Decades-Long Deception: Oklahoma Human Trafficking Suspect Arrested After Allegedly Evading Deportation with Fake ID

In Oklahoma, a suspected human trafficker, Feng Jiang, wanted by authorities, successfully evaded deportation for decades using a false identity, as revealed on Friday. Jiang was apprehended in New York City on October 24 due to an outstanding warrant related to a human trafficking investigation by the Oklahoma Bureau of Narcotics (OBN). 

It was later discovered that he had been concealing his true identity with a fake name and birth date for more than 20 years.

Following his extradition to Oklahoma this month, Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) conducted a fingerprint analysis, exposing Jiang's real identity as Le Feng Jaing. The analysis disclosed that he received a Final Order of Deportation in 2001 and currently holds an active Deportation warrant, according to OBN Director Donnie Anderson.

Jiang came under suspicion when OBN initiated an investigation into an alleged sex trafficking operation at a residential brothel in northwest Oklahoma City in October 2022. Surveillance revealed that around a dozen women were trafficked at the location between October 2022 and February 2023. 

OBN identified Jiang and another man, Jian Lin, as the operators of the brothel, with evidence indicating that the clientele mainly comprised managers and administrators of commercial marijuana farms.

Accused of persistently trafficking women in Oklahoma while residing in New York until October 2023, Jiang and Lin faced indictment on two counts of human trafficking in September. Lin, additionally, faces charges in Canadian County related to the distribution of the drug ketamine.

Despite Jiang's recent arrest in New York City, Lin remains a fugitive with multiple outstanding warrants in Oklahoma. Recent sightings of Lin in Oklahoma City have been reported, but officials have not provided further details.
