OKLAHOMA CITY (RNS) Workers began digging out the Ten Commandments monument that has been on Oklahoma’s Capitol grounds since 2012 this week, well ahead of the court-ordered removal date of October 12.

John Estus, a spokesman for the Office of Management and Enterprise Services, said the decision to do the work after dark was based on public safety and security.
