ICE-HSI, ATF Bust Tulsa Gun-Show Pipeline; 75+ Firearms Seized, Father Charged As Illegal Alien

ICE Homeland Security Investigations, ATF, and Oklahoma Highway Patrol charged a Mexican national living illegally in the U.S. and his Texas-based son after a probe found they trafficked more than 75 firearms and bulk ammunition via Tulsa-area gun shows. Agents observed alleged straw purchases and cash transactions to avoid background checks, then recovered the cache from vendor storage totes tied to a Texas pawn shop. The father faces charges for being an illegal alien in possession of firearms and ammunition; the son faces trafficking charges. Officials said the seizure likely disrupted weapons flows to criminal groups.
