"It is utterly inevitable that when the U.S. government floods the streets with a new crop of hastily trained and prepared agents of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), and give those people arbitrary quotas to achieve in meting out government brutality against illegal immigrants, that ordinary American citizens are going to get swept up into the net of pain."
"That man's name is ChongLy or Chong Ly "Scott" Thao, a 56-year-old St. Paul resident who reportedly awakened from a nap to family members telling him that agents of ICE were in the process of breaking down the home's front door. He was subsequently taken into immediate custody, handcuffed and loaded into an ICE vehicle, wearing only flip-flops and boxer shorts."
Federal immigration enforcement with hastily trained agents and arbitrary arrest quotas has led to the wrongful targeting and mistreatment of U.S. citizens. A Minneapolis killing (Renee Nicole Good) went without visible Justice Department investigation. Citizens have been detained for recording agents, pressured with offers of money or favors for names, and arrested during ordinary activities without protest involvement. A St. Paul naturalized citizen, ChongLy 'Scott' Thao, was awakened during an apparent raid, handcuffed, placed into an ICE vehicle wearing only flip-flops and boxer shorts, and denied time to dress. Reports indicate agents provided no explanation to family members.
