens

Today, Congressman John Sullivan released the following statement regarding the arrest and deportation of 127 criminal illegal aliens from Tulsa and Oklahoma City in the past week as a part of the Department of Homeland Security's "Operation Return to Sender":

"Since elected to Congress, I have tirelessly worked to draw attention to the immigration crisis occurring in Eastern Oklahoma and throughout our entire nation. The 46 arrests made last Wednesday in Tulsa are an important step forward in dealing with the criminal illegal alien population in Eastern Oklahoma. I would like to thank the hardworking local law enforcement who assisted the officers and agents from ICE's Offices in Oklahoma City and Dallas to successfully carry out this mission. Enforcement of our interior immigration laws is a critical step toward getting a handle on the illegal immigration crisis facing the U.S."
