Tara Jorden de Lara is an immigration attorney based in Oklahoma City. She said there is one key component to how Trump’s mass deportation policies are playing out, whether it’s in Oklahoma or elsewhere.

“One of the most important things happening under the present administration that they're doing very successfully, I might add, is criminalizing unlawful presence, even though that's a civil system and a civil violation,” de Lara said.

“In general, unlawful presence is not a criminal violation, but they've made it so that human beings are being called illegal … just because they don't have proper documentation, whereas that's not actually a crime,” she said. “It may make you removable under our civil immigration system, but it doesn't mean that you have a criminal record.”
