Drudge Retort: The Other Side of the News
Tuesday, January 20, 2026

More than a dozen ICE agents broke into the home of a US Citizen, Scott Thao, without a warrant or even explanation. They then forced Thao outside into the cold and snow while he was wearing nothing but his underwear and sandals. They held him at gunpoint and had no interest in seeing his ID. They then drove him "to the middle of nowhere" and again made him stand in the freezing cold Minnesota weather in his underwear while they photographed. After some more time passed they returned him to his home without apology or explanation.

DHS later told AP that they were looking for two sex offenders who live with Thao. There are no registered sex offenders living at Thao's address nor any particularly close to him according to the Minnesota registry. DHS refused to provide the identities of the two offenders so they are either lying or they are allowing convicted sex offenders to secretly live amongst the people of America.

This was a completely unprofessional and over-the-top raid with agents mounting suppressors on their assault rifles.

Any decent Agent-in-Charge (AIC) or Site Commander in normal times would have been mortified that his SWAT team came up empty-handed after all the expenditure of manpower and money, and worse, that they detained an innocent person and made him suffer with humiliation and freezing temperatures.

ICE is spreading terror and PTSD throughout the population of Amerikkka.
