US citizen says ICE removed him from his Minnesota home in his underwear after warrantless search

Federal immigration agents have detained a U.S. citizen in Minnesota at gunpoint without a warrant

Federal immigration agents forced open a door and detained a U.S. citizen in his Minnesota home at gunpoint without a warrant, then led him out onto the streets in his underwear in subfreezing conditions, according to his family and videos reviewed by The Associated Press.

ChongLy “Scott” Thao told the AP that his daughter-in-law woke him up from a nap Sunday afternoon and said that U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents were banging at the door of his residence in St. Paul. He told her not to open it. Masked agents then forced their way in and pointed guns at the family, yelling at them, Thao recalled.

“I was shaking," he said. “They didn't show any warrant; they just broke down the door."

Thao, who has been a U.S. citizen for decades, said that as he was being detained he asked his daughter-in-law to find his identification but the agents told him they didn’t want to see it.

Instead, as his 4-year-old grandson watched and cried, Thao was led out in handcuffs wearing only sandals and underwear with just a blanket wrapped around his shoulders.

Videos captured the scene, which included people blowing whistles and horns and neighbors screaming at the more than a dozen gun-toting agents to leave Thao's family alone.

Thao said agents drove him “to the middle of nowhere" and made him get out of the car in the frigid weather so they could photograph him. He said he feared they would beat him. He was asked for his ID, which agents earlier prevented him from retrieving.

Agents eventually realized that he was a U.S. citizen with no criminal record, Thao said, and an hour or two later, they brought him back to his house. There they made him show his ID and then left without apologizing for detaining him or breaking his door, Thao said.

You wouldn't give a crap if an ICE agent was hit in the head with a brick and put into a coma, but this temporary inconvenience has you in hysterics. Such is the sad state of the TDS ravaged mind.

Yet another instance to where MAGA turds here could just say, "Yep, they made a mistake." Let me know if ANY of them just cop to it and say that ICE screwed up.

When that happens, we will let you know.

Do you actually believe this shit.

Of course, they remain at large, they are imaginary.

He matched the description? Really? What was the description, "Asian". I'm sure they all look alike to these racist thugs.

No, I wouldn't give a shit about a Nazi getting hit in the head with a brick.

But pulling a man out of his home, half naked, into freezing cold, while his family looked on in terror, um, yeah, that's more than a "temporary inconvience."

ICE needs to follow local laws if they expect cooperation.

Dragging a man out of his house because he "Looked like" the perp they were looking for just won't fly.

Yes it does. That's standard police procedure.

I order you to ***** and whine about it some more.

 

[JoeB131]

No, they need to protect their residents against illegal actions.

They violated this man's Fourth and Fifth Amendment rights.

The problem with that is that the local laws prohibit them from cooperating with ICE when they're operating under a "sanctuary/welcoming city" policy. They'll very likely have a policy that they can't even ask about for any information about your citizenship/immigrant status. So what local laws are out there that would allow cooperation with ICE agents?

 

[Meister]

Of course, you won't get the whole story from the press, just the parts they
want you to hear.

 

[JoeB131]

What whole story is here.

The man was a US citizen.
He was dragged out of his home half-naked by some ICE Thugs because they mistook him for someone else. (Apparently, a family member who used to live there had a similar name to a person they were looking for.)

Is this okay by you?

If you are having a hard time getting your head around it, imagine if this was the ATF looking for gun violations.

well, here's a crazy idea. Work with these agencies to go after the people you want, don't go randomly kicking in doors hoping you catch someone who doesn't belong here.

Grandfather Speaks Out on ICE Detaining Him in His Underwear at Home; Officials Claim They Were Hunting 2 Sex Predators

ChongLy “Scott” Thao, a U.S. citizen who was removed by ICE agents from his St. Paul, Minn., home in his underwear, is speaking out — though federal authorities maintain they were seeking two other criminal suspects at the property

people.com

The Department of Homeland Security was searching for two "convicted sex offenders," Lue Moua and Kongmeng Vang, ICE spokeswoman Tricia McLaughlin said, claiming that Thao lives with them.


Public records indicate both men have felony criminal histories but neither of them is listed in the Minnesota sex offender registry, despite ICE describing them as sex offenders.


Thao's family has strongly denied this version of events, including that Thao lives with the two ICE suspects.
