More than a dozen ICE agents broke into the home of a US Citizen, Scott Thao, without a warrant or even explanation.

New -- I wrote about ChongLy Scott Thao, the elderly Hmong American wrongly arrested and forced out of his home by ICE in his underwear during the punishing Minnesota winter, what witnesses saw, and DHS's racist claim that he fit the description of another Asian man they were looking for.

BREAKING -- ChongLy Scott Thao's family has released a statement disputing DHS's outrageous justification for his arrest. "He does not live with, nor has he ever lived with, the individuals DHS claims were targets of this operation ... [the family] does not know the individuals DHS references."

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.
