In May, Octavio Carreon Mota got a text from a strange number with an opportunity for work in Enid trimming trees.

Mota, a 27-year-old father with plans to get married, was eager to earn some extra money. He ran a side business doing day labor and routinely traveled to Enid from his home in Stillwater for jobs. Mota exchanged texts over the next several days with a man who said his name was Samual Davis and that he owned several rental properties in Enid.

“Can we meet at 10 o’clock at Oncue. 1005 e garriott. I have a grey ford f150. I usually park in the back so the guys can get a break in,” the man said in one message.

When Mota arrived at the gas station, Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents placed him under arrest.

Mota immigrated to the United States from Mexico with his family when he was two years old. He is a legal permanent U.S. resident with a 10-year green card

,,,

Mota was convicted on a misdemeanor charge of entering a building with unlawful intent in 2018. He was accused of breaking into a house while a friend was engaged in a dispute with a former roommate, according to court records. The same year, he also pleaded guilty to misdemeanor charges of possession of drug paraphernalia and transporting an open container. Also in 2018, Mota was convicted of misdemeanor reckless conduct with a firearm and carrying a firearm while under the influence after Mota accidentally discharged a gun in Brooks’ apartment. He admitted he was drunk when police arrived to investigate, according to court records.

So he’s a drunk, a burglar, a drug user and is guilty of assault with a deadly weapon. Gee, wonder why he lost his Green card?

Get out.

I was empathetic until the gun charge. Nope…we don’t need him here.

There are plenty of people with green cards who don’t wave firearms. They can stay.

It is legal for ICE to conduct any ruse to apprehend illegal immigrants.

How about adding possible tax evasion to that as well:

“He ran a side business doing day labor and routinely traveled to Enid from his home in Stillwater for jobs.”

Exactly.

I also liked the line about a side business as a day laborer. Did it say what his full time, legal actual job was? Not that we care.

We care that he was caught and is deported.
