ICE dragged an old Asian man out of his home, almost naked, in below zero temps

Twist: he's a US citizen and they eventually released him.

Unless you're white, you've got a target on your back.

Shouldn't local law enforcers show up? Getting names of those involved?

People tend to have their papers at home and his family can show them. ICE don't give a F about your papers, citizenship, birthplace, etc. It's about race and intimidation.

He didn't have his papers on him in the shower.

Oh, I think they're about to say you need two copies of your papers at all times. One in English and the other in German and stamped by an approved Nazi notary.

The windchill was below-zero when ChongLy Scott Thao, 57 — wearing only boxers and Crocs, with a blanket draped over his shoulders — was handcuffed and ushered outside by federal agents agents who broke open his door.

The Jan. 18 incident in St. Paul stoked fresh outrage about ICE’s tactics as its agents spread across Minnesota. Thao is a U.S. citizen with no known criminal record in Minnesota.

St. Paul Mayor Kaohly Her, who is a family friend of Thao, called the aggressive actions of federal immigration enforcement agents unjustifiable and said she’s livid about what happened.

According to an online fundraiser started by sister-in-law Louansee Moua, agents pointed guns at the family while Thao’s 5-year-old grandson was napping on the sofa and “woke up crying in fear, witnessing armed officers storm his home.”
