Minnesota ICE Raid Triggers Claims of Mistaken Identity
TL;DR Summary
A Hmong immigrant and naturalized U.S. citizen, ChongLy Scott Thao, was seized from his St. Paul home by masked federal agents in a Sunday raid, dragged outside in freezing weather and later released about an hour later without charges after authorities said they were seeking two sex offenders believed to be at the address; relatives and local officials disputed the account, saying the wrong person was targeted and the incident sparked fear and scrutiny of ICE tactics in the Twin Cities.
