Ruperto, a Mexican roofing contractor who lived and worked in Oklahoma for 28 years, was stopped by Oklahoma Highway Patrol after his truck blew a tire and overturned on an interstate in Oklahoma City. Troopers, working under ICE's 287(g) program, detained him despite having insurance and deported him to Mexico. He was transported through multiple facilities, including a jail in Purcell, before deportation, and agreed to voluntary removal rather than continue fighting through the legal system. His U.S. citizen daughter Karen, a college student majoring in elementary education, has stayed in school, while her older brother left school and work to support the family and cover the mortgage and other household expenses; the family has withheld their last name for fear of further immigration action. Ruperto cannot reapply for reentry for 10 years.
