On April 29, 2025, claims (archived) began circulating that federal immigration agents had raided the wrong house in Oklahoma City, taking a family of U.S. citizens' belongings and forcing them outside while still in their underwear.

One X user screenshotted an article by KFOR, a local news channel in Oklahoma City, and wrote: "In Oklahoma City, ICE by accident, stormed into the wrong house of citizens, trashed the place, and made women/girls stand outside in the rain in their underwear. ICE also took phones, laptops, and cash savings from the family, who moved to OKC two weeks ago."
The claim also circulated on Facebook (archived), Threads (archived), Bluesky (archived) and TikTok (archived). Snopes readers wrote in and searched our site asking if the claim was true.
However, accounts of the raid differed. A U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) spokesperson told Snopes via email that only U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) carried out the raid and that its intended targets were the former residents at the address. According to KFOR, 20 federal agents from the U.S. Marshals, ICE and the FBI carried out the April 24 raid on the Oklahoma City home. DHS and KFOR reporting both said that the agents had a warrant for the address.

(72,473 posts)...how Snopes is involved or, after reading their article, what position they're taking.
The story is in question because a traumatized victim who was wrongly raided got the government agencies wrong?
This is a case where the details don't matter.
The government admits to raiding the wrong family, and it's 100% the case that ICE was involved.
I'm not sure how a fact checking service like Snopes found this worth debunking or confirming.
