US Citizen dragged out of home half-Naked, detained by ICE before being released

[Meister]

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.

Along with "that man" was two wanted illegals.
Try to embrace the "whole story" not just what your masters feed you.

 

[Rawley]

This is what you guys are cheering on. A US citizen, whose family fought for this country during the Vietnam War, being treated like this. Just remember, ICE gets upset when you call them Nazis.

 

[Rawley]

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.

Kicking in doors huh? Dragging him out huh? The "agencies" told them to go **** themselves to "GET THE **** OUT"

 

[JoeB131]

Along with "that man" was two wanted illegals.
Try to embrace the "whole story" not just what your masters feed you.

Who didn't live at that house, who weren't registered sex offenders, despite what DHS is now claiming.

Seems you are swallowing a "Whole Story", all right.

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

abcnews.go.com

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.

In the unlikely event this story is real, it sounds like some Democrat SWAT'd him and stood by with a camera to record it. No doubt told them that he was an illegal alien with a house full of weapos so the response would be so forceful.

Right, every story you don't like is fake.

The reason why there were people around to record is is that tens of thousands of citizens are monitoring the illegal activities of the ICEstapo.

 

[Seymour Flops]

Right, every story you don't like is fake.

If it is as flimsily sourced as this one, yes.

Too much horrible journalism going on for me to swallow every story.

The reason why there were people around to record is is that tens of thousands of citizens are monitoring the illegal activities of the ICEstapo.

And you believe none of them would call in a fake report in order to get footage?

Not one?

Stop believing the media's lies.

Right. By "Horrible Journalism" you mean, "Doesn't kowtow to Trump or try to pretend he isn't crazy."

If anything, the media downplays the level of crazy from Trump.

And you believe none of them would call in a fake report in order to get footage?

Not one?

No, not really. But let's say they did. Wouldn't ICE be playing that tape to say, "See, they told us Yuan Hung-Lo Hu Flung-Pu weres hanging out at that house, and that's why we went after them."

The ICEstapo did release the names of two supposed "pedophiles" they were looking for.

Neither one of them is a registered sex offender in MN.
Neither one of them is addressed at that house.

Stop believing the media's lies.

I'd believe the media before I believe Gestapo Barbie.

No, the DOJ would be looking for the SWATers to prosecute them, and would not want to compromise that effort. The Trump administration has long since stopped worrying about "proving" things to a media that will like anyway.

That's what Iove about them almost as much as I love how tightly they shut down the border after the bi-partisan claims that it was impossible without the Dems' and RINO's Five Thousand Illegals Per Day and then we Might Slow it Down Plan.

Does MN even require sex offenders to register?

They had information and they acted on it. Should they simply ignore information about illegal immigrant pedophiles because they could make a mistake?

I'd believe the media before I believe Gestapo Barbie.

Then enjoy being lied to.

Or they realize that it would make them look even more foolish. Kind of how they tried to put Ross's phone video out there, and must made him look more guilty.

That's what Iove about them almost as much as I love how tightly they shut down the border after the bi-partisan claims that it was impossible without the Dems' and RINO's Five Thousand Illegals Per Day and then we Might Slow it Down Plan.

Except border encounters were sharply declining all through 2024 with no help from Trump, so that argument won't fly.

The problem was never really the border. Most undocumented people came in through legal visas they overstay.

Does MN even require sex offenders to register?

Yes.

Nope, that would be your side. You believe anything Trump says.

They had information and they acted on it. Should they simply ignore information about illegal immigrant pedophiles because they could make a mistake?

Um, yeah, if you don't know if the intelligence is good or not. You do an investigation. You put the house under survelience to see if these guys are actually living there.

I don't think they had any information, this was just picking a foreign sounding name out a phone book and busting the first slanty-eyed person they could find.

 

[yidnar]

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

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

the Dems are in full rebellion .. shades of the Dems in the 1860s .. history repeats itself ..

 

[Hollie]

Right, every story you don't like is fake.

We are we at this point, why? Because the pretend president corpse you worship ignored the Constitution and imported millions of criminal rapists, murderers and lowlifes who the democrats are protecting.

If it's about the people Biden supposedly imported, why are all the people Trump is going after people who've been here since the last century?

This guy is a citizen, and he's been here since the 1980s.

Shut up, Chatbot...

Typical cowardly retreat, GPT Chatbot,

Now you're just lying. Ross's video showed that idiot driver her car right at Ross and hit him with it.

But that's not a bad outcome, especially considering the previous Administration coordinated an invasion force the size of Patton's Third Army entering the county EVERY MONTH.

And I'll never tire of repeating this: Trump should have gone after the architects and funders of the Invasion in the first round

 

[JoeB131]

Now you're just lying. Ross's video showed that idiot driver her car right at Ross and hit him with it.

Ross Video shows him walking in front of the car, trying to intimidate these two women. Oh, yean, and saying "******* *****" when he shot her.

"sharply declining?" From what to what, with link please.

I usually don't do links, because you wingnuts never read them.

How many illegal crossings are attempted at the US-Mexico border each month? | USAFacts

About 6.1K attempted crossings were detected in January 2026, 79.1% fewer than January 2025. These attempted crossings, sometimes referred to as “encounters,” are instances when the US Border Patrol (USBP) apprehended or expelled someone attempting to illegally cross into the US between official...

usafacts.org

But the number declined from a high point of 249K a month in Dec 2023 to 29K a month in January 2025. Trump didn't do jack shit.

You believe anything bad about Trump, no matter how absurd.

More like, no matter how low I think Cheeto Hitler can go in his racism and insanity, every day he goes a little bit lower in his crazy.

At least in his first term, he had grown-ups to keep him in line

Oh, yeah. With the Renee Goods of Minnesota honking their horns and trying to run over law enforcement.

Well, if you sit outside the house in full gestapo gear, yeah, everyone is going to notice you.

If you sit outside in an unmarked car or van, you can tell who actually lives there.

But this is about terrorizing the darkies, not actually capturing anyone. They only make claims of "We were after a sex offender!" when they get caught doing something they shouldn't be doing.

You're not that stupid, Joe.

But Trump's policies are. Same question I asked Chatbot. If this is about the people Biden let in, why is the ICEStapo going after people who have been here since the 1970s?
