Rep. Josh Brecheen pointed to recent arrests in Oklahoma as he addressed concerns about criminal activity involving illegal aliens, urging constituents to review Department of Homeland Security data for their own communities.
“I want to start with a display over my shoulders. And this is something that is not specific only to Oklahoma. This is something that every member of this committee, if you will, go to the DHS website, every constituent of every member of Congress, if you’re curious of really the dark days. I want you to go to the DHS website, and I want you to look at those not far from where you live, moms and dads the arrest of illegal aliens who are preying on minors just because of a really intentional act by Kate Bryant on my staff, to go a couple of weeks ago and look just in eastern Oklahoma, on the right side of me here, just in eastern Oklahoma, I represent almost all the entirety of eastern Oklahoma,” Brecheen said.
He said the display included individuals accused of crimes involving minors.

“These are just the individuals heinous acts, to include those with children. And yet, I want to read you in a wider to my left over here, what is happening in the state of Oklahoma,” he said.
Brecheen listed several names and charges.
“This person was picked up. Angel Nick, sexual exploitation of a minor. Ritten Andrew, molestation of a minor. Chan Truding Child, fondling. Liasono Garcia, enticement of a minor. Caetano Lopez, statutory rape. Rasmo Avila, rape and lewd acts with a minor.”
He then referenced broader immigration concerns.

“So for everyone who is in short term memory, it’s way things operate. In the court of public opinion, everyone is looking and you’re forgetting the conversations you were having two and three years ago. If you had teenage kiddos wanting to go outside of your home and you knew that they were going to go to Dallas, Texas or some city, and you knew that you had to have a conversation with them, with what was happening. The 15 million you knew were in the country illegally, that you had no idea what they would be doing. Who would they be preying upon?” Brecheen said.
“And moms and dads. Don’t you feel just a little bit safer, if we’re going to be gut level honest, that’s the realization of what the generational opportunity this administration has afforded this country. It’s the ability to feel safe over the madness of opening the border for that four year period that allowed 15 million people you don’t know where they came from, you don’t know their background, you don’t know their history,” he continued.
Brecheen said current efforts are focused on restoring law and order.
“And this that is occurring right now is designed to make sure we have law and order in this country. If you do not have law and order, you don’t have prosperity,” he said.
He also addressed criticism of law enforcement.
“So to to all those who are second guessing the reactionary moments, to the law enforcement who have to respond in real time, the quarterback whose questions Monday is questioned Monday morning because he’s facing the 300 pound defensive lineman. It’s easy to do that, but law enforcement walks out of their home every day and is faced with life or death questions, and we have to understand they are the ones who are affording us the opportunity for our children to feel safe against these that are in your backyard.”
Brecheen emphasized that the issue is not confined to one region. “It’s not just in the north. It’s not just in in Minneapolis. It’s not just in Minnesota, they’re in every state in the country,” he said.
He urged constituents to research arrests in their own communities.
“Go to the Department of Homeland Security website and Google your area and look at who’s being picked up in your backyard. That’s how we recenter this conversation to truth. I want your children protected.”
