IT WAS PART OF A HUMAN SMUGGLING  INVESTIGATION.  AND THEY ALSO SAID TODAY THOSE  PEOPLE WHO WERE IN THE HOME WHEN  IT WAS RAIDED AREN'T COMPLETELY  RULED OUT AS BEING INVOLVED IN  THE SMUGGLING RING.  HOMELAND SECURITY IS SHEDDING  NEW LIGHT TONIGHT ON WHY THIS  HOME IN NORTHWEST OKLAHOMA CITY  WAS RAIDED.  IN A NEW STATEMENT, HPSCI SAYS  AGENTS SPENT LAST WEDNESDAY,  APRIL 23RD, WATCHING THIS HOME  UNDER SURVEILLANCE AND  CONFIRMING WITH UTILITY RECORDS  THAT A MEMBER OF THE LIMA LOPEZ  TRANSNATIONAL CRIMINAL  ORGANIZATION WAS STILL PAYING  THE E BILLS.  THIS IS DESPITE THE FACT THAT  NEW RESIDENTS MOVED IN.  KOCO TOLD YOU WEDNESDAY HOW  EIGHT GUATEMALAN NATIONALS WERE  ARRESTED DAYS PRIOR, BUT THE  HOUSE WAS STILL IN THE NAME OF  SILVIA MARLENY LIMA LOPEZ, WHO  WAS NAMED IN THIS INDICTMENT AS  PART OF THE LIMA LOPEZ CRIME  RING.  CHARGES FOR THE GROUP INCLUDE  CONSPIRACY, SMUGGLING AND MONEY  LAUNDERING.  WE NOW KNOW A JUDGE APPROVED AN  84 PAGE SEARCH WARRANT DETAILING  PROBABLE CAUSE THAT THE HOME  SERVED AS A STASH HOUSE FOR  HUMAN SMUGGLING.  A LOT OF QUESTIONS ONLINE CENTER  AROUND THE ITEMS TAKEN FROM THE  FAMILY IN THAT HOME.  WELL, TODAY SHE TOLD US THE  SEARCH WARRANT TARGETED THE  PROPERTY ITSELF.  SO IT ALLOWED THEM TO TAKE  ELECTRONIC DEVICES AND DOCUMENTS  REGARDLESS OF WHO WAS PRESENT.  DHS ALSO ADDED TODAY THAT THEY  HAVE NOT RULED OUT THE CURRENT  OCCUPANTS INVOLVEMENT IN THE  SMUGGLING RING.  AND I DID KNOCK ON THE DOOR OF  THAT FAMILY TO TRY TO GIVE THEM  AN OPPORTUNITY TO SHARE THEIR  SIDE.  THEY DID NOT ANSWER.  IT DIDN'T APPEAR THAT THEY WERE  HOME AT THE TIME.  BUT WE DO KNOW FROM THIS  INDICTMENT RIGHT HERE THAT THE  SMUGGLING RING IS CONNECTED TO  TRAFFICKING PEOPLE FROM ALL OVER  THE WORLD INTO DIFFERENT STATES  ACROSS"}]
