Voters arriving at the Church of the Open Arms in Oklahoma City on Election Day were met with anti-ICE materials displayed inside the building and multiple pride and transgender pride flags flying outside, according to photos and details posted by Libs of TikTok.
The images show handmade signs inside the church lobby reading “ICE OUT NOW,” along with other messages referencing immigrants and “bye bye ICE,” while the outside of the building featured several rainbow and progress flags.
Libs of TikTok tagged the Department of Justice and asked whether the display violated election laws.
SCOOP: Polling location at the Church of the Open Arms in Oklahoma City is promoting ANTI-ICE propaganda inside.
The outside of the building is covered in g*nital mutilation flags.

The Church of the Open Arms is a progressive United Church of Christ congregation that describes itself as an “open and affirming” church for the LGBTQ community.
Its own website lists “Voting in the Lobby” as an event beginning at 7 a.m. on November 3, confirming it is serving as an official polling place for Oklahoma County voters.
The church also regularly hosts “Vigil for Immigration Justice” events.
Oklahoma law prohibits electioneering within 300 feet of a polling place entrance and bars the public placement or exposure of any printed material other than that provided by the election board within that same distance while voting is underway.
Under 26 O.S. § 7-108, electioneering includes advocating for or against candidates or ballot questions through visual materials, signs, or other communications.
As of early afternoon on Election Day, neither the Oklahoma County Election Board nor the State Election Board had issued a public statement addressing the materials at this location.
The Department of Justice has not responded to the question about potential law violations.
