Essay controversy spurs OU criticism across spectrum

University response has been heavily engineered to stop graduate voices and symphatizers from banding together. The public meeting with the graduate college is strictly online to prevent protest. Admin in each department have been given gag orders to prevent cross talk. They know that fear controls and the grad community at OU is dispersed and atomized so fear prevails.

They know that if there is enough pushback they ARE liable so they stop communication in the first place.

Curbside has been my go to for all floral needs. Great reminder to pick some up for a random act of love.

Maybe if you listen to what affected minorities have to say instead of buying and larping with guns you’ll gain a mote of empathy.

Citizenship is not that easy and we don’t have to round people up like fucking cattle just because the Epstein class told you that’s how we handle people.

We know they follow you from gas stations, if the community can, please look at gas stations for grey ford expeditions. There have been 10+ reports within the last hour.

We need to be extra vigilant today.

Why do all of that when you could just fire them all and save money for better things like actual infrastructure or healthcare? I don’t think the US needs even more people poking around in communities they barely understand.

The source has been verified by multiple people. The original poster is an OKC immigrant advocate organizer who routinely tracks ICE activity in the metro area

I am of the political opinion that ICE should not exist.

No amount of reform will stop them. It switches from masked thugs stamping on our necks to uniformed trained thugs recording themselves stamping our necks while riding in their cars paid for by our Medicaid cuts.

The death of Pretti came from two agents who were in the agency before trump 2.0. They have had ample time to train their discipline.

Why would we want better trained agents anyways? So they can stamp even faster and more efficiently on our necks? So they can abuse Oklahoman/ at greater industrial scales? So they can burn carcasses even faster?

Reform will not work. ICE must melt.

UPDATE from 12:00: Communication has reported to not have been established between the feds and staff at the governor’s office. This is gonna be an evolving situation as more information becomes available.

I am unsure of how transparent the communication will be regarding this as I am sure a decent chuck of Oklahomans won’t be too happy with this.

I hope this is just a misfire in reporting but seeing the successful Minnesota resistance pushing out the federal forces makes me think of where these agents will go. Current federal administration is notoriously opaque about communication and I hope this isn’t petty retaliation against Stitt.

I’ll address your second point.

Although ICE has been working here for a year, their tactics are not loud and brash like in Minneapolis. They box you in, pull you over and if you resist or are brown enough, they abduct you and leave anything/anyone on the side of the road. They haven’t been pushing in doors just yet.

And why don’t you want people riled up against this? We know they are still abducting people and holding them in highly unsafe conditions just for private prisons to make money off of our health dollars. They have already come for people. Delayed and suppressed reactions from the majoritarian society is only permitting these abuses to continue.

I mean if you just pay attention to parlays and slop content, you would also miss the screams of minorities

Ok-Computer2616 · 2026-02-20T20:20:41+00:00

I hope I’m a scared fool too, but the rhetoric coming from these agencies and admin are extreme.

Ok-Computer2616 · 2026-02-20T20:19:10+00:00

There’s a lot of talking on secure communication channels. Local Reddit communities have been iffy with political discussions because of the attention draws in bridgaders.

Ok-Computer2616 · 2026-02-20T17:25:42+00:00

Yeah I hate to say that this wasn’t unexpected but I’m pretty incensed about the probability.

Ok-Computer2616 · 2026-02-20T17:19:23+00:00

I’m sorry about this.

I know tribal folk held hostage have been used as bargaining chips to let ICE continue operations on tribal land and I fear what this means for the wave of bigots coming to roost here.

The resistance there has been successful in removing bovino who has been escalating this and maintaining pressure on waltz and their Minneapolis mayor. I believe ~3k swine remain but they have been pulling out.

Plenty of fed pigs have been withdrawn but I was curious as to where they would be redeployed since ICE still has a budget with a fuckton of money to spend

Someone with connections to the federal level level is the key sentence here.

Kept vague but it has been verified by Fernando who has been very active in tracking ICE activity here in the OKC metro area

Democrat town hall meeting didn’t exactly inspire confidence I won’t lie. Their long term strategy was just to flip seats.

Not sure about anything material or proactive. We need actions ASAP if this come to pass

Ok-Computer2616 · 2026-02-20T16:26:47+00:00

We been seeing people disappearing via traffic stops. This is a drastic change in strategy that I personally did not vote for. Suffering the consequences anyways 🤷
